	I think you might be confusing Torkoal (which this event is based from) and Camerupt, evolution of Numel. Although Torkaol looks related to Numel/Camerupt, and comes right after them in the dex, Torkoal actually doesn't have any pre-evolutions or evolutions. ;) [Read more]

This has suggestion has popped up again in another thread so I thought I'd give this one a bump and add my own thoughts as well.

I regularly attend auctions in real life, I like getting something for a cheap price, then doing it up and selling it on for a profit. In a real life auction, at least every auction that I've ever been to, when there is a last second bid, the auctioneer will give the other bidders a chance to respond with a higher bid before finishing the lot. However, the auctioneer will only wait for a few seconds, they aren't going to wait around forever for you to make up your mind to bid or not. Also, the amount increased with each bid depends on the current bid. For example, if the current bid is $250, each following bid increase will usually be $5-$10. In this example the auctioneer would normally not accept $1 bid increases as it would go on for too long. If the lot was more expensive, the bid increases would be higher. Sometimes the bid gets too high and you have to drop out. That's life. You get over it and look for another auction to spend your money on.

So, with that said, here are my thoughts on the suggestion.

- 1 minute is too long. 10 seconds should be more than enough time for you to place a counter bid. No auctioneer in real life would wait an extra 2 minutes for a new bid.

- If this was implemented, once the extension starts there should be a minimum bid increase. That would stop people from simply bidding 1pd more each time it extends. If you don't have enough money to increase your bid by, too bad. It would be great if this could be coded so that the minimum depends on the current bid. For example, a pokemon with a current bid in the 100s would have a minimum increase of 10pd, a pokemon with a current bid in the 1000s would have a minimum increase of 100pd, and so on. You could, of course, still bid higher if you wanted to.

- If this was implemented in this way, I don't see that auctions would go on for much longer than a few minutes. As has been mentioned before, everyone has a limit and with the minimum bid increase, that limit would be reached fairly quickly.

- The only real downside to this that I can see is that sometimes someone with more money with you will get the pokemon you want. Well, sorry, but that's life. You just get over it and try bidding on a different pokemon, or come back with more pd next time.

Ugh, I really didn't want to have to test that out. I'm more of a collector than a battler, and if I do start a battle it would ruin my perfect 0/0 score :P . The only reason I got the vs seeker is because the ?????? under the home tab was annoying me and my OCD, lol. Oh well, I've still got a few more places I need to triple check first, I think I'll leave the battle one as a last resort... :P

Finally found another egg, in a place I'd already checked 3 times! My advice for people still looking is to do what I'm doing. Check everything again. And when you scroll, scroll slowly. Don't just assume like I did that your eyes are going to pick up the flash of colour if you scroll fast. Take your time and be thorough. Remember there are still a few days left so don't panic yet ;)

Just one more to find now, this is so much fun!

Edit: Actually, Hinahon has made a good point that I don't think has been mentioned yet. Could eggs be on an actual battle page? Like the page that comes up when you are battling someone? Even though I have a vs seeker, I have never battled on PH before so I don't know if it takes you to a different page or not. Does that make sense?

I'll just quietly point out here that I have the setting for friend notifications turned off, for personal reasons, so I never got the notification that they added me. I only noticed it later, after they had been banned, when I was scrolling through the list of people who have added me.

@Unsolved_Mystery, in your last post did you mean that this suggestion, if implemented, wouldn't change anything? I disagree with this. It would change the fact that I have to see rude language whenever I view my friend list. It would also stop other users from coming across the foul language when they are using the site.

The thing is, that sort of language is not allowed on this site. When it appears in feeds, about-me's or forum posts the offensive language is removed. I see no reason why usernames should be any different.

I just thought I'd point out here that Permanent Blocking, as I understand it, is the last resort, and reserved for players who have either continuously broken the rules despite warnings, or those who have broken the rules very seriously. Those who aren't serious or repeat offenders are given warnings and temporary bans instead. It's not like the mods go around permanently banning people whenever someone makes even the smallest mistake.

Also, those who are permanently banned are only banned after proper investigation and evidence.

And, like NightStorm said, if you follow the rules then you won't have any problems. It really is that simple.

	I am definitely still interested in continuing this. I kinda think we might need Finny to post, with Ricky's reply to Jaden. Or Ricky or Jaden to reply to Vannisters request to go inside while they stay outside. I don't really know what to do with my character until that happens... Sorry, I'm still very much a noob when it comes to rp's... [Read more]
