Shared Land Buyout System

Preface: Land Extortion. Aesthetic Griefing. Capitalism. Three terms any denizen of these boards is aware of as "hot topics." Typically the response is, "Put your money where your mouth is!" Well, that's the idea here.

The Idea: Each parcel would have a neutral "account" to which residents could donate an amount of L$. When that level of L$ equals or exceeds the price the landholder paid for the parcel, they are notified and the option to be "Bought Out" becomes available to that resident. Should they opt to take the capital put up, their land rights are immediately converted to Governor Linden, and the purchasers are asked whether they'd like to tier this land in proportion to the money they paid into it. On the other hand, a resident may withdraw their own funds from this account up to the point of sale.

Why do this?
To "Put Residents' Money Where Their Mouths Are." This negates the need for a single resident, or group, to take the fall for buying land that they would like to clear, but not necessarily tier vis-a-vis the real dollar impact. Also, since this notification is set to the compensation point as opposed to the point-of-sale, would-be griefers may actually wish to be "Bought Out" at a point much lower than what they're "selling" for. Sure they still "Take the money and run," but the impact is greatly reduced.

Runner: Once sold, stakeholders could then "vote" on whom will tier the land.
