It's Auction Time Again!

The Action:

• From 11am until 12:00pm (noon) Preliminary Setup -The Castle's Faery Maintenance Crew.

• At Noon, the Auctioneer will ascend to the stage and, once Order has been established, introduce the first participant by handle, describe them(per the submitted bio), and state the participant's limits. The prospective chattel(wide evil grin) will then be given a chance to 'strut their stuff'! In other words, give the bidders a Reason or Enticement to Buy them! Have Fun! Be Creative! Once finished, the Auctioneer will then direct bidding to commence. Be Wise! Don't bid all your coins at Once or you may Lose the purchase of a lifetime!(wry g)
• Nolani (aka M.A.P.) is compiling a list of the bios of the intrepid souls destined for the Block...(if the list is Too long a vote will be held to determine the most desirable 'items'(hungry g)! Once all the 'merchandise' has confirmed their 'availability'(eg), a list of the finalists will be posted. All Final bios for each participant will be posted for review on the Castle Bulletin Board by August 12th, 2006.
• As always, Doms, subs, kajirae, and Others are available for purchase. Submissives, slaves and kajirae will be auctioned as slaves. Doms may be auctioned as 'Doms for hire', OR they May be auctioned off as a *slave*, and will take the status of a slave with whomever purchases them, even if it is a sub(amused g)(chuckle). Other entries will post their status in their Bios and Limits....the possibilities are limited Only by your imagination!
• All Masters/Mistresses and sub/slaves/kajirae, as well as the less 'leather orientated' Castle folk, are Encouraged to participate. Haven't you ever wanted a 'stable' of Five eager slaves? Or perhaps to have the attentions of your Favorite Dom or Doms???(vwg) Maybe a night of Personalized Sensual Dancing is more your speed! Or a seductive encounter with your favorite Barfly? Now's your Chance!!!(enticing s and gaze)

2. The Auctioneer will announce the name of the sub, Dom, or Other to be auctioned, followed by a brief description and introduction. The prospective 'merchandise' will then 'enter' and be given an opportunity to 'strutt their stuff' or otherwise arouse the bidders' attentions (playful g). The Auctioneer will then open the floor to bids. ONLY then will the buyers be allowed to place Valid bids.
3. Bidder's should use codes when speaking:
   1. Officail Bids shall be posted with a "$$" before each entry.
