This plot of land is not yet ready for purchase.

The key is, and this is where I get a bit frustrated with some of the other people, you don't know the status of that timer.

If the gil number is up there, you know the timer is "sufficiently short" that you can plop a bot there, script the entire process, and hope that, the instant the plot becomes available, your script is the first one to hit.

Without that knowledge, you could be there six months and not know.

With a lottery + timer, each human and/or bot can only register once. The game chooses one person with no reliance on the number of clicks. Just proximity and whoever holds one lottery ticket. It's far better than what we have now.

A plot that is open for 6 months is worse than a 45 day demolition timer.
