...now that I think about it, I really don't know.
I guess if no one else minds, an extension wouldn't be out of the question. So yeah, sure, let's go with it.
Round extension! Wooo! Everyone bring alcohol and pizza, we're going to wreck this thread and leave the Admin's to clean it up like cool kids!

So the new end date will be the 21st, at 4:30 am GMT. Yeah, I realize that these extensions mean the tournament won't start immediately, but we probably need to do an activity check and quick rebalancing anyway.

Alydar's face appears once more on the TV screen; he sounds a bit bored. "Let's see, let's see... this time we have... Incognito wins the 9 of Diamonds for... ah. Ahahaha, well, this is new? 20 coins gets the card for Incognito. In fact, he also gets the next card for 8 coins, the 4 of Hearts! As for the 7 and 6 of Clubs, Imada takes them for a great 32 coins apiece, wow! Ahahahahaha!!! The 2 of Diamonds gets won by deendir for 10 coins, and the 8 of Spades get won by- Ah. It gets won by Avalon for... a grand 1 coin. Well, that's the cards we auctioned, but what about yours? Incognito's 5 of Hearts gets won by reynardfox for a nice 15 coins. Meanwhile, greedy Imada keeps ahold of his Ace with a great 139-coin bid! As for deendir's 10 of Clubs, Imada takes that as well for 7 coins... As each card's winner is read out, the attendant hands that player their card, and the number of coins is subtracted from their balances. Afterward, the leaderboard flashes onto the screen: Round 6 Resultsdeendir: 5 cards, 212 coins = 25 points darinas3: 4 cards, 216 coins = 24 points reynardfox: 6 cards, 211 coins = 24 points Incognito: 5 cards, 220 coins = 21 points Avalon: 5 cards, 233 coins = 20 points Imada Saneatsu: 7 cards, 156 coins = 17 points Once more, Alydar's voice crackles over the speakers. "Quite a change from the previous round, no? Ahahaha! Well, there's still quite a bit left to go, and there's an extra two cards out for auction again, by deendir and Incognito!" With that, the screen abruptly changes to the next lots, and a timer starts ticking down... You all have 48 hours to make your bid. The round ends at 5:30 am GMT on Thursday, April 23rd, 2015. Make sure to send a PM to Alydar with your bids (or lack thereof) by that time. You are free to change your bids at any time before the round is over, but make sure you include ALL of your current bids in a new PM, even if you don't change all of them. This game will NOT have finalization; the round will end at the scheduled time and not a moment earlier. This may change in later rounds, but this will be easier on me, so I can keep both games on the same time schedule. Your current status for this game should be reflected in a thread in your Inventory. Your cards, coins, and a breakdown of your current points will be kept there. In round-to-round updates, each player's current coins, number of cards, and current points will be shown. The individual cards aren't, but those are easily checked by looking at the results of previous rounds... A reminder that you may now auction off cards, should you feel you don't need them. If you'd like to auction off a card in the following round (Round 8), please tell me. If you'd like to auction a card that you plan to win this round, you may do so on the condition that you do indeed win the card...

Once more, Alydar's face appears on the TV screen, and his voice resounds from all around: "This week on Card Auction, the game starts to get heated! After the niceties of the beginning started to break, a real battle has broken out! For the Queen of Clubs, Imada Saneatsu walks away with it for... 1 coin. Okay... Uh, next card, deendir walks away with it for... 60 coins, wow! Ahahaha! As for the next, deendir wins the 9 of Hearts as well, for 15 coins. Stepping up, reynardfox snatches away the 3 of Spades for 10 coins, though deendir takes the 10 of Diamonds next for 15 coins again. reynardfox and deendir battle off again, with reynard taking the 4 of Spades for 10 coins and deendir the Queen of Diamonds for another 15 (paid to Incognito, of course). Finally, deendir takes back his 8 of Spades for a grand 49 coins! Ahahaha! Meanwhile, the others watch in shock, and darinas3 even gives up 15 coins to the LGT! Ahahahahaha!!!" As each card's winner is read out, the attendant hands that player their card, and the number of coins is subtracted from their balances. Afterward, the leaderboard flashes onto the screen: Round 7 Resultsreynardfox: 8 cards, 191 coins = 52 points deendir: 9 cards, 107 coins = 37 points darinas3: 4 cards, 201 coins = 23 points Avalon: 5 cards, 233 coins = 20 points Incognito: 4 cards, 235 coins = 19 points Imada Saneatsu: 8 cards, 155 coins = 18 points Once more, Alydar's voice crackles over the speakers. "Well, that's quite a change, but we have two more cards up for auction this round, on behalf of Incognito and deendir! Ahaha, let's see what they are!" With that, the screen abruptly changes to the next lots, and a timer starts ticking down... You all have 48 hours to make your bid. The round ends at 6:00 am GMT on Saturday, April 25th, 2015.

Alydar appears once more on the TV screen, laughing hysterically: "Aaaaahahahahahahahahaaa!!! Ahahahahahahahahaha!!! A Joker, a Joker, ahahaha! Better yet, a five of a kind, of Jacks! deendir has discarded his 8 of Spades, revealing it as the Red Joker, and has taken the Jack of Spades for a measly 1 coin! Well, that certainly moves him up a lot, but can the rest of you catch up? Imada starts off by taking the 4 and 9 of Clubs for 20 coins apiece, shooting him up to a nice 3rd place. Meanwhile, reynardfox snatches the Ace, 2, 4, 7, and 8 of Hearts for 10 coins apiece, shooting him far up in the rankings and surpassing deendir's 5-of-a-kind! Ahahaha, can anyone catch up?" Alydar pauses, "Ah yes. I suppose I should mention Incognito has felt the need to drop out. Well, I'm sure he has his reasons, ahaha..." As each card's winner is read out, the attendant hands that player their card, and the number of coins is subtracted from their balances. Afterward, the leaderboard flashes onto the screen: Round 8 Resultsreynardfox: 13 cards, 141 coins = 84 points deendir: 9 cards, 116 coins = 61 points Imada Saneatsu: 10 cards, 115 coins = 37 points darinas3: 3 cards, 201 coins = 22 points Avalon: 5 cards, 233 coins = 20 points Incognito: 4 cards, WITHDRAWNOnce more, Alydar's voice crackles over the speakers. "Not much has changed, but another card has been discarded, this time by darinas3! We start the 9th round, followed by the 10th in which your discards will accompany the two unbid-for cards, ahahaha!" With that, the screen abruptly changes to the next lots, and a timer starts ticking down... You all have 48 hours to make your bid. The round ends at 8:00 am GMT on Monday, April 27th, 2015. Make sure to send a PM to Alydar with your bids (or lack thereof) by that time.

Otherwise, auction off cards D and E." if you would like. You may auction off as many or as few cards as you wish, provided you own those cards.

Here's a reminder that, should you want to discard one or more cards for the Final Auction, you have a bit less than 20 hours to do so.

The TV screen crackles to life and continues crackling as static is displayed on it. Still, you hear Alydar's voice behind you: "Ahahaha, blasted technology!" As you turn around to see a man in a mask, you realize in shock that the man himself has finally shown up for the game! "Attendant, if you would be so kind?" He nods and leaves, while Alydar takes his place and addresses you: "Ahaha. I'm sure you're all excited for the results, so... without further ado... ... ...ah yes. Here they are. Well, let's start with the Queen. Of Hearts. Won by Imada Saneatsu for 15 coins! Similarly, the 7 of Diamonds was also won by Imada Saneatsu for 15 coins! The 7 of Spades, however, was taken by deendir for a nice 16. Not wanting to be sold short, Imada follows up with 20 on the 3 of Clubs, then does the same for the 5 of Clubs! But he doesn't seem able to stop deendir from taking the 8 of Diamonds for a grand 35 coins! ...oh yes, I almost forgot. And Avalon pays the inactive darinas3 50 coins for the Ace of Spades. We've taken 15 coins as tax, of course..." As each card's winner is read out, Alydar hands that player their card, and the number of coins is subtracted from their balances. Afterward, the leaderboard flashes onto the screen: Round 8 Resultsreynardfox: 13 cards, 141 coins = 84 points deendir: 11 cards, 65 coins = 72 points Imada Saneatsu: 14 cards, 45 coins = 67 points darinas3: 3 cards, 236 coins = 24 points Avalon: 6 cards, 183 coins = 18 points Incognito: 4 cards, WITHDRAWNAlydar speaks once more. "We're almost done, but, aha, there are a few cards you missed. As none of you discarded during this turn, these are your final chances to win points! Here they are!" With that, the screen abruptly changes to the next lots, and a timer starts ticking down... You all have 48 hours to make your bid. The round ends at 8:00 am GMT on Wednesday, April 29th, 2015.

Oh, right. I should note that there's no inactivity penalty this round. Because it's the final round and whatnot. I'll still remind you at the halfway mark, but no penalties. Consider it a gift.

A phone goes off once more, this time from Alydar's pocket. He picks it up and looks at it in amusement as the TV behind him flickers on again, and Alydar's face appears: "Ahahahahahaha!!! This farce is over, as is your waiting! Attendant, if you will? Ahahaha..." At that, the man in Alydar's mask puts away his phone and reaches up to take off the mask, revealing... a simple attendant's mask beneath it. He gives a bow before gathering up the cards before him and walking away toward the door: "Please, this way, follow me." Alydar speaks up: "Ahaha, yes, yes, follow him, and meet me in the central hall for the full results!" With that, the TV flickers off for the last time, and you all follow the Attendant to the central hall...
