For those who have played 1889 but not 18Chesapeake, here is a comparison of rules differences between the games: https://18xx.hcarver.com/?game_1=18Chesapeake&game_2=1889#

Hi @lalunaverde I’m wondering if you’re having issues with the interface of the 18xx.games site? It’s really non-obvious that to place a bid on a Private company (which is we’re we are now) you have to click in the box surrounding the Private. That will make the box turn blue and it also reveals where you enter the bid and submit.

As has been mentioned before the site swings wildly between carefully holding your hand and abandoning you completely in the middle of something important.

Sorry. Up my bid!

I don’t know if it’s specifically this game or if it’s a by-product of 18Chesapeake’s design, but this privates auction is brutal.

You took what is rightfully mine @pillbox

If it was yours, I think it would be listed under your name on the site :thinking:

In other news, I also took what would have been Name1ess’s only private… which I guess makes me the villain and Name1ess is up first in SR1 with a pocket full o’cash.

Oh god, me too!

Considering that I passed when i did, would it come as a shock if I said I don’t think they will. :grinning:

Well, I was going to let you have it if you bid again, so I guess we’ll just have to see. You might have missed it but you’re up first in SR1.

Yeah this auction was really interesting. If I had to guess, I’d say that lalunaverde is the only winner of that auction.

I am getting the same feeling.

For whatever reason, I’m once again not getting email notifications for the Chessie game; if you happen to notice it is my turn, feel free to @ me here

Well played, everyone!
