ok since I started this stupid thread here's something more serious i don't quite understand in the auction pages there is this; Zeord is the least sq meters with one bid, but Ariantica is larger with 2 bids yet they both show $750 as the price, did Ariantica start cheaper than $750, or is this a updating bug?

Ariantica (82,12

Mature 65536m $750.00 2 4/26/2008 2:00 PM
Zeord (180, 20

Mature 61120m $750.00 1 4/26/2008 2:00 PM

edit: hmmm just checked in the bidding list, according to that there is only one bid for Ariantica, can a bid be cancelled, would that account for this?

I'm not into the auction, but my guess is that sims is priced at at 750 but with 0 bids. Then someone comes along and bids 750 for one. That would account for what you see.

Back to the OP, before Dekka hijacked his own thread

Speaking of M, someone found him sleeping on the job:

Phil not what I was pointing out, this is my query, maybe should have made it clearer:

Ariantica (82,12

Mature 65536m $750.00 *2* (<= 2 bids) 4/26/2008 2:00 PM
Zeord (180, 20

Mature 61120m $750.00 *1* (<= 1 bid) 4/26/2008 2:00 PM

I see what you mean. It looks like there's a bug in the system now. The Faarsign sim shows that there have been 6 bids, but only 2 are listed, and the Pilod sim is similar.

Now THAT is truly a classic photo, one to cherish for all time. Maybe Melanie can get it autographed by M himself.

Let's see if I can get the photo direct linked here.

Ahh! but that's different, 6 bids - 2 listed can actually mean two people have bid 3 times each, it only shows the latest bid from one person, however many time they have bid.

Dunno what you were seeing, but here is what I see right this moment:

Ariantica (82,12

Mature 65536m $803.00 4 4/26/2008 2:00 PM
Zeord (180, 20

Mature 61120m $750.00 1 4/26/2008 2:00 PM

Also, note that you can bid anything in this system, apparently, even the same as the current bid. High bids win, but ties are resolved via oldest bid time.

yes it's moved on Talarus, I agree 4 bids now, but the last bit of your quote makes sense now, the first two bids could have been for exactly the same amount.

Being CEO is hard work. Maybe he was just taking a short nap. I'm sending him the Luneko New Resident Kit. He needs a little sprucing up.

Edit - wouldn't it be FAN-F-ING-TASTIC if he did this at the place which must not be named on penalty of mockery? I'd start by hanging a bucket on his head. Then maybe a teddy bear and a balloon. Put a sandwich in one hand and a bottle of scotch in the other. Then he needs some fish swimming around him. Gigantic gag sunglasses on the bucket. Raggedy Ann Doll tucked under one arm. Then it's photo time!!!
