Regarding the Festival Auction
Posted: Fri Jul 16, 2021 12:33 pm
Hello and good day,
I’m writing this post to address the recent frustration with the auction ending early. The original date that was set at the festival was suppose to be the end of June, however, when I made the sign for the auction I put July instead. When this came to my attention sometime later, maybe two weeks, I figured enough people had read the sign and expected the auction to run until the end of July, which is what I told players over question. To prevent any sort of conflict of interest, the auction was monitored by Jirato and Noctere in case the other members of the team wanted to participate. None of us saw the bids as they came in. So naturally it was under their control. However, they had been under the impression that the auction had ended last month along with the festival, and began to declare winners. As the items had already been sent out, This was primarly my fault for not making it known that this was the fact. Jirato and Noctere are often busy doing their own work, and I might've said something about it in our personal chats, but I never made a post about it here on the BBS for them to take notice of. We understood how unfair it might be to those who did win based on the time given, but also how it was unfair to those who had yet to place their bids. For this I do want to apologize. We will do better next time. That being said, the auction has ended, and the items that were bid on have been claimed.
