RESULTS: Sorry for the delay getting this out -- I've been out of the office and/or away from email since Thursday. We had our first chat-based bidding round, and I think it when great. Thanks especially to JonathanMcC for staying up late. Anyway, the Emperor really threw his economic weight around and bought a total of 3 cards this turn. The BG, Guild, and the Fremen(!) each got one. Cards were going relatively cheaply (4 of 6 went for 3 spice), but surprisingly, the Atreides, and even more surprisingly, the Harkonnen didn't buy anything. Must be saving their money for on-planet mayhem. ;) There is no revival needed, so it's straight into movement. The Emperor is first, unless the Guild wants to intervene. *** NOTE - I'll be on vacation from now until August 3rd, so unfortunately, I think we have no real choice but to go on hold for a week. I will probably be able to read email at home when I return on the 3rd, so if you send me anything, please make sure it goes to both tempus42@aol.com and qa1226@email.mot.com.
