OFF: [Stonemason] March Stone Auction

[Jason Cobb via agora-official]

Pursuant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Hot Potato Stone], [Alchemy Stone].

The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM0 and AM5. In case of contradiction
between either the latest published ACORN or the platonic set of auction
regulations and the below text, the below text shall control.



Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  BIDDING: Players CAN place a bid on an auction in its bidding
  period by creating a public message (henceforth a "bid message")
  specifying an amount of that auction's currency. Players CAN
  withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if
  the item is new) the set of assets associated with the lot e
  won.
  
  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.

Regulation AM5/3
Selective-bid Auctions

  Selective-bit auctions function like generalized auctions except:
  
  * Bidding messages on a selective-bid auction must also specify a
lot that is preferred.
  * One bid class exists for each lot of a given auction, with bids
falling into the class for the specified lot.
  * The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the player who
placed the highest bid in the set of bids made by funded, non
withdrawn players whose preferred bid is the Nth lot.

Auction Regulations
   This section has the regulations, written by the Treasuror, governing
   how auctions proceed.

Regulation AM0/5
Generalized Auction

  Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
  types of auctions. They CANNOT be held directly. Other auction
  methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
  override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
  explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
  overridden.
  
  INITIATION: When a person CAN begin an auction by this or any
  derivative method, e CAN only do so by specifying the type of
  auction method to be held, a list of lots to be auctioned off, and
  the currency for the auction in a public message (henceforth the
  "initiation message"). The bidding period starts at this point.
  
  BIDDING: Players CAN place a bid on an auction in its bidding
  period by creating a public message (henceforth a "bid message")
  specifying an amount of that auction's currency. Players CAN
  withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  
  EXCLUSIVITY: Bids in an auction are grouped into classes of that
  auction. Unless otherwise specified, all bids in a given auction
  are in a single class. A bid CANNOT be made if, in the class it
  would be in, another bid already exists with the bid amount of the
  hypothetical bid.
  
  TERMINATION: The bidding period ends four days after the final
  instance of any of the following events' occurance:
* the auction begins
* a bid is placed
* a player withdraws from the auction
  
  AWARDING: For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal
  to the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the Nth
  awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee is
  undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away. Auction methods
  specify how awardees are picked for auctions using that method.
  
  PAYMENT AMOUNT: The amount that an awardee in an auction is
  required to pay for eir lot is, unless otherwise specified, the
  amount of the auction's curency specified in eir highest bid on
  that auction.
  
  FUNDED PLAYERS: Derivative auction methods should ensure that only
  players who, at the end of an auction's bidding period, have at
  least as much of that auction's currency as the amount that e is
  required to pay in that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
  be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction method.
  
  DISTRIBUTION: To distribute lots in an auction is to:
* publish a reasonably accurate full history of bids on the
  auction and withdrawals from the auction, and
* for each awardee in that auction, revoke the amount to be paid
  from that awardee and transfer to that player (or grant em if

  The Auctioneer for an auction CAN, by announcement within fourteen
  days after the bidding period for an auction ends, and SHALL, in a
  timely fashion after that same point, distribute lots. The message
  in which e does so is the "resolution message" for that auction.
  
  ACTIVE BIDS: The set of active bids for an auction is the set of
  all funded, non-withdrawn players' highest bids on that auction.
