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! |
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. |
Quote:
Wow. And Butter is already in 1st place. |
Last call for Connecticut
|
wade moore grabs Connecticut as his 4th state for an $8 bid.
New York is next on the block. |
TazFTW pounces on New York with a quick-draw $30 bid for his final state.
Utah is now on the block. |
Yay.
|

Ugh, I was hoping I got my bid in before him. |
Last call for OOOtah.
|
If Utah goes cheap, I think it can be an absolute steal if someone plays the right choices.
|
Team Sachmo snags Utah as their final state, with the first (of three!) $11 bids.
Wisconsin is now up for bid. |
Sweet!
|
whoo! ace in the hole, baby! :)

I believe all states can score at least 17. |
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. |
Um, speaking of steals...$2 for Wisconsin? Wow.
|
Man, I thought I'd be trying to dodge Nebraska and North Dakota.
|
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 ;) |
Last call for Washington
|
Washington goes to Anxiety for a $12 bid.
Wyoming is now on the block. |
Whoohoo!

Last call for Wyoming

Bump? Hello?
|
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. |
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. |
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.
|
ugh.

North Carolina is up for bid. Three states to go! |
Quote:
Perfect :) |
Quote:
Wow. I bid within the hour too. Oh well. |
As one of the last guys left, I don't mind. Thanks Radii!
-Anxiety |
Crap.
|
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. |
For Butter of 69:
Wisconsin 1. Dairy [AR] 2. NFL Packers [SA] 3. Door County [NB] 4. BlackHawk War [HC] |
For TazFTW:
Maryland Antietam [HC] blue crab [AR] National Anthem [HC] Camden Yards [SA] |
Just wanted to share real quick:
I went for Indiana figuring that radii would snatch up NC... Ugh! |
Yeah, Radii getting stuck with North Dakota was clearly pivotal for the whole final end-game bidding.
|
Colorado
Rocky Mountains [NB] Garden of the Gods [NB] Gold Rush [HC] Snow Skiing [SA] -1 on AR (mining seems to be down in Colorado these days...) |
Tough one.
Vermont: (AR) Maple syrup (HC) Ethan Allen (SA) Eastern skiing (NB) Green Mountain |
Quote:
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. |
Quote:
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. |
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.
