Please more housing wards soon. And no more FC/Private Hybrid.

That is not the same thing. "You have zero chance unless you have 50 members" is not the same as "you have less of a chance with one member than someone who has fifty". What you're suggesting now would completely remove any chance at all for a small or solo FC to bid, regardless of any other FC's interest in the house, rather than making their chance very small in the case of a large FC wanting the house.

Do you honestly think those are the same things, or are you deliberately making an exaggerated bad faith argument?

So, what chance would someone bidding with a 10 people FC for example, have agaisnt another bigger one with 56 bids, is that fair ? Do they not deserve to bid on the large fairly and have a decent chance to get it because they're a smaller FC ?

A slightly better than 15% chance if they used all 10 bids. What about that seems unfair?

E: And we should remember the realistic context, too: we're in a world where FC smalls frequently go for single bids on all but the single most demanding server in the world (and even there sometimes). Nobody's throwing in a 56-bid saturation attack on every single small that exists.

That they have quite literally no chance to get it because they are a smaller FC, which is why it should be 1 bid per FC, that is equal and fair. The amount of members shouldnt change anything about the bidding process.

If 15% meets your definition of "literally no chance", then I'd like to recommend a course to you.

So you want sub farms to have equal chance to 56 person FCs? Is that what I'm hearing? Why do you want to support RMT?

See, I can make a baseless appeal to emotion too. Now tell me why you want the same person to be able to own the entire ward with their shell FCs. Why do you want to support that?

The hell is that for an exageration xD we are talking about a single house and fcs have an equal 1 bid on each, apparently that somehow removes all the competition and there will only be 1 bid on all the houses from the same person and it will obviously be for RMT ?

Are your reading comprehension skills so poor that you don't realize that I was making a deliberately bad argument and comparing it to your tactic of using "fair" to push your opinion as the only possible way of thinking?

Apparently so. I'm out. Call me when you have a better grasp of things like 7th grade math, as evidenced in an earlier post.

That's exactly what I said, you exaggerated it to extremes and its absolutely ridiculous

We can put it to the other extreme then, if an FC decides to bid with 200 bids on a small, is that normal too, especially in unrestricted ward with other people bidding on it as personal ?

They do deserve fairness. And 56 people having a larger chance than 10 people is fair, because the larger chance should go to the larger group. This ensures that the largest chance of making more people satisfied with the outcome is achieved.

Or maybe we can both admit that "fair" is a subjective term and stop using it in an attempt to guilt people into thinking that your way of thinking is the only correct one.

In my mind, it is fair that an FC may choose where to place a bid. It is also fair that the lottery may choose a winner from among anyone in the bidding pool including those of a smaller FC. The odds may be stacked but will not be impossible.

It is also fair that there is no limit to the number of cycles an FC may bid to relocate in case one attempt didn't pan out. Larges are not so incredibly rare; they are opening more frequently due to auto-demolition now as well as relocation.

It also feels fair to me that if an FC wants to zero in on a plot in a prime location, they should expect to be up against a ton of competition and they have every right to try to stack the odds in their favor the best they can. Effort produces a more favorable chance. All of this seems reasonable to me.
