It's alright, I'm in no rush to get this finished.
What do you (or anyone else) think of the idea of changing the two auction types
to say, Official and Unofficial Auctions?
Official Auctions would be those defined by rules and contracts, whereas
Unofficial Auctions could be started by players any time, but could only
auction off assets.

Thanks for this, Aris. Comments on your comments below.
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, and thank you for looking at
my comments.
If the contract that made one of its parties an Auctioneer of an
auction does not permit that player to specify certain parts of an
auction
by eir own free will, and instead as described by the auction, e SHALL
NOT
specify those parts otherwise.
What does this mean?
basically "if a contract says that these things have to be this way for this
auction, you can't just make them different when you announce the auction"
I really don't like this sentence though, it's a super messy way of doing
it.
How is "A contractual auction can only be initiated as described by
the contract that permitted it", or something more in that style? You
could make it apply to rules too, actually.
# Bidding
Once an auction is initiated, any player CAN bid on the auction.
CAN by announcement. Also, how?
What do you mean by how? By announcement kind of answers that question.
"I bid on this auction" doesn't really do much good. You want
something like "by an announcement specifying the amount e bids". You
might want to consider making this a notice, like a ballot or notice
of honor.
This section is confusing and over-complicated. Why not just CAN?
Haven't you already said that no bids can be placed after the end of
an auction?
I agree. It is confusing, and probably over-complicated too. What do you
mean by "Why not just CAN"? Do you mean get rid of the "without 2
objections"?
That was mainly put in there so the Auctioneer had a chance to get the items
before the auction just ended on em. It might not be necessary though.
Yeah, that was what I meant. If it's just to add a delay, with notice
would be better.
