I know it's the 1st day for putting down deposits, but currently I'm *very* surprised at how few people are actually doing so. I found a small plot in an out of the way area and currently it's just me and one other person who have put down a deposit. Fully expected to have hundreds, so at least at this point the odds are ever in our favor... We'll see how it progresses over the next couple of days, but am cautiously optimistic that the chances of getting a house will be higher than anticipated. Beats the heck out of going up against bots and spending hours mindlessly clicking on a placard.
