Now I'm not sure where this belongs out of the Flood or Community forums, but it's about the charity auctions so I'll throw it in here:

I've noticed that the bidding history of some of the items have been boosted by certain individuals, who are actually bidding against themselves. Case in point: the Covenant cruiser concept. I'm glad to see it's going for such a high price, but something grabbed my attention in the bidding history:

So why is this person not only boosting the price against themself, but also making it more expensive for others unnecessarily? This is the same across almost every item up for auction. What gives?

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

Huh. Interesting. Wasn't there a problem with the last batch of bidding that was something like this?

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Being the optimist that I am, I'll just assume they wanted to give as much money as possible to charity.
