Auction ends at the 7th day of November 617, at 10 pm GMT

Isn't it a bit early to end the auction, or did I get GMT wrong (which is totally possible )?

Governor Guilder has sent 400 golden doubloons to Gregory Decker.

I'm not sure why I want a ship back that has never survived a mission unscathed, but maybe this time it'll all work out.

Darn, I think you're right.

...wait, I'm stupid, wrong day.

Darn it @Legostone I got outbid because the thread was revived!  (No hard feelings, I can bid again)

[Capt Wolf]

For those of you wondering where your newly purchased or re-purchased ship can begin the November MRCA, here are the November starting locations for the auctioned ships:

The HRS Ardent, HRS Tonnant, Wolf II, and the Flying Colt are in Longjaw (zone 24). Edit: Leopoldis is the settlement name (Longjaw is the island name).

The Aspiration and Supreme are in Westface (zone 13).

Hades' Trumpet and Nerdy Mermaid are in Freeport (zone 27).

I put bids on the Nerdy Mermaid and Wolf II. Am I correct that the auction is now over?

Yes, and one of them still counts, while the other one barely doesn't ()

11/7/2017 21:58:28	Dukesc	Oleon	Nerdy Mermaid	750
11/7/2017 21:58:43	Oleon	Oleon	Hades' Trumpet	423
11/7/2017 21:59:39	Oleon	Oleon	Wolf II	402

(anyone noticing the error in the google sheet: Forget to change the timezone earlier. It is correct now, even if these bids show up as an hour late)

 

This gives us the following auction result (without my messup this time)

Flying Colt	3	Bloody Bill	Silentwolf	200	0	250	SilentWolf	Corrington
Hades' Trumpet	5	Gregory Decker	Sea Rats	420	0	423	Oleon	Oleon
HRS Ardent	7	Bloody Bill	Oleon	700	0	875	Oleon	Oleon
HRS Tonnant	8	Bloody Bill	Oleon	900	0	1125	Oleon	Oleon
Nerdy Mermaid	3	Bloody Bill	Pombe	200	0	750	Dukesc	Oleon
Supreme	3	Gregory Decker	ETTC	200	0	250	ETTC	Corrington
The Aspiration	6	Bloody Bill	Phred	560	0	700	Phred	Oleon
Wolf II	4	Gregory Decker	Sea Rats	300	0	402	Oleon	Oleon

(green has already paid, and I'm sitting here wondering how an unmocced class 5 gets more expensive than its value)

@Capt Wolf

Arr! I hate sendin' back gold! Would've kept it hadn't these crazy paperguys been glued to my neck all night! -Gregory

Did you mean to pay quite that much for a class 3 ship @Dukesc? Jumping the price from 226 to 750 is quite significant.

Let's just say the bidding here isn't the same as EBay....Lol  Yes, I was willing to pay that much, but unbenonced to me if you bid, you automatically pay your MAX amount rather than some increment higher than the next highest bidder. I'm not worried about it and look forward to having the Nerdy Mermaid. She is afterall a very well made ship!

[Bregir]

We've had other types of auctions before where you do not need to be present to keep placing incremental bids, and I suggest something like that going forward.

I remember running a closed tender auction, where the highest bidder paid the next highest bidder's bid plus 10 dbs. Everybody simply had to submit a single bid before the deadline.

@SilentWolf, @Kolonialbeamter, @Captain Genaro, @Dukesc
Sorry for taking FOREVER, but the accounts that have made these purchases have had these ships added to their accounts were added to your accounts.  The stats from the previous owner were copied to the license.  If you had already licensed the vessel under another name, let me know by PM or in this topic and we'll get it squared away.
