Unfortunately, the historical records have been damaged, so the players only know certain things about the auctions - e.g. how much was paid for each lot, but not which amount went with which lot... They must thus be careful to preserve the timeline by making sure that the auction comes out the way it is recorded, without realising that all the other bidders in the auctions are their time-travelling rivals.<br /><br />The idea was to create a really bizarre feeling where players already knew the outcome of the auction (the one thing that really shouldn't be known!) but not quite enough of the details to be sure they know what they are getting themselves into.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941415620591165021noreply@blogger.com
