I'm all for staff hosted events, and in this particular cases I believe the right thing was done by having a raffle for this players house. However, I believe for the most part the powers that be should let things happen according to how players skills, knowledge, and cunning help them turn out without any "Above" interference.
On the money.
Once in a while, IDOCs get knocked down by staff, from purging inactive accounts. The thing is, tho, when I have 5000 inactive accts to purge it is simply too much for checking each acct for houses; at the same time, we cannot let them constantly accumulate indefinitely. Im going to do one more normal purge and sometime in the foreseeable future work on a better admin tool that can skip accts that still have houses, etc.
So DEAL WITH IT.
hehe.
Even if it was deleted because of bans, the house still doesnt default to staff disposition, unless its a house that can and will cause a PR nightmare, which tearing luna houses tends to generate. There has to be a good reason for us to do this and in my opinion, there is never a reason to interfere (other than a shitty admin panel we need to fix) in cases of normal inactivity / decay.
BTW, when Ronald McDonald starts looking got some psychopathic killer from Hellraiser, its time to stop eating burgers .. and I do so love my triple quarter pounders!!
