New Bid Buddies

We have recently made a change to the way the bid buddies work.

This change takes effect when their are 2 or more bid buddies on an auction.  In the case of 2 or more bid buddies on an auction, instead of 15 seconds being added to the clock for each bid, only 1 second will be added for each bid.

This will allow the bid buddies to fight it out faster and allowing the auction to close faster than it currently does.

If your bid buddy is the only bid buddy on an auction, the usual 15 seconds will be added.

Occasionally, in order to control the load on the server, we may add up to 5 seconds to the counter instead of 1 second when two or more bid buddies are fighting it out.
