Proposal:
I want to propose a warning (popup), which appears, when I bid MUCH more than the latest bid in the Antiques Dealer (something like "10-fold", or better "9-fold")
Reason:
Yesterday I wanted to bid 40012 coins in order to outbid a bidder who's bid was 40011. Unfortunately I had I typo and accidently sent a bid of 400412 (i.e. 400k instead of 40k). A warning would prevent losing HUGE amounts of coins for such typos.
Details:
Example1:
Player 1 bids 40001 coins
Player 2 has a typo and attempts to enter 400022 instead of 40002 coins; i.e. rougnly 400k instead of 40k
--> As of now, player 2 (who probably by far doesn't want to bid that high) "loses" 400k coins; maybe without the typo player 2 would have stopped bidding somewhere at 80k or 100k.
--> PROPOSAL: for such a bid, a warning should pop up "really want to bid 400k? Y/N"
Example 2
Player 1 bids 40001 coins
Player 2 bids 41000 coins (probably NOT an accident; I have seen increasing by 1k quite often)
a second later Player 3 (who reacts to Player 1's bid) accidently types 400022 instead of 40002
--> also in this case Player 3 should get a warning popup "really want to bid 400k? Y/N" (it is not 10-fold of player 2's bid, but 10-fold of player 1's bid, who was outbid by player 2 only a second or so before player 3 sent his bid)
Visual Aids:
none
Balance:
this should not affect balancing. With "usual" bids, players won't get a warning, and therefore are not slowed down during bidding, while players with accidental super-high bids (due to typos) would be warned so that they can correct (if there is still time)
Abuse Prevention:
I don't see any abuse potential here.
Summary:
I propose a warning to give the player the chance to prevent accidental "super-high" bids, which can arise from "fat finger" or "bouncing key" typos (i.e. one digit too much, so roughly 10-fold of the latest bid)
