Unless Mike and Jake have discussed it, I'd say we haven't ironed out all of the details of the "yellow flag" period. My opinion on the various issues raised:
Players already sold: I would agree that nothing should be done about the sold players. While I think it almost criminal that Deuce sold for only 2400, I think it would be unfair to undo anything at this point. I would take the responsibility on myself that I personally wasn't watching the situation close enough to see that the Wyverns had been absent.
Status of bids once we resume: I would be in favor of keeping the current timetable of bids once we resume. I do not know the difficulty of doing this. I would suspect it would be no more difficult that having all bid timeframes start from scratch.
Notice to the league: I would hope that this thread is enough of a deterent to keep people from bidding. I suppose other people browse the board differently from myself, but I always check the new threads, so hopefully everyone will see this. We can also delete posts if someone bids eroneously. The link from the website to mail all ownsers doesn't work with my email system, so anyone else who cares to do that can, in my opinion.
It is going to take an uknown amount of time to find a replacement owner. It would also be fair to let them have some time to familiarize themself with the league, etc, so I think we have a while to work out the kinks. I also think we will give ample warning to all owners once we are ready to go again (say, once we have a new owner, to email the league and let them know bidding will resume on such-and-such date).
