22 Purchasers
47 Tiles

#Purchasers getting first prefered tile: 18 (82%)
#Purchasers getting first or second prefered tile: 21 (95%)
#Purchasers getting 2 tiles (if desired): 22 (100%)
#Purchasers getting more than 2 tiles: 5 (23%)
#Tiles unclaimed (hold for next land availability): 1 (2%)

This looks like a very workable system and was pretty easy to do from my end. I would like any opinions or suggestions from anybody who has them.

One thing I found that must be changed is the money restriction. It is simply too time intensive to try to cross check each person's choices with their bank account. Instead of the up front cash restriction I would like a simple back end restriction - If you "win" tiles that you do not have enough cash for, your purchases in that lottery are cancelled and the tiles go back up in the next availability. Do it twice and you'll be banned from the next availability.

Woo-hoo! [dance] I got my #2 choice! (I would have liked #1, but what the hey!)

It does seem to be a very workable system.

I also agree with your thoughts on the money restriction. This needs to be a simple, easy-to-follow process. Your suggestion will ensure that.

[Cyc]

Well, I'm happy with the selections I was lucky enough to score. I'm not sure how well the entire process went, but it was painless for me. I also have 2 very good tiles. Thanks Shaitan.

 

[Shaitan]

It worked well from this end. With the old system this would have taken several days to complete (due to the necessary limit on tiles/day).

 

[gunning1]

If I can buy -12/-15, when will I be able to buy it?

 

[Shaitan]

@gunning1 - Within the next day. If BCLG100 also responds with a desire for the tile it will be a random lottery to determine which of you get it. If he doesn't respond, you will get it.

 

[gunning1]

Ok, and if I don't have the money, then I would rather take the other one. BTW, how much money do I have?

 

[disorganizer]

see BOV-thread, gunning.

 

[GenMarshall]

Wow, I won three Land Tiles . Ill buy the three land tiles I won and strike my clame .

 

[disorganizer]

a updated map would be nice shaitan :-9

 

[Shaitan]

Donovan will be updating the maps after the water tile availability is complete. We will be updating to be ready for the next availability for the tiles gained with our new city from the last chat.

 

[disorganizer]

why wait? its only 3 tiles. i need a map to go trading tiles... :-(

 

[Shaitan]

It's the water tiles plus the tiles for the new availability.

 

[disorganizer]

So why wait with the map posting? I say again i need amap to view whom to trade tiles with!

 

[Grandmaster]

OK, forgive the person who doesn't understand the buying process.... is it too late for me to buy a piece of land? I don't care what land, it can be any land, I'm just wondering A) if there's anything available and B) whether I can buy now or I have to wait for the next auction.

 

[gunning1]

Sorry, but there is nothing left availabe right now. The next time they will be available, the way to buy them would be to post the top tiles that you like that are available, or PM Shaitan. It is some kind of a lottery who gets them. If there are a lot of tiles, you most likely will get one, but if there aren't very many, you may not get any. I have no idea how they decide who gets what tile if there aren't too many. Maybe whoever is first to ask for it? I'm sorry if this isn't too good of an explaination, but maybe someone can give you a better one later.

 

[Grandmaster]

Many thanks, gunning. I almost get it now....
