QVist has reached maximum auto-bid. Chance to re-bid.

A few of you have stated that you'll pass on exceeding auto-bid. That's also useful to keep the game moving. (obviously sometimes you won't really be sure, so it's fine to wait until you have the chance to re-bid)

Qvist · « **Reply #52 on:** January 09, 2013, 12:22:14 pm »

Pass

Sorry I meant to pass if it exceeds the bid. Next time I make it clearer.

If you start an Auction, but fail to win it, you start the following Auction as well. This continues until you have won a bid, at which point the next person in line who has yet to win an Auction starts the bidding.

ahh yes, I just checked the rules and realized this. Haven't played this game in over a year, and I think we probably played this part wrong when we did. I guess I chose the wrong power plant then last round... whoopsies.

I open bidding on plant #3 and bid 3 on it. I post this here then pm theorel my max right?

We now start Phase 2, Buying Resources.
First to buy is liopoil
For buying resources you can post in thread in (reverse) turn order. Post what you think you're paying and what resources you're buying. If there is a discrepancy I'll give you the chance to change your purchase. You can also PM me conditional purchases (example: I will buy 1 oil for $5, or 2 oil if it totals no more than $10.)

Question: would it be easier if I rearranged player information according to player order, or is it better to keep player information in a constant order?

Galzria · « **Reply #73 on:** January 10, 2013, 08:51:41 am »

Can I post my buy ahead of Tables if he cannot impact it? (He's only got Oil, I've only got Coal)

theorel · « **Reply #74 on:** January 10, 2013, 08:58:15 am »

That'd be fine, or you can PM me if you like.

There are probably points in the game where knowing how many resources opponents have purchased will influence your own purchasing decisions even if there's no direct impact. (knowing how much money you have left, and how many turns you're buying up for can certainly impact the last couple turns. Probably doesn't make a difference currently)

Side Note to liopoil: if you already know where you want to build you can PM me that too. Or you can wait until after resource purchasing and post it publicly.
