Monopoly City Streets

[Acid X]

Thanks, TB! Sorry to hear that you were sick.

If i were sick, i'd probably end up attached to my computer!

EDIT: Sometimes those chance cards are really really bad. Nothing like having 50mil in the bank and then getting two chance cards in a row that, in total, take 32 million from you and set you back from level 4 to 3!

 

[Car-less]

The downside to being sick and not playing? Logging in and seeing that you have 540M to spend! That's 108 Spears!

You mean 60-80 spears after Planning/Environmental/Accounting problems?

I've lost about 100M today to bad chance cards, but still have about the same to spend in the next 50 mins.

I mentioned this in the Premium section, but when I was younger, I'd completely agree with you. On Monday I tried to play some Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and could only muster an hour before I had to stop and go back to bed. In my junior/high school days, even at my worst I could still manage a good 6 hours of Final Fantasy I before taking a break!

I know I'm going to doom myself now, but so far, I've only received one demo, one hazard, one bonus and one $100,000 Chance cards. Like I give a crap about $100,000!

That and I decided to throw down for a bunch of Sky High Towers instead.

That's because you were faking it, TB. You probably barely had any fever.

My wife is a nurse. She won't let me get away with that 🤬!

Or as she put it once, no matter what happens to me, she's always seen worse. Some sympathy, eh?

Edit: or where you talking about when I was younger? I'm sure I never stayed home from school unless I absolutely needed to.

 

[a6m5]

I guess that does make it tough. You are going up against a pro.

I feel for your boys.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

If somebody doesn't know what to do with their demo cards, etc. give them to doublehk and rainblaze. I'm guessing they're the same person since nobody attacked me so far. But they're only level 3.

 

[WallRunner]

I need a Prison Demo'd on Shoal Creek RD NW, game ID is WALLRUNNER (obviously)

I'm trying to get a demo card but no luck right now

Chris.

 

[TB]

You can only demo a hazard on your own road. I just got a sewer works if you'd like another hazard.

 

[WallRunner]

Well the account who did it was named "GILLYBE2" He's basically got the local leaderboards with quite a few accounts GILLYBE, 1, 2 he's had all the way through 8 before.

So if you want to plant something be my guest, but most of his higher rent roads are full or protected.

Also, I just got a chance card saying that I owed MS$0 on improper taxes :S

From,
Chris.

 

[TB]

Sound like we have a new target boys.

Except that I have burned through all my money.

 

[WallRunner]

Well, spent my money on green houses to get that demo, should I just cut my losses and find somewhere else? It was a 10m road but I couldn't get a chance card to protect it :S

From,
Chris.

 

[Car-less]

You have three choices there.

1. Sell it back to the bank for 50% of its total value (and buy it back later as a virgin road for its original price).
2. Have another friendly player offer you a smaller road + cash for it, then reverse the trade in 24 hours.
3. Wait another 13 hours, pass go, collect 1M and continue with the green houses.

Whatever you do, I'd recommend running with 5 equal value roads, so if one gets sabotaged, you can continue building on the others and still get your rent back on those new buildings.

In other news...

The secret to making money is to lay low and be everyone's friend.

 

[GM]

Do I win the award for biggest fine?



Also if anyone has any spare demolish or hazard cards, 'THE GAFFA' keeps getting me although I have no idea who he is...

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

I wish all the streets in the world were for sale. I went to the middle of Russia and theres huge roads out there. Right now I can't find any good streets and I have 106 Million to spend.

 

[Car-less]

I have some roads for sale, but most of them are already filled with residences - and a couple of bonus buildings too. Good rent earners, but not much room left for building.

 

[TB]

Nope.

 

[Omnis]

I'm buying this awesome road near my house. Basically, the monopoly system is accounting for the little feeder roads next to the main road that this road is connected to. So it's becomes just one giant road that goes off in all kinds of directions. Hopefully I can get it after n number of days that a bid stays pending, because it doesn't look like any of the owners of the roads in my city are active.

 

[Nicknamealguem]

I must be crazy. I want a street so badly, I just offered 110,000,000 for it. The street costs 38,870,000, and it has only 7 bonus buildings. The owner doesn't seem to want to sell it, for anything, though

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I got this, followed by a $56m fine several minutes later

I found a way to avoid this problem with the game!
Step 1: have 2 accounts
Step 2: When you get your money make an offer to 2nd account for most of your money (money is removed from your total)
Step 3: after you spend all the money you have in your account go to 2nd account and reject the offer.
Step 3: Repeat until all money is spent

That would take forever to play the game. I'll pass.

I have some accounts that still take a long time to buy and place items and some that go very quickly, by comparison.

All I'm doing at this point is the same thing I've been doing for the past few days; show up to collect money and place Spear Towers on my active accounts.

BUMP

Anybody still playing who needs a target to attack, you can hit PETRIE for me. For no reason at all, he placed a HB on my street that I had just purchased and didn't have time to place any BBs.

His biggest street is Plato St. in California. It doesn't have any BB on it, yet makes him $46.5 million a day in rent. One Demo and one HB ought to do it! 👍

 

[a6m5]

Sorry, Solid. I spent every penny I got on new buildings, but I could not get one chance card to save my own friggin' life! We'll try again tomorrow.

I'll get him, as soon as the server stops to be so slow and buggy.

Also, I never though I would see this:

I laugh so hard at it Specially since the only request I did was to build, or try to build a property...

Edit: I just noticed now that Car-less as shown the same image...DOH!

I'd love to be able to do that, but apparently you can only make 10 offers a day - or at least thats the error message I keep getting whenever I try.
Strangely, I have made fewer than 10 offers accross all my accounts combined in the last 24 hours.

Even more annoying, I seem to have 2 locked streets that cannot be sold or built upon, show up in one players profile, yet rent is payed to another! I think whats happened here is that I made an offer for the streets, then deleted the notification before accepting/rejecting it. Guess I will just have to wait until a week has passed and the offers are automatically accepted before I can dispose of these streets.

I got a new one, and this is on a street only 70% developed...

That is really bad. I would get a "WTF?" face out of it.



Anyway, does anyone know any good 15 – 50 Mil. street?
I only found one between those values, but it was already taken, and the owner won’t sell me for any price. I can only seem to find less than 1 Mil. streets…

Yup. Make WABBIT a good offer on anything except Cardinal Rd or Day Rd. I must warn you though, as usual they are fully developed and protected.

Alternatively, I liquidated a few 'Long St's in the past 12 hours so the bank will probably still have some of them available.

I found some space and placed a sewage works EDIT: and a factory on Plato St.

Thanks for the offer, but they are not quite as long enough. Do you know the names of the other "Long St's" you've sold?

PETRIE won't trouble you no more, Master
