Why is there a timer on recently relocated plots?

You dont need 4 days to see what plots are available. You also have 5 days of bidding to see what plots are available. There is no reason to wait 4 days for nothing.

You just pointed out the problem that I was trying to express with doing it right away.

If the winner relocates immediately on day one hour one, and some of the people that lost, don't find out till the last day due to RL or w/e... if you had ran the lottery right away they would have roughly 24 hours to scout and find out the new lotto was available, already started and about to end.

Anyway I'm not arguing it isn't frustrating, simply that I understand it. Ideally we would just have enough houses for everyone, but you know .. here we are.

I really don't understand why they can't just let the people that won just go to it at anytime and claim it while restarting the lottery and refund the money to the people that lost on the same day. Is it something that the game can't do because of limitations or something like that.
