NO YOU CAN'T HAVE IT, IT'S MINE

All in on Cthulhu Saves the World & Breath of Death VII

AND OFF WITH THE PARAHEAD

Can you simmer down for like, two seconds agent?

I don't really care over losing the game; I just want my points back that he took off Abyssal Odyssey and then promptly forgot existed. :B

(and either case, I'll drop those points back onto Abyssal Odyssey.)

Well I am the heir to the shadow government, I can order these things >:0

Full 200 on Trine

@ Para:

SpoilerLooking at my standings, I'm seeing that you had 150 points at the start of round 8. You put all of those points on Strider, and won, leaving you with 50 points. Importantly, your points on Abyss Odyssey went to Strider, and I didn't record it because I messed up then taking into account your total points when you thew the bid (so they should have been taken away right away as opposed to in the last round). Round eight you won Strider, leaving you with only your new 50 points for round nine, and here we are now.

If I've made a mistake please correct me, and I'm really sorry that I didn't correct this misunderstanding (either way it goes) before the update. If you wouldn't have put only 50 into Lumino City given how competitive it became I'd be willing to give you your lost points for it back.

Anyways, onto current bid standings, sorry for the delay:

SpoilerThe exciting conclusion of DEMONSUL versus AGENTBLUE:

P41aM3eddDdeeEEess5: (Demon Soul - everything, Age End Blue - all)

ERROR, Can No Longer Handle Immense Bidding Power.

Palamedes Ownership At Limit. Integrity of Palamedes falling critically.

Palamedes has been broken into thousands of Pala Shards.

Moderator Destroyed.

Giveaway State No Longer Maintainable.

Destruction of Giveaway World Imminent*.

Demonsul and Agentblue hold control over the largest remaining fragments, but still more lie unclaimed and dormant, ready to provide enough giveaway energy to survive the coming end. Perhaps gathering them together will even reassemble the Palamedes and save us all.

When the giveaway ends, any who have claimed a Pala Shard are eligible for a BONUS PRIZE from the remaining titles (random raffle), assuming they survive the seething apocalypse coming long enough to activate them (are still active at the end of the giveaway enough to post their interest in said raffle).

*Destruction of Giveaway world occurs when all active participants have claimed their three titles, don't worry.
