Got it. Thanks. The Eggman also demolished one of my buildings. That is not as bad as building hazard property, but if anyone has anything extra, throw it his way. I also plan to return the favors. I should be doing a lot of building today.

I took a different approach on my 4th turn. Previous three days had similar pattern - buy 1m road, load up with green houses, profit. After three days I had three roads (Old Chesterbrook Rd, N Lexington St., N Utah St.) packed with greens and earning about 3.3m average in rent.
When I logged in today I was surprised to see two local long roads still available. The first one was over 2m (Great Falls St.) and I was surprised it was still around - so I immediately scooped it. Was going to just pack it with houses when I found another local road (N. Glebe) also available for a tad over 4m. So I bought it too, even though it meant I wouldn't have enough money to fill up either road with houses on this turn. Passing on maybe 4-5m in rental income this turn could hurt, but what if Glebe wasn't available next turn? I made a tactical mistake by then building 62 greenhouses and 2 bonus buildings on Great Falls Street - they would have earned much more rent on N. Glebe. Lesson learned there. I'll have 18m coming in next turn, however. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can find a double digit property for sale.

Just big picture here... while it's fun to grab roads that are contiguous and/or familiar, it simply can't be so that there's a shortage of "good long" roads out there to buy, right? If, a bit later, I have $20m lying around (seems likely) isn't there still going to be some 24-mile road in Montana or Mongolia somewhere that I can go buy for a gob of cash?

My coworker is sitting on a demolish card. If anyone needs a bonus building crushed to clear the way for hazards, let me know.

It looks like they are doing something about cheaters. The leaderboard now says Cheater # 1, etc.

Battle for Idaho is underway. Woke up and found INKOM4LIFE had taken down my park, some of my buildings, and sabotaged my 2 main roads.
Fortunately, I had about $4M left, so have been doing green houses to try to get cards. Desabotaged one of my roads, sabotaged his minor road. Still have $3M, but it's going to take 10 days to spend it all with how slow the site is. He has 6 bonus buildings on his main road (?? I've gotten 3 total in the 4 days this has been going), so if anyone has no enemies and some bulldozers to spare... Losing interest overall. Doesn't seem like that much to do.

So I have been pulling chance cards at about a 50% clip. I am not sure how that is, but since the game is so slow, I have been flipping to another tab and then flipping back. I am not sure if that does anything, but my chance cards have increased.
By the way, that might not be ethical.

At what point should I start looking to build bigger buildings that green houses/city centers? I have a road where a cane top will earn $477,000 a day in rent. That seems like a pretty good investment.

The bigger buildings take up more space - so where you can build a two cane tops you might be able to build 4 green houses and make more money.
One other issue with the bigger buildings is that it hurts when your 1m Phoket building (or whatever its called) gets bulldozed but losing a green house probably isn't a big deal. I posted a link a ways back about building ROI - I do think that *eventually* you are going to max on road ownership and have to do something with your money. I think the 500K grid buildings might be my next buildings at that point - their ROI seems solid.

If I get another hazard, I will drop it on there. But I have been pulling mostly demolish and fine cards today.

Hopefully someone can drop a hazard on his street where he earns no income form that long road.

Hazard has been placed on N Fork.
Per the leaderboard feed - he is selling like mad and building to try and generate Chance cards.

The chance cards do seem pretty erratic. I've got (IIRC) six bonus buildings, three fines, 3 cash rewards, and 0 hazards or bulldozers.

This guy is screwed. Instead of demolishing the hazards on his $14mil road, he chooses to attack those who have attacked him. Of course, he could be a part of message board bigger than FOFC, then we are all screwed.

He is multi-accounting. According to the feed, he just bought Grant Avenue and then immediately accepted an offer on it.

I'm finding some real good sites in Northeast Alabama, around the Anniston area. Lots of roads and not many people there yet at all.

Consolidation time.
I just sold three of my roads and their houses and finished development on N Glebe Road. 144 houses, 3 bonus buildings - rent is 29.638m.

INKOM4LIFE has bought and sold three roads in the past 15 minutes. Pretty much guaranteeing he is going to have enough money to get constant revenge.

Awesome, they just reduced all the rents so they no longer make more than 1x the amount the building cost with no prior warning. I'm glad I didn't sell my streets yet to build houses on my new $10M highway, but by looking at the blog this hurt many people.

Hmmmm, so now what is the advantage of longer roads? Just more building slots? *yawn*
I appreciate the great concept behind the game, but it seems like they just don't know what to do with it yet. |

The longer this goes, the worse it seems to get. I really wondering if we aren't watching one of the larger epic fail viral marketing efforts, at least by a major name. For something that was meant to push a new board game product, they're doing a pretty good job of pissing off (or at least annoying) a hell of a lot of people. Maxmium Monpooly indeed.

I'm out. I tried to do stuff earlier today before rent was collected, but I couldn't zoom in and out, and the site hung so much that I just couldn't shop around for a good street.
