This is a little complicated, and I've messed up much simpler auctions before, so sending out a draft first. If anyone spots an error or can reduce one of the uncertainties, please let me know.
Draft: ====== Due to at least two uncertainties, we may be in at least three possible states, covered by the three sections below. I apologize for the mess. I recommend waiting at least a couple of days for judgement of CFJ 3793 before attempting to claim any lots. I'm not sure whether attempts to conditionally claim lots will work. The two uncertainties are: * whether I initiated the zombie auction, and * whether Cuddle Beam bid in it. A further possible uncertainty is whether Gaelan submitted any bids. I think e did, and so will not further divide the possibilities based on that, but feel free to call a CFJ. Explanation: I think e did not meet Rule 478's standard of "...clearly specifying the action", since the precise values of eir bids depended on whether Cuddle Beam successfuly bid, and also on realizing that Jason had not successfully bid, which we only figured out later. The precedent in CFJ 1215, pointed out by Alexis last month, may be relevant. --- Section A: The February zombie auction may not exist: it is not clear whether Agora CAN transfer zombies, and if Agora cannot, then by the second-last paragraph of Rule 2549, I was unable to initiate it. The judgement of CFJ 3793 may address whether zombie auctions work. ---- Section B: Disclaimer: the information in this section may be incorrect. This section assumes Cuddle Beam did not bid in the auction. Gaelan called a CFJ about this on February 9: "CuddleBeam bid in an auction in the quoted message." The February zombie auction has ended. On 2020-02-06 at 18:23 UTC, I initiated a zombie auction. It ended 2020-02-13 at 18:23 UTC. Here are the lots, winners, and winning bids: Lot Winner Bid, in Coins --- ----- ------------- Trigon Jason 51 Nch Falsifian 11 Cuddle Beam (none) Walker (none) ATMunn (none) Here are the bids that were not withdrawn: Amount (Coins) Bidder Time (UTC) -------------- ------ ---------------- ----- 51 Jason 2020-02-11 00:34 11 Falsifian 2020-02-06 18:25 Here are the bids that were withdrawn: Amount (Coins) Bidder Time (UTC) Withdrawn -------------- ------ ---------------- ----- 12 Jason 2020-02-06 18:43 2020-02-11 00:34 Agora is the Auctioneer in this auction. Section C: Disclaimer: the information in this section may be incorrect. This section assumes Cuddle Beam did bid in the auction. The February zombie auction has ended. On 2020-02-06 at 18:23 UTC, I initiated a zombie auction. It ended 2020-02-13 at 18:23 UTC. Here are the lots, winners, and winning bids: Lot Winner Bid, in Coins --- ----- ------------- Trigon Jason 51 Nch Cuddle Beam 15 Cuddle Beam* Falsifian 11 Walker (none) ATMunn (none) Here are the bids that were not withdrawn: Amount (Coins) Bidder Time (UTC) -------------- ------ ---------------- ----- 51 Jason 2020-02-11 00:34 15 Cuddle Beam 2020-02-08 20:29 11 Falsifian 2020-02-06 18:25 Here are the bids that were withdrawn: Amount (Coins) Bidder Time (UTC) Withdrawn -------------- ------ ---------------- ----- 12 Jason 2020-02-06 18:43 2020-02-11 00:34 Agora is the Auctioneer in this auction. *Cuddle Beam's Master switch was flipped during auction. According to the last paragraph of Rule 1885, the winner of Cuddle Beam NEED NOT pair eir bid and will not receive Cuddle Beam. - Falsifian
