Bidding Rules:
Upon arrival at the front gate to the amphitheater you will be asked to wait line in front of either Lady Seraphine Winter or Lady Eva Ianeira. When it is your turn you will be given a quill and parchment where you may write down your opening bid for the date(s) of your choice. Once you have turned in your bids you my proceed through the gates to find a place to sit.
When the volunteers are presented on stage the current winning bid will be announced at the auction will start at that price. When the auctioneer allows the first round of bidding to open, if you would like to challenge the current bid please raise your hand and say how much you are willing to raise the bid. The highest bidders price will then become the new starting bid for the second round and the same for the third round if needed. After three rounds of bidding, the auction will cease and the winner will be pronounced by the auctioneer. Remember, you are only allowed to make one bid per round so make sure you make your bid count!
Once you have made a successful bid, please step forward and trade Lady Eva Ianeira your gil and receive a flower to give to your date. Remember, once you have won an auction, you may not make any more bids. Participants may bid but must understand that they are required to go on both dates they have agreed to.
Good luck to everyone!
OOC Bidding Rules:
The auction will work much the same as it does IC with one exception. When you wish to place a bid, please send a /tell to Eva Ianeira with the amount. Again, you can only make one bid per round and if you accidentally make two, your first bid will be the only one accepted. This is to help keep Eva's chat log cleared and ensure that no one's bid gets missed.
