Just checked the previous email - I changed the reply-to for that message to the business forum instead of the discussion forum, but it didn't change the subject line. (If it had gone to discussion, like you say it wouldn't have worked). On Mon, 9 Apr 2018, אורי פופקו wrote: > Thanks :> > > I

As far as I can tell it's all straightforward and legal. I mean, I didn't bid until right before the end of the auction but nothing "underhanded" other than auction-sniping. My reading of the rules is that I can do this on behalf of omd and it doesn't affect anything, but the act-on-behalf

Sorry, I was wrong here. I assumed auctions worked like Agoran decisions in that the auction ended when it was resolved, and you were just obligated to end it after a certain period of time. You're right, and I should make sure that I understand the rules better when I talk about these things.

That could extend the auctions indefinitely. Yes, I had control a week ago. Everyone could see the date, and had a week to arrange their schedules if they wanted to snipe the auction end. There's another one coming up for land - is that one unfair? you all know about it. The timing thing is
