Monopoly Mash - $30 Patron Giveaway

[Rich Uncle Pennybags]

Monopoly

This is a manual mini-mash 19er game of Mafia starting Mon Dec 9 with a schedule of 6:50a-7:55p (all times Eastern) - 13/11 d1-d3; 37/11 d4+.

You may sign up only if you were not subbed out of either of the last two non-turbo MU mafia games you played.

This game is not bastard. It has no ITAs. It has been reviewed for balance and approved by Aquilla, mhsmith0, and Animal Midwife. We could not play on this site without their dedication--thank you to those folks. A result of investigation, if any, will be truthful (no godfather nor miller roles/abilities). In addition to the Town and the Mafia, there might also be one Neutral team of one or more players. There is a maximum of three teams, and only one team can win. Flips will at least indicate "Town" or "Not Town" with one possible exception; an investigative role will flip fully.

Also see post 16 for the Playing Piece Pre-game Event and post 52 for how to win a 3-month Patron membership!

Community Chest and Chance
Every day and every night, one lucky player's number is drawn. If that player is alive, he or she may pick a Community Chest card or make another player pick a Chance card. A Community Chest card is 50% likely to give you something really good, 30% likely to be "meh," and 20% likely to be pretty bad (but not causing your death). A Chance card is 20% likely to be really good, 30% likely to be "meh," and 50% likely to be really, really bad. Well, it could be just one really or two reallys, or really it could be 5 reallys because yes, the worst outcome is possible. How does this work mechanically? Glad you asked!

• The players are listed randomly in post 3.
• Next to each name is a range of at least 566 numbers.
• At 12:59pm and at 7:57pm the New Jersey Lottery Pick 4 drawing is held. If your number is picked, you may name
  ----yourself and play a Community Chest card or
  ----another player, who must play a Chance card.
• For the afternoon drawing, indicate your choice via ITA formatting as a day action; for the evening drawing, indicate your choice by PM to the host as a night action.
• Unlike in Monopoly, a drawn card is played then returned to a random location in (not necessarily the bottom of) the deck.
• Cards are being randomized in advance using the Oregon Lottery in a thread of unedited posts (details available postgame).

Information

• There is an anti-claim mechanism ensuring that if a Townie saves themselves by claiming his or her role truthfully, it will probably hurt the Town more than any benefit that might be obtained from such a claim. If a Townie claims truthfully and it does not save them, or if ANY player claims his or her role untruthfully, that will simply be ignored.
• The day action deadline is one hour before EOD. The night action deadline is 90 minutes before SOD. There will be no reminders of this or to post, and there will be no randing of unsubmitted actions. All actions must be submitted by PM, and each submission is irrevocable.
• Day never ends early.
• Votes are not locked in at LYLO.
• The Town must always lynch.
• Tied votes are decided randomly.
• Each faction will have its own cemetery.
• A player who has zero-posted or one-posted as of 4 hours before EOD may be replaced immediately without warning.
• A player who does not participate substantially during a day will be given only one warning per game as early as 4 hours before EOD; a recurrence on a subsequent day may result in immediate replacement as early as halfway through the day.
• The host will subjectively but fairly apply a reasonable community standard in interpreting "substantial participation."
• ITA formatting is reserved only for a winner to use only once.

Short reminder that this runs concurrent to our Hydra game and I will not be pleased if I have to solo hydra yet AGAIN like I did three times last year.

Edit, nevermind, this game starts a week later. Still, I hope that there is no overlap between both games since that would suck.

Also, in case the Hydra ends before this game starts count me interested to play or sub.

Closed. All you know is what is in this thread.

I'll put you down as "in" for the 26th spot, and will change you to the bottom of the sub list if you're still playing when this starts or if we find 26 without you before you make your "in" unconditional.

@sheepsaysmeep
@stormslyde

I put in subs as and when needed, so if you change your mind let me know. The role PM will just appear in your inbox and you would be needed to hit the ground running, ideally having read the game.

Storm, I put you down to sub as early as n3 because thats when the game becomes 36/12 (you said no 12 hour days).

Aye, I can read and keep up. My work schedule just makes 12h days unviable

@Chemist1422 - Simply post in this thread with your avatar having changed to a picture of the Monopoly Pikachu playing piece, and it's yours!

mine

@Jalandh - I like your spirit, and the reference, and you can keep your avatar if you like, but to participate in this particular optional event and to reserve the one you prefer, you would change your avatar to a picture of the Monopoly piece from the list of those not crossed off in post 16! Thank you for suggesting I ping folks who didn't get a heads up on this yet.

Simply post in this thread with your avatar having changed to a picture of one of the Monopoly playing pieces not yet taken, and it's yours! Those who would rather not participate, never fear--you are missing out on only about one tenth of one percent of a chance to win a card. This is an extremely low-reward and no-risk, 99.9% fun event.

[Phighter]

I will change my avatar in like two weeks

gimme the car

[Chemist1422]

Yeah I know, I just haven’t gotten a chance to yet because mobile

[Rich Uncle Pennybags]

The good news is that as long as you change your avatar before the game is randed, you obtain the benefit of the bonus numbers. The bad news is that until you actually change your avatar, anyone can steal your preference!

So everyone be nice and let Phighter have his car, but you don't have to!

PS WTF IS BOARDWALK AND NOT MAYFAIR

@The Lukundo

I'm pretty sure Monopoly is based on Atlantic City in New Jersey, USA

So to exclude the boardwalk would be to exclude the cornerstone of the game itself :P

[Rich Uncle Pennybags]

I am very excited to host this game. I put a lot of creative energy into it. The reviewers put their time into making sure it's a fair and fun experience for all of you. Please don't let this one die on the vine. Help me--help US--get to 26. We have only 9 days to get 13 players, and that's not counting subs.

Thank you for joining if you already have. You shouldn't have to recruit for me, but I'm asking you to.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!

I think the timing doesn't work out for most people who are in school taking exams during this time.

End of January/Beginning of February would work best for this game size.

Otherwise second week of March should do well, but I suspect a 50+ Mash would be better slotted there.

I've only got 13 for a 26er. I appreciate your unbridled optimism though!
