It's not happy, neither is it an ending.

Speaking of Monopoly...I was reading in this magazine just today that had a small section on Monopoly strategies, and one of them was "Stay in jail." When you're in jail, you still get rent from other people landing on your property, but YOU can't land on THEIR property.

Oh everyone I know does that. Except for me. I'd rather take my chances and collect money from Go and chance/community chest.

When you get out of jail, you're a long way from Go...

And how I've always played Monopoly, any money you pay from drawing cards or those "Income Tax" things goes in the center, and whoever lands on Free Parking gets that money. Does anyone else play that way?

That's a fairly popular variant, but by no means official. Also, yeah it's a long way from go. But I'll be that much closer to it than the other people should they fall in jail and decide not to buy their way out early... Of course, I'd definitely stay in jail of a particular person was dominating the field (and they weren't me ) and the risk was too much, but point stands.

Stop with the back and forth posting, guys.

(Geez, all I can do is nag at the moment...)

Um... I'd say congratulations but 500 posts is about as meaningful as a hole in the wall.

Well, 500 is nothing compared to the 38000+ Acmlm had on the old board...and even 1000-post threads were banned for a while there, in the aftermath of the 12/7/2002 spree...

We honestly only should allow thoose threads for numbers that are divable with 5000.

I only made two xxx-posts threads. One 5000 on the old board and another 5000 on this board...

Wasn't it that way on the old board? I remember it being that way on the old board. I wonder whatever happened to that rule... I know it's bad to make them for most things but rules have definitely loosened... And they probably should not have.

Then could I make a thread when my old board posts + my new board posts = 5000?

I would need a total of 1028 posts here before I got a combined total of 5000...more if I went by the archive rather than counting the "lost months"...

Can't belive I never thought of that! Although you do get thrown out of jail after 3 turns :/

I also play by putting money paid to Income Tax and stuff under the Free Parking space (On top of a $500 bonus). I used to always play like that on the PC version, back in the day.

Yes, I've not-so-subtley turned this thread into Monopoly discussion again.

Anymore strategies, Banedon?

Another strategy was that the mid-priced properties (like the oranges and reds) are better than Boardwalk and Park Place because houses and hotels are cheaper, and there are three properties for people to land on rather than two.

Then again, my dad's strategy is to get the two lowest-priced properties and build up to hotels right away...good thing they're right past Go...

Having lower priced hotels will not allow you to consistently get as much money. It's better to buy like one property on those to prevent someone else from getting one. Then go for the bigger monopolies, which you might have to trade for. It seems like the most consistently landed on properties are 1. The oranges 2. The light purples 3. Yellows 4. The reds. I usually go for those.
