Operation Gambit - Questions regarding rules and regulations

Ph3lan: Hey guys!   Since the auction system can be a bit daunting here is a bit of clarification on how it works in Operation Gambit:   Silent auctions: first of all, the Global Map auctions are silent (secret) ones - it means that until defining the auction results nobody knows who participates in it and what the sizes of other Clans bids are   When auction results are defined: auction results are defined at Turn 1 before the Province Prime-Time, for example, there is auction Province within the 20:00 Prime-Time, it means that at 19:00 the System will define results for the auction.   Tournament on the auction province: after defining auction results the System forms a tournament that consists of Clans that won in the auction + Clans that attacked the auction Province via on-ground attack (moved their Division to it)   Number of auction winners:  there are settings that tells max number of auction winners for each Front. At this points the settings are the following for the Advanced front - there can be up to 16 winners in each auction for the Elite front - there can be up to 8 winners in each auction   How to participate in the auction: there are the following ways to participate in auction: Make a bid (spend Clan's Fame points) which size >= min bid size (at this point min bid for the Advanced front = 100, for the Elite one = 10 000) Buy appropriate technology (token) in the Laboratory. Please, pay attention to the fact that there are different technologies for the Advanced and Elite front auctions   How the System defines auction results: at this point half of auction winners places are reserved for Clans that are going to participate in auction with usage of appropriate technology (token) previously bought in the Laboratory It means that in any auction on the Advanced front up to 8 Clans can apply for auction with appropriate tokens (technologies) and these 8 Clans will become the auction winners in any case - this is one of advantages of the tokens (technology) usage The rest of auction winners places are for Clans that will participate in auction with usage of Fame points. The system defines which bids are winners by the bids sizes. In case if there are several bids with the same size then the bid made earlier will win. There is one more aspect that needs to be mentioned. As I've already told half of auction winners places are reserved for Clans with tokens. In case if number of such Clans < than number of places reserved for them then free places will be given to Clans that made bids For example, there is auction on the Advanced front: So there will be up to 16 auction winners. 8 places are reserved for Clans with tokens (technologies) and 8 are for Clans with bids. Let's assume that only 3 Clans applied for the auction via appropriate token, it means that Clans that made bids will take the rest 13 (=8+5) places in auction winners.
