Woooo! I like this!
Chamber pot or not chamber pot, that is the question...
Phang, for your bid I think you need to seperate them, as other people can't bid on 4 things at once. However for these two...
That Smee is a monkey. - Sorry, I have already chosen what Smee is to be (though maybe later on)
That somebody is called Vion (hey it's a cool name). It is cool, but I am using People of IF to populate this. Well, if I get a chance.

Not really, I'm waiting to see if your bid on me is going to be accepted or not. And you may have to pay 100 fables for each item! So pick!
I stay by my bid if Phang's is not accepted or if she stops bidding on me!

No, I'm now just going with Project De-Nuisance (woohoo! My own Secret Project  ), namely the insurance that, should IM become an evil minion, at least he is a decent one, though not n00bish (I'm not sure Chinaren would allow it without decent payment, anyway).
So, IM, have you decided yet? I'll throw in Lashane too.

Of course he will be a "good" evil minion! What sort of person do you take me for*?
Phang's Evil Minion bid is 34Fables to IM (though these names are hard to fit into the story! You make me work for my Fables you lot!) going once...
150Fables I am bid by Smee for Key to be a sentient magical chamber pot, (I like this idea!) going once...
*Don't answer that!

Put it to 35, I don't want to only have one fable.
And let it stay there. Permantly, please. Just...don't kill me too early.

240 fables.
The Mayoral Dignity Fund is now accepting donations. Please contribute whatever fables you can to the cause of the non-chamber pot and help me preserve the dignity of this esteemed office...
..or at least, help make Smee pay through the nose 
I promise that if I lose this auction I will return all donated fables.

Err... guys?
I think we're all missing the point here. If Chinaren's going to make so much money out of this, shouldn't he be the one who has to work for it?
I bid 300 for Key to be a dignified magical item... that falls into as many undignified situations as Chinaren has the ingenuity to think up

oooh - good idea.
I could compromise and accept that.

Ooh SS, you spoilsport! Well, sort of. I'm confused!  I must admit, I have been having some good ideas about the chamber pot thing! Ahh well, this one would probably be better in the long term, though I was rather looking forward to making a dent in Smee Gates's fortune!
Dignified Item that gets into un-dignified situations bid 300 going once...

One more reply to go, then I'll know I came up with a compromise that's made EVERYONE unhappy!

302 fables to be either:
1) a highly dignified kingly sceptre of great power, which may fall into undignified situations
or
2) a chamber pot (not with cherries or brown stains) which is treated only with the highest dignity.
Chinaren's choice.

67 for being a random person who serves as a minion to the first side that meets him.
Can't get much better at a compromise than that.

Well, I guess it's one of life's lessons - you can't always choose what happens to you, but you can always choose to act with dignity.

When you put it like that it does seem a little, er, strange! But also amusing, in any number of ways as well of course.
