Pretty sure a road "exists" at only one point, you sometimes have to search for that point to pick up the road. Agreed, maddening sometimes. I have been searching far-out countries for massive roads... and it's practically impossible to get them to come up for purchase, period.

What browser are you guys using? After reading that cheat site, I switched to my Google browser and now I can find more long streets. That was listed as one of their hints.

When I changed to GoogleChrome, I am now seeing Interstates and state Hwys that I never saw before. Most of these roads are all over $10 million

NewIdentity · 09-24-2009, 12:39 PM

Just got hammered this morning. Drew around 8 card and 3 of those set me back around 17 million. Accounting error, Building mistake. just got smoked.

Curious, Right now I have $30,000 in the bank; I wonder what would have happened if I would have drawn one of those cards now?

Toddzilla · 09-24-2009, 01:16 PM

I don't know where you be lookin', but if you find any $10M+ roads, let me know, please.

NewIdentity · 09-24-2009, 02:11 PM

I don't know if it was the google chrome or the fact that I am now at home on my 26" monitor with a screen resolution of 1600x1200 and the monitor I have at work is set at 1024x768 and uses Internet explorer.

those "$10M+ roads," are everywhere just pick a state and I will show you one in that state.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-24-2009, 02:19 PM

I can't even get the game to load on Google Chrome, stalls out before I even get to the log in screen. Loads fine on Firefox & IE, go figure.

NewIdentity · 09-24-2009, 02:34 PM

OK here is a $13,930,000 road. Not in my neck of the woods so here you go.

I am in Google Chrome, full screen, with my display set as 1920x1200

United States Highway 259

Just passed the ok texas Borderin OK.

Follow 259 north untill it hangs a left. If you continue to head north you will be on Pallard rd. Center your browser on this intersection.

If you hit buy streets there will be none available. Now put the little hand on the left side of the screen and pull it all the way to the right side while keeping 259/87 centered on your screen.

After the pull your Streets in this area should bring it up automatically. You made need yo pull a little further to the left.

NewIdentity · 09-24-2009, 02:44 PM

Still in ok

There is on for 11,042,000

Texas Highway 37 N.

This is Where Farm Rd 2118 ends.

NewIdentity · 09-24-2009, 03:16 PM

staying in OK

70 was already purchased for $11 million

State Highway 9 where it intersect with N4330 RD is available for $15,223,000

Toddzilla · 09-24-2009, 03:30 PM

Virginia is sadly lacking in big roads...

If you don't give a damn where your road is, try Alaska. I just wandered into a $21m roadway up there, and it wasn't too tough to find the "action" spot in FF.

I guess my first post of this must not have gone through, but there's a stretch of I-75 in Macon, GA you can have for a neat $14 million & change.

It is funny you mention Alaska, as that cheater web site said he bought a $100 million dollar road in Alaska.

QuikSand · 09-25-2009, 02:46 PM

If anyone is still playing and looking to blow someone up, I have just been randomly hazarded by two players:

OWNEROFTHEWORLD has 17 mostly small streets, so it might be a bot account, or just a dumbass

CHEETOB93 has 5 smallish roads, and not much cash... and there's no CHEETOB92 account, so maybe it's just a dumbass

Have at it. I will. I guess this is the only fun the game really affords after you get a few days deep.

NewIdentity · 09-25-2009, 03:57 PM

How hard do you hit back against a random person?

Had my first hit yesterday/this morning, when someone buldozed, then put a hazard on one of my streets. He is a local person with all his streets located around this little town as one my my streets. MY 5 streets are all over $10 million and his 5 streets are between 500K and 3 million.

Besides my first turn where I put a hazard on someones 2.8 million dollar street and ruined his game; that factory is still sitting on his road today. Since then I have minded my own business and just thrown the bulldoze and hazard cards away.

Just how hard would you hit some Local Yocal that has no business in your weight class? I have thrown 2 hazards at him, so I am hoping he will realize the error of his way and go away.

QuikSand · 09-25-2009, 04:03 PM

I don't know, this is my first attack. I blew up CHEETO's bonus building on his best road, which flipped it from protected to hazarded in one blow -- nice. Now I blew up his stadium on his other good road, leaving that unprotected. If I pick up another hazard, I'll lay it on him, wiping out about 80% of his income for this stage. I'm thinking he'd get the point.

Subby · 09-25-2009, 08:39 PM

Two words: North. Dakota.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-26-2009, 12:55 AM

Anyone who finds themselves bored with extra hazards or demolitions to spare could feel free to use them on CONMAEL, who for some reason (he's not in my county leaderboard nor have I ever noticed him before tonight) sabotaged one bldg of mine & dropped a hazard on another street.

If you prefer, MONROESLUMLORD randomly bulldozed a bldg of mine as well.

QuikSand · 09-26-2009, 03:29 PM

boring game now

Toddzilla · 09-27-2009, 01:23 PM

Maximum monopoly = dead

JonInMiddleGA · 09-27-2009, 11:29 PM

If someone finds themselves with a few extra minutes & they're bored, see if you can find something I can't.

Player "OCONEESNOB" owns a street named "MAIN ST", worth $3,308,000. Click on the street & the deed pops up, 10 blgs, no hazards, no bonus bldgs. But where the map centers there's no trace of the street. Searching by name & city (Watkinsville, GA which is where most of his other properties are) reveals three streets with Main in their name but none of them are this one. In short, I can't find the street that corresponds with the deed at all & I've scrolled all over the place for several days. Not sure if it's a map glitch, a game glitch, or something funky with my browsers or what. Just wondering if someone else can find it & if so, could you give me some sort of landmark to help me see if I can find it too.

QuikSand · 10-01-2009, 05:20 PM

Okay, I am still fiddling, but it's not really any fun playing against bots and the like. I don't know what their model or plan is, but clearly this isn't really a sustainable three-month game in any reasonable way.

Anyhow... I remain intrigued by this concept generally, and saw a fella posting stuff about this game in an unrelated chat room recently, though I'd paste it here to see if anyone else had similar ideas.

- - - - -

5:07:57 pm [QuikSand]: i have been thinking about this game and what you might be able to port into it from the board game Carcassonne
5:08:08 pm [QuikSand]: not sure where to go with that, but I think the concept has potential
5:08:25 pm [QuikSand]: if you have not played Carcassonne, this is a 100% meaningless observation, i understand
5:08:53 pm [cuervo72]: always heard it was good, never played it
5:10:15 pm [QuikSand]: it's very very good
5:10:22 pm [QuikSand]: best board game ever, for my money
5:10:34 pm [QuikSand]: and it plays really well at different levels
5:10:44 pm [QuikSand]: bunch of semi-drunks while watching football = fun
5:10:53 pm [QuikSand]: few super-serious game geeks = still really fun
5:11:38 pm [QuikSand]: anyway, that game is built around roads and cities and so forth, but the twist is that ownership can change if someone comes in and overpowers the current inhabitant
5:11:50 pm [QuikSand]: it's tough to move in and take someone else's city/road, etc but it can be done
5:12:03 pm [QuikSand]: anyway... something along those lines seems like it might work in a MCS style environment
5:12:15 pm [QuikSand]: and I think localized competition has to be the main key
5:12:33 pm [QuikSand]: like you shoudl get important bonuses for all the stuff you own/control within a certain range of your HQ or something
5:13:01 pm [QuikSand]: so, you set up shop in Frederick Md and what really matters to you is who owns Patrick Street and the like...
5:13:16 pm [QuikSand]: and if you can build up and hold onto a grid of several nearby interlocking streets, that should have value to you
5:13:27 pm [QuikSand]: sort of like in Monopoly, where you block out a color and then you get rolling
5:13:47 pm [QuikSand]: if any road is just as good as any other, then nothing but human pride keeps you fighting
5:13:56 pm [QuikSand]: and that's not a good enough motivation
5:14:23 pm [QuikSand]: you have to have a system where you and the other 4 guys based in Frederick are forced into collision with one another, just by geography and its inherent bonuses

Subby · 10-01-2009, 05:29 PM

During the latest maintenance period they razed my street with 400+ houses.

Thanks MCS!

JonInMiddleGA · 10-01-2009, 08:24 PM

Somewhat strangely, the activity in my own little local leaderboard pretty much settled in to me vs the one guy, then two others started up about a week in. By that point we were both far enough in front of them that they didn't seem to stand much chance of catching up. I've placed maybe 10-12 houses in the past 2-3 days, but I'm sitting on a net worth of $254.22 million, OconeeSnob is 57 million and the others are between 6 & 6.5 million. No one has missed a day playing that I can tell but when I got on a roll with demos & hazards I put the #2 in my rear view mirror and chewed up the other two guys top streets before they even got started good. Meanwhile I haven't been hit by anyone in four days & counting (no, that's not an FOFC invitation either) and I've still got another 100 or so slots on a great $10 million original value road still to fill with 4 bonus bldgs protection already on it, all my other roads are filled & are at least +3 in bonus bldgs.

NewIdentity · 10-02-2009, 05:31 AM

Does anyone know if you buy a street are the Hazards removed? There are a couple streets I am thinking about putting bids in on that are loaded with hazards.

Toddzilla · 10-02-2009, 09:12 PM

Holy S - the MCSTools now supports auto-building. Pick your street, choose the building, and it automatically fills that street with that building.

QuikSand · 10-05-2009, 07:51 PM

So, I'm completely bored, but still have a lot of income and property.

Anyone interested in going en masse after some proven asshat who came after one (or more) of us earlier in the game? Declaring war and actually being attacked might actually make this marginally interesting. Collecting $250M a day in rent with nothing to do with it... not so much.

I'm willing to enlist in Strike Force FOFC. Who's got an enemy?

QuikSand · 10-06-2009, 10:44 AM

Bumping...

I have only beet attacked a few times, and only one guy has come after me twice...he doesn't have much to lose, so he's not a good candidate. But if an FOFCer who is still playing has gotten ransacked by someone out there, I'd be game for spending a little time generating chance cards just to sack him out. With several of us working together, we could probably go in and doze all three bonus buildings on a fat road somewhere and then crush a $100 million street or something.

Without purpose, this game is pointless. I now have none. Give me a guy to hate, and I might get interested for another week.

Subby · 10-06-2009, 10:46 AM

I am down for some revenge - let's just be careful that we aren't attacking a guy with more resources and scripts than we have.

QuikSand · 10-06-2009, 11:00 AM

Agreed, i'm not really game for doing battle with an army of bots... but a guy who has a score in the $1b range (not quite as high as Ben or me) might be a good fit, and he'd presumably have some appetizing roads to go eat.

Subby · 10-06-2009, 11:17 AM

FLYINGSNOEK

This asshat Dutch carpetbagger owns 21 streets, including one in my neighborhood (linway Terrace).

Death to the Dutch?

QuikSand · 10-06-2009, 11:49 AM

Good enough for me. I wiped out the one bonus he had protecting a major road... go hazard him, Subby.

Subby · 10-06-2009, 11:56 AM

One hazard placed - start mowing down his high cost buildings on that street and/or placing more hazards.

Subby · 10-06-2009, 12:04 PM

$10m building demolished.

JonInMiddleGA · 10-06-2009, 12:08 PM

The thing is so painfully slow, anywhere from 20-40 seconds consistently for me just to place a single house, I don't know how anyone is playing it at this point.

Subby · 10-06-2009, 12:11 PM

Player "OCONEESNOB" owns a street named "MAIN ST", worth $3,308,000. Click on the street & the deed pops up, 10 blgs, no hazards, no bonus bldgs. But where the map centers there's no trace of the street. Searching by name & city (Watkinsville, GA which is where most of his other properties are) reveals three streets with Main in their name but none of them are this one. In short, I can't find the street that corresponds with the deed at all & I've scrolled all over the place for several days. Not sure if it's a map glitch, a game glitch, or something funky with my browsers or what. Just wondering if someone else can find it & if so, could you give me some sort of landmark to help me see if I can find it too. __________________ "I lit another cigarette.

By that point we were both far enough in front of them that they didn't seem to stand much chance of catching up. I've placed maybe 10-12 houses in the past 2-3 days, but I'm sitting on a net worth of $254.22 million, OconeeSnob is 57 million and the others are between 6 & 6.5 million. No one has missed a day playing that I can tell but when I got on a roll with demos & hazards I put the #2 in my rear view mirror and chewed up the other two guys top streets before they even got started good. Meanwhile I haven't been hit by anyone in four days & counting (no, that's not an FOFC invitation either) and I've still got another 100 or so slots on a great $10 million original value road still to fill with 4 bonus bldgs protection already on it, all my other roads are filled & are at least +3 in bonus bldgs. __________________ "I lit another cigarette.

There are a couple streets I am thinking about putting bids in on that are loaded with hazards. __________________ I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career.

Anyone interested in going en masse after some proven asshat who came after one (or more) of us earlier in the game? Declaring war and actually being attacked might actually make this marginally interesting. Collecting $250M a day in rent with nothing to do with it... not so much. I'm willing to enlist in Strike Force FOFC. Who's got an enemy?

QuikSand lolzcat Join Date: Oct 2000 Location: Annapolis, Md	Bumping... I have only beet attacked a few times, and only one guy has come after me twice...he doesn't have much to lose, so he's not a good candidate. But if an FOFCer who is still playing has gotten ransacked by someone out there, I'd be game for spending a little time generating chance cards just to sack him out. With several of us working together, we could probably go in and doze all three bonus buildings on a fat road somewhere and then crush a $100 million street or something. Without purpose, this game is pointless. I now have none. Give me a guy to hate, and I might get interested for another week.
