Now we wait for the ATG6 launch :!: :!: :!: :!:

I will plan to continue this message thread as a chat one, and we can open up more threads for closed bidding, open bidding, ...when ATG6 is out.

Are we planning on finishing the ATG V auction before starting this new one? I thought it might be a bit confusing if we try to do both.

My guess is that it will take 15-25 days to complete the ATG 5 auction and I was hoping to start the ATG 6 auction sooner than that, but I could be convinced to wait if it is a problem to start one while finishing another.

(or we can hurry up the current auction and get it done this weekend :lol: ...PKB is almost done already :wink: )

release date is Thursday. joekendall suggested a delay in starting.

What do others think?

(My preference is not to wait too long, but I have no problem with waiting a week or so)

Week sounds good.

I have no problem waiting a week

A week, or even seven days is fine with me.

I don't think a week is a good idea. I would rather have it be more than 6 days but less than 8.

Who's getting the beer while we wait?

There seems to be a consensus on a start time.

We will start aproximately 6 days and 24 hours after the launch of ATG6 and I believe that danielz is in charge of the beer...not sure he is willing to share it though :?
