First, let's start with shopping purchases.

Player	Fee	Items bought
Nancy Drew 39	3	Surplus Ammo Pack x1 Scissors x1
Charles510	20	Large Ammo Pack x2
RH9	6	Surplus Ammo Pack x1 Basic Ammo Pack x1
Space	0	(No purchases)

No purchases from Space. Nancy gets five throws plus one scissor; Charles gets twenty-four throws; RH9 gets ten throws.

Rolling dice for the ammo packs. 1 = rock; 2 = paper; 3 = scissors.

Nancy Drew 39:

Original Roll String: 5d3

5 3-Sided Dice: (2, 1, 2, 1, 1) = 7

Charles510:

Original Roll String: 24d3

24 3-Sided Dice: (2, 2, 1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3) = 46

RH9:

Original Roll String: 10d3

10 3-Sided Dice: (3, 1, 3, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2) = 19

Next up: who bid what at the item auction?

[Farren]

Here's what everyone bid on items:

Name	Bid	Lot
Nancy Drew 39	19 coins	Silver MacGuffin
Charles510	(No bids)	-
RH9	10 coins	Hand Grenades
Space	(No bids)	-

Results:

Nancy Drew 39 pays 19 coins and wins the Silver MacGuffin; she immediately gains

+0.3 VP.

This will persist through the reset at the end of the tenth auction, and stacks with the Bronze MacGuffin.
RH9 pays 10 coins and wins the Hand Grenades! From now on, if adding +1 throw to a bid would cause RH9 to

tie

an auction instead of losing it, he will automatically change his bid to force the tie.

Nobody bid on the Horseshoes. They are lost to the depths of time and space.

Status update in the next post.
