[Mr. Miyagi]

Very hot but poor girl is starving.

[Historian]

Yea, what is she.....13?

[The King]

Yea, what is she.....13?27

[Ebenezer]

27

She gets two birthdays a year?

[mysticsoto]

You guys are crazy...the girl is hot, and you nitpick about thinness and age? She's a model. It's her job to be thin and young looking - looks like she's doing a great job!!!

We got a few overbidders out of the way now...if you guys don't want her, I'll take her...

[Static]

I placed a bid, but yeah too skinny.

[Historian]

Her eyes are heavenly.

[OpIv37]

small boobs, but other than that....wow.

[Michael82]

Holy ****! I wondered when u were going to break out the models. Definite bang! :drool:

[Michael82]

After checking out a bunch more photos on the internet and enjoying them, I'm upping my original bid (I havent placed one yet). She's a definite hottie! :hubba:

[Michael82]

I'm shocked that this girl didn't get more attention...

[BLeonard]

I'm shocked that this girl didn't get more attention...

Just because people don't post in the thread, doesn't mean they didn't bid...

-Bill

[utmhead]

she will go for at least 75K

[DraftBoy]

she will go for at least 75K

I hope that's the exact amount she goes for actually. Though I doubt it.

[The King]

Miranda was highly sought after to say the least.

I am going to come up with a penalty for people who submit cards to free agency... TBD. It creates more work for me to have to list and create these cards twice.

Here are todays numbers.

21,000
27,500
30,000
30,050
37,800
42,001
45,001
57,400
61,552
62,500
70,001
75,000
110,201 WINNER SabreEleven

[Homegrown]

Yea, what is she.....13?

Yes Sir!!! :D

And, with that, SabreEleven is over $190k in with 2 cards...

If the penalty for putting cards on FA are retroactive, he could be in trouble...

-Bill

[Static]

Damn waaaaayyyy to much.

[utmhead]

Sorry Draftboy

Making it retro-active isnt fair. So that wont happen but I am thinking about it. This will push players to try and sell rather than just return them. He's obviously going to have to do that at some point now.

[BLeonard]

The best suggestion I would have would be to set a rule that, if you drop a player into FA, you're not allowed to bid on a card for X amount of days (the number in my head as I type this is three). Had this rule been in place when Sabre put his cards up for FA, he wouldn't have been able to bid today...

Having 3 days not being able to bid and not knowing who's coming up would make someone think... What if their "All World" woman comes up during a time that they can't bid?

On a separate note, might wanna prevent someone from bidding in the FA auction, if they put the card up... I know it didn't happen, but what would have prevented Sabre from bidding $40,001 on Beth and winning her back at half the cap price?

Note: I'm only using Sabre as the example, as he's the one who has sold cards back.

I think everyone that plays this game agrees that it is pretty damn cool, just needs some rules-tweaking, things that could only have been found in trial-and-error. :up:

-Bill

[Night Train]

She could play horsey on my lap any day of the week.

Bang

[The last buffalo fan]

I was close, damn you S11!!

[Static]

I was close, damn you S11!!


Not Really :refuse:

[BLeonard]

Heh, I could have doubled my bid and been over $20k off

-Bill

[DraftBoy]

Sorry Draftboy

It happens, I figured Id be outbid by one or two zoners.

[The last buffalo fan]

Not Really :refuse:

Did you offer $75K?

[Static]

Did you offer $75K?

Nope, I was the 45,001

[OpIv37]

I think there has to be some kind of cap penalty for selling a card back. That's the only thing that would really discourage someone from overbidding to get someone then selling her back and trying to win her in a private auction.

Also, this almost goes without saying, but there should be a rule that if a card is sold back to Bedard, the person who sold it back is ineligible in the FA auction.

[The King]

definitely ineligible... maybe a week off from auctions, and some sort of cap penalty... maybe 10K.

[Michael82]

Damn...5th place. I knew I should have gone higher. :sigh:

[BLeonard]

definitely ineligible... maybe a week off from auctions, and some sort of cap penalty... maybe 10K.

Ouch! That seems like almost too much... A week off seems a bit long and 5k seems more fair... But, in the end, you're the boss...

Maybe an "Either a week off or 10k cap hit" would be more fair? I think any of the mentioned will cut down on someone dropping a big chunk of cash on someone, just to drop them later, though.

-Bill

[utmhead]

I think just a 10 k cap reduction is fair, there has to be a penalty and having so many girls to choose from, a week off is nothing when you have say 20 more weeks to go.

[jamze132]

Man I wish each auction didn't end so early. I'm probably the only person besides Dujek who loses at least 6 hours each time and I am ready to roll!

[chernobylwraiths]

I always thought the buyback as the cap reduction was enough. You don't need to take away days of auctions. If they have that penalty, they will be unable to bid too high anyway.

[BLeonard]

Man I wish each auction didn't end so early. I'm probably the only person besides Dujek who loses at least 6 hours each time and I am ready to roll!

Well, Bedard runs the auctions, so dunno why you're telling me... :scratch:

I don't see how you lose "6 hours each time" since most all of the auctions have started at 8-9 AMish and don't end until 3 PM EST... They are blind bids, so as long as you can log in once during the day, see who's up and PM Bedard your bid, time shouldn"t play a factor...

But, if you have an issue with the auction times, Bedard's the guy to talk to.... He's the "Gamemaster."

-Bill

[EricStratton]

My only suggestion would be that if you can't sell on your own you're stuck with her.

But the rules are set as they are so we will play by them.

[SabreEleven]

I pulled a Clump but I don't care...This chick is absolutely smokin' and Mikey, since I own this chick, you need my permission to "enjoy" her from now on.

[Michael82]

You do realize that you only have a little over $9,000 left, don't ya? you got no chance to win the game now.

[Historian]

It's not about winning a game.

It's about building a stable that you're proud of.

A stable for display every time you post.

S11, myself, Clumpy, Luis...we've already won in our own minds.

Get it?

Now go out there Michael....and make your Historian proud!

:salute:

Why can't we do both...have a stable we're proud of AND have the ability to compete for the win?

-BillThey're both in Europe, so the game starts later for them, when they're less likely to be on. Basically the equivalent of the people complaining that they are only on in the evening here, so they miss out.

[The King]

I always thought the buyback as the cap reduction was enough. You don't need to take away days of auctions. If they have that penalty, they will be unable to bid too high anyway.

There's too much money floating around out there to make this the only penalty.

[chernobylwraiths]

I don't understand. You have a hard cap of 200,000. If a person sells back someone they bought for 80,000, they only have 173,334 left to spend to their cap. The cards will cost what they will cost and at a cap hit of what it will be.

[The King]

I think we're on different pages. Right now as the rule stands the only penalty the seller faces is he loses ZB's based on the buy back is 1/3 the face value.

The modification would place a delay on your next eligible auction a cap penalty of 10K and the buyback figure. The goal is to make FA a last resort, which makes my life easier and it should curb this crazy 100K+ trend.

Ok, yeah we were on a different page. I didn't know the 10,000 was in addition to the buyback figure. That penalty is much harsher than I thought it was. It's fine with me, I didn't like people dumping their cards either.

Some nice choices on your anniversary thread. There are some ones that will have a lot of bids.
