I think Meepcraft is pretty awesome.
But as many of us know, auctions are pretty cool.
[FONT=Tahoma]I have been asking around and some people have asked a few questions about what auctions were. Here are the results:[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma]Q: How do I auction?
A: This is what this whole tutorial is about. I'll tell you... *takes huge breath*
BASIC AUCTION COMMAND: /auction|auc start|s|(not specified) hand|(not specified) (QTY) (BID) (INC) (TIME) (BUYNOW)
- (not specified) means you don't have to type that, so /auc 1 1 1000 40 1000000 is EXACTLY the same as /auc start hand 1 1 1000 40 1000000.
Q: What happens during an auction?
A: When an auction occurs, this is what appears in the chat:
[JHB] Attention! An auction is beginning!
[JHB] (player) is auctioning (amount) damaged? enchanted? (item) named "(name)" for (time). Starting bid: (BID). Bid increment: (INC). Type /auction info for more details.
[JHB] Item damaged?: (percent) remaining.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma]Q: How do I bid?
A: It's really simple. Type /bid to bid the minimum allowable bid. Type /bid (amount) to bid a specified amount. Type /bid (amount) (max) to set a maxbid. A maxbid is used so that if someone bids below your maxbid, you will automatically outbid that person until someone bids your maxbid or higher. Type /bid buy to buy the item from the auction IF a buy now is specified.
Q: What's an auction queue?
A: An auction queue is simply a line-up for auctions. In other words, it allows for people to prepare auctions while another is going.
Type /auction|auc queue|q to see the auction queue. [/FONT]

Q: How do I end (cancel) my auction?
A: Simply type /auction|auc cancel|c to cancel your auction. While the auction is going, you can only cancel before the auction is half way over. You can cancel while in the queue - canceling while in the queue removes the auction from the queue, advancing auctions behind you by one.

[FONT=Tahoma]As you can see, I have spent a while preparing to ask this question. And, well, you get the idea. These are just a few suggestions. I would love auctions for Meepcraft and think they would make the server much better.
