How have you been cheating?

They stopped the re-registering bug.

Just multiple accounts, that's why I said 'cheating', as I haven't been re-registering or anything that exploits a bug :/.

i don't have the option to Demo the hazard:

This street has been sabotaged with a hazard building - it pay's no rent - it's a prison

Well, yeah... you have to 'wait' to get one from a chance card :confused:

Probably more than one East St and Blue Hill, sometimes roads cut off where there's a postcode change. And I know how you feel...

You don't gain anything from that???
As you have to offer full price for the road. So you waste money buying something twice. Maybe good later in the game when there is no more roads to buy.

Depends if you go back and forward 10 times or not, buying off your main for the maximum 1.5x and then buying back for the minimum again.

Also, it bugs sometimes so that you can add streets to the deal and it doesn't give you the "enormous" error - hence getting three $1mil streets for $1mil.

I wonder if they will bring in e mail verification to stop (or slow down) the multiple accounts?

Doubt it - it wouldn't stop or slow down multiple accounts really as anyone who owns a domain can have an unlimited number of email addresses.

Last pay day, happy with that. Was hoping to build a Monopoly Tower before the reset, just to screenshot it, but I'm not level 5

Nationally? What's that?

Yeah, rubbish score, i've only been playing for 2 days.

Where is that? I'm guessing Gambia

Christo said:
Theres actually no point in adding more than one hazard on a long road is there? - pity.

Definitely - it means they need more than one bulldozer to clear the street.

Amp34 said:
Yeah, although oddly there are other people who own streets in the country.

You only appear on the leaderboard for where your first road was bought. I own the most streets in Nassau, but because my first road was in Bristol I only appear on that leaderboard.

DampCat said:
So, i'm not going to bother after reset. It's pretty pointless on the face of it. Found an excellent area in the US, not another player in sight and i've got at least 12 $1m streets with room for 40 - 50 houses on sitting there ready to be snapped up... but the game just doesn't have a piont to it!

So meh!

That's up to you really isn't it

. It's your choice to build inane streets in the middle of nowhere instead of trying to claim an island/area. We could all do that, but we're not, because as you say it's not fun...

Oh and for the record I'll be going for 3x$1mil streets.

PS. Can anyone else not register? I think they may have disabled them now.

Russinating · 17 Sep 2009 at 12:32

I don't know if many of you know but you only appear on the leaderboard for where your first street was bought. So it's a mistake to do what I did first time round and buy my street in Bristol and then everywhere else, as Bristol is so busy I just got raped left right and centre.

Post-reset my first road is going to be in the middle of nowhere

Ditto

Going by that, should we all go for the same area (ie skippi's) or spread out? I did have my eye on a dust track in Belize, but as I can't create a new account I can't see what the leaderboard's like for it.

Fine by me. The entire area is littered with loads of available £1m roads.

Just thought I'd say that area is amazing skip. Good find! It's almost tempting me not to bother with Nassau it's so lucrative

Russinating · 17 Sep 2009 at 17:39

I'll be going for a random street in the sticks for my first purchase and then next two $1mil'ers on Nassau.

Regarding the multiple accounts, I doubt anything will be done. How can it? It's no different to your mate playing then giving up after a week and saying "hey do you want my streets?". They've already fixed the selling back and forth issue and really that's all they can do.

Oh and yeah, I'll be using an OCUK| prefix

AcidHell2 said:
Have they? I bought streets of myself today and it only registered the minimum price for the first road. So got $30million worth of streets for 1million.

Will be using OcUk prefix, As for where I'm starting got 6 possible locations + OcUK island but depends on multi account and the new rules.

Yeah sorry, I meant they've added a transfer limit. If a road changes hands a couple of times you get a "This road has changed owner too many times. Please wait 24h and try again" error.

Russinating · 17 Sep 2009 at 21:45

Up at 6am, that's the plan!

Yes, I have nothing better to do.

Russinating · 17 Sep 2009 at 23:41

New rule!

Q: How does daily tax work?
A: There is only one certainty in MONOPOLY City Streets. Tax. Just like in real life, tax now plays an integral part of the game. Tax works as follows: The first 5 streets owned are not taxed. Thereafter the current tax rate is 3% PER STREET you own. For example, if you own 15 streets your tax will be 30% of your total rent collected every day. If you own 25 streets your tax will be 60%. Remember, at 38 streets you will effectively be taxed 100% and so won’t be making any profit and your bank balance won’t increase.

I hope they scrap it, or it's removed after the first week. Absolutely ridiculous otherwise.

Russinating · 18 Sep 2009 at 07:37

We're a go...

Russinating · 18 Sep 2009 at 07:57

Yup, and I'm having trouble registering. Anyone else?

Russinating · 18 Sep 2009 at 08:11

molinari said:
Anyone managed to register yet?

Once, but I'm creating an acc for Psy and my friend too and can't register again, just doesn't do anything.

Russinating · 18 Sep 2009 at 08:34

How did you register so many times?! D:

This is a royal pain in the arse.

Russinating · 18 Sep 2009 at 08:51

Does anyone fancy registering for me, as this is just pointless. Email in trust if so :/

Depending on how they set up the network it could be a worldwide setup, hence forth nassau's node may be getting overhauled.

Register in the UK, then wait a bit and try buy in Nassau

But I don't want to be on the UK local leaderboards, that's kind of the whole point

.

Plus I've tried two different areas - the Cook Islands and Africa and neither allow me to register still.
