I'll post the rules first thing in the morning (don't have them with me). There will be 24 hours to respond so there's no time crunch. To get ready, look at the available tiles and figure out which five you will try for.

 

[Shaitan]

The new rules are now in force and this availability is declared open. Available tiles are listed in the second post of this thread. Each player may select up to 10 tiles for this availability. You may post here or send me a PM with your selection. In the event my PM box overflows you may email your selection to FanatikaLand@yahoo.com.

The new rules are updated in the Rules thread and are reproduced here for your convenience (the new stuff is under "Tile Purchase Procedure":

Purchasing Restrictions

• Non-real estate companies may not purchase tiles unless they have a business need for the tile. These companies must then be headquartered on the purchased tile.
• A player or company must have a presence in the province in order to purchase a tile. For players this means they must own a home in the province. Companies must have a business center in the province. A tile may be purchased at the same time that a home or business presence is purchased for a player/company to create a presence in that province.
• The tile that a city resides on cannot be purchased.
• There will be no presales or reservations for any tile.
• Only tiles within Fanatika’s cultural borders may be purchased.
• To buy a water tile you must own land that abuts it on at least one side (no corners).

Tile Purchase Procedure

• New tiles will generally become available the day after the chat where our territory expands. A post will be made specifically opening these new tiles for sale.
• There will be a 24 hour period for interested purchasers to reply.
• Each person replies with the tiles they want in their order of preference.
• Number of tiles each person can list is total available divided by 5.
• The player must have enough cash on hand to purchase all of their listed tiles or their bid is disqualified.
• Purchase list is arranged randomly except all players that have never owned a tile are above all players who have owned a tile.
  Purchases are conducted by going down the list with each player receiving their top available pick.
• At the end of the list the same procedure is followed in reverse order (bottom to top).
• This continues until all bespoken tiles have been purchased.
• A new availability with all water tiles is then posted.
• Players may list all water tiles they are eligible to purchase, in their order of preference.
• As above, the player must have enough cash on hand to purchase all of the tiles they list or their bid is disqualified.
• Any tiles that were not purchased because they were not listed by a player are held over to the next availability.

So if it gets down to your turn and your first and second choices have been taken, you will get your third choice. When it gets back up to your turn again you would get choice four if it was still available or choice five if four was taken, etc. If all of your choices have been taken you don't get any more tiles.

This system allows every person the same chance to get tiles. It favors people who go for less desirable tiles as they have a better chance of getting them. It still puts the people who have never owned a tile at the top of the list. It totally removes the "clock watch and pounce" problem and any advantage the Land Officer may have. It also removes any unfairness caused by time zone issues.

As BCLG100 has already stated his intended tiles I will PM him my choices now. That way nobody will have to worry that I'm making my choices after I see what everybody else has selected.

So i believe the following things also apply?
* we are still only able to obtain one tile per 24h?
* the provinces are now official, so only people living in the respective provinces are allowed to purchase tiles? other have to moove there after the purchase?

The single tile restriction was an editing error by me. It has been removed.
As of the launch of this availability there is still only a single province. For future availabilities when we have more than a single province a citizen will need to meet the requirements of having a presence in any province they wish to buy a tile in.

Quoting Donsig: PM 11/05/02 11:41

Yeah you can post the tile trade. I haven't been in the RPG forums lately.

This transfer has been recorded and will be reflected at the next update.

 

[Shaitan]

Note that you can specify up to 10 tiles in your preference list but you must have enough cash on hand (in your bank account at the time you send in your list) for all of the tiles you list.

Also, please take your time and make a single post/PM/email. Multiple posts and changing preferences will make it more difficult to keep everything straight.

 

[donsig]

Please post the deadline for submitting tile preferences! Could you also post a link the the latest summary so we can see how much gold we have? The demo game itself has taken so much time lately I haven't been here in the RPG forums for a few days!

 

[Shaitan]

You have until around 9:00 AM EST tomorrow to post or send me your preferences. It's 24 hours after The Availability Post.

Account summaries are in the first post of the Bank of Valhalla now so you don't have to search through the thread to find them. (Link to Bank of Valhalla is in my sig).

 

[GenMarshall]

How much does the land at -14, -3 cost? Since I am interested in buying that land .

 

[Shaitan]

Prices for all of the tiles are in post 2 of this thread.

Hi Stuck....I am still here. At present, I will only be providing maps for the land office. Not sure where this one went. I think it was too big. Anyway, my 11th hour picks are:

0, -4
-3, -4
-5, -13
-1, -4
-5, -1
-6, -3
-9, -4
-2, -4
-2, -7
-2, -5

 

[Shabbaman]

I'd like to opt for tile -5,-4 when it comes available. I'd also like tile -6,-3 but I guess that one is already taken.

 

[Shaitan]

I am now figuring the land sales based on posted, PM'd and emailed selections. No more preference selections/edits will be accepted.
