random timer being far longer than 24 hours

What at all do you mean by this? I do not troll, and certainly don't proclaim myself one. You've mistaken me for someone or something.

For what it's worth, my entire reason for responding to you was getting rid of misinformation. To my knowledge, and the knowledge base of a discord of 6,000+ people dedicated to sweeping for open plots and watching them for relocation, the timer CANNOT be longer than 24 hours. A 35 hour timer is 99.9% chance the product of a relocation and actually 2 timers each between 8 and 24 hours. Your story about a 35 hour timer is almost certainly false.

A half a handful of people have said they've seen timers over 24 hours, but people also say they've seen Nessie and Bigfoot.

"To discourage the resale of plots, any plots relinquished by owners will be unavailable for purchase for a limited time.
* During this period, said plots will still be available for relocation."*

The exact nature of the timer has never been mentioned. Logically it follows there would be no reason to tell us if that exact nature changed at some point.

"A limited time" through observation seems to be 0-24 hours, supported by the fact that many houses sell out between 10 and 14 hours old, which is the top of the bell curve for a 24 hour period. If any plots are getting older than 24 hours, its fewer than one percent of one percent of all houses. And suspiciously the others are all statistically behaving as if they operate on a 24 hour timer.

That Said timer, should never ever be mentioned to anyone, as people would flock to it when the timer is expired, it make any sense? However the timers should have different timers given on random.. between 24 to 144 hours totally random.

As said you can freely relocate to that house plot, but that does not mean that a house plot would be lost it would just become available elsewhere, however would not mind the suggestion that it should copy the remaning timer from the plot that it was relocated to.

it does it takes the timer for the devaluation from the old one but sadly not the random timer left over and if the devaluation was worth more i think it would soften the blow
