Eidolonic the Workaholic and Compulsive Shopper was found brutally murdered pregame.

Auctions never used to be like this, people may have sneered when others bid too much on an item they deemed unimportant but no one ever expected murder to happen here in this quiet Auction Hall, but it did. You find three pairs of bloody footprints next to Eidolonics dead body and a list of everyones names with Eidolonic name crossed out on it. Arguments brew about whether people should really care about Eidolonic dying given he's never reallly around anyway but you all agree that the list means that someone that really matters may be next and decide that no one can leave this auction until the murderers are discovered and punished for their crimes. You're hoping that some great detective work can help you discern who they were and hey, you may as well bid on a few items while you're still here.

Day One has officially started, you may now post, vote and bid on items!

As a reminder, the items up for auction today are;

Doctor x 2
Gravedigger x 2
Hitman x 2
Neighbourizer x 1

Please submit your bids inside your QT in bold. Mid day auction update will be posted in ~48 Hours and winners of the auction will be notified upon day end, please remember bidding is no longer allowed within the last 10 minutes of the day phase.

Please vote the player you wish to elect as the marketplace owner by bolding Elect: Player and for lynch by bolding Lynch: Player.

First post!

 

Vote market owner: Jarizok

 

Double post, please ignore.

 

Double post.

Eido died twice.

 

Hi folks.

 

I mean,

Elect: Jarizok

 

When did Rubicon become a computer.

 

So, you guys wanna talk items up for bid? I've got my eye on the double Hit- Doctor, I meant Doctor.

 

Elect fontisian

We need to get on bidding now. We should aim to acquire the hitman and doctor roles, though with a greater emphasis on the hitman one. The person who gets hitman should come forward immediately after receiving it. The doctor obviously should not. We're going to try to track bets and attempted bets as well as possible so keep track of what you do, do it rapidly, and think when you do it.

 

The Doctor seems so useless to me when Hitmen are about, especially when Hitmen is apparently not a real word.

 

Miner checking in.

Miner looks around.

Miner votes tom.

lynch: tom

Miner looks at fluff.

Miner reconsiders.

lynch: fluffiness

 

Ah, clarity is overrated Font. Let's not share any information at all and muddle through, that's way more my style.

Lynch: Miner

 

Also, why bother with Hitman? Scum start with more money, they’ll just automatically outbid us. Unless they’re cheap bastards, which is super risky.

 

Push up the price Vira

 

Ideally the mafia wouldn't get the role, but they can always outbid us. It's a bit unlucky double Hitman shows up D1 really.

 

Miner used third person

Waco was confused...

Waco voted himself in confusion...

Elect: Waco

Vote: Rubicon

 

Doctor is immensely useful, as hitman only applies to one night for the mafia team, which they have to guess correctly. We should go for both in order to deny that usage. Mafia have 800 gold each, which cannot be transferred. Thus, they can only be sure to outbid on three of the sixteen abilities.

Doctor, Cop, Daykill, Jailkeeper are Tier 1 priority.

Tracker, Watcher, Hitman, Bulletproof are Tier 2.

The rest are useful in specific situations, but not priorities.

We're electing me because I have a plan. Ok? Ok.
