Regarding my Akdul Auction post.
-
Can we please all stop assuming things relating to this.
What if the whole thing was a ploy by the Sheriff, and they don't know who made any bids and simply seek to scare people into coming forwards, knowing the auction was set up by Akdul given the fact the fliers were dropped in the slums and roads around the city.
Notice how the Sheriff's posting never, ever mentions any names of people who bid or won and even ASKED for information in a secondary post. Maybe he doesn't know who bid or who won! What a crazy thought!
Please people, think outside the box and stop with the tears. Some people are actually trying to make things interesting for people
-
I have a fealing its going to backfire on the sheriffs..but we'll see! it got my intrest atleast.
-
But if we don't kill nature.. How will we build our houses?
-
Ploy is fine but i never ever treated the forum as happening but seems it now is so you can expect some questions to be asked when you use a forum for selling things between players as a event that happened.
If that makes any sense…...
-
Make sense? Not really, given the original posting was clearly an IC advertisement.
I would just suggest thinking before complaining or even just PMing the person and asking the question.

While I tend to agree with you I simply ask myself: where were th IC sendings, flyers and related stuff during auction time?
I haven't spent a lot of time IG lately but I've seen/heard none on the forum until the action was closed.
This is why it seemed to me an "OOC" issue rather than an IC one.
As I said, though, I think the idea is nice. Next time I suggest to post (on the boards) during the auction time and take some IC actions.
In that way you might even get some informant stuff going on.
-
I've actually treated 21T's post excactly as he described here, I hope my suggestion post is seen in that light and not as tears: I'm sure everyone has their own idea of what the auction forum is and isn't at the moment, so I am hoping for a clear note.
-
The Auction forum is and always has been an IC forum. It is the same as the Bulletin forum - it represents posters in game with writing on them.
If you want to buy things from a criminal without getting caught do it in a shady bar or use an alias.
-
Bah. Handle it IG, peeps.
-
I am sorry I still feel like that falls under metagaming
-
It doesn't.
Deal with it IG, ICly.
