10000 Islands Monopoly!

[Parthini]

I was thinking about how cool it would be to have like a 10000 Islands Monopoly. We could have each of the spots be a different nation. And instead of getting taxes, you run into DEN!! And the utilities could be TITO and the Council of Nine. And each of the railroads could be an ally or other defender group (Urbanites, Texas, ADN, RRA). OOOOH!! And going to jail is like passing the Rejected Realms! But what is parking...?

Any other ideas?

You could park at The Forum9(NS Forum) and you could get a card if you land on a UN building...

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

That's a pretty cool idea, but I am sure some nations would be angered by their placement on the board or by their exclusion.

[Henneth annun]

Cool! I'm in!

[The Undaunted]

That sounds awesome, I'd love to play, but Grub is right, we might run into some problems with people being included or excluded from the board.
If we do play, personally I'd love for the Undaunted to be a spot on the board.

[Re-Yupanqui]

Well, I don't know, people are pretty mature around here. We could have the pieces be little Tacos, or Elderberries...

[Naoi]

Yeah, board placement would be a serious issue. It would hurt some people's feelings to be in the first cheap areas, but still, we could work out a system for this. What if we got the oldest nations and put them in the most expensive spots, and then the newer they are, they cheaper the spot they are on.

[The Undaunted]

That sounds awesome, provided people dont mind being excluded possibly... I'm a relatively new nation, and I wouldn't mind being on a cheap spot at all, I just wanna be on the board.

[Alfonia]

I'm in if that's ok...
Oldest nations could be last, but why don't we just let chance decide who's going to be on the board and where? Some nations like Grub etc. should definately be included of course...

[ALEN]

this sounds ike a great ideas have a few spots for special nations like grub and etc.
and make a competion for the other spots so poeple can't complian if they arn't on the board.

[Henneth annun]

Like we could vote for who should be on it. I love democracy!

[Fleeb]

I think this is a cool idea.

Instead of an election you could have Grub pick a number between 1 and 10000 and people who wanted to be on the board could guess, so whoever was closest got first choice, etc. Would that work?

What are the utilities and railroads???

[New Allectomeister]

Hear Yup! People are mature around here. Gosh, I would never have guessed that The UKS was 10! Anyways, we could make two issues of the game if anyone is excluded. And I don't think we should do it by chance, then somebody might REALLY get offended, like if Naoi or Parthini were some cheap little 60$ property.

I think Grub and Boktavia should be Boardwalk and Park Place, and then the largest nations down from there would be the next expensive ones. I don't think people will mind being cheap, as long as they are in the game. I think that's the only workable solution.

The railroads could be the different department, like Department of Immigration and the others. AND I've got an even better Free Parking. Taco Island!! All we need now is a way to get cards...

Oh, cards themselves could be games in Taco Island.

[Re-Yupanqui]

We could have just Government officials be on the board, like Ad and Mandrill. For utilities, how about TITO and ADN? And a card could be Protect Such and Such, gain 500$ or Lose a turn (either one)

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

What would be jail? The Rejected Realms? DEN II?

[Henneth annun]

I would go with RR.

[Naoi]

Some cards could be "You've been selected to work in the ** Ministry! You get $200!" or stuff like that. And then "You served in a successful TITO mission, go ahead 3 spaces." The possibilities are endless.

Utilities could be power and internet, because you kinda need them both to play NS.

The railroads could possibly be the Directional Pacifics, excluding the normal "The Pacific"

And I think for nations to be included, we should have a "first-come-first-serve" thing going on. We could give nine spots to the members of the CoN by default, and then we'd let other people choose where they'd like to be. To settle any arguments to come, I don't care if I get a cheap spot if it will help people from feeling downgraded or something.

[Alfonia]

Actually I'd love to be the "Cr*ap all I can afford is stupid Alfonia" spot... LOL
No but seriously I think that some nations should be nominated to be in the game, and then they should be given spots by chance. Most fair it seems... But Grub should be on the best spot... and perhaps our delegate on the second best?

[Re-Yupanqui]

Yeah, Grub on Boardwalk and Boktavia on Park Place. THe rest of the CoN can be greens and yellows

[New Allectomeister]

If it's FiCoFiSe, count me in!

[The UKS]

I wouldn't mind being the cheap nation. In fact, I'll be the cheap $60 crap. People will buy my spot more quickly. I would want to be next to either Naoi, Grub, Yupanqui, Kaom, New Boniventure or The Meister!

[Parthini]

We could just make the board oversized to fit all the people we wanted. Remember, were 10000 Islanders! HUZZAH!

[Down under there]

Instead of age we could go by most posts, that way all the active nations get on.

[Henneth annun]

Well, Yavanna dosen't post a lot and I have a feeling he's preety involved.

PS this is my 300th post.

[Alfonia]

Yes let's use the most posts system ;D
Seriously don't you think it's a bit unfair? that system would place me in a better spot than Parthini... that wouldn't be fair at all...

[Mandrill]

No, think so too. But that voting and picking numbers is also very 'complicated' - it takes time, so I think the best and quickest way to do it is by size of nation, right?

OOOHOOOH and we could have these cards saying:
'You ate three elderberries that weren't yours, please put $200 in the bank.'

No, but seriously........can I play too ?

[Alfonia]

Size of the nations isn't completely right either, some nations have more inhabitants than Grub... and they're not half as active... I think nominating nations would be good.

[The UKS]

I am very active.

[Naoi]

That's why I suggested a first-come-first-serve. If people are active enough or interested enough, they'll be on the game board.

[Parthini]

How about we just dodectuple the size of the board so that we can fit whoever we want? That or voting seems cool.
