Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Kaerja T-560 (1A/2D/1H)

Appearance and favored weapon: Some sort of blob of scar tissue and mechanical parts. Wields a plasma rocket as a weapon.

Skill: Shipmaker

Wealth: 200 credits

Ships: Hearthcannon, Skipper-class.

Prestige: 2

Crew:
1 Viking Gang (2A/2D/10H/.2U)

So, anyone wants to go shipping?

Yes i will join you.

These vikings swear to strike at the Military Outpost on board the Hearthcannon, the outpost being a valid and squishy target to test out this whole ship thing on.
The raid leader will receive any equipment or items recovered, excepting Cold Steel. The raid leader will not receive any Shares.

Other vikings will receive shares in proportion with the A value contributed, with Vanguard contributions counting double.
Credits are distributed according to shares. Cold Steel will be distributed by Share auction, with the winner of the auction forfeiting their wagered shares in exchange for Cold Steel.

Raid Leader reserves the right to deny passage to troops which are too weak to justify transportation. (This shouldn't be an issue for Military Outpost, more future proofing the oath.)

Name: Estrid Skull Blaster
Appearance and favoured weapon:
A tall woman with black, shoulder-length hair, and bright blue eyes, set low within their sockets

She wears a simple gray flight suit with a pair of jump boots, the pair of fingerless gloves and a tall spiked covered choker are worn on the grounds that it makes her look tough.

She holds her favoured inferno pistol, slung low on her hip belt.

[MonkeyMarkMario]

If anyone wants Berserkers all I need is some cold steel...

Oh and a bit of credits for my time. Say 1k credits

[a1s]

Dear participants of the steady as she goes raid, today we have on offer 2 units of cold steel.
I shall open the bidding process by bidding 100 credits on both units of cold steel.
The monetary loot pile is currently 17000 credits.
(Note: I have forgotten to include terms of proper auction etiquette in the oath, but please bid in reasonable amounts, rather than just adding a credit to the previous bid.)

[Kashyyk]

To avoid spamming the thread with incremental bids, may I suggest a slightly more abusable but definitrly more thread-friendly approach of declaring our max bids, and then whomever bids most, pays 10% more than the second highest bid?

You mean a Vickrey auction? (though that does not include the 10% surcharge) I'm game. chubby2man, can we send you our bids?

Spoiler: Aiven Aesdottir (click to show/hide)

chubby2man, can we send you our bids?

Alternatively, we can use cryptography: go to any site that provides AES encryption/decryption (I used this one)
Type in your bid
choose a secret key
(settings are: 256-bit key, and ECB operation)
and post the Base-64 output here.
DO NOT EDIT YOUR POST FOR ANY REASON!
Once we're both done we exchange keys.

[chubby2man]

Cool! Just popping in to say yes, you may submit your bids to me.

[TricMagic]

Sighs. Would prefer the refinery or coastal town. One for ore, and other to maybe steal a ship.

[Kashyyk]

I'd initially posited the 10% raise to counteract the drawback of it being open rather than sealed. I'm happy to do it this way, although encryption is probably a little overkill. I know it's been broken, but an MD5 hash would probably be suitable for a casual game.  Anyway, have my bid.

Spoiler: Thorbjørn's bid (click to show/hide)

[a1s]

my key is:

Code: [Select]

Daughter of the Aesir00000000000

[Kashyyk]

And here's mine:

Code: (key) [Select]

Sixteen for 128.

Code: (Bid Plaintext) [Select]

Max bid for Cold Steel 1 = 800 Cr
Max bid for Cold Steel 2 = 1200 Cr

Looks like we both had the same idea. You win both for 2000 Cr.

[a1s]

For those watching at home, my bid was:

Code: (bid plaintext) [Select]

I bid 1173 credits on one piece of Cold Steel and 2034 on the second piece
Also, you're right, a hash would have sufficed.

There are now 18800 credits in the monetary loot pile and 46 shares. That works out to 408cr per share. 6528cr for Thorbjørn Odinsson and 12272 for Aiven Aesdottir (-2k I owe the pile that comes to 10272). It has been a pleasure raiding with your men.

[a1s]

Buy 10 Viking Gangs for 10'000cr.
Also 200cr go to Kaerja T-560.

The Aiven Shows You How It Is Done Raid.
These Vikings swear to the undertaking of the raid of Port Iscariot.
Mainline units will receive 1 share per (A)ttack contribution. Vanguard units will receive 2 shares per (A)ttack contribution.
Special loot will be auctioned off using a Vickrey Auction among champions for notional money, which will be added to monetary loot. Champions will then receive a portion of the monetary loot equal to the proportion of their shares. If at the end of the turn a champion is unable to settle with the loot pile (e.g.: because they overbid on special loot) they are denied any loot, beyond upkeep, and the auction happens again next turn without them. Any remainder credits that can't be evenly divided are given to the raid leader.

Vanguard: 27A/28D/131H/2.6U

Spoiler: Aiven Aesdottir (click to show/hide)

finally, Thorbjørn/Kashyyk, I would like a set of Cold Steel Armor. It might not bring me additional shares, but it will let me lead the boys better/safer and that's enough for me.
