I just cracked the 2Bill rent limit tonight. That's after taxes also.

But with big money comes big fines...

I rolled over into 400K+ territory today. Not much to you Millionaires but meaningdul to me. The second big rig and the 6 cows are doing allright.

Going to New Egg now to work on the cart for the next build. Going to try and cut a few corners on non performance components and focus on CPU,GPU and PSU.

Lovin' it!

I'm on the search again, so if I see something that you'd be interested in, I can check it with you....



The longer the better...

Am starting to stockpile money so the cost should not be a problem.

I've managed to break into the Level 6 ('elite') group now, and have started replacing buildings on some of my roads with Monopoly Towers - yes, those bohemoths..!

I have also been buying up some other roads costing M$ 1,000,000 or more, just to build Green Houses on in order to get more chance cards before discarding them... Needless to say, but the majority of the cards I've been getting have been fines recently, although I have been able to put a safety net onto each of the (non-'throwaway') roads I have and destroy all of the bonuses on METELLA's main road, but I did notice that I wasn't getting as many chance cards while doing that....

I bought a (reasonably) long road, built more than 50 (Green House) buildings on it, but didn't get a single chance card during that time - in fact I doubt I got a chance card for some time before or after that.....




Trendy, do you want some roads to help you on your way..?

Oh, just one more comment for you Matt.....

It might be better if the MCS names weren't underlined - just to make it easier to spot in the game..... Having said that, it won't allow _underscores_ in a username anyway, but still.........

I've been filling my streets with Monopoly Towers. I hav not gotten a lot of chance cards lately, and the ones I have gotten have been bonus buildings or entrepreneur of the year awards.

I have a feeling that a big fine is building up.

^^ +1...

Finally started getting some demo cards again, so I've wiped out all but about one or two of METELLA's bonuses, and I've sabotaged the one that was earning more (of the roads that weren't already zero-earning) so it should see to it that they don't pester me for a while - unless they're also part of a 'team' like us....
