Ok so an auction happened, and the winner decided not to pay so Sios said ill bid, (it was for 7 diamond btw) so he bid 300, i bid 305, he bid 325, i bid 350 he bid 351 i bid 352, evildead goes once twice and then sios says, "Screw off I called dibs," so evildead agreed to sell Sios the diamonds, when i was the winner. And then he said that he was gonna buy them off of him anyways, so i said why not use /tr? and Sios said, because /auc grabs more attention. something needs to be done about people doing this, like using /auc as /tr, or /tr as /auc (yes i know theres a rule about using /tr to announce /auc but when youre using /tr as the whole auction, seriously)
Well, cmon, dont be a smart***. It's just a game. Sometimes people dont follow the rules. I mean, this doesnt even deserve a jail. Sios is a pretty good person, he just sometimes breaks the rules. Besides, i dont remember a rule about trades bieng in the auction section. (atleast not obviosly stated)Sometimes people make mistakes. Nobody's perfect. I wish I could downvote...
Okay, if you'd like - I'll actually tell the entire story that you left you. :] An auction went up for 7 Diamonds, starting at $300. Randomcola [Oh, did you not forget this gman?] bidded up to $450 for the Diamonds, outbidding everyone else. Randomcola then decides not to meet with evilsonic13 because he cba'd to go to spawn to buy the Diamonds. Because I was bidding earlier against randomcola, I asked evilsonic13 in auction if he was interested in selling them to me because I was at spawn already. I was still in /auc chat just because that's where he left off and there was also the issue of a ton of [G] chat coming up that made it almost indistinguishable from seeing an individual's chat. /auc was able to at least bring it up and it was in the channel I was last at, since I was bidding for the diamonds prior. Evilsonic13 agrees, although I offered $300. He tries to bump the price to $350 and gman says, "Yes." At that point I'm assuming evilsonic13 got somewhat confused and took it as another auction, to which I ended up taking the $350 offered to me earlier and paid him. I tell Evilsonic13 to go into spawn and told gman to "Gtfo" because I was already at spawn and this offer was offered to me. I do fully realize the mistake both I and evilsonic13 did by typing in Auction Chat but it wasn't intentional for being a FFA [Free For All] auction. //Edit: For future references gmanburgers, please do not file complaints that are against individual mistakes. The only thing you will accomplish would be me being punished, which I will accept accordingly, and the depletion of andrew's time to check such complaints that don't amount to such a large issue. My guess is that you're just perturbed by the fact that I was offered the price and not you. If you'd like to solve this civily, I'd prefer if you /tell or /w Sios. That way we can deal with the issue without the need of an authorative figure. I mean, we both don't want to be a pain to andrew now do we? [Over such an iota issue as well?]
if youre going to discuss a trade. go to /tr, (you know the part i complained about, you can distinguish the it from [G] chat too yaknow.)
Problem solver, sell him 3 diamonds at the price you got the 7. $350/7= $50 per diamond $50*3= $150 $150 for 3 diamonds I think it's fair. Though the GTFO was a little rude, it was a mixup that could happen to anyone.
To which I'd reply - Please note the emphasis on the bold tags. //Edit: Also, I apologize for being so rude earlier. I was caught up in some adrenaline rush and I just came back from work. I was also already infuriated with the bids that randomcola did and not keeping his end of the bargain to it, so I wanted [emphasis on wanted] it.

50 per diamond is WAY too low Its only the "average price" or "base line" because a lot of the old members sell it for that because they are used to it =/ But ask yourself, is 5 inron ingots the same as a diamond? no it isnt, it isnt even close People can find 5 iron in maybe 5 minutes, people find only around 5 diamonds a day. If diamonds never got removed from /sell, then they would of probobly got raised to 150, and I think thats an ok price for diamonds, although a bit too low. When I sell diamonds, my base line is 100 each, and I say to my self "Man, this is way to cheap. Why cant the users understand they're worth more" This isnt anything related to the topic, but I thought I'd let that out :l
Related to your unrelated post, regarding prices of diamonds. I have no stand in my price being justified but I'd like to point out EcoCity's Weapon's Store that sells a Diamond Sword for $100 EcoDollars. This sets the price to at roughly $50 per Diamonds since a Diamond Sword requires 2 Diamonds.
Shouldnt be in the store, as you cant sell it back to server But baseline of 50 is WAY WAY too cheap. It has to be 100 ATLEAST, but I think a nice price would be 150. People are being way too cheap here.
Agreed. I came into the server seeing Diamonds at $70 each. I guess with more Diamonds introduced into the Economy, the cheaper it becomes - Those Adventure Hunts for Diamonds are a great way to remove the Diamonds from the economy to inflate the price of Diamond. Also, done reply back regarding on Diamonds. I'm getting off topic now. ;P
...I see no point in keeping this up, locking... And yes, auctions we can't really do anything, and like Sios said, might as well just pm him.
