• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
I'm not sure if this could be categorized under "rules", since bidding isn't in the official rulebook, so I'm posting this as a suggestion:
I don't think a player should be allowed to spend excessive VPs (i.e. more than necessary to win) when bidding for the last "open" starting position. Since there are no more bidding actions once each player has chosen a different position, the last person to bid would essentially just give away points to the other player(s) if not bidding the minimum amount.
I just made the mistake of bidding 4 VP instead of 0 for 1st in one of my own games, not realizing the other two players had already bid for 2nd and 3rd. In this case it was an honest mistake, but I could see it potentially being abused.
(And just to clarify: I'm only talking about the very final bid before the game starts. You would still be able to bid any amount while there are other players still bidding.) -

I see what happened, sorry for you. Misclick are always boring ^^
I think I must not disallow to spend a specific/excessive amount of VP, even if it's the last opened position. If a player wants to start with a VP handicap, that's their choice.
The best thing I can do - in my opinion - is to add a confirmation pop-up/step when you click on the number.
It would be a user preference, because confirmations slow down the game flow.
What do you think?
What I'm not OK with is if players were allowed to do this in competitive and ranked play. I don't think it should be up to individual players to decide on handicaps that could affect the rankings.
