    I'll be holding an AIM Auction Saturday May 29th, starting at 4 PM EST (GMT-4), which is 8 PM GMT. If you don't know what time that is, take the time of this post and add 10 hours. 12 Pokemon will be auctioned. And yes, this is open to any URPGers.

    For those of you who don't know what an auction is, it works just like outside the URPG, top bidder will win the Pokemon. Some Pokemon may come with a TM or two, and some may come with none at all. You don't need to post here to say your screenname like with Trainer17's auction.

    Don't try and make quick money before this, or you'll be banned from the auction, and punished. :nono:

    I'll announce the chat name Saturday morning. Following the auction will be some sort of small event; I'll leave you guys to guess what it will be.

    I'd say the special event Stinky's promised is either a lottery or a mini-tournament.

    Niiiiiiiiiice.

    Hopefully I'll be able to make the auction... and hopefully I'll walk away with a good Pokemon or 2!
    Reminder to self: Get on the computer at 2:50 PM my time, find the chat name, and get there before the auction starts!

    Re: AIM Auction this Saturday!

    Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with trying to earn as much money as possible before the auction starts. Also, if one does try to do this, no one can really prove that they were trying to earn a lot of money for the auction because they may be trying to earn that money for an item in the mart or pay for a story deal. And it won't be until the auction starts that someone can prove that that one person was trying to earn the money for the auction. (I hope that didn't sound very confusing, sorry if it is).

    What Stinky meant was abusing quick 1v1s or 2v2s. Just play as if you were normally, and there won't be any problem.

    Re: AIM Auction this Saturday!

    Oh, I get it. But let's say you were training a basic mon, would that be called abuse?(assuming you find a ref and opponent who will help you train) Sorry for asking all these hypothetical questions, I am very curious.

    Re: AIM Auction this Saturday!

    i doubt that would be considered abuse since many people do that normally and it says play normally.

    It will be implemented that once you get one Mon, you cant bid for another, right? Otherwise, us with barely any money (aka me before wages T_T) will just be there for no reason at all. Thanks, people with 80k. Thanks.
