Can you maybe describe how their chances are improved when they are already 100%? Because I can't see how it would change, outside of them waiting 5 days to get the guaranteed plot
That was a lot of work I didn't actually ask for nor was it necessary as it's not relevant to my point. You made an assertion that y'all could beat any RMTers to choice plots. I was simply correcting you on that one. If an RMTer wants something, they will likely get it before you do if it's FCFS. That much has been proven over the years.

As I said, I have no stake with OCE. It may be that y'all stay small like that with plots always open. It could be like Mateus on Crystal, and suddenly be hit with a population boom that sees every plot snapped up abruptly.

I just don't trust that SE will flip the switch when they should. They've said before it's possible to change things according to a world's needs, but they never do. Apartments, for example, they said they could increase them if necessary way back when they introduced them and there were so many it seemed ludicrous that would ever be necessary. But, Balmung's fresh out of apartments atm, and it's happened two other times. Happened once on Mateus, too. Despite saying they can increase the number of apartments, they haven't and likely won't.

Precedence shapes my opinion on this one.
