FC lottery question

[Edathol]

I don't think that's quite right. FC membership counts are based on characters, not players. So if the FC has 4 characters all belonging to the same player (as a "shell" FC would), shouldn't that be enough?

I believe all they are saying is if during the lottery, that if someone leaves the FC you wouldn't be able to claim the plot as there would only be 3 people left in the FC.
