Penalty Cards "OUCH"



Penalty Cards.
We've all been suffering through these penalty cards, and this one takes the cake. This was sent to me by a friend, this was a 3rd of their current available cash.We would love to see your biggest card, Email it to us at rhodescellar@gmail.com this week and
  the largest card we receive will win 5 bil mDollars.
We will put together a collage of all the cards we receive, so please submit any you'd like.


The best and easiest way to capture a shot of the card is to hit the print screen key ,then open Paint, in the file menu click paste. In the edit menu you will see crop, outline the card and hit crop again. Save file and send it on. Any questions let us know.  We've Noticed the MCS Blog has turned the approvals on again. Feel free to use this space for any game discussion.

    They do love to steal our funds back. Send your screen caps in you might get some cash back.

  3. Anyone out there got or know of anyone selling 30M+ (base value) streets? Name your price...

    ReplyDelete
  4. @Simon

    I'm sorry but my biggest street is 18million M$ base. BUT I am using it.

    If you were to offer $3,000 USD then you may have dozens of people offering up their 30million $ streets.

    You offer 30 billion M$ and far fewer will respond.

    Hey if you want to pay $3,000 USD for my 30billion M$, My wife might shut up about my spending time on Monopoly, since then I would have paid 2 months health care COBRA payments.

  5. Harrumph!

    It appears that I have two blogging accounts, SOX was supposed to be BANKSON

    PS, I still have lotta 2 million$ streets for sale. Buy em up you all......

    ReplyDelete
  6. @Bankson or SOX??

    USD$3000 is like a million New Zealand dollars, so probably not ;) but I can offer up to M$100Bil for long streets....

    ReplyDelete
  7. We'll keep our eyes out for a long street for you Simon, although over 30s have gotten rare. Market poly is a good spot but I'd only deal with direct buy, or your money may get tied up for days,weeks ,or forever..

    ReplyDelete
  8. Simon, this guy has some excellent large streets he's hard to pin down for a deal in the chat but if you could he's got the roads your seeking

  9. Wynn's 90m base-cost street is still available if you have more than 115 billion ...

    ReplyDelete
  10. @ Rhode,

    Just brought a street off NAZEBRO, cheers for the advice.

    ReplyDelete
  11. @Berry

    Is that how much he wants or just a guess? I have had a look at that street and it would be a very good one to have as its got lots of east to west straight is int, so you can pack buildings together closely, maybe i should have saved my money, as M$115 is cheap for a 100mil base street

    ReplyDelete
  12. Problem is most people's computers aren't good enough and will run out of memory or cpu power and possibly crash the browser. Quite a few have issues with 40 or 50 sized ones.

    I have just compared a 7.9Mill with a 5.3mil straight E-W. The 7.9mil is curvey and no straight areas at all. Using stairway to the futures to maximum and back filling I was able to get the 7.9mil to have rent of 644M and the 5.5mil has rent of 663M.

    Sooo the wriggly road is 1.42 times as long as the EW straight one. A 'rule-of-thumb' is wriggly roads need to be over 1.5 times as long as EW straight ones to be more productive in rent at capacity. For NS vs EW I got about 1.05.

    Example:
    1. EW 10.0 Million straight
    2. NS 10.5 Million straight
    3. Wriggly 14.3 Million
    when using Stairway to the future and back fill, these all produce approx the same rent when filled to capacity.

  13. Attn: Attacking type, why you killing my sons account, he worked hard building that up, we worked for months putting it all together, just to have you tear it down in one night. What have we done to you, Dare you to answer since I know you come here. Wrecking the kids fun was unjustified and here in Chicago we have a saying ...what comes around goes around...careful karma has sharp teeth. Thanks

  15. Is Wynn T online?

    I was bidding on 97th ave (or 735 Rd) and was outbid with 8B. SO I bid 11b. BUT I cannot find it now. The 8B bid disappeared also. Now I am back as top bidder on both streets @6B each.

    I logged out and back but my 11B bid is still holding my 11B money.

    Is there anything you can do on your end, WYNN T ?

    ReplyDelete
  16. wow! Wynn T that was sure fast.
    I just checked on status and all bids rejected.

    I got enough back that I could bid neg amount. It is on its way..... for 97th Ave SE.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Bankson we made a very generous offer for one of your streets so you could wear a top hat tonite after rent...enjoy...

    ReplyDelete
  18. I may have rejected the offer thinking that the person did not realize that it was NOT a 13million base but only 2.3million base with 11million restaurant added. I think 3 billion was offered. I felt that he was ignorant and I should not take advantage of that.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'll offer it up again...Bankson, grab it this time...lol, Rhodes Cellar ,

    ReplyDelete
  20. Bankson, Ok I sent it again... let me know if the street comes through too, they've been going missing.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Everyone,
    no one has sent penalty cards, I'm just trying to give money away, no interest in your nic or email addresses, I just need a way to collect them. You could upload them on photobucket too and send the link. 5bil builds up your streets nicely. The two above are just on display. I would add everyone's there.
    Thanks

  24. @Wynn T

    "WYNN T has asked for M 12,618,024,000 for County Road F"

    I would offer 12Bill for the road but I don't have that much cash. please return my money and let me know which road I can have for 6 Billion.


    Is the monopoly board down - Someone did some good old swearing earlier so maybe they have turned it off now.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Rhode,
    Upon logging in this morn, I found a whole series of offers. Your orig and the 2nd try on a diff street. I can return the 2nd batch of M$ as I don't want to be unfair to others.

    There was some slow process on my machine that may have been the delay.

    I get those pesky tax cards, but manage the amounts enough that its no record in anyone's book. While spending 8B, I lost 766mil with 3 chance tax cards. I make a bunch of offers to tie up cash and work with 6-10 buildings of cash left. So with Stairways thats 400-600mil and tax is less than that each time. After 6 or 7 chuncks of 600 I get all my chance cards. Then its just spend like crazy until all the $$ are used up. And all the rejections are back.

    Unless you really want my small tax cards.

    @Kebabman
    Wynn T is such an nice guy, he may sell you that street for what is affordable to you. After today's income maybe 8B. Then you can build like crazy for a week or so.

    Monopoly board is holding all messages for review and there seems to be few of them going in anymore due to the s.l.o.w. response.

    How about you buy up my 5-6 mil streets with the extra, It'll help buffer your sales and move some of them out for me.
    500mil each, would that work for you. Let me know,

    Nice Top Hat,,,

  27. joeri,
    Thanks for the card, Everyone else ,send me any penalty cards you get, I'll fill the screen with them...would be cool to look at.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Joeri,
    Love the Dutch card, very cool(posted above). Keep em coming. Even the smaller ones.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ok, Rhode

    I'll spend up the amount of the one buy to move some of those streets. It is almost payday again. I'll do that later tonight. I think I have had one (measly) sale of 2mil street. Lotta interest in 4 & 5mil ones. Sometimes I get offers of 6mil for 5.7mil street. Others offer 100 and even 200 for same thing. I have been approving offers over 50M for the 5mil streets.

    I have only found one 5mil in last 4 days. My waiting to sell streets are dwindling down. If only a few newbies could show up and appreciate someone offering 2mil streets at bank pricing.

    2mil - bank pricing (the minimum)
    3-3.49mil - 5 to 6 mil offers
    3.5 - 3.99 - 7 to 10mil offers
    4 - 4.49mil - 10 to 24mil offers
    4.5 - 4.99mil - 25 to 49mil offers
    5 - 5.99mil 50mil up
    6.0 - whatever = NOT FOR SALE (24 hr hold can't move)

    Come ONE come ALL
    please buy up 2 or 3 streets.

  30. @Rhode
    Tried to find you but rhode, rhodescellar do not exist in MCS. rhodes exists but most streets there are around a mil +/- base. Most full of buildings. That cannot really be you can it ?

    Rhodes username is RHODES CELLAR.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Simon,
    Cheers for the help...

    Bankson,
    Buy up those 6mils from us, take what you need,
    remember you only get 10 offers a day. Hope the funds helped.

    ReplyDelete
  33. @Rhode
    I only sell 2-4 streets a day. I do not need to accumulate faster than that. I'll be buying the 12 streets spread over a week or less.

    Is there a blog where newer folks hang out at (MCS) where I can peddle my 2mil streets ?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Bankson, those streets are on 24 hr will release them as soon as they clear this afternoon. No hurry on purchases,

    In terms of blogs the main one is still your best bet, and of course market poly is a good place to sell, although thre are many 2-3m streets, but it would be worth having them listed there.
    http://marketpoly.fridaycode.org
    Use the ajax chat and shoutbox to offer your streets. You might be able to drum up some buisness that way too.
    The 10 day offer restriction does not apply to level 5 and 6 players, so watch your status.

    ReplyDelete
  35. what do you mean by offer restriction ?

    The main isn't as useful since it stopped being put on the main screen as a place to go.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It seems that the "Moppers" are cutting us, old players, from the new players(if they really exists). Could be a tatic to reduce losses when they finally end the game...

    ReplyDelete
  37. Bankson,
    There is a 10 bid a day limit for players lev 1-4,
    level 5-6 there's no limit.

    Buyer,
    It seems they've just given up on the blog, probably too much work for them to keep tabs 24 hrs

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'll be giving out 5 bil tommorow for largest penalty card, Joeri so far has the largest at 92 million, get em in and win the cash..the other cards shown are our own..

  39. Oh, I had one for $1+ bil today, but I forgot to take a screenshot. Oh well

  41. Sammy, welcome, thanks for the auction news, will look to hear how it went,

    Everybody, Send penalty cards, At rent time tommorow I'll announce the winner and give instructions how to collect your winnings,

    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  42. just to clarify...

    i get over 400/500 offers a day.90% mostly
    like this "15mill street offer = 15.1 million"

    i clear all offers as fast as humanly possible, i dont like holding up your trading with other players

    if i have sent back a really stupid negotiate price , its because i was sending a message

    however .... if i sent one back swaaping the M for a B ( 10mill=10Bill)

    what that means is if youn offer me about 7/8th you will win it for sure!!!!!!!

    ok another tip*
    my portfolio is now a bit out of shapem as i only prefer selling 10+ streets mimimum

    so if you attack my cheapest streets 6+7+8 million.... YOU WILL GET A BARGAIN FOR SURE!!!

    so a GUIDE price for "gauranteed sales" with the market as it is "today" for discount sales its

    6m=1B
    7m=2B
    8m=4B
    9m=6B
    ...............
    10m=9B
    11m=10B
    ...............
    12m=12B
    13/13
    14/14
    15/15
    16/16
    etc etc

    i hope this is of help

    regards

  52. We are selling the streets on Rhodes Cellar and often take some pretty small numbers, often from low level players to help boost their game.

    We've given out over 80 bil in games ,donations and handouts, and will continue doin so.

    Think of us as the hidden "community chest".

    ReplyDelete
  53. I just want to mention again that the ajax chat on MarketPoly is an excellent place to have some good live interaction with other players and to buy streets. Theres some good conversation going in there so check it out.

  56. Hi Bloggers, It looks as if the main MCS blog is dead - I recently posted something and it didn't show up. I was one of the original bloggers (nick was "donlad") back in the days of Max Power and Flat Stanley - I see Wynn T is doing very well! Then I happily found this blog :) Keep up the good work Rhode!! I would happily pay very good money/asking price for a long street - say 10M plus? - immediate payment! I've reached my limit can't build anything now and will sadly have to quit unless I can buy something bigger. Sorry but I don't know the procedure to submit a bid - not an experienced buyer you know :) My game nick is "georgian" - hope I can trust people here. I tried a couple of unsuccessful bids before coming here but those people didn't even have the courtesy to REJECT the bids so the m$ still sit in limbo.
    Too bad I didn't keep a screen shot of my 2B tax card to submit - wot a ripoff! Cheers...

    ReplyDelete
  57. donlad,
    Currently we only have 5 and 6 mil base streets, we'd be happy to take any price from you with that nick, It's all we can do at the moment. Keep an eye here for auction announcements as well the sellers posting here are good and will usualy find a way to help.
    To bid on a sellers streets you must add them to your friends list under the MCS leaderboards button at the bottom of the game screen. In the pop up window you'll find the friends tab, then add friend.
    Good luck and good buying

  58. G'day bloggers,
