RESULTS:            Fremen start in Tabr (along with their a small cadre of                     BG "advisors") and False Wall South, and everyone has                     selected their traitors.                     The storm will begin in sector 7 (Red Chasm).  The next                     storm movement will be reported to the Fremen.                     Initial spice blows appear in South Mesa and Funeral Plain.                     The next spice card will be reported to the Atreides.                     Initial treachery cards have been dealt and will be shown                     in your private information in a separate message.                     We are now ready for the first bidding round.  Unfortunately,                     I've tried everything I know to get up and running on the club                     chat, but I still can't get it to work.  That, combined with the                     fact that I haven't been able to get a clear consensus on a time                     when everyone could do it, means that we're going to have to use                     the sealed bid method.  I'm open to changing that if we get                     the chat thing worked out.                     Here's what you do:  Submit your maximum bid for each card,                     one at a time.  I'll follow the bidding order for each card,                     starting at one with the first bidder and incrementing by one                     around the table until only one person is left.  (So you won't                     necessarily pay all the way up to your maximum if you win.)                     Sort of like how Ebay works.  However, you can also give me                     whatever conditional orders you would like.  These could be                     anything that you could conceivably do in face-to-face bidding,                     such as "start bidding at 3 and increment by 2 up to a maximum                     of 7", or "bid at least 3 if bidding before the Fremen", or                     "pass if the Atreides passes on a bid of less than 4", or                     anything you can think of.  I'll adhere to your orders as                     best as I possibly can.  You can change these orders on every                     card if you like.                     I will report the first card up for bid to the Atreides.                     Bidding order is shown below. ORDERS NEEDED:      All - Sealed bid on card #1.
