Allen Wren posted:I suspect raising all properties an entire rent tier at once might be too aggressive. Maybe after each lap of the rabbit or tortoise a random number of houses are added to random properties? They'd eventually begin stacking into hotels, presumably. You may want to do some math behind the scenes---I don't actually have a copy of Monopoly. Hmm. There's 28 total properties. If we assign numbers 1-22 to each individual property, 23-26 to the railroads, and 27 and 28 to the electric company and water works respectively, then after every lap - whichever person we decide to use for counting laps - or when X number of turns has passed, go to orokos or random.org or whatever and get your random number(s), 1-28. If either 27 or 28 are rolled, the Water Works and Electric Company are assumed to be owned by the same person and the rent on those properties increases as normal (and numbers 27 and 28 are removed from the pool). Each time a railroad is rolled the number of 'owned railroads,' and thus the rent for all railroads, increases by one (and the number of 'railroad rolls' decreases). Each time a normal property is rolled, a house is added to that property. I think I'd suggest using turn numbers as the increment, simply because if the rabbit or tortoise or whoever else gets thrown into jail, that's potentially three turns added to the "when the houses come in" timer, which could draw the game out a lot more than it has to. On the other hand, though, if there's one person who gets to be responsible for making houses go up then it's more reason for the rest of us to talk poo poo about that person, so there's that, too.

My worst board game experience (rather than the worst tabletop game experience which is a whole other beast) is actually about Monopoly! Well, sort of. It was college, so it was Beeropoly. The rules were quite simple; round all dollar amounts up to the next hundred, each hundred dollars equals one drink, each can of beer (Genessee Cream Ale - it was cheap, what do you want) contains ten drinks. If you have to pay money to the bank (or anyone else)? Drink that many drinks. If you get money, such as for passing Go? Tell someone else to drink that many drinks. If you're in jail? There's no beer allowed in jail, so you have three turns to finish your can of beer. If you fail, you are given a fresh can of beer, and have three turns to finish that can (plus whatever was left of the first can). It was really quite fun up until the part where I spent nine consecutive turns in jail because the other players teamed up to run through their turns as rapidly as possible just to screw with me. Have you ever had to chug three cans of Genny Cream in quick succession? It is seriously awful. Like, ew.

Allen Wren posted:So, the story here. This sounds like a disturbing number of gaming stories that I could relate, though few that actually involve me, which is why I went with having to shotgun cans of cheap and terrible beer for my entry. There's a game called Prince of the City, which is basically a White Wolf Vampire:the Masquerade Boardgame - in effect, you're a vampire trying to be Top Vampire in a city. It is the only board game I have ever seen almost cause a literal fistfight between friends of mine. Like, one dude raised a fist and was stopped by a different dude before he could punch the third dude in the face. He... was not invited to future game nights. This is why when the guy who hosts our regular gaming nights (the aforementioned almost-got-punched-in-the-face-guy) suggests playing Diplomacy I shout NO as loud as I can.

Lemniscate Blue posted:Some of the most fun LP threads were the spate of Diplomacy games that goons were playing some years back, complete with refereed gray press, peanut gallery commenting, and poo poo-talking. The quote that particularly stands out in my memory was "Okay, now that I'm convoying his army, do I have to drop it off where I said I would?" I played in one goon Diplomacy game and decided 'never again,' because holy poo poo.

oldskool posted:I think I played in that same game, and it motivated me to run my own a year later; if you think playing is bad, good lord is running out ten times worse. It's possible! All I honestly remember of it was getting backstabbed by Turkey very early on and looking at my situation and deciding 'welp, winning is basically out of the question, I'm just gonna grudge-gently caress the Ottomans out of spite,' having the game go on for ages, having someone propose a draw and it getting shot down by Turkey, who was mad that I would not be destroyed for grudge-loving him. So then I said "you know, I think maybe Diplomacy is not the game for me." I can't even imagine the amount of bullshit you'd have to deal with actually running a game of it, good lord

##joker. Again. Because I see Allen Wren creeping up on the Big Expensive Properties and let's see if we can get him past them and also past Go. I mean, gently caress it, we have the things, no sense not using 'em.

In thinking on it a bit more, it occurs to me that if we allow Nega-Jokers it will inevitably lead to people hoarding their jokers so as to be able to gently caress over other people. But on the other hand it might also encourage more people to participate in Joker Challenges so they can be well-stocked. So there's arguments either way.

Either way, it's clearly the fault of all of you for not participating in Joker challenges. I figured it was a PBS Newshour mixup, and honestly was only teasing.

"Please, sir," the thin, reedy voice reached me. It was a cold October day, and the wind had a bite to it; even in my hurry, though, I had to stop to listen. "We need some help," such a pitiful sound. "Can you spare any change?" A pitiful sight, too; the three of them were huddled together for warmth, a tattered blanket wrapped around them, their features black with soot and grease from the oily trash can fire they'd been using to try to keep warm... a fire which had guttered out long before, much like their hopes and dreams. "Perhaps," I replied, brushing a stray speck of dirt from my coat. "But first you must promise not to get any closer than that, because you smell like hammered dogshit. And second, you must tell me how you came to be in such a pitiful state." "Half of my posts in the thread were about requesting fellatio," JakeP muttered, shamefully. "The only actual poo poo-talking I did was to call someone a homophobe after they called me out on it." "After promising to be more active here than I ever was for Candy Land I made only four posts," confessed Maigius, tears running down his cheeks. "Once I talked about how I failed at playing a game at Easter and it made me the most prolific poster on my entire no-effort no-hope team." Chaoslord glared at the ground, remaining silent, as ever he had since signups. I reached into my pocket, shaking my head sadly. "This is what it's come to, has it? The once-proud Team Thimble, fallen so far?" "Proud my rear end," JakeP growled. "Fuckin' chaos dunk over here doesn't do poo poo. He's lucky we can huddle with him for warmth, or we'd've eaten him already." He paused. "When we do," he told Maigius suddenly, almost angrily, "I call dibs on his dick." Maigius tried to flee, but could not unentangle himself from the blanket. "Perhaps you would have stayed warmer," I told the wretches, dropping some coins on the sidewalk, "had you been wise enough to invest in a hat." The sounds of the trio scrabbling after the pitiful few cents cheered me immensely. Pulling down the brim of my top hat and whistling a jaunty tune, I made a note to raise the rents on my properties once again. What a beautiful day to be a capitalist.
