Event planning: 1 cur Auctions (Ended)

Hi everyone!  Thanks for the interest!
There has been some conflict with times, and there is the fact that degradation of food may or may not be introduced into the game, so:

The Auctions will be held Tomorrow night, September 9, at 10PM EST in Groddle Forest Junction.

-Anyone is welcome to come and do trades.

Items traded will mostly be food stuffs, but there should be plenty for everyone.

The trades themselves are a surprise- and we only ask for 1 currant in exchange.

--- Anyone else who'd like to help is more than welcome. I'm going to start setting out notes in game for the information as well.

  • "An auction event at my house... to introduce them to the auctions"

    Is this an event at your house where people can bid, like a real auction?
    Or will you "trade" the items on auction to the first player that says they want to buy?
    Or are you going to use the regular auction to do this.

    In the last case you should take into account that some players use an "auction sniper", a greasemonkey script that automatically buys certain items under a certain price. Your 1 currant cherries will most likely be gone the second you post them in auction...

  • This makes me think, what about a trading party? Invite all the global chat kids, and thr experienced players can gain the ttading accomplishments, while patting each other on the back and helping newbs get almost-free stuff and used to the trade dialog.

  • That's a great idea, Zeezee. I'm disappointed to hear about the auction sniper script, though. Dominating resources = not cool.

  • Flirty, I like your idea! I will be happy to play the Rube and trade away with newbies in return to trading accomplishments :-)

  • I'm kinda saddened that you're only including one "cur" in this auction. I was hoping to find some more for my Pirate Ship!

  • Can I donate to this? I would also love to be an auctioneer and attend but I've been so busy not sure if I will be able to

  • Such a great idea, Zeezee! I'd love to donate too - but, as Laurali, not sure if I'll be able to make it.

  • @Victoria:  thanks for pointing that out. I didn't consider that- and yeah, that pretty much ruins it for other people if we go the way of regular options. :(

    @FlirtySexyvonhaven: I'm not sure how that'd work except if it was maybe set up in Groddle forest for easier access to novices? However, I'm open to ideas!

    @MimiBerry, Violet, Laurali, Lexi Smart: we'd love to have your help! Since I'm not exactly sure when the next test is running, I'm hoping to brainstorm with the people participating in it when would be the best time for everyone. If someone can't make it- it happens. I have a group up called 'Auction/s' and I'll send you an invite. Join if you're still interested in helping out.

    @Skwid-  Sorry, curs are extremely rare right now! I'll try to find another for your ship!

    Anyway- There are more thankyous I need to give than I have in my memory- so generally, thank you everyone (you know who you are).  It was quite a success!
