They play it up as "Family game night" then limit it. Anyone know how to contact so you can get more than 1 log in? If not, will have to mail Hasbro ( Monopoly makers ) and thank them for upsetting the kids.

you might try someone at the blog Monopoly City Streets

and a woot woot got a major street in my area. My own street still isn't listed in the selling section but oh well.

Have you seen the leaderboard...

How can he/she be that far in front if it's only just re-started.

It could be that "The Man" has limited it to a "per household" type setup, but it still doesn't stop those who want to cheat - one 'master' account at home, one at work, one wherever else.... The 'master' login just buys (at a knockdown price) from the other logins after the building/s have been done................

Yeah but can't buy from someone at less than its "value" which is the price plus buildings. I tried to make an offer and it listed a minimum price as this.

This taxes thing sucks too. Looks like they are trying to limit the number of streets everyone owns. From the way I read it, the first 5 are tax free. After that every street you buy adds 5% till you earn no rent and therefore have no cash coming in to buy more. At 25 properties ( 5 tax free and 20 taxed = tax rate of 100% ). Man this sounds like the goverment running this game!

Have 1 of my original logins. ( LALt - Lower Alsace Lieutenant ) The kids can not get on theirs though. Whats everyone elses logins so I can add you to "friends" and we can see how everyone is doing. On the plus side keep getting the buldoze cards so if anyone is putting up block bldgs. on you let me know. I will also use some block bldgs. on them for you. Our own personal hit list.

Yeah looks like someone has found a way to cheat the game. The top 8 are all over 550,000,000,000 and they are all labeled cheater. Hell even some of the local top 10 for my area are way over the top on scores.
