So, I've finally re-read the rules and will now set up the game
Rules below stolen from freegame at viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1010 "Quick rule overview: 1 hidden move 1 open scan costing 2 pt 3 base stones each worth 5pt (will lose 5pt when one gets captures) plus zones are 5pt when played ( bonus will not be lost when stone gets captures. points are only awarded once for each zone) minus zones are -5 points (points only deducted once) each stone on the board is 1 pt (will lose the point when it gets captured) when we have put a base stone on the same coordinate it gets removed and it turns into a minus zone. after we each posted our hidden base they are revealed and we make a komi bet. the rest is like normal go with area scoring."
So, here's the starting configuration. Now, how does the komi bid work? I'm guessing we each post a value in a hide tag and the person who bids higher moves first? What happens in the event of a draw? Do we flip a coin?

Yeah, not sure what happens if we draw on komi auction, but let's not worry about it unless we actually manage it
My bid:
7.5 points

My bid:
10 Edit: I guess it should be a half point? If we're supposed to use half points, I'll make it 10.5 to be fair.

So, looks like I'll go first, with a komi of 10 (or 10.5) points for you. Now to come up with my move.

No need to widen it - it's more than I bid anyways. 10 is fine For some reason I doubt a draw is going to happen :p
Your move then
I have to say that his base is better on this board, but there's also a lot more weaknesses between them, so my position is not as bad as it may appear.
His center stones seem inefficient. I bid high on the komi because I feel that with first move, I can destroy his chances of getting enough territory from his wall. He can try to target my stone on the right, but it has many different ways of living, and I don't think he'll get enough from it.

There are at least 4 obvious hidden move spots on the board, so I thought I'd play it now. I would also like to see if I can bluff my opponent into thinking I have the hidden move in another area and play timidly in that area.

I thought briefly he might do that, but I didn't think he would as it seems too early. What threat could he have made that couldn't be made later? Anyway, I suppose it's best to play a move that solidifies one of my groups without being a pass, and so this move seems like a good move to do that.

Not going to follow up on the hidden move yet (especially because after the last white move there's a connection underneath). This move probably tells my opponent my hidden move is on the left side, but I don't see what else I can do.
