@Pharoah is a newer addition to the shard, runs the undead and has NOT bidded/has not posted in this auction. he sometimes plays with BoW @Phaero is an older player, different guy, similar name, no afffiliation with Bow, bidding on the property. Two different people, joined the shard years apart. slightly similar names, no tomfoolery going on.
I've removed this bid as it was posted from an account, that is linked to another account currently active in the trade forums. This account has had its ability to post in trade forums disabled. Players are free to use a secondary account for trade privacy. But you cannot be active in trade with 2 accounts. To be clear it was a legitimate bid, however it still violated the multi account rule. This player is not associated with the seller, and has been directed to message the seller with his bid as a private bid instead. The additional account in question was not active in this post. A side not for other posters here. If you post a bid you have no intention of following up on. You can lose your access to the trade forums on a permanent basis. All players should be prepared to pay up at the time of posting their bid if they win the auction. I have advised players that are concerned about fake bidding, friend bidding, or other activities to simple allow the bid in question to win the auction and report any false bids to the moderators. We will take the appropriate action at that point. That said there is no need to derail a thread in progress with accusations or innuendo about <X> doing <Y>. Allow the actions to play out and assume that if a fake bid wins an auction the moderators will address it. And for opposite situations where there is a concern that a seller is using friends/guildmates to inflate an auction the staff will occasionally step in and force a player to verify their bid in intense situations. Please leave that to the staff and do not air out accusations to derail a sale. Reporting it is fine, slander is not.
I have asked Carl to reveal himself for the sake of the auction. I hope all parties understand. Thank you @Chris
