EDIT: I bet Grinner would feel good listing JoH as red.

I know I do.

I agree with this. I think there's two ways to play this game: like Monopoly or like Chess. The first is what a lot of people are guilty of. Making the same moves, taking the same turns, with little difference (or evolution) in strategy. Playing it like chess, where every game should teach you something about your own playstyle or your opponents', takes a lot more dedication and attention. Neither way is necessarily wrong (in the end these games are for fun. Period.) But the latter is definitely more engaging and eventually more fulfilling for everyone involved. There's no "right way" to play, but it's hard to enjoy chess when your opponent is playing monopoly.

I think I'm playing Checkers... cus wha?

You talking #### about Monopoly?

I think you're a hell of a chess player.

Monopoly with my in laws is infuriating. They cheat and take moves personally.

#### no, I love me some monopoly.

I'm a railroads and utilities guy. It has worked out for me exactly zero times.

How the heck do you cheat at monopoly?

You've never read Calvin and Hobbes? Come on, man. Stealing from the banker is so easy.

No. And so it Ends for even the Endless have learned some names don't hold the power they did in years past.


Oh, and Hi!

It's so easy. Either "forgetting" to pay for a property when you land on it, or moving 10 spaces on a roll of eleven to miss out on a hefty rent. (I've got a sister who will adjust her movement +1/-1 when no one's paying attention to avoid landing 7 spaces away from a big rent space.)

When I first moved out to the country, as a kid, I had to figure out how to play Clue in solo mode.

Monopoly is easy comparatively, if I may say.

I like this. I've come to find recently that I haven't really tried to improve my game at all. A genuine monopoly player. I was mainly just using Mafia as something else to take up my spare time. I also really enjoyed the "in-person" version of the game because I am really good at putting on a poker face and reading others. I've been around here a little while now, though, so I may as well start to try to up my game a bit.

I will say, modding was very eye-opening because I got to see how other players play/don't play. Not that I am going to compare notes between games or anything, but it was just interesting to see people make moves that I wouldn't think of, or wouldn't dare making.

I agree in concept and especially in most other games.

This one, I'm hedging my reads a bit being there's the whole "XP for posts" mechanic which, I feel, is going to really distort the sound to noise ratio. Picking the chaff vs seeing who's posting just for level-ups is going to be a tad more subtle than just context of one post.

Vote record is going to be more convincing to me than most posts.

Played many a game Monopoly solo...god I had a sad childhood.

I guess I'm just too honest, I never thought to try and get away with fudging the roll count. Mostly because I usually knew where someone should land on what roll, so I assume everyone has that ability.

I'm catching up and filling out my notes.

1) Lynch people that refuse day 1 discussion, or dissuade it, or try to coast through joking. I think folks that refuse are trying to go under the radar as much as possible.

2) I dislike lynching on day 1 based off of weird posts. People that tend to jump on the slightest weird post tend to hurt the town more than help.

I'll disagree with part of this, namely "takes the sting out because they have a back-up life".

First, your hinting aside - and why do that so early, especially since there are false claims? - it's not very fun for someone to lose any character. Maybe they're more attached to the first.

On a more important overall matter, it would really bite if that first character packed a great power and the second was...I don't know...vanilla with a one-shot.

Throw in the experience factour and that one life could be built up while the second starts back at square one and that's a bit more detrimental. Certainly enough so that I don't feel, "They have a back-up" is the mindset to be taking.
