As you enter the room, an attendant beckons you over to the far wall, where a semicircular poker table has been set up against a large TV monitor set in the wall. The attendant stands against the wall as well, and he bids each of you choose a set around the semicircle. After you have seated yourselves, he hands each of you a small tablet, the display of which says "250 coins." Below the amount are seven tabs. The far-left tab has been grayed out, but it reads "Discard." The others have the numbers 1-6, respectively. Once that is done, you all wait for a moment, until...
The huge monitor on the wall crackles to life to display Alydar's face (well, mask): "Ahahaha, settled in have you? Good, good, aha, no time like the present, right? You all have gotten our presents, right? Well, you're in mine, so you must have! Ahahahahahahaha!!!" After a moment of your bewildered silence, Alydar shakes his head and continues on. "Right, you're here for a game, aren't you? Cards, cards, I know I have them somewhere..." Alydar reaches offscreen and returns with a button. With a flourish, he presses the button as if it were a TV remote, and the screen promptly changes.
"Aha! It actually worked! *ahem* In front of you, these six cards here, are the lots for the first round! Aha, attendant?" The attendant begins to open what had not been in his hand even moments earlier, what appears to be a booster pack of cards: a small pack, sealed in foil, with the number 1 across it. The attendant breaks the seal and deals out the cards. They match what is shown on the screen.
"There you have it! The first round! Do you want a card? Two? All? Ahaha, it all depends on how much you're willing to pay! ...and how much others aren't, ahaha... Use that fancy technology doohicky and bid! If you've got any questions... well someone should know the answer, right?"
You look once more up at the screen, trying to decide for which ones you'll bid, and how much...
The round begins, and a countdown starts ticking down. You all have 48 hours to make your bid. The round ends at 2:00 am GMT on Tuesday, April 7th, 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...
As always, I'm here to help clarify the rules, and, as always, good luck!
