I'm getting a kick out of the analogies though. One person compares it to a real life auction, another says it's not Monopoly. It's not like a real life auction because it's a game

if it's not real life and a game (and yes it is) what's your reason for such an anger. I am sure you will be succesfull in BB with that level of passion and agression no matter how many times you bid to the wrong guy. cheers.

It's not an ad hominem to post what I did. I'm just saying that an auction system that allows bid cancellations works for other games without screwing up the market. It's actually more of a fallacy to claim that such a system won't work here because it wouldn't necessarily be an accurate claim.

I have played sports sims that use the auction system and allowed cancellation of bids that involve human owners and they work just fine Kukoc. Also, rules here are different than in real life. Rules in real life are made for the safety and structure of society. The rules here are for a game that's not life or death. It's like comparing apples and oranges.

I didn't say I was angry Gates. I would be upset if I had paid for this game but since it's free the whole bid thing becomes more of an annoyance that affects the fun factor of playing more than anything.

It's all a moot point now since the player was placed on my team today. I might post something about a warning message for bids in the suggestion section if such an area exists.

There's a difference between real life and a game Kukoc. If you don't realize that then it could be a problem for you.

That's an ad hominem. Same concept rules here govern safety and structure of the game. Hardly apples and oranges.

Suggestion forum http://www.buzzerbeater.com/BBWeb/Forum/read.aspx?folder=3

and how they handle the cases like above?

Did they make dark auctions, where you bid secretly on players and in the end the one with the highest bid wins?

Did they avoid bidding wars in the end without delaying the deadline fpor some additional minutes(even there you could sheat with bids)?

Which maneging sims use that system?

Edit: A confirmation wasn't that bad, if you made it optinal, so that you could ecide in your profil if you like it.

I don't know how you define ad hominem Milestone but it's wrong. It's apples and oranges because the safety and structure of real life compared to a game are completely different. If you don't know the difference then you've got a serious problem.

The Suggestion has been posted, and this thread is probably now moot.
