I used to go to auctions just for the fun and the social aspect, and walking away with a cat was just a bonus. Does anyone remember when Callie would show up at random to an auction and rename all the cats things like "GOING HOME WITH CALLIE" ? LOL And I will never forget Sanura's auctions: she'd be so into what she was doing and focused on cats and panels that I could cover her avatar in pickles or cupcakes or kittens and she wouldn't notice until the end... and everyone else would be soooooo patient and not say a word the entire auction except to make innocent and subtle comments like "...I'm in a pickle if I don't win this cat..."
I miss the themed auctions; a few people in the past have done them, such as a retired traits auction or all white cats auction (we didn't have many black cats back then besides the Russian muahahahaha but a black cat auction would be awesome (halloween?) You'd have me there for sure!
(When I cleaned up all those pickles, I purposely left the one that sat in her mouth. The next time she sat down there I got an IM, "YOU LEFT A PICKLE IN MY MOUTH!!" LOL)
yeah I love themed ones...and I do like to mess around...just ask anyone who has "fallen asleep" (afk) at my auctions and come back to find themselves decorated like xmas trees, wearing tutu (the guys), woke up in a gift box or whatever seemed fun at the moment LOL
