WowAce

An addon to automate the communication for guild loot councils.

A major pit-fall of the Loot Council system of loot distribution is communication between council members.

This addon creates a voting window for each piece of loot and allows an item to be opened for bidding. Currently allows raid members to link to the raid channel with an item they wish to upgrade with the current item being voted on. Once a time period has passed, no more people can add their bid to the list. From then on council members have another period in which to finish voting.

1. Open a mob, populate the item list
2. Open an item for bidding
3. Auto-close item and move on to voting
4. Close voting
5. Tally votes
6. Repeat for all items

After that, the Loot Master can distribute loot to the winners
