He said he was on a chopper that went down/took fire when he was reporting on the iraq war and he wasn't.

For the last challenge of the day, we’ll be playing a game called Scamming Auction.

Scamming Auction

Before we start this game, each player will receive 50 OWURG BUX. OWURG BUX are not coins, but if you would like more you can buy them with coins. It costs 1 coin to get one OWURG BUX. To exchange coins for bux, message Carp.

In scamming auction 7 covered auction lots will be presented and numbered 1-7. Each lot will have be coloured red, blue or yellow. For 40 minutes players will be able to bid on lots with BUX. All lots are available for bidding on for the entire 40 minutes. At the end of the 40 minutes each lot will be given to the player who has bid the most on it.

To bid on a lot, make a post like this:

quote:

##bid 10 BUX on lot 5

If your bid is not more than the highest bid on that lot it will not be counted.

Each player will receive one clue about the auction lots. 1 clue on it’s own is not worth much, but many clues together will reveal the lot numbers of the prizes. In addition to the clues you are provided, 3 more clues will be revealed at 10 minute intervals. Finally, 2 additional clues will be available to purchase for 15 coins each. To buy a clue IM on skype and specify if you’d like Clue A or Clue B or both. Two copies of each clue are available. After a clue has been bought twice it can no longer be bought. You can buy a clue more than once.

Finally, to make a bid you must pay BUX surcharge. This means it will cost you a number of BUX for each bid you make. The surcharge starts as 0 and increases by 2 every 10 minutes

When this games starts there will be No trade

I'll take questions before showing you what fabulous prizes will be available in this auction.

Here are the seven prizes in this auction:

  • Immunity 1

  • Immunity 2

  • Secret Immunity

  • 70 Coins

  • Steam Card + 10 Coins

  • CS avatar + avatar certificate + 10 Coins

  • Wizard Battle + 10 Coins
Explanation of each item:

All items can be traded after the auction but a player will see what item they are going to get and get an option to accept it or decline it

Immunity - There are two immunities available in this auction. As soon as the challenge ends, the players with immunities are revealed and will not be eligible elimination candidates in the following elimination vote.

Secret Immunity - This item is not revealed at the end of the auction. It can be exchanged for immunity in the same way you can purchase immunity with coins but it does not increase the cost of purchasing immunity. It can be saved for a later episode.

70 coins - You get 70 coins. Yeehaw.

Steam Card - I will buy you a real steam game for $10 or less with my real money. 10 coins too.

CS Avatar + Avatar Certification +10 coins - The marvelous Carpet Shark (:coolfish:) will draw you an avatar AND you get an avatar certificate. 10 coins too. Great value here folks

Wizard Battle - An absolutely free copy of Jon Joe’s critically acclaimed and Award winning game Wizard Battle. 10 coins too.

Worth playing for?
