I actually messed up in one place: "certain" begins with an s sound so
shouldn't have been included. I'm glad you enjoyed it regardless though.

You made no pledge. The stamp value was not 1 at that time.

Now that bidding has calmed down a bit, which of the several things that are 
different is the one that motivated you to bid, if you did not bid previously? 
Are they things we can keep doing?

As things stand, I’ll happily put this text into the reports, as promised, but 
I agree with nichdel: absent some new rules, the text is just text, and would 
not bind me to do anything.

I did foresee this, and if there’s strong consensus that I’d have to break 
_some_ pledge to avoid penury and slavery, I’d rather break my pledge to 
include this in the reports.

I believe the first is correct, and both proposals I have in flight that affect 
the Estate Auctions rule correct it by making only monotonically increasing 
bids valid.

The second might take a CFJ to sort out. The use of the definite article there 
might mean that this only applies when there is exactly a single highest bidder 
- and that was my intention when writing it. However, it’s badly phrased, and I 
wouldn’t object strongly to a CFJ that found your interpretation to be correct.

FTR this would fail to have any effect. It's a variant of ISIDTID. Text
does not necessarily perform actions, especially when it's explicitly

Might as well:

I bid 50 Shinies.

My blurb is the following between the lines of asterisks:

**

Calgiostro is a giant internet café tended by busty anime catgirls in maid
costumes. Its internet never lags, you always get queued with amazing
teammates and when you play online cardgames you always topdeck the card
you need. Legend says this place has been blessed by RNGesus himself.

-I pay Cuddlebeam an amount of shinies equal to all of the current shinies
that I have.

-I pledge to transfer to Cuddlebeam any amount of shinies that I gain

-I pledge to always do what Cuddlebeam commands me to, if such a command
has been ordered via agora-discussion.

Since this is already irrelevant and I don't intend to continue to be
annoying about it I'll just mention my working theory:

1) A matched bid stops the highest bidder from being able to claim the
estate. This seems pretty certain from the wording in the rule: "[...]
if there is a single highest bid on that auction, the player or
Organization that placed that bid can cause Agora to transfer the
auctioned Estate to emself [...]" (R2491)

2) More interestingly, a matched bid may mean that both players receive
a Yellow Card, depending on interpretation of "If the highest bidder
does not do so in a timely fashion, the Surveyor shall issue the player
who submitted the bid a Yellow Card." (R2491)
