Auction Mechanics

[Admin Canary]

Corporate-affiliated characters have been called on to participate in the auction. Auctions will work in very similar ways, but vary in the relevant skills in question. The auction bidder will use their Trading skill functionally as "initiative" to determine the order of bidding.

The bidders will need to understand the item to know it's real value. thus, each auction will be based on a roll related to the item being bid on. An outfit might be Wardrobe & Style, a cyberdeck might be electronics, etc. Each roller has the opportunity to raise the difficulty by the amount they choose each time they roll. If they succeed, they may roll again next time it's their turn. If they fail, the difficulty stays the same and it moves on to the next person. They may not roll again, as they have dropped out of the bidding. This goes on until the last person standing wins the item in question. This continues through the bidders in order of "initiative".
