If I build it, will they come?
2It’s Friday again!
You know what that means. Once again, I try to distract you all with a video game online. I won’t pretend I’m particularly good at this one, but I still dare you to come to knock me down a peg. I’ll have you know I beat @Chadp so bad, he quit.
What game? Monopoly!
What time? Noon CST.
Why? I can’t answer that, you have to seek it within yourself.

PS. Each game only fits 6 players at a time (I think) so we might have to get more than 1 game set up. If we do, I’ll suggest we run it tournament style, until we have 1 monopoly monarch.

Traditional Monopoly is quite a time commitment. Do we know approximately how long the game might last?
I’m putting a hard cap of 1 hour on it.
Does this mean you are endorsing monopoly money as legal tender on the meh site now?
@Kidsandliz If you can figure out how to deposit it at the bank, I’ll think about it.
We still don’t accept cash payments.

We’ve noticed it doesn’t work perfectly with Safari, if that’s your browser, and the game has a timer, so if you tab away, it’ll roll for you and move you when the timer runs out.
@Cythwulf After providing my name, it tells me the room no longer exists. Chrome - incognito mode
@medz You might need to try again. @Thumperchick said it did that to her the first time too. She tried a second time and it worked.
@Cythwulf I’m gonna start the game with whoever we have in at 12:20
Listen, I’m just saying I’ll go easy on you all. I’m a fair landlord.
Having trouble with cards being stuck on screen… also can’t see my balance…
@medz looks like the window sized wrong?
@Cythwulf zoom and window size have no impact…I want to refresh, but will probably get booted.
@medz We can restart.
@Cythwulf After refresh, it was working, but it reset me. (I’ll have to remember that strategy if I’m losing)

Well, we ran out of time, but I think the numbers show the direction it was headed.
@Cythwulf Not shown here: the secret, hidden player of the game, @tnhillbillygal
@Cythwulf Very convenient time for you to take a screenshot…
@medz Those numbers did jump around something fierce, didn’t they?
@Cythwulf
Were you wearing your lucky football jersey?
@therealjrn I don’t actually have a lucky football jersey, though I’m trying to get a lucky huttball jersey made.

@therealjrn Yup!
@therealjrn Go Frogdogs!
