On: My Friends and I Bought an Island

[tedunangst]

Well defined borders. You're either on the island, or not. Neither you nor your neighbors are likely to wander across the border without noticing.

Nope, that's not it.

Proof: Would you get excited about a story of someone buying a five acre plot of land with a fence around it? Or a moat-like trench?

"My friends and I bought 5 acres and dug a moat around it."

Yup, that's a +1 there.

A moat would be kind of cool :)

If you get a moat, I'd also want a drawbridge. And walls. And towers.

There's an aesthetic appeal to natural vs man-made barriers.
