Bry: The problem with someone who bids 0 should be the same as a resign, is lets say the lowest person on the list only has 200 points left. So of course, everyone else bids 201. But they decided to resign - leaving everyone with good 201 bids to fall into the pond. So that is not fair either.

Just bid 0 or 1, and don't tell anyone. Telling anyone is cheating. I don't know this "Scooter", but what he did is cheating in my opinion.
