... if they ever existed.
They existed (devs only, I think).
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

t_b_2c47d7 is automatic API bot
m_c_4083cb is human(?)... interesting who is it...

well, for $300 I can prepaid oolite.space on +10 years...
sorry, I am out of game.

I think we have to prepare move all infrastructure to .space :(
I don't think that m_c_4083cb is one of us, well - we know it soon.

I wonder how you can distringuish that.

The value is not a simple domain name. It is a name with history and reputation attached. It will be visited well, so it has potential to distribute advertisements and other stuff. For us the value is comparatively low.

Totally agree here. But then it isn't a too bad name for a space simulation, is it?

A new bidder enters the fray at $406 (and the bot seems to have given up) - what fun!

Oh boy, I'm so watching this during its last few hours. Maybe with a bucket of popcorn for good measure. :-)

wow! :shock: why does it jump from $406.00 to $1015.00 without at least trying to bid $410 or something first? It's like it's put up all its budget in one go, silly bot!
maybe its author made a mistake and set its ai_type to dumbAI.plist or something

I Know! think of all the baked potatoes you could buy for that money. :D Oolite.space is awesome by the way, i think that's a great URL for us.
Looks like bidding ends in about 5hrs, are we all going to be here watching to see how high it goes?
