Good morning players, sorry I didn't elaborate but it was a funny situation and not a big deal.

A week ago, I shared the numbers 4 and 15 with worldsbestcomics and we just went down from the top of the bidding list and the fourth name down was comicdonna and the 15th was gacguy. I had changed the rules several times due to your PMs and concern of someone manipulating the game and I apologize for not thinking of those first. That's why we decided on those two hidden numbers and to just count from the top. Thanks for playing gents. Here is a copy of the auction results:

Not to be a stick in the mud here, but based on your previous example of selecting the winners, picking the fourth highest bidder shows that cc_buffalo is the winner. (Is he a board member?) I haven't looked down the list to see how 15th works out (not knowing who is a boardy and who isn't), but am I wrong? I assumed you decided to pick based on bidding place so players couldn't gain multiple entries by placing low incremental bids.

As mentioned in my last post, changes were made during the game as per suggestions from you guys via PM. The most fair and simple way in determining the two numbers was to go straight down the list. The only thing I didn't want was to have the same bidder win more than once. So if comicdonna was also the 15th bidder, I would have gone down to the 16th. I am just trying to have as many separate winners as possible. It is my fault for not foreseeing these issues before originally posting the game.
