    I’m probably gonna get bawled out so badly for writing ‘ur’ on a topic title of all things…

    MrHyde is now banker. But can you trust a person such as he?

    Swenson and I are working out the kinks for a monopoly thread game. If we run into something big and unfixable, this monopoly thread is defunct and you can all go home.

    Rules will be posted shortly. Go to Let’s Play a Game- UPDATED thread and scroll down for more info.

    Already Bagsed:

    1. Scottie dog – The Drunk Fox
    2. Thimble OrkStompa – OverlordDan
    3. Boat Moldorm Picture – Moldorm
    4. Horse One True Ring – Swenson
    5. Iron Amiga Boing Ball – Dan Locke
    6. Evenstar (whatever that is) – RomanticVampireLover
    7. Hat – CGilga
    8. Cannon – Adam
    9. Racecar – Ari [she didn’t have a piece, but she missed out on the horse, so, since I’m in a generous mood…]
    10. Wheelbarrow – MrHyde [I’m not sure about the ethics of letting the banker play, but oh well]
    11. Moneybags – Rand

    If you want a custom piece, let us know!

    The first to bags gets to go first.

    And, unfortunately, we’ll have to format our posts strictly. So we can keep track of everything. Yeah, we can comment, but we’ll also need some order. Sigh. Life sucks.

    Please, please, please, if you aren’t playing, don’t interrupt.
    If you want to play, please be ready to post at least once a day.

    Gosh, so many harsh rules. I hate my status as setter-upper now. Thank goodness MrHyde is taking over as banker.

    Can we introduce our own custom pieces?

  2.  

    I’m not sure. Because if everyone does that, it could get really messy. No limits, and people jumping in all the time.

  3.  
    A set number of places, then?
  4.  

    Can I still have the puppy?

    I call the One Ring if we get to have whatever pieces we want, and the horse if we’re sticking with the originals.

    Oh, and if you don’t intend to be on here like every day, it could get messy if you join… because then we’d have to wait around for you.

    Similarly, I’m going for Moldorm or Boat, depending on whether new pieces are allowed.

    @ Adam:
    Yeah, it’s pretty much bags everything until there’s nothing left. Then we can replace them with The One True Ring, etc. But same number applies. If you’re curious about rules.

    @ swenson, and swenson only.

    “Oh, and if you don’t intend to be on here like every day, it could get messy if you join… because then we’d have to wait around for you.”

    Good point. I was thinking about that last night, and I decided: what you have a 24-hour time limit to post your next move in? After that, you forfeit your piece to someone else. Or you just leave the game. What do you think?

    @Ari- choose a piece! Before they all go!!!

    Maybe if you know that you won't be available for a while and warn everyone else beforehand, you can have your time limit extended or temporarily pass your piece to someone else (a non-player)?

    The Ork hordes must be wiped from the universe as an affront to the superiority of man. Their warlike ways and failure to accept the holy light of the Emperor mark them as destructive abominations incapable of true intelligence. Purge the foul Xenos in the Emperor’s name!

    In this one. It was an answer to OLD’s comment about you being still whispering and his unisex 3rd-person pronoun.
    What IS this new devilry?

    I’m so glad I’m able to participate in this confusion :D

  16.  
    WAITWAITWAIT. I think I've figured it out. If you whisper to somebody, nobody else can see it. It's just struck me that I've been whispering for ages, but I haven't seen anyone else's whispers. I'll unwhisper it.

    That’s why they call it “whispering”. ;)

  17.  

    Please, please, please, if you aren’t playing, don’t interrupt.

    Maybe we should have a thread for people who aren’t playing but want to comment on the game?

    The “Monopoly Comment Thread” or something? So the Monopoly thread would all be about the game itself, no comments, and the other thread would be for discussion on it?

  18.  

    Exactly.

    All right, if the wheelbarrow is up for grabs, I’m taking it.

    (No I'm not going to play) I'm just wondering, how are you going to roll dice?
    •  
      CommentAuthorCGilga
    • CommentTimeJun 3rd 2009
     

    Random number generator?

    •  
      CommentAuthorswenson
    • CommentTimeJun 3rd 2009
     

    Steph suggested simply making a list of the numbers 1-12 and listing our names, so we’d just go in order that way.

    (for example:
    1. Dog
    2. Car
    3. Wheelbarrow etc.)

    Unless we all promise not to cheat and get 12 every time. looks sternly at everyone

    How are we doing Free Parking? The official way? Are we doing the three-doubles-and-go-to-jail thing, or is that too complicated?

    • CommentAuthorMrHyde
    • CommentTimeJun 3rd 2009 edited
     

    I vote we use random.org for our dice rolls and just agree not to cheat. And free parking, I say the fun way: seed $500 and add any fines. Reseed after someone lands and gets it. I don’t see how we could play without the three doubles. That’s just basic Monopoly imho.

    Edit: For turn order, I think we should choose timeslots. Or are we just doing 1 turn a day and not 1 round a day?

    •  
      CommentAuthorswenson
    • CommentTimeJun 3rd 2009
     

    1 turn a day, I think. Or whenever people get their butts on. Timeslots could get messy… especially if people have schedules that change a lot.

    Oh, and if you’re going to be gone for a couple days (or a week, or whatever), I guess you can either forfeit your turns or get someone else to run them for you.

    One turn a day sounds good. Should we have someone to keep track of the deeds? (I can volunteer if nobody else wants to, and if you think we need it.)

      CommentAuthorswenson
    • CommentTimeJun 3rd 2009
     

    We all can keep track of our own, I suppose… oh, but true, we’d still need to know which ones are left unbought.

  21.  

    OK, people are still entering? I can still play?

    I’m so confused…

    Sorry, I didn’t read the edited list. I’ll go with the iron; why not? Replace if with the ball of course.

  22.  

    Would it be possible to post a picture of the board at the end of a turn? That way we would all be on the same page.

  23.  

    yeah, sounds good. This may get pretty dang big though. Like, as in physical size…

  24.  

    Well, you could keep the picture in the OP, and just change it at the end of each turn. It might take up less space that way.

    Aurgh! I think the rules need to be simplified a lot, and banker can keep track of the deeds in the original post. However, I’m actually getting bored of this (!), so if someone wants to take over banker, I’m all for it.

    • CommentAuthorMrHyde
    • CommentTimeJun 6th 2009
     

    I’d be willing to take over as banker / deed tracker but if I were to run it, I wouldn’t go for simplified rules. If anything, adding variants would be more likely. Like allowing liens on deeds or immunity in trades.

  29.  

    Can we declare war on each other? That would be so awesome.

  30.  

    What would we declare war on each other over, though?

    You must get a lot of those jokes.

    Considering this is a persona I’ve only had in my mind for years (obviously from the book) and I only made it real when I social engineered a textpattern account on here from Matt, I haven’t used it long enough to get a lot of those jokes. So, you’re the first.

    Yes, war can be declared. No, it wouldn’t mean anything. Just like in real life.

    So who’s still interested in playing Monopoly? If I get ~5 players or so re-signing up with the idea of me taking over as banker before Friday night, then I’ll start a new thread and start creating the logistics. Otherwise I’ll assume everyone has wandered off to do other things.
