With summer nearing its end, it’s time to welcome fall — the season of romance on Crescentview island — with the first annual date auction. Gather in Town Square at noon sharp to mingle, eat delicious free food lovingly cooked up by the Goddess’ many fairies, and most importantly, bid on the contestants participating in today’s auction. Are all of them here of their own volition? Maybe not, but regardless, their romantic fate may very well lie in your hands.
At the stroke of noon, the stage lights up and the curtains withdraw to prominently display each contestant’s applications in big, bold lettering. Step up on the stage to get a closer look, but be warned that if you attempt to remove or destroy any of the displayed applications, the Goddess’ threateningly beefy fairies will escort you off the premises.
How does the date auction work?
Participating bidders will be given 1000 Goddess Coins minted in her likeness with which to bid on their contestant(s) of choice. Characters will be invited up onto the stage to read each contestant's application before taking their seats so bidding can begin. Each application will have a comment for bidding and one for the peanut gallery to spectate. Please do not place bids outside of the designated thread or your bid will not qualify.
Mini FAQ
What happens to my coins once I've placed a bet? All coins bid are final, counting toward's the contestant's running total, so please plan your bids accordingly— and strategically. No refunds! Additionally, you cannot withdraw a bid once you've placed it.

Is there a maximum bid? Yes! The maximum bid per bidder is 1000 Goddess Coins— that's each and every coin in your purse, but you aren't guaranteed to win your bet just because you went for broke on a single contestant. See below.
What happens if two people tie for top bid on a contestant? Let’s say both you and another player blow all 1000 of your Goddess Coins on the same contestant. Should this happen, both of your characters will be brought up on stage and made to make an appeal as to why they believe they are best suited to take the auctioned candidate on the date of their dreams. The Goddess will then decide which of the two (or more) bidders made the strongest appeal and proclaim them the winner.
Can we pool/share coins? No! Each set of 1000 Goddess Coins has been specially minted with the bidder’s name spanning the ridge of the coin and cannot be used by anyone else.
When does bidding end? OOCly, bidding ends on January 30th at 12pm EST. Tallies will be taken and winners announced on January 31st after which the winners and their dates will be contacted with the details of their rewards.
What if I win multiple bids? If you do, congratulations! You will now be going on an all-expenses-paid date... with all of them at once. Good luck talking your way out of this one, Casanova.
