This is to let you know that as an officer team we have had several meetings to discuss FC housing. Unfortunately , due to the patchy and elusive info provided to us so far, it has been like herding cats to try to formulate a plan. This is why nothing concrete has been posted, which I apologise for sincerely!
We start our meetings off well and decide to start at the beginning, choosing an area in which to settle. (Seems to follow logic, right!) But none of our players are able to see the finished housing tour vids of the three areas...so how can they vote if they have not seen the end product???...So we shelve that idea and place it in the "awaiting further info pile". Voting pending.
Then we move to the next order of business: how much money we need to invest, and how we split that fairly between players? Again SE thwarts our endeavours, you guessed it, we shelve the price issue and place it in the "awaiting further info pile". Price determination pending.
We get a little tricky and think, ok, we could maybe look at the size and positioning of the house....but without plot maps and prices, we cannot get an accurate idea of what we are dealing with....and once again the "awaiting further info" pile gets another item added. Plot location and size pending.
Looking to the positives we do have two things on the "decided" pile: we will have a house for Echoes FC, and those who wish to help us buy the house will have control over how the house is decorated and the furniture we put in it. The rank for this is all set up ready and waiting. (I just had to get ONE thing ticked off the list!!!)
I thought I would give you all an insight into the process, and let you know we are eager to nail definites and reduce our conjecture and pending pile of "if, buts and maybes" as soon as possible! I want definites and ticks on my list!!!!! It is what I do!!!!
For this reason we will start the voting with what we have, and add info as it happens. This leaves a very short lead time before the patch, and reduces our scope for input from all of you. I wanted to discuss this for weeks and be sure everyone had a say.
Keep your eyes on the forums in the days leading up to the patch, because we may have to make last minute posts so you can add your two cents.
Please understand that we realllly want to move forward on this. Yoshi P has other ideas and is leaving us in perpetual housing limbo...hopefully resolved soon after the next live letter on 14 December!!!!
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding!
