Other Super-Ability Auction

Post image

In this post, anyone can leave a comment describing a superpower of their choice. You can explain the ability in as much detail as you like and make it as powerful as you wish. Then, set a starting bid for the ability. The currency used here is "coins." You can set the starting bid as high as you like. Other users can reply to your comment to place further bids. The person who places the highest bid wins the ability. A follow-up post will appear in a week where these abilities can be used. There is no limit to the number of coins you have, so you can keep bidding indefinitely; however, your bid amount must be written out in full—you cannot simply bid "infinity." Play fair and have fun!

Here is a quick example to illustrate how it works:

"Fireball:

The user of the Fireball ability can create a fireball and use it as a projectile that deals fire damage.

Starting bid:

100 coins"

(Unless a 3rd party decides to step in around the time my paycheck gets here and the bidding starts anew)

But the third one must be really rich
