Team Sachmo grabs their THIRD state already, taking Missouri with a $25 bid.

Next on the block is Maine.

Poli 03-28-2006 08:50 PM

AR 17 bucks.
MO 25 bucks.

Having lived in both states a majority of my life...I find this interesting.

WSUCougar 03-29-2006 08:39 AM

Just a bump, Maine-ly.

WSUCougar 03-30-2006 06:27 AM

Last call for Maine

WSUCougar 03-30-2006 08:48 AM

Masked takes Maine as his first state, bidding $16.

Louisiana is now on the block.

Once Butter grabs his first state round one will be over and we'll move to the first judging stage.

Butter 03-30-2006 08:59 AM

Don't rush me, man. I'm biding my time.

WSUCougar 03-30-2006 09:09 AM

:D

Take your time. The first round has played out a little differently than I expected but it's not an issue.

Did you think most teams would get 1 state before many had 2?

More or less. Plus some bidders have been low-balling, either as a strategy or just to get a feel for various state prices.

I'm actually surprised you didn't expect that.

I didn't expect that you'd be surprised I didn't expect that. And I'm surprised about that.

i'm confused, you win! ;).

WSUCougar 03-30-2006 02:26 PM

Louisiana bayou bump

WSUCougar 03-30-2006 03:55 PM

Team Radii takes Louisiana as their second state for a $25 bid.

Idaho is next up on the block.

FYI, I will be out of town from tomorrow through next Tuesday, so the game will be on hold until then.

Radii 03-30-2006 04:17 PM

I really wasn't sure about my Louisiana bid, but think I've got two solid states without having to go over $30 on anything yet, so I'm happy.

WSUCougar 04-05-2006 06:30 AM

Back in town.

Last call for Idaho

WSUCougar 04-05-2006 11:09 AM

TazFTW grabs Idaho as his third state with a $15 bid, and still has a big bankroll to fill out his team.

Mississippi is on the block.

Desnudo 04-05-2006 11:24 AM

The big question is: will this game wrap up before Puerto Rico joins as a 51st state?

Huckleberry 04-05-2006 11:26 AM

I bid $0.01 on Mississippi.

Huckleberry just doesn't have much left to spend since he shot his gajillion dollar wad on Texas.

I've been there. Spent some time there. Wasn't so bad. The problem is that I used my budget already.

WSUCougar 04-06-2006 10:25 AM

wade moore jumps all over Mississippi for $27.

Illinois is now up for bid.

WSUCougar 04-07-2006 11:32 AM

Last call for Illinois

WSUCougar 04-07-2006 02:31 PM

No, I mean the really last call for Illinois
(one more opportunity due to the board being down)

WSUCougar 04-08-2006 06:51 AM

path12 spends a big chunk of his cash ($36) on Illinois.

Virginia is now on the block.

WSUCougar 04-10-2006 07:48 AM

Bump for the Old Dominion

WSUCougar 04-10-2006 12:56 PM

Last call for Virginia.

path12 04-10-2006 03:39 PM

Out of curiousity, is there a list of how many states people have and how much money they have left?

WSUCougar 04-10-2006 04:11 PM

In a big surprise (wink wink), wade moore spends a $41 wad on Virginia.

Alabama is now up for bid.

fwiw, I think I've figured it out, and I don't know that I think it's the best plan ;)...

WSUCougar 04-11-2006 08:29 AM

Dude's camped on North Dakota

WSUCougar 04-11-2006 10:16 AM

gstelmack takes Alabama as his third state with a healthy $26 bid.

Montana is now on the block.

Roll Tide!

WSUCougar 04-12-2006 02:38 PM

Butter grabs a state!!! Montana goes for $15, and thus ends the first stage.

We now proceed to the first scoring stage. Post your state (for those of you with multiple states, pick one) and its value words according to the rules in Post #1 of the thread. Please do not edit your info once it is posted. If you have any questions, fire away.

Bucc and Wolfpack, you are on notice. :D

Abe Sargent 04-12-2006 02:58 PM

Arizona:

1. Grand Canyon (NB)
2. Oldwest: Tombstone (HC)
3. Hoover Dam (AR)
4. Kartchner Caverns (SA)



-Anxiety


P.S. - Should we provide links and whatnot as help?

Radii 04-12-2006 03:00 PM

I'll put mine out there first... this is hard.

Kentucky

1. Kentucky Derby [SA]
2. Kent State [HC]
3. Mammoth Cave [NB]
4. Lincoln Birthplace [HC]

I'm not using an Agriculture and Resource slot here.

Abe Sargent 04-12-2006 03:01 PM

I like Kentucky a lot (since I grew up 20 miles from the KY/WV border). I think you have some solid choices there.

I was thinking the same thing about Arizona. I was willing to bid more for it than pretty much any other state, and still fell a bit short :)

WSUCougar 04-12-2006 03:07 PM

Okay, thanks for getting the ball rolling, guys. Anxiety, in general we need to avoid descriptive paragraphs because the idea is to pack your value into one or two words and let the judges decide from there. You can make comments and defend your rationale (which I think is part of the fun) after the scoring is announced. Please edit your post down.

Abe Sargent 04-12-2006 03:08 PM

No links or yes links?
