No bid from Oversoul...

train stops the bidding in the first round at 5 gems. The cards played at that point are:

Oversoul: <no card>
Ransac: Pass
train: Stop (bidding)
turgy22: Pass

No one played a Strike and normally since train played the only Stop he'd get it, but even after selling his current item, he wouldn't have enough. So I'm going on to the next Stop bid card, which is Ransac AND turgy22 in the fifth round at 1 gem. The cards played up to that point are identical (they must have had the same idea):

Oversoul: <no card>
Ransac: Pass, Pass, Pass, Strike, Stop (bidding)
turgy22: Pass, Pass, Pass, Strike, Stop (bidding)

So they each pay 1 gem and have a tie-breaker for the mystery item.

Round 13a:

Current turn: Oversoul: 3 income

Player(Total Points)/Gems/Resources (color-points-income-value)

Oversoul (50): 6/Lean-To (tan-20-2-2), Bugs & Slugs (green-30-1-3)
Ransac (100): 7/Volleyball (purple-20-2-2), Picture of your SO (purple-10-2-1), Gallon of Milk (red-40-1-4), Mai Tai (red-30-1-3)
train (10): 0/Beef Jerky (green-10-2-1)
turgy22 (90): 1/Jug of Water (red-50-0-5), Bottle of Wine (red-10-2-1), cellphone (purple-30-1-3)

Sold Resources: Teepee (tan-40-1-4), Piece of Driftwood (purple-50-0-5)

PM your tie-breaker bids by Thursday, 8/3 by 7:00 AM EST.

Ransac stops the bidding again in the fifth round at 1 gem. The cards at that point are:

Ransac: Stop (bidding)
turgy22: Strike

turgy22 plays the only Strike and gets it! The item turns out to be a food item - Steak (green, 40 points, 1 income, value 4)

Ransac needs to tell me if he wants a new item or one of the sold items up for bid.

Round 14:

Current turn: Ransac: 6 income

Player(Total Points)/Gems/Resources (color-points-income-value)

Oversoul (50): 6/Lean-To (tan-20-2-2), Bugs & Slugs (green-30-1-3)
Ransac (100): 13/Volleyball (purple-20-2-2), Picture of your SO (purple-10-2-1), Gallon of Milk (red-40-1-4), Mai Tai (red-30-1-3)
train (10): 0/Beef Jerky (green-10-2-1)
turgy22 (130): 0/Jug of Water (red-50-0-5), Bottle of Wine (red-10-2-1), cellphone (purple-30-1-3), Steak (green-40-1-4)

Sold Resources: Teepee (tan-40-1-4), Piece of Driftwood (purple-50-0-5)

Ransac picks a new item, which is a shelter - a Tent (tan, 10 points, 2 income, value 1). PM your bids by Monday, 8/7, although if you get them in before I leave work on Thursday, I can post a new round.

Well, that was quick, everyone got in their bid today! train does his usual and stops the bidding in the first round at 5 gems. The cards at that point are:

Oversoul: Pass
Ransac: Pass
train: Stop (bidding)
turgy22: Stop

No one played a Strike so turgy22 and train tie for it. train has to sell his Beef Jerky and turgy22 needs to tell me what he wants to sell for 5 gems. Then they need to re-bid for a tie-breaker

(Man, this game is odd)

Round 14a:

Current turn: Ransac: 6 income

Player(Total Points)/Gems/Resources (color-points-income-value)

Oversoul (50): 6/Lean-To (tan-20-2-2), Bugs & Slugs (green-30-1-3)
Ransac (100): 13/Volleyball (purple-20-2-2), Picture of your SO (purple-10-2-1), Gallon of Milk (red-40-1-4), Mai Tai (red-30-1-3)
train (0): 0
turgy22 (130): 0/Jug of Water (red-50-0-5), Bottle of Wine (red-10-2-1), cellphone (purple-30-1-3), Steak (green-40-1-4)

Sold Resources: Teepee (tan-40-1-4), Piece of Driftwood (purple-50-0-5), Beef Jerky (green-10-2-1), turgy22 item(s)

Nothing Special
Rules clarification: how is it handled when someone bids more than they can afford?

It seems kind of unfair that the item train is selling is only worth 1 gem, while I have to lose 5 gems worth of winnings before the rebid. Not to mention that after the rebid is over, if train wins, there's no way that he can afford the item. I'll check the previous threads on this one, but if you have an answer sooner, I'd appreciate it.

Yeah, I already asked EricBess (who ran this game previously and has access to the rules) when this started coming up. He said
He is forced to sell the resource. If he didn't want to pay that much, he should have bid differently

I would need to check to rules to see what happens if he doesn't have any resources, but given that he's probably losing badly at that point, I would be inclined to say that if there are no resources to sell, he simply gets the discount
He's a busy guy so he hadn't gotten back to me on exactly what happens and you're right, it is sort of unfair, so here's my ruling:

If there's a tie, the players involved need to sell enough resources to pay for the item. If one cannot, then the other player who can sell enough gets it. If there are still two or more players who can sell enough, then there's a tie breaker round.

So according to that, train can't sell enough to pay 5 gems so he keeps his Beef Jerky. So turgy22 will win the item but still has to sell enough resources to pay for the 5 gems.

So we're moving on to Round 15 and train needs to tell me if he wants to bid on a new item or bid on one of the sold ones.

train does his usual of Stop Bidding in the first round at 5 gems. The cards played at that point are:

Oversoul: Stop
Ransac: Pass
train: Stop (bidding)
turgy22: Pass

No one played a Strike so it'd normally be a tie-breaker between Oversoul and train, but once again train can't sell enough resources to pay 5 gems so Oversoul gets it!

Round 16:

Current turn: turgy22: 6 income

Player(Total Points)/Gems/Resources (color-points-income-value)

Oversoul (80): 1/Lean-To (tan-20-2-2), Bugs & Slugs (green-30-1-3), Grass Hut (tan-30-1-3)
Ransac (100): 13/Volleyball (purple-20-2-2), Picture of your SO (purple-10-2-1), Gallon of Milk (red-40-1-4), Mai Tai (red-30-1-3)
train (10): 2/Beef Jerky (green-10-2-1)
turgy22 (90): 6/Bottle of Wine (red-10-2-1), cellphone (purple-30-1-3), Steak (green-40-1-4), Tent (tan-10-2-1)

Sold Resources: Teepee (tan-40-1-4), Piece of Driftwood (purple-50-0-5), Jug of Water (red-50-0-5)

Don't forget that it's his turn next and he has an income of 8, so for all practical purposes, he has 16 gems ;)

...Just went and checked the rules. Looks like it's 150 points or 100 of one color. Hmm.......... :D

Sorry if it was unclear, but if you're picking a sold item, you get to pick which specific item.... :)
