Pursuant to Rule 2642, I initiate a stone auction with the following
lots: [Protection Stone], [Sabotage Stone], [Wealth Stone].
Warning: I intend to auction the Soul Stone next month (not a pledge).
The method to be used for this auction is a Selective-bid Auction,
defined jointly by regulations AM5 and AM0, reproduced below. In case of
contradiction between either the latest published ACORN or the platonic
set of auction regulations and the below text, the below text shall
control.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regulation AM0/0
Generalized Auction
Generalized auctions exist to give context to the form of other
types of auctions. They cannot be held directly. Other auction
methods that use this type of auction as a starting point can
override attributes of generalized auctions except when it is
explicitly stated that that attribute is not able to be
overridden.
1. INITIATION:
* The auctioneer CAN begin an auction that e is authorized to
by creating a public message (henceforth the "initiation
message"), specifying the type of auction method that will
be held, a list of lots that will be auctioned off, and the
currency that the auction uses. Bidding is initally open.
* Derivative auction methods cannot specify the exclusion of
any information listed above from the initiation message of
auctions using that method.
2. BIDDING:
* Players CAN place a bid on an open auction by creating a
public message (henceforth a "bid message") specifying a
number of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the
bid of another player.
* Players CAN withdraw from an open auction by announcement.
3. TERMINATION:
* Bidding is closed four days after either the beginning of
the auction or after the most recent bid was placed,
whichever is later. The auction ends at this time as well.
4. AWARDING:
* For each auction, there are a number of awardees equal to
the number of lots. The Nth lot of an auction goes to the
Nth awardee of that auction. If the identity of an awardee
is undecidable, then that lot cannot be given away.
* Auction methods specify how awardees are picked for auctions
using that method.
* Derivative auction methods should ensure that only players
who have at least as much of that auction's currency as eir
highest bid on that auction (hereafter "funded players") can
be selected as awardees for auctions using that auction
method.
* The auctioneer of an auction SHALL within, four days after
the ending of that auction, create a public message
(henceforth the "termination message") that contains a full
history of bids on the auction and withdrawals from the
auction. It should also clearly indicate each awardee and
the lot e recieves.
5. CLAIMING:
* For a period of seven days after an auction ends, each
awardee of that auction CAN transfer (or create in eir own
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated
with the lot e won by paying a fee corresponding to eir
winning bid.

Regulation AM5/0
Selective-bid Auctions
Selective-bit auctions function like generalized auctions except:
* Bidding messages on a selective-bid auction must also specify a
lot that is preferred.
* The Nth awardee of a selective-bid auction is the highest bid
from a funded, non-withdrawn player whose preferred bid is that
lot.
