The Justice Island brick is just damn right awesome!

Used to own the waterfall small spot. Great spot for some quiet fishing, very few folks ever go there.

And I've had a character with a small deed camping outside the Wind small for months, so I suppose I have to vote for that

Third vote would be Blanche Island - I'm an antisocial sort sometimes.

I used to own a Mag beach house. Anyone know who owns those currently?

$$$ owns 1, 2, and 4. Guild WL owns 3. According to the signposts at least. The first one is the only one that looks like it's actually being used.

I must say, I am surprised that the Wind 7x7 is getting more interest than the Blanche Island 7x7.

I remember the Wind house selling for 250k or less 6+ months ago. Thought about buying it but already had the 4 smalls on Eiffell island and didn't want to be a hog. I was surprised it went that low. I ended up giving away Eiffel island to newbies and happily bought the Blanche small for 2 mil. I'd expect the Wind small to go for about the same. Justice island would be my favorite spot but I don't like large bricks.

Yeah, I remember back when I was pretty new (August 2009 or so), the Wind house sold for maybe 200k (highest public bid I saw was around deed+130k I think). And at the time, I think the Blanche Island house was sitting empty with a price tag of 2 million on it. I want to say it took well over 6 months of it being empty before someone (caveman) ponied up the cash the seller wanted. With all due respect, given that you were the only person willing to pay anywhere near 2 million for the Blanche house, my guess is there's also no one willing to pay anywhere near 2 million for the Wind house. But, unique items aren't worth what the average person would pay; they're worth what the highest bidder would pay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winner's_curse

Anyways people discover more and more of the game, there's less and less new things for them to do or get or achieve. So things like your house and the Wind house become more important, I guess.

For fairness you really should have taken all the Screenshots from outside the house. Some people's view might be skewd by the few that you can see the decorations.

Hopefully that won't bias people's decisions; actually the reason I stood where I stood was to ensure I got what I thought were the major features of the land in the picture. But, it's not like there's a prize here or anything... best thing you can win is bragging rights, I guess.

Winner gets:

Acme's E-peen X-tender

"Ables wearer to extend E-peen at any given moment to twice the size of opponent"
Unlimited Use

Caution to wearer - Xtended use of the Acme's E-peen X-tender has caused long term harm to liver,kidneys, has caused blurred vision and in some cases, has even led to death.

I'd personally love one of the houses in Hidden Valley.

Though other ones could be considered aesthetically nicer, or more convenient, I like the location of Hidden Valley better.

im a fan of bank houses,
we need to get a house placed at east brit just for old times sake
