Please Remove Housing Timers During the Covid-19 Epidemic

Don't turn off housing timers OR extend them; INSTEAD BUY MORE TOILET PAPER!!!

..Says the person using a sock puppet account to post here with an FC that owns like 1(2?) full ward and a bit of another.

Darling, it would appear you do not know what a sock puppet is as there is no intent to deceive. Anyhow, what does owning a couple dozens plots have anything to do with this? At best, you are stating a fact. At worst, you're making a pretty bad attempt at disregarding whatever I have to say, despite that we are taking full advantage of the properties my FC owns, unlike the majority of players.

Yeah, what does one person owning dozens of plots have to do with a topic about the shortage of housing plots?

Well first off it's not one person.

Second, did you even read the title of the thread or the first post?

Third, I doubt you are truly prepared to even talk about the causes of the housing "shortage" due to your premise, but go on, entertain me.

Actually what does that have to do with delaying a timer due to a pandemic?

Can both of you take your personal beef about the housing problem to another thread please?

Well if there wasn't a shortage of houses we wouldn't need a demolition timer. Although more than just house hoarders cause this. Several issues lead to the shortage. SE created an awful system.

There are people who pay subs but never login for one reason or another, or even better login but never even go inside their own house, ever. The system just ensures houses are not dormant since its limited supply.

I'm not here to debate that though, and should be on another topic. I just feel it's not helping and comes off disingenuous when we are actually asking that they freeze the timer due to the virus pandemic.

I know. Not sure what gave you the impression I didn't know this.

I was just pointing out that hoarding isn't an entirely unrelated issue. But I agree it's not a main one as far as this thread's topic is concerned. Debating house hoarding and its effects belong elsewhere.

I am not saying they are incorrect. Covid-19 is indeed deadlier than the flu virus. But look at it this way. If you made a penny a day, and someone came to you saying they are going to multiply your earnings 10 fold. It really isn't that significant of an increase, is it?

Did you seriously just compare human lives to pennies? Think about that for a moment.
