Ideas for fixing house ownership

[Dustytome]

Just have it run the function that checks to see if a person would qualify to purchase an fc house before leadership is passed on. If they don't pass the check, leadership can't be passed on to them and if no person qualifying for leadership is left in the fc, the plot no longer belongs to that fc.

I think that is a reasonable approach and I thought was the original intent of the ownership rules.

How can you not believe what they've said? That's exactly what the game allows. 1 house per FC. In my case, 22 FCs for 22 FC houses.

I think you guys are talking past eachother. Elamys means it is the almost always the same person or persons (i.e. a single account holder) with multiple characters holding multiple FCs, not one FC with multiple houses. I'm pretty sure you already knew that though, and were just being pedantic because you were trying to make the point that you didn't technically break any rules, which you didn't. I do feel it's worth pointing out that SE has tried, granted unsuccessfully, to curb single account holders using shell FCs to hold multiple houses across their FCs.

On topic, I personally like Dustytome's very simple, very effective suggestion:

I know exactly what they were trying to say. I was just pointing out that FCs are separate entities, regardless of their stance on what is acceptable and what isn't. Bump that to 23 as of a minute ago

Also, Dustys' suggestion is very easily bypassed. I mean... deleted characters still count towards the total amount of members

I'm not sure how that would enable a workaround, unless you are saying that a deleted character can still hold the leader position of an FC. If that's the case, that sounds like a bug that needs addressed regardless of the housing situation.

Different chapters of the same organization are still the same organization.

How far does the rabbit hole go?

Too bad the rules don't agree with your logic. Tragic.
