If your clan ship hasn't respawned, ask an Archon for [[ASSIST]] to reload the ship.

	Property owned by a player or clan can be sold or traded to other players or other clans, respectively. Player property cannot become clan property, and clan property cannot become player property. To trade property, the appropriate owner must [[GIVE]] the title (or a copy of the title) of the property to the new owner. Stolen titles are virtually worthless, and simply [[GET]]ting a title will not transfer ownership...the title must be [[GIVE]]n to transfer ownership. Storing a title in a bank will result in the value of the title accruing banking storage fees. This could result in the property being transferred back to the property dealer if your bank funds run out.

[[SELL]]ing a title back to a realtor will forfeit the property at the value of the title you are selling. The original title will be worth the original property value, copies of the title will be worth significantly less, but at least you won't owe taxes on it anymore.

	*Depending on the area's tax laws, owning property may result in an increase in taxes owed. If your tax debt is not paid, a lien will be placed on your property. If the lien exceeds the value of your property, then the property will be returned to the city as payment for your taxes.		*Depending on the area's tax laws, owning property may result in an increase in taxes owed.

Rationale: We don't want players joining property lots (it really messes with the LOTS logic).
	***Room linkage must make sense geographically in some way. Rationale: This is the really strange one. I can come up with an instance of why a room with a WEST exit should be able to connect to the NORTH exit of another room (and have built areas like that), but it really confuses players. Worse, enabling non-bi-directional exits makes for scenarios where players could create entirely random paths (a maze of four dimensional rooms). Limiting this to only bi-directional linkage helps.		***Room linkage must make sense geographically in some way. Rationale: This is the really strange one.

			***Room linkage must be forgiving. If a player makes a linkage that is incorrect, they should have a way of undoing the linkage.
			***The room linkage needs to be future-proof. If players can make any number of linkage changes, then they can make a valid linkage change, delete a linkage elsewhere, thereby making the new linkage invalid.
	***The final map of the player's lot must make sense. Rationale: Using builder-domain skills should result in rational floor plans. This last sanity check is the one that gives us the greatest heartache, since it is hard to define. "MUST MAKE SENSE" isn't something that can be coded, so we need to work on this definition so we can code something that does make sense.		***The final map of the player's lot must make sense.

			*We are still looking for a valid design solution to solve the player-based linkage of rooms on their property, such as a secret passage way from one room to another, that bypasses a room in the middle of it, or to relink snowflake rooms so you can have a circular flow. However, there are many constraints that we wish to adhere to, so that players don't make tezzeract-style homes that make no logical sense of how they interconnect. If you think you have a good solution, please submit an in-game IDEA stating your proposal.
			**Constraints list and rationale:
			***Room linkage must be to another room in this area. Rationale: We don't want players creating teleport gates with ordinary builder-domain skills.
