Well now I just feel inadaquate.

You are tied for second. Take heart, though, I am quite sure the bidding war for Ms. Lianne is somewhat staged. No offense to Ms. Lianne, I'm sure she is wonderful, but Tigerfish gave the game up.

I assure you nothing is staged. My goal for the auction, total, was five billion. We've surpassed that by a great sum and I am thrilled and and somewhat humbled by their bidding.

Since the sums are so high at this point, I feel guilty for only giving one date. I will give four to the winner. And if there are any more bids beyond these last, I will offer one date per every extra billion.

Thank you guys for being so generous.

Aye, if only, then we could all sleep a little better. Tigerfish is earnest in his attempt to buy his way back into the lady's good graces.

Norrin...I just think he has too much money.

And Aldrith...you should have known it wouldn't be pretty for the rest of us.

Tiger didn't seem too earnest when he was cheating on Ms. Lianne with my own bride-to-be. I have every vested interest in making that bottom-feeder pay dearly to entertain his fantasy that Shalee would give him another chance.

I mean more of Tigerfish finding money behind the sofa.

Oh my, so it's personal? Interesting...

For the record, if it isn't obvious, my 'bid' was entirely sarcastic.

Don't worry, no one was going to come collecting money. Being alone is free of charge.

He probably sold a supercarrier.

Also, why do I sense there will be bloodshed at the party now?

Sometimes reading the IGS leaves me wondering if it's tragicomedy, trope filled soap opera, and inane reality holo series all rolled into one neat media package.

Have to admit though, I laughed.

This is what is commonly referred to as the "love polygon".

If you want to bed me that bad, you just have to ask for a date (and not be a psycho *****).

Hah! I figured, but I wanted to make sure that the organizers weren't taking the offer seriously as a donation.

If it's any consolation, I'd have bid on you or Shutaq were I not married.

I assure you everything about these 'dates' will be entirely innocent on our behalf. I am married myself, and some of the other participants are in committed relationships as well. Remember, we are Amarrians; to us a first date consists of polite (if frigid) conversation, a pleasant (though only adequate) meal, fine (low-alcohol) wine and a scenic (only vaguely romantic) view. Also, your parents will be required to come to chaperon and negotiate marriage terms. Of course, the details of this arrangement only become final on the third date, so you have nothing to worry about!
