They will reappear at the end of the game. And it shall be a glorious battle, one that the children of our children shall chronicle in the Annals of Legend.
I have made my bid on the Five of Diamond. I am prepared to accept challenges for it if needed and will be available to change my bid if necessary, but for now the bid is made, and I encourage others to do so early as well, before announcing it of course.

Looks like everyones' found the card they like then. All right, Darinas hasn't consented yet, but I think it's safe to assume he will.

I'm interested in the 5 of Spades in this set! Also, I do agree we don't worry about the leftover as it's just more for people to pursue later on. Regardless, nice to see our cooperation worked here!

The Ace can be both high and low? Well, still makes the same number of points, and this way you get a straight flush, so go for it!
That begs the question; can the Ace be high and low at the same time?

That begs the question; can the Ace be high and low at the same time? A single Ace cannot be high and low at the same time. You cannot wrap a Straight around. If you have multiple Aces, one can act as high while the other acts as low, helping you fill both ends of Straights. In such a situation, the Ace will not double-count for points from the Straight.

Sorry for round 1, I completely forgot this was a thing during easter, and only remembered it mid-round 2. And for round 2, i just wanted some cards, so i bid on all of them without really checking what was going on.
As for the current situation, I kinda expected there to be more bidding. Are there any cards people want me to throw back in the pool?

Suddenly, a voice echoed out from Bar Lionsgate: "HAHA! I, the prophet, have foreseen this circumstance! If you all can follow the plan, I'll give you FREE DRINKS over at my bar on the very day a winner is decided!" 5 minutes later... "... Turn-based strategy games are unrealistic. Why the hell are my units defying me again? Oh. They are not alive. Am I mad? Yes. Are they sane? No. HAH! No more free drinks for you lot!" And life goes on as the mad barman proceeds to talk to himself until the end of the day.

Now, I know I should probably save this until it comes up, but considering I was the only one who got a card here with such margin, and considering what I am going to suggest now, I included a screen-cap of my bid last round. Note that it was sent in before Deendir returned, that I nor him had any way of knowing it would be enough, and how I did warn everyone in good time. That said, I think we should continue our cooperation, and if Deendir is interested in making ammends he may choose to abstain from bidding the next three rounds. I would also like it if he could share screen-caps of his bids as we progress, so as to assure our cooperation is not threatened. Now, you must think I am either stupid or insane, considering I have disproven any ulterior motives, but I think we can find a way to make this work.

If we simply bid high, it would cost too much to steal again. If Deendir is telling the truth and wants to make amends, then I suggest he sell all of the cards that we had called for as soon as possible. He even got them for cheap, so he likely won't lose much, if anything.
When and only when he's done that should he start getting other cards. If this is round three and he sells five of his cards without bidding on any, then he could get two cards on rounds four and five. This would mean that he would still have five cards, an equal shot in the game, none of us would be mad, and he might even get a few more coins out of it if he's lucky.
And to Incognito, I apologize. I read your warning, and promptly kept my bid the same. I did believe you, but I was foolish in thinking that he wouldn't bid on mine. Whoops.
In other news, it should come as no surprise that I wish for the 2 of Clubs.

What card should I be throwing up for re-auction?

All of them except for the 10 of Clubs.
And please don't freak out and go "That's all of my cards!" like I would likely do in your situation. Remember: You get two cards in round 4 and 5, which may end up good for you, who knows.
I'll even pay 5 coins or more on mine, ensuring that you come back at least even on it.

Sorry, but the rules only allow me to put one card up at a time. I can only put one card up. Which one should I put up?
I don't mind putting them back. This was my screw-up.

Wha- (checks rules) Crap.
Well then. The options would be:
A. Sell one card every turn until we get the cards we want, keeping the truce going until this is sorted out. This would last til round 8.
B. Have you keep the cards, and only start bidding after round 5.
C. End the truce here, go for a free for all.
Now I don't want this to go on till round 8. We could try to have the actual truce end at round 5 and just agree to not steal the cards you would be selling, but that requires a lot of trust and cooperation for a group that's against each other. I'm against option A.
Option C also isn't optimal. We have a good thing going, and it would be a shame to see it go to waste. I still prefer it to option A.
Option B seems to be a good bet, but is has problems. While you're cards are good, you also didn't really choose to have them, and I can't say that they are the best cards you would have. Some of the other players might not like it either, if they feel you "stole" their cards. Both of those problems can be helped to some extent by putting your cards up for auction. Finally, you would be out of the game for a while, which would probably be slightly boring on your end.
Personally, I like Option B the best, but this is something that would have to be up for a group vote, and you would have to agree to that vote for anything that isn't Option C. Lots of 'ifs' here.
