Aurelie, Kate<br/><br/>In the normal world I would agree with you but this is a thread driven story base, thus the writers of the 'slaves' should have control over whom they wish to be sold too. The slaves themselves would not have any control and actions that occur need to be tweaked via PM at times.. or here in OOC...<br/><br/>It is far to easy in fantasy for one person to out bid another *smiles* I would also suggest that perhaps a limit of the initial number of slaves a owner can have and the funds they have to buy... thus if a person really wants a slave and say they have $1,000,000 and a bidding war starts for slave #2 the Nubian.. if a person wants more then one slave or a specific one they are limited on how much they have to spend..<br/><br/>We can also use the 'roll' option if two buyers are trying for the same slave and the writer of the slave does not care who she is sold to... *shrugs* another issue to deal with is should a 'owner' all of a sudden drop out of site for say a week or two... what happens to the person who is waiting for him or her to respond? I'd say the 'owner' defaulted on there purchase and the slave is put up and sold again.. for slightly less as she or he is used *winks*<br/><br/>anyway.. just some random thoughts and in the end.. we need to see what ivygrowth's ideas are on this.. this is HER group setting and in the end she is the one who will tell us how sales etc.. are to be handled..<br/><br/>*bows* to the lady...<br/><br/>Rog the Rake
