250 million ISK for a poem from Admiral Shutaq. I always did want to be a patron of the arts.

I actually did not, if you can believe it. I honestly have no idea who the bidder is. I admit, I too am quite curious. I was genuinely preparing to offer options to Miss Denton for locations under the assumption she would be the winner.

Lord Draconis, you surely can't expect this to go down well, when one of your own employees comes in acting for an "anonymous" party and raises the bid so dramatically!
Even if this isn't a rigged table, think about your own safety - it could be one of those awful Sabik sluts, or worse!
I'm playing no further part in this until you put a ban on anonymous bids.

*chuckles* To be fair, this is not the first time Miss Andiun has been a liaison between myself and those who would have no normal reason or method for contacting me. She was, after all, my secretary for a decent period of time. Thus my lack of reaction.
Although I was surprised at the generosity of the bid, and the fact that they wish to remain anonymous. But as Adala assures me this person is a friend of hers who is simply rather shy, I am not overtly concerned.
Concerning my own safety, I have a vast security network, and would be prepared for such a situation.
Even so, I would not exempt myself from something that is a possibility for any of the volunteers. If there is a concern, I shall provide the security the volunteer feels is necessary.
Now, after inquiring further, I have been informed that the anonymous bidder did mention the funds would be transferred regardless of whether or not they won, simply that they wish be supportive. Apparently there was a conversation that I am not privy to regarding why it ended up being a bid, rather than simply being a donation, and I am not entirely sure how that happened... Nor do I expect that to be explained unless the person chooses to reveal themselves.
But that is inconsequential now that it is sorted out.
In light of this new information, I would like to officially extend my thanks on behalf of Offworld Trading Company, as well as myself, to "Currently Anonymous" for their most generous donation.
I shall also move that information to a different category, replacing your bid to its original place, and there will be no more anonymous bids.

A scheme simple in its conception and poor in its execution. On top of what is, at this point, considering the complete lack of willingness by the host to address concerns of the auction's true intent, a transparent sham to extract money from the generous for personal gain we now have clear evidence of a deeper deception. To stimulate higher bids the Beggar Lord has had an acquaintance place an "anonymous" bid above the others. Then, when the lie is seen through he waves it away, no longer counting it as a bid, and declares his right to reinstate the previous bid and collect on it despite his unsuccessful fraud.
I expect that Vulxanis, as any good con-artist would, will ignore facts as he has in the past. Refusing to address them and removing any criticism from the public eye as best he can. Yes. The tactic of a con-artist indeed. A true Holder would address such accusations directly. But as Vulxanis is more a coward than a Holder I expect more silence. |

An old trick I'm afraid, and a very poorly executed one. I'm afraid the only transparent thing in this whole charade is Lord Draconis' despair.

Hmmm, I have refrained from commenting at this point, but after several issues of doubt, I feel that I must step in.
I am working for Lord Draconis on a contract basis at this point and I can assure you that his intentions for this fundraiser are quite honorable. I would hope that my word would be enough in this situation as many of you know me as a trustworthy and honest business owner. I would not lower myself to work for someone of such low morals.
If the money does not go to the intended purpose, I assure all doubters that measures will be taken to recover the funds and put them to a suitable cause. |

Mr Lord Draconis is innocent in the matter of the anonymous bid. I am the GÇÿanonymous bidderGÇÖ and I made such donation through Ms Adala who is indeed a friend of mine um who I met some time ago and I made it plain that my action was a donation and that I did not wish a date because I thought that was a silly thing and my reasons for the donation are private but in keeping with Mr Lord DraconisGÇÖ philanthropic gesture for helping people in preparing them for life in the cluster so they can be happy.
If IGÇÖm wrong about where the funds are going then I guess it means IGÇÖve lost some ISK and um it doesnGÇÖt matter there are greater acts of fraud in the cluster than petty theft of assets that deserve rebuke. It was entirely my own decision with um no solicitation from Mr Lord Draconis himself or anyone and that is all I will say on this. |

Lord Draconis,
I quite agree with Ms. Hydreiga.
I would insist, Lord Draconis, that the preposterous bid by Diana Kim on herself be declared void ab initio as if it were never made. My bid of 45 million isk should be reinstated as the leading bid as of this hour. Failure to do so would be construed as a breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing included in the auction arrangement propounded by Offworld Enterprises. I would then declare all my bids forfeit and withdrawn, including my 100 million bid on the fair Shalee Lianne, and naturally seek all damages to which I may be entitled, including exemplary damages.
Please advise without delay.
Very truly yours,

I shall get to that in a moment. I am writing a statement to the earlier development currently regarding the donation. And yes, bidding on herself is not allowed. It was not specified in the clauses, but I did not see a reason to. Your bid is valid at 45million and trumps Miss Kim's. I shall update the original post in a moment.

It seems that everyone is attempting to decide things or put words in my mouth, and is borrowing trouble where none exists.
First I would like to officially thank Ms. Zenaraie for her most generous donation.
Second, for those of you who are so intent on seeing this auction fail, I am actually not very concerned, as everyone else seems to be, as there is nothing to hide. I have been simply ignoring you after I attempted to explain the situation intentionally. I recognized that your words have no merit, and are simply yelling into the solar wind with the hope you will cause a star to explode. There is no scandal, and you are simply making yourselves look as fools. Not worth the energy of combating.
As Ms. Raske most graciously pointed out, I strive to be a man of my word, and I have been honor bound with this entire operation. I would not be opposed to her overseeing the construction herself. As I have said before, I have nothing to hide.
Bidding on my own auction to raise the price is not something I would be willing to do. Even though the board is 75% Caldari, and the Caldari culture puts a significant emphasis on the obtaining of currency, they too would be entirely against bidding to raise the price. There would be yelling at the meetings, from myself and them, if such a thing happened, and the one who did so would be disciplined, even if it was a board member. That was not even considered.
The fact that some of you are under the impression that I would do something of that nature, proves you are far more ignorant than you would like to admit. It would be rather convenient for those who are not interested in seeing this succeed, and the fact that a few have already attempted to sully my name in light of this new development truly shows how desperate they are. At least I can derive some comfort, as those who know me and my reputation would assume otherwise, and this statement should affirm those assumptions. Staying above board is always better to do.
Regarding Miss Zenaraie, I am still not rather concerned, after speaking with Miss Adala about it. I was not privy to her identity when she made the donation, and this was not any kind of scheme or scandal.
For myself, I find the uproar surrounding this rather silly. I am not angry with Miss Zenaraie, nor Adala. Adala does admit this little bit of unintended drama is more her fault, as she is the one who came up with the idea for it being a bid, and she has apologized. Everything has been corrected.
For those of you who have messaged your concern, I appreciate it, but Miss Zenaraie's gift has come with no strings attached, as it has already been given. For those who believe she was a Sani Sabik attempting to lure with gifts, that should refute their concerns. My opinion of Sani Sabik is rather well known, and my reacting to this has not been in haste.
Miss Andiun has just as much cause to hate anyone who is Sani Sabik as I do and I have found public denouncements by Miss Zenaraie of her trying to distance herself from the Sani Sabik. I trust miss Adala's judgement regarding character, and would like to extend a formal apology to Miss Zenaraie if this situation has caused her any undue stress. I am not upset with her, and I shall inform my holdings of her name, as well as the name of the bidders, at my next Holder's court.
Hopefully this dispels any concerns anyone had regarding the situation. I apologize for not responding sooner, as I woke up this morning to find all this going on. I would appreciate it if everyone would stop making assumptions and jumping to conclusions before asking me about it.
The bids stand at:
(Female Date Volunteers)
Diana Kim - 45m - Johanesse
Lasairiona Raske - 25m - Jace Sarice
Literia
Shalee Lianne - 100m - Johanesse
Utsukushi Shi

Vulxanis Viceroy - 25m - Karynn Denton
Eran Mintor - 25m - Havohej.
Marcus Gord
(Non-date Volunteers)
Aldrith Shutaq - 250 million Ibrahim Tash-Murkon
EDIT: Donation from Zenaraie for 300 million has already been received.

I admit, the similarity is rather peculiar, and your behavior has been rather odd. I shall have to speak with Miss Wendrika. But I am not familiar with yourself, Miss Hydreiga, nor do you work for me.

This is not eww, Miss Wendrika. It means it can't be romantic like boys dating girls, and, since romantic relations are prohibited by the rules, girl with girl and boy with boy dates will be completely safe. But boy with girl dates would require way more caution to not break the rules. |

Ms. Kim,
Implied threats to bidders in good faith certainly strikes me as most Dishonorable. I am certain Lord Draconis and his entity does not countenance such unbalanced behaviour from its participants and that such will be swiftly corrected.
Ms. Project,
Why bid greater than necessary to obtain the successful bid? I was always taught to be frugal and not profligate. This something I am sure that a sophisticated businesswoman such as yourself can appreciate. |

Well, it was a Sabik that placed a bid for the Beggar Lord. So, Ms. Denton wins the pot for that. For the record, Ms. Zenariae once was a member of a Sani Sabik corp named Neo-Sani. I am not privy to whether she is sluttish in nature or not. |

I would not recommend it, no. That would require both parties in agreement and is beyond what is condoned by this arrangement.
The endorsed method of the evenings spent would be conversation, and perhaps a meal. Most likely both. Anything beyond that is between the two parties, and not endorsed nor required as part of this arrangement.
I am sure Miss Kim is not intending to be dishonorable. Witness Shahni will be accompanying her to make sure things run smoothly, for Miss Kim's comfort, and undoubtedly, the winner of the bid's.
