Social Wrighty presents Forum Sheep game for 2024 - Round 12 Underway

[Inruin]

Never seen an auction where u can tie bids- makes it a bit harder to follow and inruin is just gonna tie everyone anyway so the black sheep thing seems a bit of a waste of time but whatever- we’re under way now.
So what’s the time in nz now?

 

[Inruin]

No

I am saying if someone bids $10M on Brandon Smith they will not get him as a black sheep pick since we would set a price cap on potential black sheep at $1M.

Therefore if someone bids $10M on Brandon Smith let them. And they will end up with a player that cost them $10M out of their $12M cap.

If someone bids $1M or less you would be unable to tie bid them to stymie them and would need to outbid them by $1K

Nah leave it as it is.

Can’t I hate both?

You wouldn't be alone

 

[Wrighty]

Nah leave it as it is.

I am very tempted to change it as it is too easy to block black sheep attempts at the moment. Making people bid $1K more to block a black sheep attempt takes Kahunas from the blocker.

To clarify does the round close at 6pm or between 6-7 but random so get your bids in early?

Birthday dinner at 6pm tonight

I’d still just go with no black sheep bids in the open bidding rounds. Leave it to the hidden rounds.

I will be leaving my bidding in the hands of the footy gods…

Do you think that outbidding by $1K to stop black sheep is still a bit of silly buggers? To coin a NZ 1970s expression.

Yeah, save the hassle of blocking bids, makes it a true auction paying the price you want for a player and creates more of a bidding war

I think coming up with a black sheep should be the exception rather than the rule. If you just leave it to the hidden rounds then someone will most likely bid a sensible price because they have no idea if anyone else will bid for that player. It’s really up to people to bid for the players they want without being influenced by what others are doing.

Let is be so as of Round Two onwards but we will finish up Round One with today;s rules.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Black sheep will only work in silent auctions or players that can slip one in during the last few minutes before close off.

First one is the intention, the second one is not skill.

Silent auction is good and where it should be. It’s how we want the game played where nobody just gazumps everyone. $1m limit is good and I support $400k discount.

Open rounds it’s no skill if you slip on in at the last minute
