HOW ABOUT AN AUCTION!?!?!

[Rev.Reverence]

Here's the rules (& I heard that wen doin' this sort of thing, it is bestest to state that we are using Robert's Rules Of Order, saves time):

...you may not put yourself on auction...

...by auction I mean...whoever sets the date up, gets the reward...

...state te person you wish to auction, & your stated reward...

.....I put up (& will receive many seconds to this) STORMKNIGHT.

...& I will provide drinks & duck-burgers (made by duck, not made of duck).

rev, you must state things clearly, with specifics, or else people will be confused. why don't you go ahead and clarify what exactly it is you're proposing for this thread, so that there's no chance for confusion!?

(btw, wtf are "robert's rules of order"!?)

Robert's Rules Of Order,

You have me curious sir

[Msterbeau]

Rewrite the original post so the people who come read this get it... It just needs a few embellishments and additions to be clear.

Roberts Rules of Order are lawyer/business/government guidelines for meetings and assemblies, etc.

ok, let me see if i can paraphrase - you tell me if i got it right, ok?

---

i have someone in mind (other than myself, as that's not allowed) that i'd like to set up on a date. (hey, "person X" is cool & single!)

i offer something up, as an enticement for someone to accept. (free drinks, dinner, a camel, belly-button lint...)

the person who accepts the date, will receive whatever it is that i've proffered. (squee!! a camel!!)

---

that pretty close?

[TheGimp]

let me try...forgive me if I'm wrong...as i do not know Roberts Rules of Order

but I'm just taking a shot in the dark....

Rev...do you mean...for example

i place Marc up for action....winner of the auction or whoever gets marc for the date gets the reward like I.E. a 5th of Jack?

*face--->palm*

No man, it's like, if you put Mark up, & I find him a date...you give me a fifth...

...maybe auction is the wrong word, but, as I meant it, there is no other word...

...further, if I put up that I'll give drinks & lunch to the person that finds Stormy a date TheGimp can say that he'll throw a round of drinks on it...see?

It-looka-like-auction...?

[TheGimp]

well i was half right....but yes...i MAY buy a round of drinks....pending on how many people and how expensive the drinks are....

[torn asunder]

Sounds about right...

actually, not according to rev... the last bit is wrong, regarding who gets the "gift".
