Then don't read the thread? I don't know what to say to that.

It is about Mitchell not getting what he wants and to quote him from the chat "I just want to beat mento, im sick of his sh*t"

The bidding ends once a bid has been made, and then a 15 minute period has passed. This allows snipe bidders to not come in and steal it..

...and previously you said mento is just going to beat you for mentioning him.

We are in the same boat.

You people are arguing over rules which you believe should happen in every auction. Those who don't read this thread will not follow those rules if they've been doing it differently for god knows how long. No point in forcing your opinion when it's just going to happen again.

And if you want to turn this into flame wars back and forth, and has no real benefit to the rest of the community, take this off the forums and go to PMs. Seriously.

2 toxics and 10k ctp

13500, 2 Storages.

You're still losing, better up your bid.

Toxics = 2K CTP
+10K CTP

= 14K CTP..

13500 CTP
+ 1100 CTP (Two Storages)

= 14600

yup and my bid is your bid -499, but I get a +500 so basically your bid +1 ctp.

You're not mento.

correct, but my bid is higher and you are currently not leading so you need to keep increasing it until I decide that is it not worth asking all my friends for ctp to buy a planet I already bought.

Ok, just because I like to use FACTS for my debate arguments... Here ya go... Keep in mind that the timestamps are all MY timezone.

Auction starts with 24hr time limit-9:33a
Mitch's last bid-730a
Mento bids-1132a
Roast bids-1140a
Atlas disqualifies Mento and Roast's bids after-the-fact-635p
LittleFluffy bids-837p
Athena bids-930p
LittleFluffy bids-932p
Atlas closes auction-958p

So.... If the auction ends at exactly 9:33p which is 24hrs after the start, LittleFluffy wins if you allow "snipe" bids. If you give a 15min extension as an anti-"snipe" measure, LittleFluffy wins because 958-932=26min.

Therefore Mitch, your whole argument is invalid. Forcing a restart to a CLEANLY won auction is ridiculous.

Darth, I have already explained to LF what happened in FB chat.

yes, you were being a good boyfriend and couldn't come on for hours after the auction ended and forced it to start again by harassing the guy to the point he is not enjoying the game. To quote from my ship comm "Cause im being Raped by 5 trader when I should be enjoying the game"

I am still winning with a bid of 14601 btw

Grats for being a standup guy when it comes to your partner. But forcing Atlas to modify HIS auction based on YOUR personal life (well past the predetermined end time I might add again) is just...well...arrogant and self-centered. Sorry...

Let me get this straight.
I get sidetracked while replying, When I come back I see that the auction was sniped, and I move on, Making a point to come back and comment on the post after I had done some errands
When I come back I do this, and get backed up by another potential bidder (Athena).
Atlas reopens the auction.

Not exactly moving on if you come back, just sayin'. All this did was spike the price for me, and show you are spiteful toward mento (you stopped after I took the lead again) and o look I won...again. Want to pay me the 7801 ctp you cost me for your grudge against Mento?

Or was it because your girlfriend got mugged, or because it is too good of a planet to pass up, which you did, or was it because I was able to snipe the person who sniped me.

Btw notice Athena--> original sniper, wonder why they would back you up in restarting this auction, never placed another bid either. SHOCK someone just being a jerk and trying to raise the price.

The one good thing is that Atlas was already in TU.


I declare this auction over and done with anyone who post a bid after this is buying it from me.

Move on IN MY LIFE making a point to come back to the auction in an hour or so.. doesnt take a genius to know what I meant by that.

I couldn't care less that Athena didn't come back, She wanted it reopened, Maybe the price got to high for her/him too quickly.

TBH, You cannot declare this auction over, The seller does, and according to the post, He reopened it.
If you are going to claim wrong on me, Go back to your friend mento, who did a SIMILAR thing to me.
I didn't do that, I asked, the seller didnt have to, It was hit choice, Given the fact that 2 people asked him to reopen it because of sniping, I would do that too
