Hi there, this is my furst post so bare with me
I will make this suggestion for the auction mode "choose while bidding"
So this works only with 4 players.
My point is when u do this auction the last player has somewhat good advantage over rest of the players since he has all the information he needs for his pick so after he picks his chosen race the rest of the players could make a vote each gets one vote with y/n ,y=he keeps his race , n=this race is banned and since they are 3 players u cant have a draw its eather that race is banned or he will play it.Idk if that will help but thats what i come up with.
There can be added option to last player to pay 5 victory points for each "n" he gets, to keep his race so about -15 points at most but i am not sure about this :)
