it was an expensive chance. almost 6 million this year, with a chance to get 5 million next year. You can buy 5 slaves at the auction for that money, if you wait until the auction is over.

I read this really involved, researched piece on the Monopoly board. It used all kinds of math equations to determine the best spots. Railroads were an overwhelming #1. The reds were 2, orange 3, purple 4, light blue 5….the expensive ones were all last.

yup.
i read the annotated screenplays for the first trilogy years ago, the original ideas, names, etc were not that far off from the quality of the prequel trilogy.
hell, lucas gets the acclaim for the ideas from the expanded universe novels when he has no part in what the authors come up with, beyond rules about killing major characters.

Railroads have best value in terms of payout and red are most landed on due to times people end up in jail and coming out off of jail. Kentucky is the #1 landed on spot.

That is one of the great things about the game, IMO. You can make your own business deals.
October 28th, 2011 at 9:58 AM
all the house rules
The house rules I find to be the most contentious part of the game. I always play no limit on hotels per space, a limit on hotel’s would be a limit on capitalism and antithetical to the game.
October 28th, 2011 at 9:59 AM
Putting on regular clothes because I’m an adult
So I can assume you are not going to any Halloween parties?
October 28th, 2011 at 10:00 AM
Well played.

Since I’m sporting a cast on my left arm will tell anyonw who asks that I’m Bizarro Lincoln Hawk who is both a lefty and terrible at arm wrestling…just need to find a sleeveless denim shirt
October 28th, 2011 at 10:01 AM
a limit on hotel’s would be a limit on capitalism and antithetical to the game.
In the offical rule book you can only purchase houses/hotels if they are avaiable. So late in the game if there are no hotels/houses you cant do anything. Everyone has different rules. Growing up I played if you landed on go you got $400.

I would let people put as many hotels as they want, because beyond 3 houses, it’s a waste of money anyway (except Purple).
October 28th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
Great ways to play Monopoly:
Shuffle a few properties to everybody before you start
Allow people to do double Hotels (cant go 1 hotel and 1 house, has to go from 1 hotel to 2 hotels)
Buy an extra board and then plow all the extra hotels/houses into 1 board
/jail is the best place to be late in a game.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
yeah, Kirby was my favorite player growing up, probably still is my all-time favorite. I choose to remember him for what he did on the field and that’s about it.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
Going to one on Saturday night
So you are going to a Halloween party with no costume?
October 28th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
ah, you played by the “1% rules”.

Goddamnit, CJ. Stop being so damn lame.

This x 1 million. The 2 to 3 house threshold is paramount to winning in monopoly. Don’t even bother with 1 or 2.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Ark. I just wrote a long-winded diatribe on your question but it got quietly removed. I guess I’ll just say it is that they are horribly inconsistent.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:06 AM
High five for your lack of Halloween participation. Highly overrated “holiday”.

the arbitrary nature of the strike zone is reason enough to relegate baseball to a third-tier sport

The worst card in all of Monopoly is when you are late into the game. At that point it’s a matter of rolling lucky, and you draw the “Pay For House Repairs” card. That has ruined many a game.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:07 AM
I mean too each his own but I’ve never gotten it. Never was a fan of playing dress up. I like candy, I buy it and hand it out, but the whole holiday is just weird to me.

Meh. I’d tend to agree with you, except for the part where there’s women in slutty costumes walking around full of alcohol and ready to make poor decisions. I’ve had great luck on all-hallows eve.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:09 AM

after the chastisement that poor home plate umpire got from Pujols, he decided he wasn’t calling anything low and close a strike.

Random people on twitter is clearly the most representative sample of fans you can find. Also, I’m convinced that you do nothing to bring it on yourself.

A nice excuse for a couple of good parties in college, but that’s about it.

I don’t even think i would consider Halloween a holiday. You don’t get any work off and it’s not recognized by the overnment or any religion. I love it — it’s an excuse to dress like an idiot, drink and see other people dress like idiots. I’m all in on Halloween. I would say it goes:
1. Thanksgiving
2. 4th of July
3. Halloween
4. Christmas
October 28th, 2011 at 10:13 AM
Highly overrated “holiday”.
If you think women dressing like whores, everybody getting wasted and eating candy is overrated what is underrated? Everyone in uniform snowsuits being sober and eating vegetables?

I don’t know. I’d rather throw a party. I seem to run with a crowd that likes to go to bars though. I don’t understand it.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:20 AM
Eh, I was never that big on Halloween, but my kid is at an age where Halloween is a big deal. I like the pumpkin carving and prevalence of pumpkin coffee far more than putting work into a decent costume.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:21 AM

And this is the ass backwards to me. You want to talk about overrated, New Years tops the list by far.

Christmas, itself, is fine.
It’s the run up and shopping and bullshit that comes with Christmas that sucks.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:23 AM
I have a extreme discomfort with receiving/giving gifts which is all Christmas means. New Year’s is a good hang out night minus things like costumes. I don’t go to a bar or expensive dinner.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:24 AM
I promise myself every year that I’ll have my shopping done by Dec 1st. I really need to get started…

Well, yeah. If it was just the day spent hanging out with the family you’re closest to… that would be fine. But driving long distances to see family you haven’t seen in a year, buying people you don’t really care about gifts, the commercials, traffic, shopping? yuck.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:25 AM
I do not participate in these things. Yes, I get weird looks and comments. I also oppose and any all decorations at home which frustrates the Wife.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
1. St. Patrick’s Day (usually falls within march madness, best time of the year, gambling Olympics)
2. Halloween
3. New Years Eve
4. May 24
5. All summer long weekends
6. That first really warm day near the end of winter when the entire city stops hibernating get’s drunk on patios. Also known as tank top day.
