Reward/Immunity Challenge #9
"Survivor Auction"
Before this challenge, you were each given $500. Money cannot be shared.
You'll be using this money to bid on items. All items are going to be an Ethiopian "decoration" that could contain a prize within. The auction will end without any warning. Increments are in $20. If two people bid the same amount, first one to bid will earn it, so there are no bags of rock like on the show.
This challenge will take place on AIM, Wednesday, at 10:15pm. I finish job at 10pm, so when I'm done, I'm rushing back home to host the challenge, so be patient by a few minutes if needed. If you can't attend, that sucks, but this game needs to keep its pace.
However, there is a way you could *possibly* earn a prize without being there, here's the way :
PENALTY : If somebody else bid the same amount as you, then you are not getting the bid, unless that other person has a penalty too!
Getting a penalty are : Brendan, for Day 23-24 & Cassandra, for Day 23.

However, there is a way you could *possibly* earn a prize without being there, here's the way :
If you think you won't make it, you can PM me, sending your "pre-bids" on numbered items. For example, "I bid 500$ on item #999."
You don't know how many items there will be, so if you bid on Item 999 and there are 998 items, then obviously you're not getting anything.
If you bid more money than you have in your wallet, it will be considered as "all-in".
You may even say something like "increase by 20$, max 120$, on item #2" - anything that explains CLEARLY your intentions.
During the live auction, the pre-sent bids will only be called in last, when no one is calling bids anymore, and the current bid is not equal (unless they have a penalty and you don't) or higher than your bid. Somebody may also outbid you, since it's considered a new bid.
