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

[Stefan F. (web.de) <ste...@we...>]

Chris:
I already fixed the first bug (players were still able to bid after pass after 
an auction started for that item) a few days ago.

From my understanding the second "bug" is only the label of the button:
During the first round (where an auction is still possible) the button with 
label "pass" should be called "decline to bid". 

In the later rounds (where buying is possible) the label for the pass button 
should be changed to "decline to buy", if one wants to mimick the rule 
phrases here too.

It is easy to change that, but I must admit, that I never had any problem.
I always assumed that the auction only starts, when the first bid is raised.
Thus for me even the button for the auctioneer could be relabelled to "select 
and pass" and I would still assume that the auctioneer could decide to enter 
the auction later.
