(Player Event) Goblin Auction!

[Riyana]

((IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THIS AUCTION WORKS BEFORE YOU SIGN UP FOR IT! All items should be RP/novelty/silly items and not actual rares/valuables as they will NOT be secure. Items/lots should be creative interpretations/presentations of common items, NOT actual rares. Make sure you bring a variety of random stuff to bid with. Also, you MUST either reserve a spot in this thread or PM/ICQ me as we will only be running 20 sellers for this unique auction.))

After some serious wrangling and a hired interpreter, I was finally able to decipher the seemingly random ramblings of one Soozie Squidglet of Pitmuck.

Apparently goblins occasionally hold auctions. Who knew?

On Saturday, May 28th at 8PM ET Soozie will be hosting an auction. The exact location has yet to be determined, but I was able to gather the following details. Good luck.

RULES:

- The Goblin Auction will be held on Saturday, May 28th at 8PM ET.

- Soozie Squidglet will be running it.

- All items should be RP/novelty/silly items and not actual rares/valuables as they will NOT be secure. This is a SILLY RP EVENT!

- Sellers will present their own items! Tell auction-goers all about your item and why it is worth buying!

- Each seller may contribute only ONE item/lot.

- There is a maximum of 20 lots for the entire auction. (This, apparently, is as high as goblins can count.) Please respond to this thread to reserve an auction slot! You can include a brief description of your item, but please save the full description for the auction itself.

- This is a barter auction. Bidders will bid whatever they have on them to trade for whatever is up for auction, and the seller will choose his/her favorite bid to trade.

- Non-paying bidders and other undesirables will probably be peed on. Such is goblinkind.

How did the Goblin Auction go? Unfortunately, my weekends consist of three fourteen hr work days. Whiich doesn't leave much time for UO.
