I give Lot 4 to candilian!

Clarification of the rules: When it comes to Lot transferrals, the intended receiver must post in-thread that he/she accepts the lot. Also, remember that all ownership/effects of lots will be finalized at the

end

of the auction. If you have a box, you must choose to

open

or

reject

it. If you have an item, you keep it at the end of the auction. If you have a Task Retribution Pass, you use it at the end of the auction.

Current Winnings

Lot 2 - Ani - Legendary Box
Lot 4 - orcinus_theoriginal - Task Retribution Pass
Lot 5 - kloud1516 - Spiny Black Box
Lot 6 - JDGA - Pocket Sand

Also, since there're fewer bidders now (Cephrir and orcinus are the only able bidders left at this point in time): If you'd like to cut this phase short and move on to the next set of lots, post in-thread. If they exist, of course. Otherwise, the auction continues!

[Candillan]

I accept Lot 4!

[orcinus_theoriginal]

after due deliberation

i will not be bidding further this round

[orcinus_theoriginal]

i swear to all that is holy if the auction ends right nwo i'll ill you

[Shiidaji]

Always trust the original ruleset outlined in the initial challenge modpost over my words here.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'll change the original post to reflect that. Thank you!

[orcinus_theoriginal]

wait so what is happening right now

[Shiidaji]

You and Cephrir together can still choose to end the auction early, but only if you want to. I changed the wording of the modpost in order to retain ambiguity, to keep you guessing, and to keep with the spirit of the action! Choose wisely.

[orcinus_theoriginal]

cephrir can't bid anymore if i don't want to bid

so i think i alone can end the auction early?

[JDGA]

Ceph could always space bid?

[Cephrir]

Derp I'm a moron

Yes, please go ahead and move on

[Shiidaji]

Technically, if he so chose to do so, Cephrir can up his bid incrementally for whatever reason, so his say is also required.

The auction for Lots 7-9, correct.

Edit: Oh, Cephrir said that. Now orc needs to confirm again, as I changed the modpost.

[orcinus_theoriginal]

hang on let me think about this

[Candillan]

Reading through this again and I have a question.
What's the joke/horror surrounding the Legendary Box?

[JDGA]

It was a reward in a previous Survivor game that was

literally

a Hidden Immunity Idol dispenser.

[Candillan]

: o
How so? ._.

[Candillan]

(Also which survivor game this looks interesting)

[JDGA]

Seafoam Islands, and it was "it gives you an HII then you pass it on to a friend who can get another HII and pass it on again next round"
Except there was no rule about passbacks or anything so it was obviously the most OP thing ever to grace MS.

[orcinus_theoriginal]

predicitons:

legendary is dud

spikes is a punishment

scroll is...HII clue?

i don't think the II is out yet

ugh

[/Mod]

Interjecting to mention that this wasn't

exactly

what the box did. The item gave a lot of creative freedom to the owner, so when it was first created it wasn't necessarily intended to be used as an idol dispenser, Drench can be thanked for that bit of deviousness. I'm sure you could ask ani or kloud about it whenever you'd like, but be warned as it was a topic of hot controversy back then!

VOICE OF MOD:

[JDGA]

Yeah, it was the result of a "create-your-own-reward" reward, so it was probably even

more

OP than I described because of it.

[orcinus_theoriginal]

if i were to pass when would the next set of lots come out

12 hours?

[Shiidaji]

Should there be another set of lots, if you pass right now I would post them in approximately 12 hours.
