Item(s) up for auction: 1 Emerald Ore and 53 stacks of netherack
Starting bid: 3 credits
Minimum increments: Any multiple of π (pi) rounded to the nearest whole number. You must use at least 3 significant digits for this calculation, but can use more if you desire. (e.g. 3.14 or 3.1415 may be used, but not 3). You round after you find the multiple of pi you wish to raise the bidding by.
Special Conditions: If the winning bid contains something that makes me actually laugh or find amusing enough*, I will knock 20% off the amount you bid. (Winning bid - 0.2*Winning Bid = Amount you pay)
Buyout: A bid that contains something that makes me A) fall out of my chair laughing, B)something that makes me laugh so hard I cry, or C) A comparable show of mirth. This will, of course, also provide the 20% discount.
End Date: August 15th, at 7 PM US Central Time.
*Note that "enough" depends on a variety of factors, possibly including but not limited to my general mood, how much work I've been doing lately, the local temperature, the local humidity, the phase of the moon, if I have been getting sufficient bans to keep me happy, heads or tails, the roll of dice, or my general opinion of you.
Please note that this auction may be motivated as much by my boredom as it is by my greed.
In case any of the terms are unclear, feel free to request clarification. You might get it.
Clarification based on the fact that the first time I tried this, the first page and a half was entirely invalid bids.
When I say minimum increment is a multiple of pi, you must choose your multiple of pi, then add it to the previous bid.
READ THIS EXAMPLE BEFORE YOU BID
Do not just bid a straight multiple of pi. This will almost certainly prove wrong.

READ THIS EXAMPLE BEFORE YOU BID
Code: Select all
Please indicate what multiple of pi you are increasing the bid by for my convenience. Including your math will make it much less aggravating for me, and may effect my opinion of the relative humor value of any attempted amusing submissions. I will also be throwing out bids that were not raised by multiples of pi, or are invalid for whatever reason. Starting bid is 3. You raise it by 1*pi (3.14). 3+3.14=6.14=6 credit bid.
Next bid raises it by 4*pi (12.56). 12.56+6=18.56=19 credit bid.Do not just bid a straight multiple of pi. This will almost certainly prove wrong.
Flattened realms are an abomination
