I see what you did there. Very droll. Like it, like it.

Well, in Amber I figure that players should get what they deserve, not always what they want.

A poster mention that the attribute auction probably won't be that chaotic and crazy.
This is often the case. Especially with people who understand how Amber is usually played and run.
But I've seen different. If you have two players who don't understand the concept of how Bad Stuff can screw you over and both desperately want to be 1st at the same thing.
So all of a sudden you have two idiots shouting, "Ten Thousand!!!" "Twenty Thousand!!!" at each other.
I decided both their characters died at birth.

This could even work out, if you make a reference to these two tragic stillbirths in the Amberite family.
