TOP TEN SIGNS YOUR MONOPOLY GAME IS NOT AUTHENTIC:

10. Box cover features man in top hat opening his raincoat.

9. Most players trying to avoid "Rick James Place".

8. Instead of buying hotels, you rent rooms by the hour.

7. Short Line seems to be derailed.

6. Pick up a plastic green house, and plastic green corpses spill out.

5. "Get Out of Jail Free" card has picture of O.J. on it.

4. Luxury Tax options: Pay 10% of income or slam hand in door.

3. Instead of giving you $200 when you pass GO, you get ten lousy tokens, leaving you just 490 shy of an HO pencil.

2. Rules encourage players to file anti-trust suits.

AND......The surest sign this Monopoly set ain't made by Parker Brothers:

1. One of the playing pieces is a gold-capped molar.

Either way, I reckon Mama should get her points!

BTW - are you posting today??

So...Mamaja will get her points and I will lose my minus 10 points but will not be penalised as I was correct with the information supplied. The T does not exist on the 1997 version...

The site that you used just has a write-up mentioning a few properties. There is a much more detailed listing on another site, with all the properties and their relevant colour groups, that states it is called "The Strip". Also, with good eyesight, you can just about read it marked on the board itself, as you said.

I really wish it was Sypher following me instead of BL!! However we all know that BL is very resourceful and she has managed to find the neccessary entries so far.

Do I take it that you don't want to run next week's game ? (sci-fi and all)

I thought BL's entry for yesterday was masterful - setting up a challenge that could be defended by one of Sypher's own irrational statements. Unfortunately nobody took the bait - but I would like to award BL the "Somali Special Yonke Shonke Moment Trophy" for this week. LOL

So...I don't want to see you using 'Income Tax, Super Tax or Free Parking'

By using the foreign equivalent of a "Chance" square, BL was inviting a challenge. But there was an excellent defence lined up because of your "irrational" statement earlier in Snake Talk:

quote:

The ONLY squares on a Monopoly Board that isn't allow is 'Go To Jail', 'Free Parking', Utilities Propertys (Electric/Water Works) and Super Tax/Income Tax.

I think it was a brilliant plan by BL and I salute her! LOL

WTG Bridelady for exploiting a square that was forgotten !!

(somali's right, Sypher.....You would have lost the challenge! lol)

In the 1 1/2 or 2 years that I've been playing Snake, I've never had a week where it wasn't fun which, (along with winning, lol), is why I play in the first place.

This week was not fun, thanks to zozo and her childish hissy-fit over Sypher's enforcement of THE Number One rule of Snake...that an entry must start with the last letter of the preceding entry. Other rules may change from week to week (making for more fun and variety), but that one NEVER does. It's really pretty simple.

Hopefully next week won't be a repeat?
