Right! so what has happened here then ? Someone is gonna have to fill me in on the rules via pm I think.
Don't worry about wasting our time, Anto. We've signed up for a fantasy football game on an internet forum. I'd say we all have enough time here. And I don't think the game was moving too slowly either.

I think we need to be careful about the times people are putting down. I know for a fact there are some incorrect times there (there are players who are time stamped for bids a lot earlier than when they were made).
True, it was going along smoothly.I have to say anto, in 5 minutes you made a colossal mess of everything.

I think we should all start making bids out of our budget, I'll go on and bid 500m for Messi.
You don't seem to have any issues with taking fines, right?Then you will get him, won't be able to pay him and in 24 hours the bidding on Messi restarts and your budget is down to 270M.
Clever.
It's a fair point. I just spent the last couple of days reading people talking about how someone "could show up with five minutes to go". I think that would be a cnut thing to do, you could even get some player by attrition by boring the feck out of the other interested party sitting around 24 hours a pop...
All I've done is give all those managers advance warning that there's no chance I would let them have those players at those prices in 24 hours and I would take them instead at the prices I stated. Some will raise, hopefully some won't either and then I can move on to defenders.
I get what you were doing but there was no need for you to do it all on your own. Other managers would have taken care of it. Most of those players would have been raised by others and it would have allowed for a more natural free market. What you did might have made a bit more sense if we were just minutes before the deadline and all those players were still at those prices (which would have never happened). I guess it's advantageous if you want play spoiler and artificially raise the prices.
Three possibilities.
One, it's not a smart move from Antohan if we wait till he goes bankrupt 24 hours later, and pick off his discarded players on the cheap.
Two, people might outbid him to safety if they panic now, which would inflate all prices in the market. Which means they'll be outta money by the time the next round of players come in, which is probably what Antohan wants. Keep the ones he has not been robbed of, and get the rest on the cheap, because not many will be in a position to afford a bidding war then. So he can walk away with O'henry for 25m, probably.
Three - there is a chance I might have benefited if I had kept these thoughts to myself and waited with an unchanged big purse for the next set of players, but that might ruin the entire game by fecking the balance of most of the other teams.
Bottom line: Don't do this to us, @antohan.
You raised Figo's price by 3m, how is 67m a bargain ffs
Ok so if this allowed, the rest of us should not bid on anyone antohan has bid on, let them come back into auction later and get them for lower prices.
Let him try to pay for all of them.
Not make a point but why should we bid now at a higher price when we can get the same player later at a lower price?As I said earlier, yes, you could all sit around wait 24 hours and see me get a fine, then the ones I can't complete the transaction on come back to the market. Feel free to do it for kicks and effectively waste us all 24 hours to "make a point".
You making a big deal of nothing Aldo. Those bids are all within the realms of value, so much so my Seedorf one had been beaten by a full 5M before I even posted that!
Does he loose all players, or just the ones he can't afford? Is he fined 30m for each player he can't afford? Because he could loose all his money, depending on it.Ok so if this allowed, the rest of us should not bid on anyone antohan has bid on, let them come back into auction later and get them for lower prices.

sounds to me like he will be fined 30m for each player, not once for all.Bids cannot be withdrawn and managers who fail to go through with a winning bid will be fined 30 m
I think it is for all the failed bids.Does he loose all players, or just the ones he can't afford? Is he fined 30m for each player he can't afford? Because he could loose all his money, depending on it.

He bid for 10 players, so if we go through it step by step, he wouldn't be able to afford the last one, fine 30m, 270 left, then he wouldn't be able the one before the last one, fine 30m, 240 left. Pretty sure he ends up with zero then, which basically shows, that it shouldn't be allowed in the first place.

Could someone do tha for me this time, I'm on my phone.
Stop trying to read an inflationary agenda, everyone sane around here would agree not a single one of those players would have gone for the price they were quoted at. Figo and Ronnie are the only ones that could realistically come through, and I'd take that!
BTW, people on their phones ahve had major issues so we suggested you just send the changes and someone on a PC makes the updates for you.
