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

Regulation AM0/1
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.
  
  1. INITIATION:
  * The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
  * Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
  2. BIDDING:
  * Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
  * Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
  3. TERMINATION:
  * Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
  4. 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.
  * Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
  * The auctioneer of an auction SHALL after the ending of that
auction create a public message (henceforth the
"termination message") that contains a full history of bids
on the auction and withdrawals from the auction. It should
also clearly indicate each awardee and the lot e recieves.
  5. CLAIMING:
  * During the period from the end of the auction until 7 days
after the publication of the termiation message, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.
