Open as a unique way of obtaining some vehicle assets for a faction/organization.
- Please observe a 48-hour posting window from the Storyteller (DM) post. One post per round per character, please.
- There are 10 Lots to bid on, with the contents of each Lot being secret until it is time to bid on it.
- Since this is a blind auction (i.e. nobody knows what others bid), bids are represented by d100 rolls. The higher the roll, the higher the bid. You do not have to bid on a given item.
- Your character has a pool of SIX (6) d100s to spend throughout this thread. Your character can roll as many of your remaining d100s for a single Lot as they choose, with the highest total rolled representing your bid for the round. If you win the lot, the number of d100s you rolled on the Lot will be deducted from your pool. If you do not win a Lot, the dice rolled are returned to your pool. Once you have rolled your dice for a Lot, you cannot change your bid. You may not combine your dice pool with that of other characters.
- Please put the results of your roll(s) in a Spoiler at the bottom of your post, and observe the blind nature of the auction (no peeking at others' rolls, please!) It is recommended to roll dice on the site for this same reason as Discord is more public, but either method is acceptable.
- In the event of a tie, players will roll one more d100 (not deducted from their pool) to determine a winner.
- There is NPC opposition from indie planets. This is represented by two individual d100 rolls representing other bidders each round.
- DM is @Darasuum . Any questions? Please ask.
- Rules/processes are subject to change at the DM's discretion since this is a new system that's being tried
- Original auction style props go to @SlagathorTheUnknown .
Pellios had been a salesman before, he had been a smuggler before and a few times he had performed the duties of an auctioneer. The graying features of the Devaronian scoundrel still had some charm and the ship captain had enough energy to earn a bit of credits and network at the same time. Traveling to older Free World Alliance planets, mid rim worlds and even a few expansion planets, the man had convinced some private defense contractors and governments to put up their surplus for some extra coin.
There were certainly newer combat vehicles being manufactured today that were better than what Pellios was auctioning. But there were plenty of threats that would make people happy to spend their earned wealth on weapons of war. AMS infected, Killik hordes, droid uprisings, bandit attacks, the list went on as long as one’s own imagination. Pellios smiled as he thought about the profits.
“Greetings everyone. Thank you all for joining us this cycle. The first lot will be announced in a moment at which point we will begin the bidding, so please get comfortable. Get a drink before we begin and don’t forget to tip your servers.” He gave a wink knowing that some people might be attending the auction remotely via holo-call. However for those attending in person there was a plethora of libations and various horderves.
*IN YOUR ENTRY POST, PLEASE ROLL 1D10 AND PUT IT IN A SPOILER FOR DM REASONS (this represents a rumor your character has come across pertaining to what will be up for auction)*
