LSJ: Bidding Q (Hostile Takeover, Temptation of Greater Power)
Joshua Duffin
may a player outbid himself (ie bid again when she is
already the highest bidder)?
I think it should be allowable, as there are no card-text
restrictions on how bidding should be done, and as far as
I know there's nothing inherent to auctions keeping a bidder
from changing her mind about how much she wants to pay.
(On the other hand, I can imagine that in cash auctions,
the auction house might not allow this as it could look like
someone's trying to drive up the price for some nefarious
purpose. Which is also the case with ToGP/HT, really, but
I don't think there's anything in VTES rules prohibiting
such nefariosity. The Methuselah playing the card is the
one conducting the auction, but presumably she does not get
to make up any auction rules she pleases...)

Sure. The Methuselah should simply bid the higher price to
begin with, but if later calculation makes her realize she
should have bid higher, she is free to do so.
