Welcome to the Big Fun Game - Diamond King style!
These next 3 sections will be included on each post during the game...
Updates from DK - Anything that needs to be said, including any DK$ that need to be awarded
Finally some higher bids going out, I was getting concerned that I'd never get all those DK$ back! My favorite part was Sport Card Collectors bidding 5 times, with 2 of those bids outbidding himself! Great moments, thanks! I wish I would have thought about putting 'outbid yourself' in the Hidden 10!
I'm glad to see so much interest in the basketball, I was worried that they might be a flop.
The Lost Collector scored 3 DK$ for winning Hidden 10 #4, 'Snipe a win (bid in the last 2 minutes for the win)'.
Fuji win's the 'Trivia' from Item 4 for 3 DK$. My daughter his .502, 124 hits in 247 at bats.
Winners so far...
Item 1 - Diamond Kings - Ryan G - 2 DK$
Item 2 - Oddballs - Sports Card Collectors - 12 DK$
Item 3 - Pucketts - Fuji - 15 DK$
Item 4 - Basketball - The Lost Collector - 45 DK$
Gotta get that DK$ - This will be an opportunity to answer/guess at a question. If you are the first to get it right, you can earn some extra DK$! (DK$ won this way cannot be used until the next item)
No question this time, but DK$ are available...
**This post only** Any player who wants to can leave the name of another player (and only their name) in a comment on this post. The first name left in a comment will get 1 DK$. The next name to be left will get 2 DK$. The next get's 3 DK$. And so on until either nobody is willing to give away DK$ that could be bid against them, or (unlikely), every player has gotten DK$. Once a player has been named, they cannot be named again. Once the item has closed, at 7PM PST on Friday 5/8, no more names will count either.
Kind of a social experiment. I'm interested to see if the generosity of the blogosphere carries over to this game, especially when your generosity could cost you when someone else has enough DK$ to outbid you down the line.
Please use the names that we comment under. I know many of us know other players by their real life names, but others don't and I don't want any additional confusion. So let's use these names, if you dare:
Bulldog
Chris
Fuji
Jon
night owl
Ryan G
Sport Card Collectors
The Angels In Order
The Lost Collector
The Hidden 10 - There are 10 things that I have identified that can or will happen during our BFG. Whenever one of them is achieved by a player, I will uncover it here:
1. Mention another contestant by name in a comment - worth 1 DK$ - won by The Angels in Order
2.
3. Buy/Sell something that was won (both players) - worth 5 DK$ each - won by The Angels in Order and Sport Card Collectors
4. Snipe a win (bid in the last 2 minutes for the win) - worth 3 DK$ - won by The Lost Collector
5.
6.
7.
8. Make a 1 DK$ increment bid (not the first bid on an item) - worth 1 DK$ - won by Ryan G
9. Bid more than one time on a single item. - worth 4 DK$ - won by The Angels in Order
10.
And now, what you have been waiting for, here is Item 5 for your bidding consideration!
Yup, a Mystery Box!! Anyone brave enough to risk it??? The bidding has been pretty tentative so far, so I am not expecting this to go for a big DK$ number, but you never know. This is prize number 5, who knows how many there could be.......
Bidding on this item will end at 7PM PST on Friday 5/8
5 DK$

ReplyDeleteOn another two notes, hopefully it’s not a mystery box of 1991 fleer baseball and if I can vote for another’s player I choose Jon. He hasn’t been mentioned and needs to be
Delete6 DK$ for Jon! And it's not 91 fleer, it's 91 Donruss. And the box is dented.
DeleteYes!
DeleteI was JK on the 1991 fleer by the way lol. I love mystery boxes! And glad I could do that for Jon!

ReplyDeleteGood! I will be doing it again too, definitely with modifications as well. I look forward to seeing what modifications you do! But mine won't be right away, I gotta build up my stockl first!
