Alright. Sorry for the delay, everyone. We were having some unexpected connection issues.

In addition to going by this set of standard Monopoly rules, we'll be adding a few house rules for the sake of making everything run smoothly in forum game form. Additional rules are as follow:

--Each player's turn starts after a board update. From that point, the player has 36 hours to take their turn before they're skipped. If a player's turn is skipped a total of five times, they'll have their assets repossessed by The Bank, their property auctioned to the highest bidder and be kicked from the game.

--Open property auctions will be replaced by silent auctions. All players will send a private message to the banker either with their bid or stating that they're uninterested in the property. Auctions are open until all players have messaged the banker or for a maximum of 36 hours. All rent due for property that's up for auction are to be payed to The Bank.

--Rent due to the owner of a property is to be claimed before or by the beginning of their next turn or is otherwise forfeit.

Otherwise, we won't be using other common house rules like having to go one lap before buying property or putting cash on free parking.


Here's a screen cap of the available tokens (excluding the house and hotel, obviously):

I'll take the race car, please. So much nostalgia, and also gives off an halo of power and wealth, which is the most important regarding this game

I don't see anything worth of mentioning in the rules that isn't already present, so for me the game can go on once we've all selected our tokens.

I'll take the hat please. Hat always wins!

Doesn't look like anyone is going to pick one of the two I wanted, so I'll have to make a decision myself. D: lol
I'll take the cat, please. :3 I played Monopoly with mom the other day and was complaining to her about how they never had a cat. Why dog but no cat? It's 2017, and that offends me. Good to see they righted this wrong. lol

My other choice was Tails, but no, cat wins.

I'm gonna be that weird person in board games and choose the iron token.

Also, are we actually going to post here ourselves with something or...? I'm still kinda confused. xD

(also, screw my daily and busy routine for not being able to reply here quick enough. I'll add this to favorites.)

MarioLucarioFan64 - Basically, you're all playing the game, just through me, the banker, since the board's on my end. For example, you let me know that you want to roll, trade, mortgage property, develop property, etc. whenever such options are available. In other words, you'll actually be somewhat invested in the game.

Also, interesting choice. My brother always played with the iron.



And with that, we can start the game.




RNG says EX Palen goes first, followed by MLF, user and Eirinn in that order.


EX Palen : I guess there aren't a whole lot of options at the start of the game. Would you me to go ahead and roll for you?

The race car starts on pole position! (sorry, had to make that joke)

Yeah, nothing else to do by now, so just roll. Let's see how long I stay ahead of everyone.

As a side note, I want a selfie of the players trying to decipher the upper part of the board, between Free Parking and Go to Jail. I swear I'm twisting my neck lol

EX Palen rolls a 7, landing him on the first Chance space. Unfortunately, the card drawn was "go back 3 spaces", putting him at Income Tax... The RNG gods seem displeased.

MarioLucarioFan64 rolls an 8, putting him at Vermont Avenue. Price: $100





Question for everyone: Should I summon you for every update or only when your turn comes around?

EX Palen :
[Racecar]

I went ahead and deducted $150 because I figured you were going to go for 10% anyway. I can't imagine why it would be, but sorry in advance if that was a bad assumption.

EDIT: lol at the thought of everyone crooking their heads to read it. I actually didn't think of that initially. If you like, I can flip the text on the spaces on the top row. It didn't occur to me because I was bored and got used to reading things upside down.

$1,350


MarioLucarioFan64 :

Would you like to purchase Vermont Avenue for $100 or will it go to auction?

No wonder why the day is very cloudy around here, nothing is shining for me right now. Screw lucky 7 and whatever tiny bit of luck I was hoping to have.

You made the right choice for me, because it was the lowest amount. It's the logical assumption by default, at least at the very first turns, but whenever we must decide on something it will be better if the player makes the choice, unless it's extremely obvious what they're going to pick.

I don't mind about the reversed text, seeing how you will always point out where we're going to land and their effects. If nobody else thinks otherwise, we can leave the board as it is.

As for summoning us all, I think you should only summon the people involved in the turn. This turn, for example, it would have been just me, because I rolled the previous turn, and MLF for rolling this turn. Next one should be MLF and Uzar, just so we update on MLF's choice about his turn and let Uzar know of his roll. I don't mind being summoned every time so I get an update whenever a turn passes by, but it will be easier for everyone to just summon those who have to make decisions or have something to say.

Lol i never played real Monopoly in English before so i'm gonna ask what you mean with "will it go to auction"? I'm guessing it's skipping the purchase or so?

Either way, i'm probably either playing wise or dumb but i'm gonna save some money first.

Yes, guys, please inform me of each roll and auction. I wanna scoop up these properties!

I totally want to be summoned every turn if that's okay. I also know however, that it could be difficult remembering who to summon every turn and who not to. I want to be summoned because I could miss an auction, or miss it if someone lands on my lot, or even not know who owns what. For example, I'm slightly less inclined to buy Atlantic Ave. if player A owns Ventnor and player B owns Marvin Gardens, as trying to complete a set by trading with two different people is going to be a challenge.
But that's just me.

As for the text, I prefer it as is. :V

EX Palen : I think you would be disappointed with a selfie of me just holding my phone upside down. lol Finally, an advantage to mobile.


MarioLucarioFan64 : He means if you don't buy it, everyone else gets a chance to buy it now, even without landing on it. We all send him a PM saying what we're willing to pay for it, and whoever offers the most money gets it.

Alright. I'll summon every turn for everyone that stated they want to be summoned ever turn and only summon everyone else when it's important. I can work with that.

Vermont Avenue goes to auction. Winner will be decided after all bids are in or after 9:14 PM server time (CST) on 9/8

A user of this rolls a 6, putting him at Oriental Avenue





EX Palen

Basically what Eirinn said. You can refuse to buy it at the asking price and then it goes to be bid on by every player. You can also bid on it even though you refused to buy it at the set price if you want.

$1,500

Oriental Avenue is $100. Purchase or pass?

I see. My apologize if i'm seeming a bit distracted or so, btw.

m0ssb3rg935 : I'll take Oriental Ave please!

Eirinn wins Vermont Avenue with a bid of $400 and rolls a 5, putting him at Reading Railroad.

Will you be buying Reading?

$1,100

Vermont Avenue

I'll pass. I'm the only person in my family that isn't obsessed with the railroads, but I don't care for them.

Two auctions in the first cycle of turns. If my family watched this, they wouldn't understand a thing

Anything I want to do before my next roll? Maybe blow at the dices and see if this "lucky move" can bring me some good news at last xD

Late reply, sorry. The auction period for Reading Railroad will end at approximately 4:50 AM CST on 9/12.

*Blows dice*

EX Palen rolls a 7, putting him at St. Charles Place. Price: $140.

Don't worry about being late. I've been dealing all day with an incredibly beautiful hangover, so I haven't been able to do much through the whole day.

Lucky 7 for me again, but this time it worked its magic so maybe we should put a "blow dice" item into this game. I'll take St. Charles, and seeing how I still have plenty of time for the auction I can give it some more thoughts after this purchase.
