The Throne War:Auction

Ability Auction

Here's how this will work: I will say which ability is up for auction. Everyone will PM me their secret bids. You may bid 0, if you want; you are still Olympian at that level (see The class breakdown for what that means) and can bid later, before I call "Sold!". Once all the bids are in, I will announce the highest bid (though not who bid it) and ask if anyone wants to beat it. The bidding war begins. Any points you bid, you've spent; you can't take them back. When no one's bid for 24 hours or everyone declares they're done bidding, whoever placed the highest bid is now First Class in that ability. Whoever spent the next most points is now Second Class, and so on. At that point, it doesn't matter if First Class went for 15 points or 50, First Class is First Class. Also, it doesn't matter if the gap between two classes is a small point jump or a large one, the difference in ability is the same (the only point where it matters is in character advancement). If you never raised your bid above 0, you are considered Olympian Class; you can choose to "sell down" your ability to Heroic or even Mortal class at this point, but if you've bid even 1 point, you cannot sell down your ability. After the auction is over, you can also choose to raise up your ability to a higher class; you must spend the difference between your bid and the bid for the class you want. You will then be considered "Tied X class," which is slightly weaker than X class, but higher than the class below it.

We will go through each ability like that, one by one. Pay attention to the description of what each ability does and what the classes mean.
