The Friendly Date Auction - Volume IV - 18th December - 3pm EST/8pm GMT - Maril - 12-02-2016 The Friendly Date Auction returns with it's fourth installment! Where: Mists, Ward 12 Subdivision, on the pier! When: Sunday the 18th at 3PM EST / 8pm GMT - Time converter here. The Friendly Date auction is a twist on the tried-and-tested date auction concept. Here you can sign up to be sold off within three different categories: Friendly dates - Great way to meet new people. Maybe it'll be the start of a friendship to last a lifetime - who knows? Service dates - Are you a mercenary? Bodyguard? Craftsman? With this type new to the event series, you can now offer up your services for a day. Romantic dates - For those who just haven't found the one yet, here's a chance to get a memorable date just in time for Starlight. No real gil will be used for the auctions. Instead, when arriving to the auction, those interested in bidding will be allowed to spend up to 100 IC tokens which are distributed throughout the event. The tokens are finite and personal, meaning you will not be able to get additional tokens and you may not use others tokens to bid with. A person can bid on as many auctions as they want until their tokens run out. If two or more people bid 100 tokens on one person, then the choice falls to the one being auctioned off to decide who they want to go with. Are you interested in signing up? Then either reply to this topic or send me a PM with the following information: Name: Type of date desired: Friendly/Romantic/Service (choose one). - If romantic, gender preference: Brief description of your character or character's service: Optional screenshot Sign-up's close when the event starts. There's a hard limit of 25 auction slots. All entries will be added to the first reply of this thread, so you can get an idea of who you might want to bid on. Guidelines/Rules: - Please do not bid on auctions if you do not intend to follow through, should you win one. - Prevent your date from fizzling out by initiating contact, and setting up a time and place. - Feel free to personalize your time on stage. - Auctions are closed when the bids die out, or a bid of 100 is reached. - For the services category, please refrain from signing up with ERP services. - In an effort to increase transparency, the order in which the auctions will go will be put up on the day of the event.
