UPDATE-OPOLY

[Joe Republic]

Welcome to the very first game of Update-opoly!  I'm proud to be your host and game moderator, and please welcome the following players, in no particular order:

	Bacon King & HockeyDude
	Oakvale
	SomebodyWhoExists
	King
	Bore
	AndrewCT
	Dallasfan65
	JerryArkansas

If you missed the chance to sign up, fear not!  As you can already see with the Red token, there is an option to create a team under the same token.  Ask any existing player during the game if he'd be willing to take you on as a team mate.  I'll consider the original player to be the 'captain' of the team, and eventually I'll discuss with each captain how much autonomy they want to allow their team mates to have during gameplay.

[Joe Republic]

Based on votes cast by the players, these are the following House Rules we'll be playing by.  All other rules are based on the official rules as found in any classic game of Monopoly.  Here's a handy refresher on those.



(1) Free Parking / 'Free Gas'

Any and all fines and taxes go into a Free Parking ('Free Gas' in Update-opoly) fund.  Whoever lands on Free Gas wins the accumulated pool of cash.  If the pool is empty, they win nothing.


(2) The last unsold property

The last unsold property can only be sold when a player lands on it.


(3) Salary for landing on Go

If you land on Go, you collect $400 instead of $200.  This includes instructions given by Trust Jesus or Papa's Retirement Fund cards to 'Advance to Go'.


(4) When players can begin purchasing properties

All players must each move around the board once before they can purchase any properties.*

* A trip to jail ('Sleep') does not count as traveling around the board, so that player will still need to pass Go after leaving jail to qualify as having fully moved around the board.


(5) If a player chooses not to (or cannot afford to) purchase an unsold property they've landed on...

 ... it remains unsold for the next player to land on.


(6) When a player lands on a Trust Jesus space...

... the player must draw a card.


(7) Collecting rent while in jail ('asleep')

While asleep, players cannot collect rent on their properties.


(8) Winning the game

A player wins when all other players are bankrupt.


(9) Trading properties between players

Trading properties can begin at any point.


(10) Availability of houses and hotels ('credit cards' and 'loans', respectively)

There is no limit to credit cards and loans available to purchase.


(11) Issuing properties at the beginning of the game

No properties are dealt at the beginning of the game.

I'm going to be in LA for the next two days, so I'll get things up and running when I come back! 

[Joe Republic]

Do you have all the Trust Jesus and Papa's Retirement Fund cards written?  Are you going to pre-sort them, or will you use some kind of random number generator to choose the card each time?

Yes, the cards are all written.  I'll be using random.org to sort the Papa's Retirement Fund cards and also to roll the dice.  The Trust Jesus cards will however be sorted and selected by my Lord and Savior, who bathes me when I am unclean and who comforts me in His warm embrace when I am weak and feeble.

[Joe Republic]

[Joe Republic]

Is the idea that after each turn, you'll show a new graphic of the board with everyone's current position displayed on it?

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the way I do things.  Sure, it may be different from how you would do it, but you can NOT say it is wrong.


(Yes.)

[Joe Republic]

BTW, do you guys think I should move this thread into FC?  I feel like it might be too detached from the Update family over here, although at the same time I'm hesitant to add yet another Update thread to that clogged board.

[Joe Republic]

Yes, Joe's done a great job considering he didn't quit his job to Focus on Updateopoly.

Actually I did decide to voluntarily terminate my employment in order to devote my attention 100% to Update-opoly.  This is the path that God has laid out for me, so the moment that I heard His words in my ears, I thrusted ahead and told my boss I was leaving that day and would not return.

I understand that at first there is little to no income from running Update-opoly, but in time my God will deliver on His promise and furnish my desires for financial stability.
