Round 7 of 12

kevin22: thought i got that one

tartarus.guard: it's based on the last bid received by the server before the auction ends, so you can't try to get ahead at the last minute and win reliably.

kevin22: thanks

tartarus.guard: yeah, it would be nice if auctions were synchronized but then they would suffer from the lag you see in land auctions

Round 8 of 12

kevin22: how did i not get that one i was in front the whole time

tartarus.guard: not on my screen. by the time you see me draw even with you my bid is already a hundred dollars higher than that

tartarus.guard: lag doesn't allow us to reliably see where the other is at

tartarus.guard: really as soon as you see me start to move you have to head upward to stay ahead

kevin22: okay

tartarus.guard: what's your server ping time?

kevin22: 156

tartarus.guard: that's not bad, but unless you're sub 100 you'll usually have enough lag in an auction to mess you up

tartarus.guard: what i usually do is pick a price i am willing to pay and wait until the timer has counted down enough and then i run to that price

Round 9 of 12

kevin22: I'll remember that

tartarus.guard: did your ping spike up?

kevin22: yeah

tartarus.guard: that would explain it then :) making sure i'm not lagging something

Round 10 of 12

kevin22: 125 not me

tartarus.guard: my ping with google is good, sub 50

tartarus.guard: not sure why we are lagging, must be the mule parent server
