actually, one more...

will the scores be shown by category, or just as a total for the state?

wade moore · 03-09-2006, 02:02 PM

Side Note:

Quote:

• IMPORTANT: A player is not required to use every category, but a one-point value penalty is subtracted for each of the categories that a player ignores. Players must use the two-letter abbreviation to identify which category the slot is targeting.

Depending on how generous the judges are with points, I could see this not being a big enough penalty...

Both

WSUCougar · 03-09-2006, 03:25 PM

Alright, folks, here is the first state to bid on. Remember to send your bids to me via PM and not post them here.

Massachusetts

Radii · 03-09-2006, 03:34 PM

sent! Also, add Oliegirl to my team please, if I'm unavaiable she can bid for me.

TazFTW · 03-09-2006, 03:44 PM

Bid sent.

WSUCougar · 03-10-2006, 07:56 AM

Okay, gstelmack gets out of the gate fast and nabs Massachusetts with a robust $35 bid. Reminder: No need to choose your value words for judging until everyone has their first state.

Next state on the block: Oregon

Butter · 03-10-2006, 08:13 AM

Sent. But if it's all the same to you, I probably won't respond with "sent" any more unless you want me to. I don't want to clutter the thread.

Yeah, it's not necessary. Thanks.

Radii · 03-10-2006, 08:34 AM

wow, $35.

Just try not to slobber too much when the Old Dominion pops up for bid.

Abe Sargent · 03-10-2006, 03:11 PM

I need a ruling - can multiple state owners claim the same thing?

Huh? Do you mean can you use the same words for multiple states?

KWhit · 03-10-2006, 03:17 PM

I'd give 7 cents for Oregon if I were playing.

If said thing applies to both states, yes. If you need to be specific with your question, PM me.

Desnudo · 03-10-2006, 03:20 PM

Surely if Mass. is worth $35, Oregon is worth more than $.07.

WSUCougar · 03-10-2006, 03:21 PM

Oregon is getting a bad rap. But then, I'm from the Pacific Northwest.

Desnudo · 03-10-2006, 03:31 PM

WSUCougar · 03-10-2006, 08:42 PM

Oregon bid bump

sachmo71 · 03-11-2006, 12:30 AM

Well, I gave Jeebs most of the day, so I'll send ours in on my own.

JeeberD · 03-11-2006, 02:27 PM

Sorry, Sach. I was busy all day yesterday...

WSUCougar · 03-13-2006, 07:48 AM

Last call for Oregon before we move on.

WSUCougar · 03-13-2006, 10:38 AM

TazFTW takes Oregon for a $17 bid.

Next state on the block: Texas

This should prove interesting...

Huckleberry · 03-13-2006, 10:58 AM

I bid 17 bazillion dollars on Texas.

WSUCougar · 03-13-2006, 07:06 PM

Texas-sized bump

WSUCougar · 03-14-2006, 07:58 AM

WSUCougar · 03-14-2006, 10:48 AM

gstelmack adds Rhode Island for $10, grabbing his second New England state.

South Carolina is now on the block.

WSUCougar · 03-16-2006, 06:31 AM

Last call for South Carolina

WSUCougar · 03-16-2006, 10:36 AM

The sachmo71/JeeberD team acquired South Carolina for a $28 bid.

Delaware is next up on the block.
