 Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2005 3:18 am Post subject: Good vs Evil vs Money! Auction house. Closed for summer. |
 |

What's all this about then?
This thread is the bidding thread for the Storygame of the same name (Good vs Evil vs Money) that can be found in the FANTASY section. I started it because I am very poor and need more Fables to buy food for the starving children that Key turns out onto the streets. Ahem.
If you don't know about FABLES then I suggest you read the money thread at the top of this forum.
Here you can bid to be a character (or a thing even) in the game, or you can bid for SOMEONE ELSE to be a character or thing in the game.
If someone else bids to be someone/thing, you can bid higher to change his/her specification.
Private bids (a PM to me) will be considered, but I would prefer them to be in this thread.
Finally, any bids on anything else (plot twists etc) will also be considered. I reserve the right to refuse ideas or change anything I like without notice. 
Any characters that win a bid will be inserted (sometimes painfully) into the story at the earliest opportunity. However, on occasion this may take a little while if a suitable plot entrance point doesn't become available.
Thank you for listening. 
Chinaren. Chairman and President of Chinaren Enterprises. Fleecing the poor to give to me.
-- (Old initial message...) --
Okay, Rooollll up Roll up.. Come to the Grande Character Auction ladies and gentlethings.. Today on the podium we have...
A HERO. Yes sir (or madam) a genuuuiiinee Hero (male or female) race of your choice! Who will start the bidding? Do I hear a bid of 2 fables? 2 Fables, 2 Fables, speak up now....
*and I have NO idea what it will be about yet, but details details..

I just realised that every post earns 10 fables, so by bidding you actually make a profit (upt to 10 anyway).
3 Fables to Duke Reg sat in the front there. Any advance on 3 fables? Do I hear 5 fables?

I'll give you a hundred Fables if you make me the tasteful comic relief or lovable-oaf sidekick! (But only if you promise to do it properly.) 
Edit: Oh, and anyone with that amount of money to waste has to be a Duke in the story as well. Please? Perty pleeze?

That strikes me as a good deal!
I don't think I can stoop to 'tasteful', but I can do lovable Oaf alright! And a Duke to boot.
Sidekick character:
Sold to m'lord Duke sat in the big chair at the front! Congratulations m'lord Duke. Character will be delivered upon payment! 
Still available:
Evil, evil villain (this gotta be big bucks!)
Hero (currently under the hammer)
Other suggestions entertained.

Fear not Duke, I have a small piece of paper here with a scribbled note that I have put... er where did I put that thing?
Now then. I see no reason why I can't open bids for the villain now.
Do I hear an opening bid for the Villain character?
For the Hero character...
The bidding stands at 15F to EvilHomer. Going once....

15 F is too much for me. 
Maybe I'll bid for the evil guy later.

A rich man like you Smee? Over a 1000F in the bank and all.
Phang, I hear you. How much is your opening bid?
For the hero! The bid is 15Fables, going twice...

Wooohoo! 20 is bid by the richly clad Mr.Smee.
Do I hear 30? 30 Fables for this handsome (or not, your choice) Hero?
30 Fables! A bargain!
For the Villain, The demon in the corner has bid, but I am not sure how much yet!

Mr.Smee has bid 40Fables for the Hero! (Though as the richest person in IF, perhaps we should call him Smee Gates )
40F has been bid. Do I hear 50? 50 50 50 50 50 50Fables?doIhear50Fablesforthehero?50Fables going once...
Still only 1Fables bid for the villain? Do I hear 5Fables for this monsterous creature?

If Phang wins with 1 Fable, I'll give you another 10 to make him a real miserly skinflint throughout the story.
