"Secluded homes"

*ENRAGED*

I cannot understand how my definition of "secluded" can be so drastically different from others. Sometimes, when I'm really angry, I want to reach through my computer monitor like its some kind of portal, grab the guy on the other end by the collar and shake the hell out of the him. With spit shooting out of my mouth I want to scream right in his face... "Theres a bigass tower right behind yours Bro!!!" , "It fucking says SECLUDED right there in the TITLE!!!"

And this isnt just directed at the most recent example, its directed at all the big names that do this shit.

Because of the population decline, there should be secluded homes everywhere but thats a whole other issue that gets me almost equally angry.

If you want me to post examples of what true secluded homes are , I will but im sure you guys can figure it out....


*calming down*



Im really not a jerk IRL, but if im forced to click on another secluded home link only to see fucking houses everywhere in the overview, well then, i dunno what im gonna do, but its gonna be violent

  • -a mongbat (pictured here)
    -lizardman x~5
    -alligator x~3
    -Lambo & Miller when Miller showed me the house to offer as a trade
    -Miller traded it to me

Personal criteria for secluded tag consideration:
  • -(of a place) not seen or visited by many people (check); sheltered (check) and private (check).
    -synonyms: sheltered (technically, check), private (check), concealed (check), hidden (check), unfrequented (check), sequestered (check), tucked away (check)
    "a secluded little park" ("a secluded large tower") (check)
Times you can eat a bag of dicks:
  • -All of the times

I believe when sellers proclaim their homes secluded, it USUALLY means no other homes/homeowners for atleast 1 or 2 screens. But inactive neighbors could also give a large sense of seclusion. It's the buyer's responsibility ultimately. They can say "secluded tower on an island with lich spawns on top of a volcano!"
If it ain't and you still buy it; that's on you.

I'll chime in on this because I found it funny.. What about "gate house" home sales? Look at the pics and the house is 5-10 screens away with a UOAM in zoom out mode. People will say anything to get someone to click. My definition of a "gate house" is within one screen. k thanks.
