Hey hey hey! Lily here, all up in your RPG comm, setting up your date auction.

First off I want to apologize for not getting this up earlier. Excuses include a lack of sleep last night, busy morning, and an 11-year old register at work deciding not to let anybody close (it was trolling and I was not amused). tl;dr--I suck. :D

ANYWAY, so, here goes the date auction (many thanks to the fantastic Callie for the idea)! Below this cut is a list of people up for auction. If your character is not on this list and you want them to be, send me an e-mail ASAP (thespiffinator@yahoo.com)! Also below the cut are the rules. Play nice!

IC Rules

• Professor Puddifoot's decision is final! No exceptions. There is not a published "limit" on any student, but she reserves the right to end the bidding and award the student to the highest bidder at any time.
  
• The starting bid for any student is one Galleon. Please only bid what you can realistically afford! Minimum bid increment is one Sickle.
  
• Students will be auctioned in alphabetical order*.
  
• Remember, you may not bid on someone in your own house.

OOC Info

• * = unless we forgot somebody, then their comment will go at the end, and everybody should pretend it's in the proper place, for timeline purposes.
  
• Each character gets their own comment thread. For an example of how the bidding should go, see here. Feel free to have the character being bidded on react to how the bidding is going, either positively or negatively (but Puddifoot will take points/give detentions if they're too rude, just fyi).
  
• If someone signed your character up and they would not turn up on their own, feel free to assume Puddifoot found them, got them out of class, sent a house-elf after them, etc. Whatever was necessary to get them up on that makeshift stage!
  
• Students who are being auctioned off are free to bid on other students. Students may also bid on students of their own gender, though they will probably get some strange looks (not everyone supports free love, after all).
  
• One (1) Galleon = Seventeen (17) Sickles. Please refrain from using Knuts, for neatness' sake. There is a currency converter here so you can think about how much money your character is about to spend before they spend it. Keep in mind that these rates are as of 2007, and this auction takes place in 1977, so money is worth more than it is today (that is a really, really shitty way of explaining it, but you know what I mean. Forgive your exhausted modlet.)
  
• If you have discussed OOC the results of the auction with another player and you want to make sure that X Character wins Y character, feel free to e-mail a mod, and we'll make sure that that happens. ;)
  
• If your character isn't getting many bids, don't worry! That's what giggly younger students are for ♥
  
• I personally apologize for Puddifoot's comments. She is a terrible, embarrassing person. Worse than your one embarrassing aunt. She takes her wig off when she's drunk.
