Bidding System - Specifics

[Micah]

Yes, but at least whoever kills them will get a crappy province out of it this way, instead of one with high population if someone plays poorly on their own...the bid system is also only really useful for competitive play, so new players shouldn't be messing with it right off the bat until they have at least a loose grasp of the power levels of the different nations (that's one of the other concerns I have...people not bidding on a nation because they don't know it well enough to play it, and not because it's too weak, leading someone to possibly get it cheaply, like I mentioned for Rlyeh)
