Editing Round 10/Initial Ruleset (section)

== Auctions ==
=== Bidding ===
Players may start a bid on a lot or increase one of their existing bids by sending a message in #auctions. Upon starting a bid or increasing a bid, the player loses a number of points equal to the amount placed or increased, respectively. If the player does not have that number of points, or the bid is not a natural number greater than 0, the action fails.

At the end of the Auction Phase, the auction concludes and the lot is transferred to the possession of the highest bidder, and those who lost the auction receive a number of points equal to their bid.

=== Lots ===
Each lot consists of two cards. Each auction has ten lots.

During any phase other than the Auction Phase, if there are fewer lots than the number specified above, any player may generate a lot by generating a pair of cards. Each card is generated by publicly rolling one d13 and one d4 after announcing that you are generating cards for a lot.

=== Presenting a Hand ===
During each Bartering Phase, excluding the last 24 hours, each player may once Present a Hand, specifying one set of five cards in their possession, by stating so in #game-actions. The cards are removed from the player's possession.

=== Prizes ===
24 hours before the end of the Bartering Phase, all players who have Presented a Hand receive a placement according to the contents of their Presented Hands. Better hands get a lower rank number. The players then gain the prize(s) corresponding to their placement.
