[Steel Samurai]

Can I please buy out of Jail on my next turn?

[Showsni]

Sure. Everyone has the option to pay before attempting to roll a double, but if you'll definitely do one or the other it would speed things up if you'll post before your go.

[Ransom]

are we doing the free parking house rule?

ya know where all the penalty money etc. goes in the middle and the lucky fella who lands on free parking gets it?

[CID Farwin]

I'll be scared all by myself, so I'll buy out of Jail, too.

No, I decided no house rules. Unless there's a consensus otherwise...

[CID Farwin]

I'm fine either way, but I'm used to the free parking rule.

[D~N]

Sorry about the delay, but yes, I will buy the property.

[Showsni]

So, my go. Double four; Helm's Deep, which I buy. The five and three; Osgiliath. Hmm... the green set always seems to ruin me... Well, I'll buy it.

Wow, marathon go!

Gap of bloody Rohan. It's Boromir's fault.

[Showsni]

Maybe I should initiate breaks every time each person has had a go, for buying houses, dealing, and whatnot.

[Veteran]

Maybe when nearly all property has gone. I know I'll need to go round Go a few times to build up the funds for houses, providing we're all willing to sell to each other as at this rate none of us will own a colour group.

[Ransom]

sorry... been shopping like a madcat.

yeah ill buy.

[Showsni]

Steel Samurai's go. Double four - that takes you to Helm's Deep, and you pay me £18. Then six and five, eleven; do you want to buy Minas Tirith for £320? You are its king, remember.

Oops, I knocked the board a while ago and put Galadriel in the wrong place - she should be on the Events space in the recent photos. Still, it makes no difference.

[CID Farwin]

That's an advantage to putting everything online.

[Jaina]

D: sorry was sort of offline..not really paying attention. But I will buy it

Edited by Jaina, 07 January 2008 - 11:52 PM.

[Showsni]

I mean £260. Anyway, CID Farwin gets six and one, seven - that's a People card.

"You made too much noise in the Mines of Moria. Give each player £50."

Ouch. That card's not in real Monopoly...

[CID Farwin]

50!? to everyone!?!? Come on, now. I didn't want to; Pippin put me up to it!

[Ransom]

Ill take it.

[SL the Pyro]

Just a side note Showsni, "pay everyone $50" cards ARE in real Monopoly. Search for a card with a single-toothed mailman-ish person running with a paper; you'll find it in the Chance deck. (Some way or another, I'm ALWAYS the first to get that card when I'm playing Monopoly. Bah.)

Also, this is why I need to be more active on the forums. If I knew there was a Monopoly game going on, I most assuredly would've tried to join in. Oh well, maybe next time.

That one isn't in UK Monopoly.

See here.

[Showsni]

Yeah, I know which are real Chance/Community Chest. I played a game of Monopoly the other day - normal version. We played with the "No buying first time round," "Free Parking" and "Double Salary for landing on Go" rules, and my friend Luke had insane early luck - first go, Chance, Advance to Go. Second, Chance, Advance to Mayfair. And then he got Park Lane a few gos later... Plus he landed on Free Parking five times, getting every one elses fines. The only set I got was the brown one...

[SL the Pyro]

Bah, forgot to factor in where Showsni lives. Sorry for the interruption.

Also that's pretty darn lucky, Showsni. You sure he didn't have fixed dice in his sleeeve or something?

[Showsni]

Sorry for the break - I'm back at uni now, so things were a bit hectic for a few days. But I did manage to fit my Momnopoly board in my suitcase, so if you'll bear with me whilst I reconstruct the game...

[Showsni]

Okay, sorted.



Steel Samurai rolls six and four, ten. Collect £200 for passing Go - yay! Pay £200 for landing on a Palantíri - boo!

Jaina rolls double six. One is the Eye, so the Ring moves to Bill the Pony; and Jaina moves to Shelob's Lair, pays £100, and rolls again. Six and four, again with the Eye - the Ring moves to Buckleberry Ferry (flagrantly ignoring the real rules of the game. But otherwise we only get three more goes each, on average.), and Jaina to Bree, collecting £200 for passing Go.
