Pretty sure I messed up the time zone / period. What are we using? I just put GMT

We're using British Summer Time which is one hour on from GMT.

@Skizzo

Thanks @Physiocrat

 

[Pat_Mustard]

This is turning messy. Not even a hint of anyone getting a bid over the line yet.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

Not sure if we're at this point yet but it's looking like we're reaching a stage where we have to spend so much of our budget on these packs that there'll be little room to make up the deficit against those that strike gold with the player they get from their loot box.

Personally I wouldn't be opposed to just binning this round and either banning all or most of the loot box players, or lobbing them all on the list at 100m starting price. Not meaning to start an insurrection here @2mufc0 , just not sure that this is going to plan.

 

[2mufc0]

why keep bidding though? You made your own bed as they say...

 

[2mufc0]

If you don't want the pack you win you can sell it back to the bank at a discounted rate as per the rules.

 

[P-Nut]

100% don't change it now as everything that's happened so far will have changed people's plans.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

Point taken to an extent, but if we have to end up with a box anyway then we basically have to keep bidding to a) have any choice whatsoever as to who we end up with and more importantly b) stop the next guy from getting a box for 30-40 less and having a big advantage in the auction proper.

If you don't want the pack you win you can sell it back to the bank at a discounted rate as per the rules.

Ah, that changes things a bit. Do we still have that option after we find out what player we get from our winning box?

The whole point of the loot box is that it's a gamble in the end. And if you get a Maradona or a Beckenbauer the 100m spent is great value in the grand scheme of things, as in previous drafts the 100m were their starting prices for these players.

And no one will get a box for 30-40m less, the rules state the box will revert to the bid it was before the winning bid (I put this in specifically to stop what you are worried about in point B) .

And yes you can sell back any player you win but keep in mind the fee.

Fair do's lads. I'll shut up about it now.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Reset back to preceding bidder too?

just browsed through the rules, but let me know if my bids are good @2mufc0

we're using GMT right?

Think it would be better to refrain from scattergun bids on multiple packs at this stage. I used to do them myself at the beginning, but realized they only make several managers "homeless" who then have to outbid you and those with lower bids again. So you'll lose these packs anyway, and the result will be the same as before, only at a higher price level.

Logically, with 14 packs and 14 managers, the only way bids can succeed is when every manager is settled on one pack and has no incentive to hijack other bids. The whole thing needs to settle down at some point.

@Himannv

 

[2mufc0]

Fair do's lads. I'll shut up about it now.

There is also the trade option too, so make sure you make some friends

 

[Physiocrat]

@2mufc0 Do trades between managers have to be conducted on the thread or can they be discussed via PM?

 

[Ecstatic]

If rules have to be changed, then let's give up the 1st round and concept of loot box, and let's have a pure auction draft interrupted by transfer windows.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

everyone should stop bitching around, everything goes as it should. What did you expect, to pick up Diego for 70M? You get a GOAT or a positional GOAT, anything below 100M would be moronic.

 

[2mufc0]

Either is fine by me.

 

[2mufc0]

I think so too. I think the previous auction the uber goats went for way more than 100m.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Did somebody win the Pele pack already?

 

[Himannv]

Did somebody win the Pele pack already?

Hmm, that one has dropped off the list by mistake.

 

[Physiocrat]

Rules are fine. Let get on with it

Tbh my plan so far is as scattered as my bids as I’m getting used to the rules and picks so far

Tbh I think prices are pretty good so far so no surprises.

What happens if we don’t have a pool?

 

[GodShaveTheQueen]

Please increase the bid of all packs by 10 mn for me.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Everyone should stop bidding now

 

[Enigma_87]

pretty sure that's not valid:

LB.6) Total bid values cannot be higher than available funds.

 

[Ecstatic]

For 1st round only no constraints apparently
Synco put 50 on all the 14 packs at the beginning

 

[Enigma_87]

14*50 equals 700, so he could.

The excerpt is from the loot box round, which I think equals first round?

Hum, you are right

LB = loot bow = special round

[Synco]

Think you'd automatically get the last remaining pack for a set price (= the second to last bid)

 

[Ecstatic]

@GodShaveTheQueen

You need to re-submit based on the right time.

During final 3 hrs of the bid, up bids of minimum 20m only.
