I've been wondering about this... if someone gets disqualified, the next highest bidder gets the item... but what if they won another item? how the hell does that work?


Very few, if any, people won more than one item - and you are allowed two.
I think the problem is unlikely to arise.


No, I mean simply the token totals will not match... they will basically be getting a prize for FREE



"If any document(s) sent to a potential winner by any means is
returned as undeliverable or if a potential winner fails to properly
execute and return all documents described herein in the time noted, or
if a potential winner is found not to be eligible or not in compliance
with these Official Rules as determined by Sponsor in its sole
discretion, the potential winner will be disqualified and the Judges
will determine who will be selected as the alternate winner based on the
next highest scoring entry as determined solely by the Judges in their
sole discretion."

That "as determined soley" basically allows them to choose someone else if they notice the next highest winner spent all their tokens in another auction.

But yes, an interesting situation would be:

Bidder A makes a bid for 16,000 tokens on a high value prize
Bidder B makes a bid for 17,000 tokens on a high value prize
No other bids were registered.

Bidder A wins another high value prize later.

Bidder B is disqualified.

In that case, I suppose they wouldn't have much choice but to give both prizes to Bidder A?

Another situaton might be a 7,000ish point person bidding 20 tokens as a joke, then someone bidding 17,000 (locking out all other bids) and then being disqualified.
In that case, a 7,000ish token bidder (or less) could win a high value prize.


Yeah you're right, i didn't read the rules again... that makes sense... that clause basically gives Bioware the ability to give it to whoever they want because they don't even have to give it to the next highest bidder if they don't want with that clause

That laptop is majorly sexy, Mara. Yes, I'm just catching up now.

And now I wants one.


Tax returns come in handy :P

Mine went to repopulating my bank account. But I might just use the Best Buy card to finance it. Hrm.

Since I'm no technoman, what's better? Yours - the Core 2 Duo - or the one with the Core i5?


Honestly, since most games don't take advantage of 2 cores, let alone 4, it doesn't really matter. Sure I cant run everything maxed out at 60fps but I play BC2 multiplayer at 30-40fps with everything max (except shadows low and HBAO off) with 2x AA.


and DAO happens to be a game that will use all 4 core on a Quad


These are my settings in DAO, and I get a solid 30-40fps, including in combat. So 4 cores is not necessary.

Although what if people were wrong, and there were only two laptops?
