Every time you buy an ad plot you enable this morass to go on further and encourage some other opportunistic creep to take up the same behavior. Don't let them get that far under your skin.

Someone suggested in a previous post something I have found to work well as a screen. A friend gave me a texture of some clouds with an alpha background, and I put a 100% alpha on the back and made them phantom. Though you can see little bits of the ads between the clouds, they look pretty good and are more natural looking higher in the air than anything else.

True in general.
Looking at it another way, we bought the strategic plots that could be used to block the view of the other ad plots from the road/water. The other plots are then useless as long as the people on the bordering plots also erect screens.
We have the plots, not as some sort of expensive war-trophies or 'rescued land', but as useful pieces of land that can give pleasure to many.

Plus: The group only had just over 200m of unused tier. Those ad plots - now made generally useful - nearly fill it up and are effectively free of tier.


And if I sound a bit defensive on this.....

...... then it's probably because I feel a bit defensive ;)
