Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU minor initial sale round bugs

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

p.s. technically, if you select "no bid" you are not starting an auction.
Only if a player places a bid of 100 or more is there an auction.  If no
player starts an auction, the minor is offered for purchase to each player
in turn and there is no auction.  So the sequence should be (assuming 3
player game)

Player 1 selects minor

Player 1 place bid 100 or greater to start auction, then each player in turn
bid or pass until all but one pass; exit
-- OR --
Player 1 decline to place bid; then

Player 2 place bid 100 or greater to start auction, then each player in turn
bid or pass until all but one pass; exit
-- OR --
Player 2 decline to place bid; then

Player 3 place bid 100 or greater to start auction, then each player in turn
bid or pass until all but one pass; exit
-- OR --
Player 3 decline to place bid; then

No auction
Player 1 offered purchase at 90 or decline
Player 2 offered purchase at 90 or decline
Player 3 offered purchase at 90 or decline
Player 1 offered purchase at 80 or decline
...

Players only "pass" if an auction is started at 100 or greater, and that
should cause them to be removed from consideration for that minor.  In all
other cases they "decline" and remain in consideration for that minor.
