Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

The issue in this picture is that the ward is deserted because no one wants goblet, and these people are taking the plots that no one wants. Which in itself is not an issue at all, there's also PLENTY plots available in that same ward as well.

You better stop talkin shit about the goblet.

Hey I love Goblet, especially 19/49 are my favorites in there, there's that one Roe flexing in front of it all the time !

The "same" FC taking over the entire ward is also a problem in and of itself. But it's within SE's legal parameters, so there's not much that's going to be done about it.

As for the open plots, even if the Goblet is an underappreciated housing district (which it is, let's not deny that, people...), there's also the fact that some of those plots might be open due to relocations. So it's not like every single one is vacant out of choice, some literally just opened up but are locked until the next round. So on that note, I'm giving it some benefit of the doubt.

I posted a while ago that my own FC's ward in the Empyreum, a popular location for housing, had a bunch of plots open. Those likely happened to relocations. So stuff like this is normal, and it's not telling people to bid for them that's going to change it.

Deceptus's post is pointing out at the "same" FC taking over several plots. And if this is possible and a recurring problem in more crowded servers, then it's still a problem, regardless of how many plots are available at whichever location. This could be happening in the Lavender Beds too, it wouldn't matter. The problem Deceptus is pointing toward is this being a possibility to begin with. Not whether or not there are plenty of plots open.



That's the thing. It's within SE's standards, so this can happen without much of a problem.

The real issue is that if this happens in more popular wards, there's just a bunch of houses being taken up when they could house more FCs.

I'm gonna see this thread lack chill again, aren't I?

Except FC's dont want Goblet, as shows that picture, only 4 "real" fcs are in there, while the rest would have been empty without the few plots that the other person took.

Ward 25 has only had one result period so it isn't possible that an fc has relocated away from there. Those plots were uncontested in round 1 and still no one wanted them.
