[Rails-users] Bug in 18GA private auction

[Justin R. <jus...@gm...>]

Forgive me if this is not the correct place for this. I am involved in a
game of 18GA (using Cotton Port variant map). We are four players and
during the initial private auction encountered a very minor bug that is
probably an easy fix for someone with intimate knowledge of the code.

There were three pending bids on the OSO private company and after the
preceding company auction was concluded, the first player to have a bid
chose to pass. The next two players raised the bids and then the first
player (who had already passed) was prompted as the next active player with
the option to bid again or pass. The player should not be able to re-enter
the private auction in this case. Easy to work around for now.

Thanks!
Justin

Not a bug. From the rule book - page 7.
 "A player who has passed may bid later, if he gets another turn before the auction ends."

Wow. That's embarrassing. Sorry for the bogus report. The players in the
game all agreed it was a bug and I just went straight to filing rather than
reporting. Won't do that again. ;)

In fact Rails allows both, exclude or include a player from further 
bidding after a pass:

=> It depends on the setting "Leave auction on pass" that is set to "No" 
as default for 18GA. This can be changed at game start.

=> If I remember correctly this is not defined in the AH version of the 
1830 rules. So the option was created for 1830 (default there "No" too) 
and it exists for all 1830 "clones" or "close derivatives", even if 
there is a ruling in the derivative rule book. However the default 
should be set to the wording in that rule book.

Justin: nothing to be embarrassed about. Auction rules of 1830 have 
created various variants over time. The only good thing is that Rails 
for 1830 is so stable, that it is more likely that the bug is due to the 
users perception. Some time ago I proposed to introduce another level 
for those games instead of "fully playable", something like "mature" or 
"stable" to indicate that there are not many bugs to be expected, 
compared to what we have for example for 1835 and 1880 currently.
