Coding out holes in the game is the best way to do things. 
Relying an the admins to patrol is a) time consuming for the admins in question b) unreliable c) only invites conflict
There is no conflict or "I didn't know any better!" excuses with a coded in rule.

You just came to that conclusion? 

No, seriously.  This is an old bug, the fix is known but its an incredible pain that involves re-writing how the game handles free land.
It mostly comes up when people online each other, iirc database calls get crossed and changes get written out of order.
Stop onlining people.

Edit -- also, fix'd.  You and two others had land deviations.

I love you windy. You should bring back the original turbo and permaban Shadow for conspiracy

I've become fairly convinced that the real Snare disappeared ages ago and his account was replaced with a spambot.

Maybe Sevz would like to take a crack at rewriting all the land code to fix the bug?

I guess I could learn to re-write the code Rudder, doubt anyone would let me touch this game cos they like this dodgy mechanics.
Think something's up again cos I'm already on full turns
