Colossal Games for Cash

Colossal Games At Rhodes
Tuesday Nov. 10th  we will begin our game series. The first game we  play will be to locate 3 streets. Using the supplied clues to find the specific streets you will then post the "share street" locations in this blog , The first person to correctly post the 3 streets will win 2 billion mDollars. The game will start simple and get harder
The questions will deal with History, Geography, Famous People, Events,..etc...An example might be:
Q.1)A famous Hunchback lived near this bridge, it shares a name with his famous home. You would then find Paris search out Notre Dame and find this street.
Pont Notre Dame
http://www.monopolycitystreets.com/game.html#23486615z488561128
After finding the 3 streets in each quiz you would post the 3 matching game locations as shown above into the blog, (all at one time.) The first to do this will be the winner of 2- 5 billion mBucks To retrieve the prize you will be directed to purchase one of the "Game Streets" in Rhodes Cellars account. Once you've done this we will then immediately bid the 2 billion to retrieve the street when you accept the offer  the next day (after the 24 hr limit is reached).
Please let us know if you have questions or any suggestions for these games.
(Donations of a building or 2 on the street when we buy it back would be accepted

  1. best way to avoid paying tax, if all your streets have hazards on them you dont pay any when you build, well i say none, but you may get one for 20mill with 450billion in the bank

  3. We've prepared the first game for today and will be dropping it here sometime in the morning. It should be interesting. I will be posting an announcement on MCS main but the answers will have to be posted to this comments section to win the prize. Stay tuned...

  4. WYNN T please sell me country road for my low offer. I'm desperate for a reasonably long road to start building.

    Thanks

  5. Also Penalty cards do seem to have gone down.

    I got one early on for about 10% of my cash - normally its 50-60% my other 3 were equally low.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Fire sale, clearance. I have too many 2 million M$ streets. Bid LOW and on more than one. First bidder wins each one. 2.00 to 2.99 million.


    @WYNN T, do you mean that if one had 8 streets and 3 had hazards do you NOT lose out to the tax man ? Or do you still loose 9% in this case ?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Rhode,
    Do you have a way to tell how many are checking into this blog ? Any kind of count at all ? Just curious.....

    ReplyDelete
  8. Bankson,
    Earlier in the week I had ads on here and it showed about 100 hits a day, I imagine with the MCS blog working normally It will drop off some.
    If anyone knows how I can put a hit counter on here I'd love to have one.

  11. TIP*
    all street sellers
    Mr monopoly loves it, it is the essence of the game,"street trading" however

    although they say 5 accounts per house, do not be fooled it is 1x account per person

    so if your street trading, i would advise you do not make withdrawals from your account

    n.b if if you only have one account there is no need to make withdrawals

    Im just offering some advice, but it really is 1x account per person and they are very strict on this rule

    WYNN T

  12. @bankson..

  13. Hi all,

    EON BLUE still has streets for sale, will close the auction in 3 hours (2 hours before payday).

    About 22 streets between 1 and 3Mil in value, all cleared.

    If they are not all gone after the auction today, just come and bid what ever you want on the streets and I will accept!!

  14. Hello All,
    The game begins now. For 3 billion mBucks
    return the share links here for the following streets. Solve the clues, find the street info and post it here all at one time.

    1.Here we see a bust of Cellini, along with Old Arno surrounded by Gold.

    2.This mans Reinvention of the Wheel In 1893 was a spectacle to many fair folk.
    It stood on the street you seek.

    3.Gertie's gallop and gait narrowly lead to her replacement

    Once again all 3 on one post wins you 3bil

  23. Hey Guys!

    I just tripped over a 9M$ street this morning and now again a 7M$ street. In last 11 days I maxed my finds at 4.2M$. What happened in last 48 hours ? A really BIG cheater jailed and streets released to bank ?

    Orrrrrrr
    Might it be they are unlocking locked up bids that are WEEKS old and releasing them to the bank ?

    WoW !! a 4.99M$ one --- THREE biggies in ONE day!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ah, I was on completely the wrong track for number two... the Steering wheel was first invented in 1893... missed the whole fair folk pun ;)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Woody if you'd bid on Game Way at cost, I will offer you 3 bil. right back for it. You will have to wait out the 24 hour thing. I will await you to acknowledge here that the bid is in.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hey guys, just a reminder that I have lots of streets for sale, if they're not sold by pay time today, then I'll gift them to rhode for his use in these games or something

    ReplyDelete

  40. Excellent job Joeri if you could go to my streets and buy Game Rd at cost I will then send you an offer for 3 billion as soon as the bid is there.
    Thanks for playing

    ReplyDelete
  41. I meant as soon as you take ownership of the street we will then offer you 3 bil to buy it back, you'll be able to cash in 24 hours after the sale.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Sorry my mistake.. Joeri...Buy Money St. Game rd is no longer mine. Not sure how that happened. If you bought it already. let us know and we'll do it with that street sorry for the confusion

  45. Joeri,
    OK the street has been sold and now has an offer of 3bil cash
    Thanks for playing

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ok so we all of a sudden have dozens of small roads, they appeared out of nowhere. Its crazy. it could be that we'd made offers on some but not that many. weird goings on in MCS.

    ReplyDelete
  47. My only thought is someone dumped them with an offer and I didnt notice the streets attached.
    The only possible answer.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Ah Eon gifted them I see your post now above, Thanks I was very confused now all is clear.
    Cheers Eon.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Rhode,

    I still have Game rd due to the 24hr system.

    You should have back in next few hours, but the you have another 24 to wait.

    ReplyDelete
  50. It's no problem Woody I have alternative streets to use if needed. Hope you enjoyed the extra funds.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Is anyone else having trouble even getting to the logon page of MCS??

    I keep getting a blank screen or it just sticks on the loading screen....

    ReplyDelete
  52. Simon , Try clearing the cache again this often works for me to fix most weird issues

    ReplyDelete
  53. Rhode, thank you for the price! I will accept the offer after the 24hrs. Thanks a lot and keep up the game!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Joeri, Good job on the game, hope it came in handy. Cheers
