End of Lightning Round + Other Things
Hi, all! A few announcements:
1) The lightning round is now officially closed. Thank you so much for your participation and generous support! Per the timetable, any offers/bids that are made after Sunday, May 8, 4:00 PM (UTC/GMT+0) will be automatically discounted and screened. (For clarification purposes, this means any offers/bids timestamped at Sunday, May 8, 4:01 PM (UTC/GMT+0) and onwards will be discounted and screened.)
2) To lightning-round offerers and winners: Please do follow the lightning-round donation confirmation procedure. The deadline for both lightning-round donation confirmations and late first-auction-round donation confirmations is Sunday, May 22, 12 AM (UTC/GMT+0). (Time-zone conversion available here.) We will shut down all first-auction-round and lightning-round activity then.
3) To first-auction-round participants who have unresponsive offerers/winners:
4) Given the first-auction-round's extraordinary success and the lightning-round's sizable participation, we will not be hosting a second round. This is it, everyone! ♥ Please do consider supporting helpthesouth, which is already up and running.
Please feel free to comment with any questions/concerns you may have! The mods will get back to you ASAP. :)

3) To first-auction-round participants who have unresponsive offerers/winners:
- To offerers with unresponsive winners: If your unresponsive winner is the only winner, you may choose to discount his/her bid and cancel your offer. Please do send a message (via PM or email) to the unresponsive winner stating as such, and PM the mods (hesselives, carolinelamb, & tucuxi) so that we may update the spreadsheets accordingly.
If your unresponsive winner is one of several simultaneous winners, you may choose to discount his/her bid with no obligation to fulfill your offer to said winner. Please do send a message (via PM or email) to the unresponsive winner stating as such, and PM the mods so that we may update the spreadsheets accordingly.
If your offer had more than one bid, then you may choose to discount the original winner's bid and designate the next-highest bidder as the new winner (if you have not done so already). Please do note the late donation confirmation deadline. - To winners with unresponsive offerers: If you have already confirmed your donation here, you may choose to forfeit the original offer and seek a replacement offer here (per our previous announcement). Please send a message (via PM or email) to the unresponsive offerer stating as such.
If you have made a donation but have not yet made a donation confirmation post, please do so ASAP here. You may choose to forfeit the original offer and seek a replacement offer here (per our previous announcement). Please send a message (via PM or email) to the unresponsive offerer stating as such.
If you have not made a donation, you are no longer obligated to do so. You may choose to forfeit the offer, in which case, please send a message (via PM or email) to the unresponsive offerer stating as such and PM the mods so that we may update the spreadsheets accordingly. Or, you may choose to donate the amount of your final bid on the original offer, confirm it here, forfeit the original offer, and seek a replacement offer here (per our previous announcement). Please send a message (via PM or email) to the unresponsive offerer stating as such.
