Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The third bidding phase is over and all results should be out. If your balance nor owned squares changed, you probably didnt get a result unless you made an attempt at bidding.
The following squares were not sold: A4, B2, B5, B7, D2, E8, F2, H2, H3, H6, H8.
We are almost done with this task! Because I am sure most of you know what you are doing, the third and final unraveling phase will end on July 8th, 10 PM MT. If you intend not to unravel anything but own a square, tell me that you will idle so I can end this task even quicker!

This means that Da Letter El, Steven Snype, and jumpluff will be given an advantage during the next task. Outstanding job! billymills, Pidge, LightWolf, Celever, kingofmars, PokeguyNXB, and Ace Emerald will also advance. Good job!
Unfortunately, I must eliminate Acklow, Walrein, zorbees, Ditto, Woodchuck, and askaninjask for their disappointing performances. Their punishment will be as follows:
For one month, your avatar shall be changed to the following:
Additionally, s_aman stopped complying with his punishment too soon. For his insolence, he must also obey the above punishment.
I will now congratulate the players who have advanced once more!

That concludes the second task. The third task will take place on an anonymous mafia forum courtesy of jumpluff, and will still take me another day or two to fully setup. Please wait patiently!
In the meantime, you are free to discuss some final thoughts regarding the second task in here. That said, I won't open up my spreadsheet for any task until the end of the game for various reasons, nor comment on the players until the postgame.
It was a good power creeping strategy but you needed to know what you were aiming for anyway to really need that level of precision (or else be very very poor), LightWolf just wanted to bid entertaining amounts of money (fwiw I never thought to bother either)
Not too concerned with the punishment since I was able to get a decent gif to go into my sig. My only gripe is that I can't do anime avatars every week.
MY WAIFUSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Edit: Fixed. I made the image 15 pixels high. Still the same image, still in my avatar. BUT EASIER TO TELL ME APART!!!
Acklow, please use the avatar at the original resolution. I will not tolerate such cowardice. As such, I am extending the duration of your punishment by an additional 2 weeks.
Unfortunately I am very tired right now (didn't sleep last night) and won't be on to update. Many others have also expressed difficulty in finding time to plan their bids due to various circumstances, so I am extending the deadline by another day.
