I would like to know (1) the pros and cons of turbos, as in, why should we? and (b) Why Sandwolf?

I had to google "drongo" I like it

Hostile, open, notorious, exclusive are thé four elements of adverse possession which someone had brought up.

But I feel that you all are horrible and the motion to turbo shall not pass. It should now be the sworn duty of the HOA to investigate with extreme diligence those who oppose a turbo.

Yeah. I brought it up in the original post with your prerequisite number of years.

Also at least in California you have to pay taxes on the property for the entire time period (15 years)?

We can still try to get a prescriptive easement.

Show if hands here, how many of us drive our golf carts over maers side yard to get to the clubhouse? She knows it and has never stopped us but never gave us permission either. I’m pretty sure we now have the right to claim that side yard as our own legal shortcut.

Now just to memorialize this right of egress with a simple ##vote maer

Personally I have a policy against turbos, it has no bearing on my alignment. I had a bad experience in an old game that soured me on them so I abstain.

I can't really say that I think they are useful either but that's not my argument to make.

I thought I saw that awful child of yours doing this the other day, I wasn't aware of it but thanks for admitting it in this public forum; I'll be sure to put a stop to it.

Also don't think I didn't notice that blue trampoline cover you have over there, maybe you didn't see in the guidelines that there's a $75 fee if your trampoline cover isn't green or black.

Eh turbos can have a place. Like sometimes it can be informative to see if anyones appears a bit self conscious or too overly aware of taking the turbo vote to -3 or -2 by trying to steer it off elsewhere.

Except I don’t really think this is a scum tell. I’ve seen town lunched for not jumping on a turbo, it happened to me last game and it’s happened to mae too if I recall.

Like I said it’s easy for scum to just ride along and use reluctance from other players to fake case work.

I would agree it sometimes provides good content to analyse though

I have no idea how effective turbos are at finding scum.

But they are super effective at having fun.

Also I’m assuming we are in some fancy gated community where the HOA is super powerful and annoying. Hence us getting our golf cart easement over Maers side yard.

This happens because the only real power an HOA has is to fine you for violating the underlying agreement(s), and if you don’t pay they have the power to levy that fine as a special tax assessment lien on your property. And once anyone has a lien like that on your property (HOA, construction contractor, your mortgage, etc.) if you don’t pay they can go to court and, after a lot of procedure, eventually force a foreclosure sale to recoup the money owed.

So basically the only way they can take your house is if you breach the HOA agreement and don’t pay for a ridiculously long time, including through a court hearing with a huge window of time to allow you to pay, and also assuming your property is so underwater you can’t just get a HELOC or some other small loan against the property to pay it off.

But at the same time gently caress HOAs. Even the good intention ones often can be bullshit if the wrong people get in charge and usually only the wrong sort of people want to spend the time to have that sort of power. Condo associations and such are often better if they are big enough that you can just hire someone to be the manager as they usually at least just want to get paid with as little effort as possible and let things slide. Which can also be bad but better than a super strict active HOA

In conclusion HOAs are a land of ##vote maer

More often than not day 1 is a busy for town whether it’s a turbo a well formed case or a last minute deadline swap.

Turbos are fun in the same way a game of chicken is fun. You get mon mentality and watch as people get excited to be part of something.

Plus sand was bitching about not having a quick day 1 so he was sort of asking for it.

But oh no the HOA can’t have fun so now we need to make an even dumber vote.
