My understanding is that it reproduces an issue with the old auction
rules where it ends the minute it begins.

That's embarrassing.


I don't get it. What's wrong here?

Could you resend this in the more standard format just to avoid
unnecessary paperwork? I'll process it either way, but it'd just be nice
for us all.

Probably want to wait until they pay before giving them the award.

This should probably be "by announcement" or have some other requirement
for it to be done publicly.

You don't need to enable the creation of a public message.

DIS: [Treasuror] Draft Forward Auction Regulation(s)

2020-06-22 Thread Reuben Staley via agora-discussion
As Treasuror it is my job to promulguate regulations for different kinds 
of auctions. Here is my implementation of a Forward Auction. Tell me 
what you think.


1. INITIATION:
   * The auctioneer CAN begin a forward auction by creating a public
 message specifying a list of lots to be auctioned off and one
 currency, and the fact that this auction will be a Forward
 Auction. The Forward Auction is initially open.
2. BIDDING:
   * Players CAN place a bid on an open Forward Auction by specifying an
 amount of the auction's currency as eir bid not equal to the bid of
 another player.
   * Players CAN withdraw from an auction by announcement.
3. TERMINATION:
   * If there have been no bids placed on a Forward Auction for four
 days, then that Forward Auction ends and becomes closed.
   * There are a number of awardees equal to the number of lots. The
 first lot of an auction goes to the first awardee, the second lot
 to the second awardee, etc.
   * The Nth awardee is the non-withdrawn player whose most recent bid
 is the Nth greatest.
   * The auctioneer of a Forward Auction CAN and SHALL in a timely
 fashion after the ending of that Forward Auction create a public
 message that contains a full history of bids on the auction and
 withdrawals from the auction. In the same message, e CAN and SHALL
 transfer each awardee eir lots/create the lots in their possession.
