I like the Tuskegee entry as well. I don’t know if we have ever given a 5 to a college program, so a 4 for the Tide is good enough. Carver does not rate a 5 . While we all know of his contributions to agriculture, he was one of many to have done so throughout American history. 4 is a good score. Ah, the Space Race entry. While there is no doubt of the importance of the Arsenal and Flight Center, not many would think of Huntsville as part of the "Space Race" – that goes to Florida and Texas. Something more specific like Flight Center or Rocket City would have gotten a 4.


Chopped down by a wording issue! Noooooooo! (hangs head).

Vermont gose to path12 for a $5 bid. Thought we might have our first goose egg state, but it rallied late.

And now comes California. Break out your wallets, folks!

WSUCougar 05-19-2006 12:29 PM

Given his available bankroll and Masked's lower bid, Butter_of_69 is able to take California for $31 unchecked.

Connecticut is now on the block.

Wow. And Butter is already in 1st place.

WSUCougar 05-22-2006 10:09 AM

Last call for Connecticut

WSUCougar 05-22-2006 03:42 PM

wade moore grabs Connecticut as his 4th state for an $8 bid.

New York is next on the block.

WSUCougar 05-22-2006 07:36 PM

TazFTW pounces on New York with a quick-draw $30 bid for his final state.

Utah is now on the block.

TazFTW 05-22-2006 07:43 PM

Yay.

Ugh, I was hoping I got my bid in before him.

WSUCougar 05-24-2006 10:39 AM

Last call for OOOtah.

Wolfpack 05-24-2006 11:34 AM

If Utah goes cheap, I think it can be an absolute steal if someone plays the right choices.

WSUCougar 05-24-2006 11:40 AM

Team Sachmo snags Utah as their final state, with the first (of three!) $11 bids.

Wisconsin is now up for bid.

JeeberD 05-24-2006 11:42 AM

Sweet!

sachmo71 05-24-2006 12:33 PM

whoo! ace in the hole, baby! :)

I believe all states can score at least 17.

WSUCougar 05-25-2006 08:21 PM

Butter_of_69 grabs Wisconsin as his final state, for $2.

Oklahoma is next on the block.

FYI, I will be out of town (no internet) from Saturday through Tuesday.

Wolfpack 05-25-2006 10:24 PM

Um, speaking of steals...$2 for Wisconsin? Wow.

Butter 05-26-2006 11:02 AM

Man, I thought I'd be trying to dodge Nebraska and North Dakota.

WSUCougar 05-26-2006 02:41 PM

Oklahoma becomes gstelmack's final state for a paltry $1 bid.

The great state of Washington is now on the block. Not that I'm biased or anything. :D

Weeee! Now I can beat butter's point-to-money ratio ;)

WSUCougar 06-01-2006 01:36 PM

Last call for Washington

WSUCougar 06-01-2006 08:35 PM

Washington goes to Anxiety for a $12 bid.

Wyoming is now on the block.

Abe Sargent 06-01-2006 11:09 PM

Whoohoo!

WSUCougar 06-02-2006 09:22 AM

Last call for Wyoming

path12 06-06-2006 12:04 AM

Bump? Hello?

WSUCougar 06-06-2006 09:09 AM

Sorry for the delay. I've been very sick the past few days.

With a $6 bid path12 takes Wyoming as his final state.

Indiana is now up for bid.

WSUCougar 06-07-2006 11:16 AM

wade moore jumps on the Hoosier State with his final $11 to fill out his five states.

North Dakota (where?) is now on the block.

wade moore 06-07-2006 11:17 AM

I'm interested to see if what I thought would happen will. If it doesn't, I'll be mad about this bid on Indiana.

Radii 06-07-2006 12:11 PM

ugh.

North Carolina is up for bid. Three states to go!

Wow. I bid within the hour too. Oh well.

Abe Sargent 06-08-2006 04:40 PM

As one of the last guys left, I don't mind. Thanks Radii!

wade moore 06-08-2006 05:00 PM

Crap.

WSUCougar 06-09-2006 06:38 AM

Flush with moulah, Masked takes North Carolina for $10 and that completes the Stage 4 bidding. We move on to the judging segment with only two states remaining for Stage 5.

Please post your 4th state values as soon as possible. I will be posting a couple by proxy that were PMd to me in advance.

wade moore 06-09-2006 07:01 AM

Just wanted to share real quick:

I went for Indiana figuring that radii would snatch up NC...

Ugh!

WSUCougar 06-09-2006 09:26 AM

Yeah, Radii getting stuck with North Dakota was clearly pivotal for the whole final end-game bidding.

gstelmack 06-09-2006 11:09 AM

Colorado

Rocky Mountains [NB]
Garden of the Gods [NB]
Gold Rush [HC]
Snow Skiing [SA]

my "ugh" post before the whole North Dakota thing was simply in realizing that Masked had enough money to push me off of North Carolina and into Nebraska or Alaksa if he wanted, that he could basically dictate which two states he got.

Given the length of time of most of the bidding, it didn't even cross my mind that the 3 of us would have all responded on North Dakota within the first hour after it was posted, and that mine would be the last one. Not much I can do about that though.

Oh yeah, forgot about Masked too... Yeah, I basically figured if I didn't grab Indiana (which was an "OK" state to me) I'd get stuck with a baaaaad state...

I'd love to talk about the strategies when this is all over ;).

and i'll hav emy entry up asap.

WSUCougar 06-09-2006 01:49 PM

FYI, I've acted "blindly" with regard to responses and postings when it comes to who is online when. The North Dakota response was all the more surprising to me because it was so rapid-fire.
