WWE Game XIII: Auction/Trading Thread

[Hammy]

^ You assumed Jim's bid was a joke, really?

120k on a guy whoif was on the draftable rosted wouldof been a5th pick at best. That's funny.

Simple, the only fair way I can see to resolve this, restart the bidding from D's bid of $80,000, drop Reks, people have 48 hours if they want to outbid him (properly).  Its one thing playing chicken with bids, but this whole cloak and dagger, fake bid/real bid stuff, if you had thought Jim's bid was "Wrong" to pretend you think its "Right" just to win the bidding is pretty stupid, we've had problems before, and as I've always highlighted, this game is meant to be simple and fun.

[More Cowbell]

Blame all the cheapness on the. Dirty americans.

Ok let's restart the bidding at 81k and I will drop tommy dreamer when I win.

[More Cowbell]

81k on Drew and drop tommy 'icant even find my way onto ecw to job" dreamer.

[D]

I honestly don't care, I am happy either way but just saying, we have rules for a reason.

My posts swerved on purpose cause I realized he didn't follow the proper protocol

If u don't name the wrestler, how can u pick that person up?

So next time, Can I say, I bid 80k drop Reks and then just fill in the blank when I so desire?

[Hammy]

No, since I'd ask you who you were bidding on.

Everyone KNEW who Jim was bidding on, thats why nobody questioned it.

so there is a set of rules for Jim and a set for everybody else?

All I ever ask of this game is consistency, something I think is missing in a lot of ways.

Some weeks it is if a bell rings, others is WWE.com, others is if the ring announcer says this or that

there has to be consistency

its very simple, u post how much u are bidding, who u are bidding on and who u are dropping

So if u don't put who u are dropping the bid isn't valid but when u don't even list a wrestler to pick up it counts?


Thats fine though, we all know I am way ahead of the only two against it, and u don't want me to win

that is fine

so let jim have him, cause I don't want any excuses when I win this game.

[Gnrfan]

I don't understand whats happening here.

Last i saw Jim was bidding 120k on Drew.... Has someone outbid him? and if so how many points?

I have no desire to enter the bidding but i'm shocked that someone has outbid Jim? I've tried reading through but i still cant seem to make sense of whats happening.

I think this game is consistant.... and run fairly. Sometime descions have to be made on the fly but some people put alot of work into this game and if that decsion is made by them then i'm happy with it unless its something like Hammy gets 100 points a week coz Billy Gunn didn't wrestle on TV..... Again!

D is winning and still complaining. haha. i think we have to keep in mind we have some new players and people trying to be "crafty" isn't cool coz others may not be able to spot it.

So did D bid points to outbid Jim?

[Hammy]

^ Because Jim didn't actually name Drew specifically when he bid on him, he is trying to say it therefore doesn't count and Drew is his.

I'm sorry but the way you went about this D is bullshit and you know it so don't try backtracking, its not one set of rules for Jim and one for another, fiy you'd of said I bid $120,000 on him and drop Reks we'd of accepted it because there was only one bidding battle going on.

The need to say who you are dropping was created so a switchover can be made as soon as things end, to make the process smooth.

I never thought I'd need to create a rule stating who you are bidding on as well needs to be stated because thats generally a given, and if people don't understand it, they will question it.

And to bring up old problems with consistency that we have done our best to sort, its stuff like this that takes the fun out of the game, enough already, I did the fairest thing possible taking into account everyone's point of view by restarting the bidding, at your bid.  I could of just given him to Jim, which in all honesty should have happened, but this way Jim has the chance to bid again anyway.

So as things stand, Cowbell has bid $81,000 on him and drops Dreamer.

[D]

nothing is bullshit and if it wasn't for my bitching, we'd still be operating under the same  rules from previous games.


I am fine with Jim having Drew, I was just pointing out a flaw in this that needs to be addressed because what if Drew gets injured and all of a sudden the person can be like, I never said blah blah I was picking up Drew.

Jim had no idea who we were bidding on

I think u should have to know the wrestler u are bidding ons name or it shouldn't count.

U say u knew who he was bidding on, he didn't.

Just saying, what is the point of having rules if they aren't followed?

Like last game at Summerslam. Cena vs Orton. Bell rang, Cena was announced the winner by DQ.

Match started again, Cena was announced as the winner by countout

match started again, winner and still champ Randy Orton

So the bell rang, Lillian announced the winner but because u say so, it is only ONE match. and then u can run and say, well WWE.com only has it listed as Orton over Cena when months before that u clearly say how, u don't go by WWE.com because they put up the wrong results.

so it has to be one or the other, it can't be just whatever suits u at the moment.

we should either officially go by WWE.com or the bell ringing or whatever but it gets annoying when one week, someone gets pts and the next someone else doesn't due to bullshit technicalities.

I think Drew is a jobber and I could care less but point is, He didn't say who he was bidding on which is against the rule.

[Hammy]

So you did it just to point out the flaw in the rules and you didn't really want him, well gee thanks a lot. 

At Summerslam the match was restarted, I don't change the rules "When they suit".

I'm just going to pick someone else to run this game because I've had enough!

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I thought the consensus was that we went with wwe.com unless it was cleary wrong (eg. saying a match was for a title even though the title was never mentioned on TV)?

At SS, it was announced that the match was to be "restarted", ie. the decision made by the referee was overruled and the match would continue.

However, I agree with D on the point about Jim's bid not counting since he didn't know who/what he was bidding on.

Next time, we could just have a rule that says you have to state who you are bidding for, who you're dropping as well as how much you're bidding, just so we don't have to argue any more over something like this.

[More Cowbell]

This has gotten way out of control, I think hammy runs a great game and runs it fair. Nothing is perfect and this game will always need rule changesas different things come up. The rules are not a bible but a working list that weadd to and change by a group decision. I was being shady as hell when I bid before and can't believe how shady things went to hell. Seriously the rules are more then fair and the game wouldn't be fun without ham

[Hammy]

Next time, we could just have a rule that says you have to state who you are bidding for, who you're dropping as well as how much you're bidding, just so we don't have to argue any more over something like this.

Right I've cooled down, so that rule is fine, I never thought we'd have to be that detailed.

I'm not happy that after all these changes we have made that D feels fit to still rip apart the game as being inconsistent, despite me explaining the Summerslam "Restart" as mentioned, as BlowUp said, unless things are blatantly wrong, we all agreed wwe.com.  And to even mention its because your in the lead and we don't want you to win.  Its insulting when I make a point of trying to make this game as unbiased and fair as possible.  I "run" to wwe.com when it suits.

Say we sweep this under the carpet and move on, how long 'til the next time I get accused of being biased, changing the rules to suit and being inconsistent?  The points been made this game isn't perfect but we try our best, sometimes I think you forget that and think this is a walk in the park.  I know your competitive and want to win, but sometimes things just go too far.

If you wanted to point out the flaw, you could of just said when he bid that the bid was wrong/invalid, rather than posting to make it seem like it was valid, especially since you couldn't careless about the "Jobber".

I tried to restart the bidding, in the fairest way possible, yet still the complaining continued.

Well I'm not going to let this incident spoil the game for everyone else.

The bidding was restarted, and Cowbell bid $81,000 on Drew and he drops Dreamer.  If Jim wants him for $120,000 he has the shot at him again, if you really want him D then bid away.

Now hopefully this will be an END to the matter.

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I think this game is run as fairly as is possible, but I guess there'll be things every so often that haven't happened before and people will disagree on them.

In the end, it's supposed to be fun, arguments shouldn't happen over silly little things. The "100 points because Billy Gunn was absent from TV" rule on the other hand....

[Evolution]

I could find numerous posts from the HTGTH days of upped bids that don't name the wrestler being bid on. The assumption following on from the opening bid was more than enough. You can't honestly say that Jim bidding on 120k on a completely unrelated wrestler makes any sense whatsoever.

82k on McIntyre drop Ryder
