Auctions

[rojomojo915]

So the auctions start today. Does anyone from FHC plan on observing them, and if so, would they mind posting the results here so we dont have to wait 2 weeks (TM) for CCP to announce the results and the price paid?

CCP says they are taking place in the "Alliance Tournament" chat channel.

Edit: Also, over/under on first Auction spot going for more than 25 PLEX?

[Varcaus]

Under

[Lorkin Desal]

Will be bidding/will be posting chatlogs of the ones I attend.

[rojomojo915]

Under

Think Im goin to agree with you since all the top alliances (PL, Hydra, Darkside, list goes on) could get in cahoots with each other and agree to not bid on certain auction slots.

[Intigo]

nope, over

Welpo way off

[Raivi]

Yeah those values are much higher than I expected them to be.

[Lorkin Desal]

Chat-Logs are huge. PM me if you want the files.

[Tsubutai]

AT X: No poors, no hydras, no waffles.

[Traxio Nacho]

So out of just 8 slots CCP have already made an extra $6k

[Lorkin Desal]

Yeah those values are much higher than I expected them to be.

Yeah, I was bidding 25-30 and people were outbidding me by 10 right off the bat.

[Raivi]

The last slots are gonna go for like 11 plex, since everyone will have blown their wad early and there will be almost nobody left to bid.

Not that I'm unhappy we paid a premium to get this process overwith a few days earlier.

[Intigo]

a bit of fun in this day of dark tidings

[Tyrus Tenebros]

To be (sort of) fair, they're broadcasting everything which does require some expense. Also even if you don't think a slot is worth that, clearly people are willing to pay the man.

Not my money :shrug:

[Lorkin Desal]

[17:45:53] minerdave > Total Cash Value of plex so far: 1050PLEX = 511bil = $18370aprox

[rojomojo915]

Should of gotten more than 2 Plex, unless 35 was your upper limit.

[Daneel Trevize]

I guess FaffyWaffy or whatever his name is from DarkSide found some spare change then.

Hope they pew better than they've been posting.

I look forward to DarkSide flopping in the tournament - of course, there's far less competition now, so they may not.

[Jack Coutu]

I enjoyed CCP Soundwave shitting on No Holes Barred and saying Percussive Pizza Time Diplomacy over and over. I even outbid myself twice in an effort to make him say it a few times.

[Mike deVoid]

So Fearless. bid 45 Plex and then didn't pay.. apparently?

$20k IRL dollars may seem like a lot, but for an event like this it's really not that much money. They'll probably spend more than that on just the broadcasting...and maybe give a little bonus to the AT team who work so much overtime for typically nothing.

I think a new smiley is needed to express the tears.

If Darkside as you say are so bad why not enter a team and show them how good you are? Oh wai....

[Larkonis Trassler]

Darkside have been crying a lot because people have been spying on them in their wormhole.

Basically.

I'm going to spy on their hole.

My friends have been spying their hole.

We're going to tell other people about their hole.

Lol.

Stupid bads who cry about being spied on.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

Contact me if you want to plunder their hole.

But I'll think about it.

Looks like we paid what ended up being average for the day, looking forward to it!

Sedi couldnt maket it would have changed things (not if they had acted like now though)

[Xiang Jiao]

What the fuck is this shit game coming to? Since when have you had to burn PLEX to bid for a tournament berth? Wouldn't it be better to make alliances fork over ISK as to remove it from the economy?

You want plex prices lower yeah?

[Xiang Jiao]

Mainly, I would like the economy not to be a total disaster should I decide to play. I don't really see how this move helps matters. PLEX price seems to be down by about 20-30 million ISK from a couple months ago.

It's a drop in the ocean either way.

Although I can see why CCP are doing the plex thing rather than isk to try and off set some of their costs, it does just smell to me of subtle lets milk our players for more monies.

However looking at the plex price since they announced it would be plex for places the price hasn't really moved, was expecting them to hit 550mil+ like when they did the plex for gpu offer but they were still under 500mil last night. The price might come down even more if people have already bought plexs for the auctions and don't get through.

I don't see why you would think that. Even if all teams paid 50 plex each (that's 64 teams) that's barely a single days worth of plex trade only in Lonetrek / Jita. It's a drop in a ocean.

neo is a massive jew that does things on his own on behalf of the corp that really can be dumb and seem like emo stuff. idk what his goal was there really. Regardless we are a single corp alliance and managed to raise that isk, so not sure why some of the larger groups had so much whining to do.

some serious psyduck-internal-drama there - not only are we terrible no-name carebears, but that was paid out of our orca-replacement fund by a director mistakenly given master-wallet access :(

people in corp are literally going apeshit about it, since the orca fund was kinda a big deal (we'd done a LOT of mining towards it, 100% corp tax weeks, incursions etc) and lark has already ragequit over it. amantus has been banned from posting about it and Bad Vlad has stepped up as team captain. we've resorted to begging Ralara to resub as at least half the corp were his alts anyway.

[Larkonis Trassler]

Nigga speaks the troof.
word up this team is going to be packed with bustas. Not enough OGs in the corp anymore.
peace out bitches.

We set aside over 50 plexes for this, so 38 seems cheap but then you notice that the later spots going for 10 makes me :O

TBH This sounds like a alliance I can get behind.

[Sakura Nihil]

Dammit, I hate being right.

Looked at the number of entries that fell out of Soundwave's hat during the draw, said to myself "there can't be more than 30 or so alliances in there", and low and behold 31 alliances go to auction. While I know a couple dropped out due to not getting the auto-entry, we could have saved ourselves a lot of cash had we waited :x.

Oh well.

[Snake]

Confirming CVA has the worst executor ever.

Took 5 minutes of me yelling at EQ to bid for him to actually do so.

lmfao

and that's with people doing wormhole logistics and shit

why the fuck do they set up in wormholes if they have an incompetent moron in charge of actually bidding?

they nearly didn't get in despite everything

Apparently he didn't have eve voice on because of terribru.
