...hmm? What's that, doctor?

"Nice going?" What do you mean, 'nice going'? Was that sarcasm? it sounded genuine, but...

...oh no.

Oh, no, I've said too much. I was trying to avoid being too subtle for him, but that speech on people being dumb, panicky animals was too overt.

Heinz Doofenschmirtz figured out everything that happened here today! Abort! ABORT! ABORT!

~~(in reality, we're just idiots)~~

I don't know about the rest of it but this is so good.

We have 17 points not 19.
 
Considering there are people who haven't won anything at all yet, I'm not sure 10 would be a safe bet on the Talisman. Horvath is pretty clearly here for the Merlinian Encantus, and Pandarus doesn't seem like the sort of guy to bet on the Manual compared to the Talisman. The Manual just seems like a much safer second pick up here, if we want one at all. Focusing on one would be the far safer play.
Something we only have to do because you insisted we get the scrolls...Sorry, sorry, old grudges die hard.
 
[X] Plan Secure the Book!

Lots of people haven't spent money yet. I want to make sure we win a big ticket item, and the Merlin Encantus is the most useful for getting our team quickly up to speed magic wise.

Assuming Xanatos is operating on the same budget as us
30-2(Jay Leno)-(5)Mad Mojo Cookbook-4(Wailing Star)-5(Sword of Enlightenment)=13

He might only have the funds on hand for 1 object i.e. the talisman. With that in mind...

Let me represent a 2-bid plan since the Merlinian Encantus has enough support already.

[X] Plan Bad Books, Bad People

I'd prefer a 7/10 split but voting momentum is more important than that, so.

I'm fine with just getting the Encantus so I don't share your anger here at all, frankly.

Remember that time Janna looked us in the eye on that Toffee deal and said,

"Don't."


This is Russ's Don't. It's less obvious (lack of red text), and less categorically catastrophic if we don't listen to him, obviously - I doubt it's even going to drop his loyalty if we don't try and pick this up - but it is the same, nevertheless. This is somebody who knows more than us on a certain issue breaking, momentarily, out of character, in order to let us know that things are different than we think they are.

Russ is a man whose Loyalty we've fought hard to earn, and he's repaid that effort by telling us something he wouldn't have otherwise. Something important.

I say we listen to him.

@woweed, there's no way we're getting the Merlinian Encantus for the minimum bid. Horgath desperately wants it and hasn't bought anything else all night.
 
People...

There is no way a two item vote will get both items.

The low item will be a guaranteed loss and the higher item will be risky because it might still be to low.

Your best bet is to pick the plan that goes all in for the item you want the most.

Yeah, we've been told that Horvath comes from old money, and he is clearly angling for the book. Not exactly eager to go against him in bids.

Best to follow Russ's recommendation.
 
Ya we shouldn't assume what other people can afford when we barely know anything about their finances. And Xanatos will have certainly brought more money than us.

I AM NOT PREPARED TO MAKE DIFFICULT CHOICES! And, more importantly, putting all 17 on one item just seems to be a waste. Sure, the items have intrest, but I doubt anyone's gonna bet base+3.

As fun as forging the Devils signature would be, part of me feels like getting more of the zodiac set would be better.
