Wasn't the system already discouraging FCs from bidding on multiple plots? I thought I'd read people were risking forfeiting the whole deposit if the FC won multiple houses and didn't want the second one.

I still don't see the need to demand this simply on the fact that some percentage of people are complaining that they got a zero. There are naturally far more people going to speak up about their lottery producing a zero than any other number, and even if you could get all the stats about what number was rolled in every single lottery, it definitely is going to look skewed because the rolls aren't all on the same range. You would likely see more zeroes and ones than twos, and more twos than elevens, and more elevens than thirties, just because less plots have that many people bidding on them.

There'd be just as much chance of the lottery looking like this, minus the zeroes and mass complaints about them, if things had proceeded normally. Would you feel the need to demand the formulas then?
