ATG6 Auction: Closed bidding and nomination thread

[danielz]

And looking at the financial page, I am miffed as to why Potkettleblack didn't win Vance. He has the $ available to claim him.

And yes, it has been a busy 3 days on my end. We hosted Thanksgiving this year,. We spent today working on a Christmas gift program for homeless kids today, plus we have 4 homeless families staying at our church this week and I need to go back there now.
Hope to check in tonight around 8

Claiming Miljus.

I like Rick's idea of making it an open auction when there is a situation like we have had where there is an illegal bid that wins.

[kimkrichbaum2]

I can live with the solution put forward by Hackra, ironwill gets Miljus, he puts forth Simmons or another hitter at a lower price. (although it would have been much less advantageous for ironwill to get Simmins at 6.50)

However going forward, I would like us to go [u:c1984df32b]strictly[/u:c1984df32b] by timelines. I think there has been a lot of confusion, I also think there has been a lack of discipline in managers making sure there were never enough bids out there to put them in overbid territory. And I think in someways they have gotten off a little easy.
In the future, I would like the clear policy that the moment an overbid is seen. The last player or bid out is cancelled, All other bids out by that manager are cancelled, and maybe that manager is not allowed to bid on anyone for 48 hours, just to keep things clean.

The only other situation that would work for me in the present is to go back about a week when this whole mess started, and cancel everything that has happened since. Because all the bids are interlocking for me, and my bids on players like Collins have been effected by this whole hub-bub. But that seems like an extreme option, and I would only want that if a number of people wanted that option.

Assuming we are going forward, this would be the situation.

My assumption was as carr20 suggested at the time that the Vance bidding (including the recision of the then illegal bid by PKB) would be acceptable as long as no one objected.


But....there clearly is an objection here.....Therefore-

Rather than having danielz nominate a new pitcher to replace Vance, I would propose that that auction also be rescinded and thrown to an open auction.....

...litangel is right that all of these problems have cascaded, but I do not think I can go back and sort out which auctions to redo and which to keep in retrospect.

another option would be to accept PKB's bid on Vance (even though he did not have the $ at the time)

Again...I would like to hear from a few folks before a decision is "handed down", but I think in this case, that Vance could go to open auction with an opening bid of $3.00 by DHowser with anyone who bid on Vance allowed to participate.

regardless of the decision of the group, I am right with litangel that each of us needs to be responsible for our own bidding and excercise appropriate restraint.

What is everyone else's thought?
:roll: :x :evil:

As I am the one who started this snowball downhill, let me just say that whatever the consensus is, is fine with me. Honestly, this hasn't been a good auction for me, so I don't feel I have the right to even suggest a solution, as any could be construed as in my favor. Gizzards, anyone?

[ironwill1]

Simmons replacement.

Dale Murphy .72

[JOSEPHKENDALL]

I personally can go either way.

If the times we have had controversy has caused some to bid differently than they otherwise would have, I can understand going back and undoing the bids back to the time it first started.
