FC lottery question

And so I have a question about the lottery. To enter the lottery for the FC house, you need 4 people in the FC, but what happens if after entering the lottery someone leaves the FC? Will they just throw you out of the lottery?
P.S. My first thread on forum)

You won't be able to claim the house without 4 players being in the FC at the time of claiming.

I don't think that's quite right. FC membership counts are based on characters, not players. So if the FC has 4 characters all belonging to the same player (as a "shell" FC would), shouldn't that be enough?

Yes, should have been more specific, it can be 4 characters all being part of one single account. The FC also needs to be rank 6 to participate.

I believe all they are saying is if during the lottery, that if someone leaves the FC you wouldn't be able to claim the plot as there would only be 3 people left in the FC.

Sad to hear, my friend left our FC because he wants to join a "bigger" FC just in time for the lottery

Could one of the FC members create an alt character to replace the guy who left?

This is an excellent suggestion. As long as the FC has at least 4 members when it comes time to finalize purchase, it should be fine. They don't have all be purchase eligible.

yes only the person who placed the bid has to be purchase eligible. whatever the status is of the other people in the FC doesn't matter.
