Due to the random timer, I spent most of the day waiting to see if I could get a personal home on a plot I really wanted but isn't heavily sought for. And then...

Someone came by and said "I want my friend to have a fair chance to get his home so..." and then proceed to relocate their home and then relocate again effectively resetting the timer.

I rage quit and came here to rant. Yes, I know, ANOTHER housing post, but it makes me feel better! Best of luck to the rest of you there's one less competitor out there at least.
