P.E.R.C Presents Freedom Auction

The P.E.R.C. Player Auction is coming... Auctionees needed!

So, what's going on?
P.E.R.C. is gearing up to host a Player Auction on Freedom! For those of you who aren't familiar with what a Player Auction is, it's a...

1) ...Chance for the community to get together and have fun!
2) ...Way to earn or win some awesome IOs and influence!
3) ...Opportunity to buy time with Paragon Studios employees Beastyle and Zwillinger!
4) ...Good time to help P.E.R.C. generate funds for future player events!


How does it work?
The basic format is this: A player volunteers to have themselves auctioned off. At the event, other players place bids on them. The person with the highest bid gets 4 hours of the auctionee's time (either all at once or in smaller chunks; whatever is mutually agreeable) and the two of you do whatever the buyer wants... So long as it's within the EULA, of course. 25% of the winning bid goes to the auctionee, 25% goes to P.E.R.C. and 50% goes into a special jackpot used at the end of the night for a prize drawing.

I want to be an auctionee!

First, make sure that you can commit to 4 hours total play time with the person that buys you. This can be a single 4 hour session, two 2 hour sessions, four 1 hour sessions, or whatever will work for both parties. You'll need to be able to do this within 1 - 2 months after the auction or desired time frame worked out by both parties. As an auctionee, you don't need to be present on the night of the auction either; we'll still sell you even if you're out of town! Players will receive their 25% of the winning bid.

I want to donate (even though I don't have any influence)!

In addition to auctionees, we're looking for those who are willing to donate items or services. 25% of the proceeds from these sales will go to the player donating the item/service, and the remaining 75% will go towards funding player events on the Freedom server. Donations may include IO baskets (10 random procs, purples, PvP IOs, etc.), art, build designing, base building, shopping, costume designing, bio writing, "Master of" TF runs, badge/accolade assistance and similar services. All services must be specific and must be completed within a reasonable time frame after the auction (1 - 2 months). You may also donate IOs to serve as door prizes given away during the event. All players who make donations will be posted, unless they request to be anonymous.

For those who want to donate team spots:

You can offer up a spot on a team for a "Master of" TF, to get a rare badge, etc. This should be something that is specific and special (I.E. a spot on a random team for 2 hours would not qualify). Please make sure if you are offering this that you have 7 people total (or less if you need less) who will be willing run this team.

I want to be a bidder!

Simply show up at the auction on Saturday, July 23rd (9pm Eastern) and have your influence ready! We'll have players, IOs, and other goodies on sale, and your purchase will help fund future P.E.R.C. Events.

I just want to have fun and maybe win a prize!
You're welcome to show up even if you don't plan on being auctioned off or placing a bid. We'll have prizes and give-aways throughout the event, including the randomly selected grand prize winner who will walk away with 40% of the night's jackpot! Just remember: You have to be there to win!

How do I sign up as an auctionee or offer my services?

We'll need your @Global name and what you would like to auction off; be that yourself, item(s), or service(s). There are a few ways you can send us that info:


@LSK, or Little Side Kick in game.

PM here on the forums.

Email too! Send it to perc.coh@gmail.com

Questions, please let me know.

Oh, this will be fun! I remember that one year, I bought sneaky prophet and made him get me the MoSTF badge! Fun times!!

Freedom has always had good participation on these character auctions--in attendance, bidders and people willing to be auctioned off (even whole SGs! Some lucky toon bought the J-force one year!).

Spreading the word will be key since I bet that a very small percentage read the forums. Everyone is hanging out in Pocket D for the trials lately, so that would be a good place to post it...and of course, the motds of the various global channels (except there are so many of them on freedom!)

See you there--I'll be bidding!!

Totally agreed on this. I'll tack this onto some of the global channels I administer, but a concerted "word of mouth" effort will be needed here. Maybe in the week preceding the event, plant a "town crier" in Pocket D for sporadic broadcast advertising?

Hey LSK---the PERC info has been posted on the global channels. I've actually had some people (hi omen) message me for information and some wanted to volunteer their toons or their SG leaders to be auctioned off! (Hi Chaos!).

I've referred them to your global, but i hope they'll see this thread and post any other questions they may have!

Start saving up Morna, J-Man and I are going up as a duo, but we can make sure some J-Force debt runs are offered as well.

I'll be helping out LSK, but sure... throw in a free Bunni in with the Trix and J-Man... or heck... offer up a Bunni in general.

Turg is going to be representing the Freedom Horde group of players for an auction. I think the plan is to offer the winner a spot on a Horde style, smash and bash and fight our way though the nuttiness TF or SF of the winner's choosing. But there may be more to it than that. I'll let Turg give the specifics.


46 Toons on Freedom, 1988+ Levels, 17 Level 50's
The Freedom Horde on Facebook
Globals: @Luna de Nocturne & @Luna Moone
Luna on Facebook (Feel Free to Add!)

To clarify (JSK hasn't updated his list yet):

I will be representing the non-SG affiliated casual player group, "The Freedom Horde", to submit ourselves for auction, offering a Horde-quality run with any TF or SF of the player's choosing. This can be several runs, to total the approximate 4 hrs' worth as required by the auction rules. Or, for however long you can stand us.

So, if you've never heard of the Horde, and want to find out what we're about, this is one fun way to do it!

OK just a few more days and I would like more ppl to sign up if possible.

Just a reminder that this is TONIGHT! See you all in Pocket D!
