WhisperzQ: You've decided to do what I have already done and that is stop playing Ponds. We had plenty of this kind of thing way before your little mishap, which after looking at the link to your game isn't nearly as bad as a Pond I was involved in where three people out of the blue bid 1, 2, and 10 while everyone else is bidding in the thousands. The problem with Ponds, and your game is good example of it, is that those bids might actually have not involved any conspiracy at all.

As for quoting the user agreement, I have to assume you just started playing Ponds because this very behavior is allowed by Fencer.

I requested a version of Ponds that would have two teams to play against each other with the game ending when only the players of one team are left in the game. Purposely bidding low to help your teammate would then be part of the accepted strategy. Team Run Around the Pond should be a workable and fun game.
