== Ruleset to-do list ==
Some things we need to settle:
* If a person bids 100 coins and goes 100 -> 99 -> 100, should the bid be considered?
* Which rewards should be given for completing a hand?
* How many lots in each auction? How many cards in each lot?
* What ratio of votes should Standard Proposals need to take effect?
* How to prevent a small group from taking advantage of undemocratic voting?
* Players can bet with money they don't have / it's possible to lose items (points) that one does not have

=== Bidding ===
Players may bid on lots by sending a message in #auctions. A bid must be a natural number of points that is at least 1, and the bidding player must possess at least that number of points. If the game state changes such that a player can no longer afford their bid, the bid becomes invalid and does not affect the auction for that lot. Bids on a lot must increase the amount bid. At the end of the Auction Phase, the auction concludes and the lot is transferred to the possession of the highest bidder and points are deducted.
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.
