$Mini Tile Auction Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Procedure

quote:
From Roleplay $Mini, anybody?
Tile Codes
Tiles will be named by this system:
LETTER OF CITY - WORKFORCE NUMBER
For example:
A9

City Letters:
A Monterrey
B El Paso
C San Antonio
D San Diego
E Santa Barbara

In the event two cities share a tile within their borders, precedence is given to the city that has a lower letter (A being the lowest and E the highest).

Purchasing Land
Land will be auctioned off at a date that will be set later. You may purchase one tile on money borrowed from the Guv'ment, and after it is paid off you may purchase more tiles (no more debt buying allowed, though.)


Remember the rules on production and selling:
quote:
Production
Each tile produces as much food, shields, gold per turn as it does in the game.

Wasn't that easy?

The slightly harder part is that it costs $2 to produce food, $3 to produce shields, and $4 to produce gold.

Consumption
Tiles' production are, obviously, consumed by cities. City managers (or mrmitchell) will be appointed to control purchase of the production by the cities.

Although goods produced anywhere can be transported to any city, as they travel "one turn" for a slow unit (three tiles, in other words), their cost goes up by $1 for the city. The $1 is lost forever (unless someone comes up with a better suggestion of what to do for it.)

Cities consume:
Food Their population * 2
Shields From 1 to the number being consumed in game
Gold From 1 to the number being consumed in game

Transactions
...can be initiated between players, other players, and cities. A given good can move once per turn.

Basic Price
On the first turn, the prices are:
Food $3
Shields $4
Gold $5
(per unit.)

However, after that, players may sell for as much as they want, and cities may buy for as much as they want.

The Goal
To be the richest jackass when the real Game ends!


Now, post your bids--you each get to bid on only one tile, so make it the one you want. (If someone else bids higher and you don't feel it's worth that much, then you may change.)


EDIT
This is the tile names.


Everything is clockwise--the cities go clockwise from center (Monterrey is A, El Paso is B, San Antonio is C, Santa Barbara is D, and San Diego is E), and in each city, the tiles that it has are assigned numbers clockwise. I didn't skip any numbers due to overlaps for the sake of keeping things simple.

For example, the thick brown circle is tile A18. The blue circle in the northern coasts is B20. The light brown circle west of San Antonio is C7.

Some notes about the map: The borders are really just arbitrary with a little influence from cultural size and then Monterrey having a full implement (it's is T3H CAPITAL) and although most tiles match up with their city border color, B20 doesn't, and I screwed up E8 trying to figure out how to fix it. The tiles around E are darkened to help visibility.

Now start buying ****, damnit!

EDIT
In order to SPEED UP the game, seeing as these and then (Arnelos) or (WIA) might bid if we pester them enough is probably all of our players, you may each bid on TWO TILES

Sorry for any inconvenience

by the way:

quote:
Bonuses and Resources
[10:56:53] the El Paso citytile and B2 have bonus
[10:57:06] B11 has Incense
[10:57:23] (incensed hills are 1-4-3)
[10:57:46] B5 has cattle (4-3-2)
[10:58:14] B3 has Game (4-2-2)
[10:58:25] A9 has Game (5-1-2)

Damned. If I would have known that there were bonus tiles as well, I would have made other bids. Same with bonus-shield grasstiles. Now they are occupied by others, for only $1! That's not fair.
How to solve that, Señor Mitchell? The others deserve their the tiles of their choice as much as I deserve a chance to bid on them.

You may change your bids, but you'll have to bid higher than the previous bid on a tile.

Mitchell, we need to know how much tiles that you may buy in the future will cost. If you know that, you can adapt your strategy on that.

All tiles will be doled out in Auctions that are held every [unit of time], say, two weeks, or upon important events when necessary.

The minimum bid is $1, of course, for any tile.

Sorry. Oversight.

Another oversight was not listing the sea bonus tiles--although they're clearly denoted by the Fish and Whales, just for the record,

B12 is Fish (3-0-4)
C7 is Whales (2-1-4)

I think we need to include in every bidding post the TWO tiles we're bidding on, so that it's clear which tile we're no longer bidding on.

I'm having a hard time keeping track of which tile is going for what.

Actually, the idea is you can't have more than two high bids, that way, when the Auction is completed, still noone gets more than two tiles. I'm just leaving in the lower bids that have been changed for recordkeeping purposes.
