It's no biggie sometimes i understand sometimes I don't but I suppose everybody has reasonable grounds for moving back or up the hours, and nobody should blame them for that unless they're unfamiliar with the concept "real life" which shifts schedules by its will. I'm quite familiar with the concept so I can live with it, that's why I don't blame Atlas.

Ah but see that's real life, GL is not real life, if they have a good reason to change the auction time then fair enough if everyone is given fair warning, and it's also good to keep some basic principles i.e. be fair when trading.

The discrepancy can be traced back to his first update post when he mentioned a little over 16hrs. were left in the auction.

To be completely fair, that gave ample time for someone to call him out on his admittedly foolish math mistake, and have the time corrected. I expect that like myself most people check fairly frequently on auctions they have been bidding on. At any time during that 16hrs Mento could have checked in and made a fuss, or some new bidder could have done the same. Not that I agree with what happened mind you, it is of course unfortunate, but as I see it over 16 hours is fair warning, and the mistake was unintentional. It wasn't a last second change to accommodate a bidder trying to snipe after the closing bell.

I'm honestly not bothered that he ended it an hr later by mistake as samaritean would have likely pulled the same low move then anyhow

+1 lol

Oh I'm not 'bothered' by it either, I'm simply pointing out as a person who tries his best in life to be fair and just that it's unfair to sell a planet to someone after the end date because they were paying more. It's not this particular auction, I was more talking in general, that an end date is an end date, and can't be changed unless everyone is given ample notice first.

Let it die man, same as I did with the dyson and other 2 uber planets and same as others did on other auctions.

Probably a good idea, I was just pointing it out that's all, anyway congrats whichever one of you two ends up getting the planet.

Sorry for the trouble i've caused especially to u mento. The reason it ended an hour later was coz i fell asleep. Now i was pretty sure i was spot on when the auction ended when i posted 16hrs ect...but anyway, But the Winner is Mento by fairness, that he was the winning bidder at the end of the auction.

No you got greedy after the bidders withdraw their bids and ignored my last one even if it was within the time limit limit so you just sold it to somebody else, awesome way of auctioning you had back then.

tututu not the same thing that happened or in the same context. But your right I was not fair on this one

Well done you did the right thing, sorry Samaritean and sorry for kicking up a stink as well, I just thought it was important.

To be honest, you always feel that it's important to brag on 1 out of 3 threads here for no particular reason(as in trolling without bidding[rarely seen you bid wherever you comment] despite it's not always trolling). I honestly don't get why your real life is so failed that you need to waste half a day commenting on nearly every single thread here but hey, it's your choice to do it if it makes you happy.

It is my choice it does make me happy, and my real life is not a fail I assure you, and I also assure you petty insults don't work on me.
