RNG Fairness

[Nihility]

theoretically since every ward is and was on lockdown for the lottery to start they could just roll back the entirety of all housing districts

I said it elsewhere but every choice they have to repair this is a bad one

rolling back all the housing wards, which should 100% be possible for any game company, upsets the lucky few but with the 0 in place even the winning lottery tickets are somewhat tainted
having all the zero's reroll will screw over anyone that did exactly what was expected of them since checking the board deletes your ticket and refunds your money so they're no longer in the lottery
just restarting the lottery like nothing happened means now you have basically the same amount of people and many fewer houses so that's kind of super messed up to everyone that got booted out of the first round


feels like to me they need to reset and use the opportunity to rethink this whole thing
like clearly they overestimated FC housing needs to a colossal degree and underestimated private housing needs by like 1000% too
Every housing district being 75% FC from now on is just kind of ridiculous a though too

This is the lesser of two evils in my opinion as well.
Sure, it robs the winners of the plot.
But right now the ones who lost might've been robbed of a win as well due to the 0.
Resetting it would give everyone the same chance as before.
But this time perhaps open up more wards for Personal Housing as well.

I agree wholeheartedly with you all. If people won, and no zero (0) affected them, then no, they should not lose their house; however, what if rollback is the only option?

Just like Nihility said, if a zero was in place and counted as a number in the list, then yes it was tainted. There is really no easy way around this for the devs, but that is why I proposed a reroll or rollback excluding the zero was the "most fair" option.
