• Q: If I win the auction, will I have to pay all the amount I left in Your maximum bid?
  A: No; Your maximum bid works as a "reserve". In other words, you will put in the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the house, and then other players will make offers without knowing your limit. If no bid exceeds the amount left by you, you will pay the amount described in the Current Bid; that is, the difference between the Current Bid amount and the amount left in Your Maximum Bid will be subtracted, and you will receive the difference in question.
  For example: Your maximum bid in the dispute is 15kk, but the other player folded with a bid of 13.5kk. So, after the auction closes, I will pay 13.5kk for the house and get back the remaining 1.5kk.

Early Closure

Currently, there is a feature where players finish the house auction early. The !auctionaccept allows the player to accept the bid made by the other participant in the auction. This command can only be used if the player who has the lowest bid in the dispute. After using the command, a message will be displayed informing you what will happen. If the player agrees with the information presented, they must use the command again to close the auction instantly.

For example: Player A owns a house in Blue, and Player B owns the same house in Purple. Thus, an auction will be held between the two for 15 days. On the first day of the auction, however, they talked and agreed that they would not compete, it being agreed that player A will pay 500,000 dollars (500k) for the house. Therefore, player A will bid 500k on the house, and player B will use the command. After checking the information and using the command again, the auction will be closed instantly. Player B will receive the money; and player A, the house.

• Only the player with the lowest bid can use the command.
  
• To confirm the auction closure, the command must be used twice.
  
• If there is any change in the offer value between the first and second use of the command, it is restarted. If so, you need to use the command twice again.
  
• If the player uses the command and leaves the game, it will be restarted. So, after entering the game again, you need to use the command twice.
  
• After the auction closes, the player will receive all the money accumulated from the offers. (If the player makes a bid and then decides to accept the other player's bid, the amount he bid will be returned and he will also receive the other player's bid amount).
