Monopoly City Streets - Page 5

PineTar · 09-21-2009, 10:22 PM

and so far, I've chalked up $4.5MM in fines (about 1/3 of the way through my turn, though at this rate maybe closer to 2/3)

Toddzilla · 09-21-2009, 10:35 PM

I'd hope that - in the spirit of Monopoly - you'd get some kind of bonus multiplier when you bought streets that were next to each other...or at least streets that were the same color.

QuikSand · 09-21-2009, 10:43 PM

This game is in real need of a reworking (and not on the fly). I'd like to think that you could make for a pretty interesting game based on something like trip generation -- making the more-traveled streets more valuable for that purpose.

I'm personally not all that wedded to the original Monopoly and connecting this game to that, but in general, the idea of playing some sort of buy-and-build game on a real world map is brilliant, and I wish the execution could live up to its vast promise.

Subby · 09-21-2009, 10:47 PM

3.8m in fines pretty much killed my turn. \

I was able to buy a 4m road (W&OD Bike Trail) and add 91 houses, but missing out on 76 potential houses is going to cost us.

Should get 17m for my next payment. Didn't get a single hazard card tonight.

Huge +1 from me.

BillyNYC · 09-21-2009, 11:17 PM

Sudden rule change hurt me, as yesterday bought an interstate for 8M and put 131 (yes, 131) houses on it. Mostly green. Was supposed to have like 80M rent, instead got 18M. Big difference. Of course, with slow server speed, I still had $3M left from yesterday and don't see much way of spending $21M (besides putting a few of the most expensive buildings up...which makes no sense).

If server speed doesn't increase much soon, I'm done also. Can't even look for roads, much less do anything.

Shit, how long did that take you?

I finally gave up and started building $300,000 houses just so I could spend all my money and not be there forever. Still, I spent over 2 hours yesterday playing. And, that was not a fun filled 2 hours!

Subby · 09-22-2009, 08:48 AM

SOULCRY is in full destruction mode. Can't tell if he is multi-accounting or not.

On my very last build in this turn, I got a prison card. I'm holding it right now. If someone can knock down his protection buildings, I'll gladly put it on his street.

PineTar · 09-22-2009, 09:11 AM

I can do it Ben - hop on to the FOxL lounge to coordinate

Coffee Warlord · 09-22-2009, 09:13 AM

SOULCRY's park on North Street has been demolished

All:

We just tried to coordinate, and I think we learned that a prison takes up more room than a park.

Coffee Warlord · 09-22-2009, 09:25 AM

Got my 2 coworkers who play here trying to get demolishes as well.

Coffee Warlord · 09-22-2009, 09:28 AM

Nuked one of his houses, still no room for the prison.

Ben E Lou · 09-22-2009, 09:28 AM

It would be kinda fun if one of us stumbles onto an alliance of similar size, causing a massive hazard and demolition war to develop. Otherwise, I don't see me continuing in this for much longer...

Coffee Warlord · 09-22-2009, 09:33 AM

If the server was faster / had a more sane interface / had less stupidity / had less cheating, it might be different. I'm sorta in agreement with you.

Castlerock · 09-22-2009, 09:47 AM

demo'd one of SOULCRY's houses and he now has a nice prison.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-22-2009, 10:06 AM

Scratch another SOULCRY house

I think the multiplier for streets over $1 million is gone. At least that is what someone was complaining about in the blog.

Subby · 09-22-2009, 10:58 AM

Right but now my property cards are showing higher rent again...

JeeberD · 09-22-2009, 11:24 AM

I've also got a prison available if anyone has a place for me to put it...

Subby · 09-22-2009, 11:34 AM

Allegedly you can sell your street with all of its property and get paid for the buildings, too.

Then you can buy the street back and all of the properties will still be there but any hazards will be gone.

Not going to try it, but just another gaping hole there.

If that is true, I am done. No way you should be able to do that.

I thought you get half of the value back.

I need to declare war on JHOR, the local leader. If you got an extra card, destory his bonus buildings.

I didn't test it with any property on it, but I just sold a street of mine with 4 hazards, re-bought it, and bam. Insta clear of hazards.

Lame.

Well I don't have a problem with that as much since it does cost money to do that.

Maintenance

The site will be going down for maintenance at approximately 10AM eastern time today, for approximately 3 hours. When it comes back up, we will have implemented procedures to start dealing with the cheating that has been widely reported.

Thank you for your continued patience as we work to improve the game.

I just messed up one of his parks.

GoldenEagle · 09-23-2009, 05:26 PM

I also just took out two of his buildings which were getting him $1.6mil in rent.

Get your requests in now, because I am pulling demo cards left and right.

I cannot stand the fact that you SEE a street but cannot BUY the street. I know the street is there, but no matter how many times I try, I can't get it to come up in the list of streets I can buy. Even searching for it doesn't help. The links that come up take you to the street, but it still won't let you buy it.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-23-2009, 08:50 PM

Toddzilla - I had the same problem with a road last night. It seems to be a quirky thing about where the road begins best I can figure, it's as though there are some that simply don't have a designated starting point & therefore don't get picked up.
