Dramatic SFB: Age of PFs

[Drew Klenotic]

Ok.. I was starting to think I was just crazy... but I'll be honest, 
I've seen this a few times too.... Where I could swear I bid to a 
scenario, but the ship showed up in another... and I'm like "why did I 
bid a ship to a scenario with a 45ep reward and not the 120ep???"

This has happened a few times.

Just for the record, I'm perfectly fine with you keeping the win even if 
it was a mistake (or some other error)... I was just confused that the 
ship didn't show up under "Empire Name Lyran" where the bid ships 
usually show up.  It only mentions the dragons.
