The Legendary Auction game

Gaffer said:
Lol what're you lot talking about? Over complicating things.

You've been given a budget. If you have little left due to making stupid bids with a small squad, that's your fault. You should install a rule stating players can sell players back to you for half the price they bought them for. Then all those players are relisted. For example is some idiot spent 100m on Messi, a 5th of their budget, they can sell him back to you for 50m. If people don't buy enough players just fill their team with players that have 120CA or something. Their own stupidity.

Yeah but Gaffer it actually works really well and makes the game more interesting.

To try to sum it up what i'm proposing in as few words as possible.

1. Base trade value: If you want to buy an (already) auctioned player you must pay more than the auction value.

2. Re-Auction: Players put up for re-auction (coordinated with Legend) seller gets the profits of the auction.

And... this solves 2 huge problems, people who have screwed their budgets either on-sell or re-auction.

+ people can't do dodgy deals when trading player to player selling players for less than their fair value.

Your saying there should be a minimum bid and players should be able to trade. Lol, that's pretty standard for almost every other auction game.

No mate he is saying that when a player is re - auctioned the money that is made will be given to the seller and if you have to buy a player who has been auctioned by the seller you have to pay above the amount the seller bought him for
 
Yep you've got it legend, if you want to buy a player post-auction you have to pay more than the auction price otherwise things get dodgy.

Christ. How has this got so complicated now?

Because

1. player to player trading doesn't work fairly in a auction game. &

2. it solves the **** we're in currently with people overbidding and no money.


Besides you say this is complicated, we were already talking through shitloads of complicated and not really fair solutions to number 2.

1. How?

2. They got themselves into their own mess, why should we help them? Seriously. Complete their squads with CA120 players.

1. Hey Gaffer i'm offering you my whole team for 1 million. Special price just for you because you're awesome. Agreed?

2. I don't mind really i mean i didn't overbid, only thing is there will be about 3-5 complete dud teams in the league and you might aswell have not had them in the league at all. This will mean they can atleast compete.

And that will happen why? Why are you worried about that, everybody wants the best team they can get and I've not seen that happen before in an auction game.....


Edit. Gaffer, I'll trade you Buffon, Terry and Robben for Rafinha? (K) Plus 100 mil as your Awesome

You realize this is an exaggeration right? Ofcourse this won't happen but what's actually likely is say I offer Dzeko to someone for 40mill because i need the money when i bought him for 60mill.

When plenty of people would have bid or bought him for 50mil. This system fixes that because you could have re-auctioned and got that price and people won't be ****** you made such a cheap deal because it went to the highest bidder.


Ok i've really said enough, some people are getting ****** at me ect i've explained it all its really not that complicated if you don't understand something read through previous posts carefully.

I'm not fussed if you use the rules or not. We had a problem here's a solution that is all.

I'm not ****** at you mate, but other auction games follow much simpler rules and work. This just seems to be getting much more complex than it needs to.

I sold Cole to MadMan (sorry if its the wrong name!) for what I bought him for, which is fair enough as he was willing to pay it.


"say I offer Dzeko to someone for 40mill because i need the money when i bought him for 60mill."

You dont have to accept that bid though, just go through PM's lookin at who is offering what and accept the best deal??

In a seperate auction me and Aniel spent a good while with *offer* *counter offer* until we came to an agreement. We both posted it on the thread and we lived hapily ever after
