The Office Tour is part of the Silent Auction for Fanfest 2008 and abides by the same rules as the rest of the auction items. To participate you simply need to send a bid to [email protected] and then keep your fingers crossed that yours is the highest bid 
The Childs Play charity is an amazing cause and everyone at CCP is proud to be a part in raising as much as we can to make a childs life a little better. The tour is an opportunity for you to see the inner workings of CCP courtesy of a tour from our CEO, Hilmar Veigar PTtursson.
The winner could even get a chance to meet me and that has to be worth a $1000 at least

Pilot B wins and has to pay the $200, Pilot A didn't win and therefor don't have to pay. But if this is now how it went down with the fundraiser last year, feel free to correct me.
I made a bid last year. I did not pay it, as I was not the winner. CCP never demanded that I paid. CCP never took the amount from my creditcard. So as far as I know, my bid last year was simply thrown away, since it was not the winning bid...
And to the OP: It kinda goes in the name "SILENT auction" that you don't get to see the amounts bid by others...
Just to clarify the point made by CrayC and Chribba, if you bid and you are not the winning bid you do not pay anything.
That said, there are still some amazing and unique prizes at the Silent Auction at Fanfest even if you do not win this one

We don't have a broomcloset.
Yes we do, there is that room up on the fourth floor, next to the bathrooms.

Obviously this reply does not constitute a promise to do anything but I'd like to see the discussion take off and see opinions from both sides.

That room does not contain any brooms, buckets, mops, detergent, sponges, rags, windex, marigold gloves or other cleaning implements. I think it got turned into a network switch room, judging by the amount of blinking lights, multicoloured cables and hamster food.

Wrong again, the room you are referring to is in the same corridor though 
Childsplay for the win!!!

Avalloc: Last year's auction winner is a Goon too. How's that for a twist on typical Goon behavior? ;)
As I recall, you used the opportunity to choke Zulupark. We have pictures. That is what made it typical Goon behavior.  (I still <3 you, Av.)
For those of you attending Fanfest on a budget that prevents you from being able to try for the office tour, remember that there is a wide variety of less expensive items that you can bid on. Nav and Applebabe have done a tremendous job "sack dragging" (as we say in the South) to find some really good stuff.
