Whenever I receive multiple bids, I will deleted the older versions so that the latest bid I have from you is the only one I look at when I do the bidding.
Also, so you know I run the bidding just like it is in the normal game, and make up a little grid to put everyone's bids in. The first card up for bid during a turn is bidded first by the player in storm order, the second card up for bid is bid by the second player in storm order. If a player has a full hand, I skip over them.
Full conditional bids are allowed:
Examples(simple to complex):
Bid 4
Start bidding at 2, over bid by 1 to a maximum of 8
Start bidding at 2, if the atriedes bids on it, over bid them by 1 to a maximum of 9, otherwise a maximum by 1 of 6.
