have fun!

[Fadetoblack]

I didn't get past the pick your country stage :D

[TheOldhamWhisper]

I grabbed two sets and managed to get 3 terraces each on a couple of them - might be skint by the end of tomorrow though!

[bigcumba]

well done, I couldn't get a full set of anything, 2 trips to jail didn't help... best I could get was 3 stadiums.. can't see me being in the top part of the rankings!

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Landing in jail was what helped - had two of the 'orange' set and went to jail, then rolled to complete the set. :)

[bigcumba]

then rolled to complete the set. :)

Ah, if I'd done that I'd have flattened everything in sight... :D

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Ranked 158 now - full 'stadiums' on my orange properties.

[bigcumba]

ranked 2450, just landed the dark blue (Mayfair / Park Lane) pair... not quite sure how to build on them though... am I being a thicko and missing something obvious? It'll wait till tomorrow anyway as that was my final lap of the board.

[mathare]

Do your 7 days run consecutively? If so, I will wait till Monday before starting my game as I am away tomorrow

[TheOldhamWhisper]

You can build next time you land on them.

[bigcumba]

You can build next time you land on them.

Ah, I had a feeling that might be the case... fingers crossed for tomorrow then!

[silax]

well after really screwing my first go up not realising you could only buy 8 properties (i was like a women in the jan sales buy buy buy) started afreash today got the 3 yellows and the 2 big purple ones plus a get out of jail free card ranked 6277 this could get good if i get enough cash to stack hotels and whatever on them all any tips on what to do tomorrow would be cool

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Finished the day ranked 96. Several trips to jail gave me a nice boost when getting out and landing on my stadia for 950-1000 a time! Just one furnishable property to complete now.

The secret is to plan your 8 properties - if I were to start again, I'd look for the orange ones (great when you get out of jail), the blue ones (of course) and possibly the red ones - in case you miss the orange when coming out of jail!

[silax]

ok oldham after day 1 i've got 2 full sets the big blue ones and the yellow ones got 3 empty spaces left what ones do you reckon i should go for and will it be easy to get them built up.

[GlosRFC]

Ranked 748, 3762, and 2917. But that last one, I've got all the greens plus Czech Republic and Brazil so some heavy construction work is taking place tomorrow :D

[TheOldhamWhisper]

ok oldham after day 1 i've got 2 full sets the big blue ones and the yellow ones got 3 empty spaces left what ones do you reckon i should go for and will it be easy to get them built up.

With 3 spaces left, you should be looking at another set - the green ones will create a great chance of hitting them as you go round the 'go to jail' corner or you can go for the orange ones to try and hit as you come out of jail.

Just watch your finances - make sure you have enough to do some expansion work when you land on the properties.

[silax]

how much does the expansion work cost

[TheOldhamWhisper]

First section 50 per terrace (max 250 per stadium)
Second section 100 (max 500)
Third 150 (max 750)
Last 200 (max 1000)

This is for each property, so your yellow set will cost 2250 to fully furnish and your blues 2000. You can only furnish properties when you land on them (but you can have a full stadium on one with nothing on the others in the set) and then collect rent next time you hit them.

[GlosRFC]

That all depends on a) what properties you own and b) how many buildings you want to erect. The more expensive the property/more buildings = more money that you hope to get back in rent. When you land on your property in the game you get given the option to buy and it will tell you the cost.

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Well, I managed to get in the Goal-den ticket draw - so it's just me against a few hundred thousand others :laugh

[silax]

yep i'm in there as well oldham

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Pretty much a nothing day - currently 106.

[silax]

hmm still ranked in the 6,000's got a terrace on park lane thinking about it should have put 2 on there got 1 of the orange properties but other then that not much cash coming in

[Iron Chris]

Just done my first day and collected 3 x Reds..:D 2 x Orange & 1 x Blue.. so think I am happy with that as a start...:)

[GlosRFC]

Up to 393, 1824 and 1192. Got stadiums on Brazil, France and Argentina..whoohoo

[silax]

this is starting to get interesting now
ok after day 3 got a stadium on spain (yellow) stadium on check rep park lane. 1 terrace on mayfair and 4 terraces on usa yellow.
but still only ranked 1,338 wish i'd had enough cash to buy another stadium on mayfair. but hopefully cash should be rolling in by tomoorows go then all i've got to do is land on them easy peasy

[silax]

how many days you got left oldham

[vegyjones]

I'm 617 after day 4

I was like Silax and didn't realise there was a maximum of 8 properties to buy! But I have stadiums on both browns and little else! :(

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Another day of circling the board - 124th at the end of the day with 2 days to go.

[TheOldhamWhisper]

In my second game, I am 834th with Stadia on one of the blues, one of the greens and 2 of the oranges - have enough in the bank to furnish the remaining properties.

[bigcumba]

going better now, stadiums on the 2 dark blues, and up to 448th. Just need to land on them a bit more often and avoid the £200 tax just past go - I've landed on that one at least once every day!

[mathare]

Going to have to give this a go now, it sounds intriguing

[GlosRFC]

Bah! Had a terrible day....managed to complete all my sets but then ended up in jail and, just as I was heading for pay-dirt, I got a "Move to Go" card!!

Just have to wait now to see what the final score is but 219th with £33,644 probably isn't going to be enough.

[silax]

so you higher then 70 glos or am i win2win top dog

[TheOldhamWhisper]

One day left on Game 2 and I am ranked 45. £50813 in the bank and plenty of property - just need a little luck to push for the current leader's 98183 points!! :D

[silax]

how do you know what the leaders got oldham
looks like you might beat me but it might be close

[mathare]

1574 in game 1 with 3 days left. Getting a few stadia in place now and hitting them for a few quid.

[jonahjones]

Ranked 9000th and something after first day. :(

Looking more likely that I'll be entered into the draw for the Leyton Orient season ticket rather than a World Cup ticket. :)

[silax]

you soon start to come down the rankings when you get property and stadiums jonah

[TheOldhamWhisper]

how do you know what the leaders got oldham
...

It was on the email when I completed Game 1 - could have gone up since!

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Game 2 completed - unofficial ranking of 27th with £62221 cash but with one property unfurnished.

[silax]

waiting for my final score to come through oldam but when i finished i was 48th with about £52,000 might over take you but could be close

[mathare]

How can I get it to let me log into my second game? I had been doing one from work and one from home but obviously I'm not in work this weekend and want to keep that game going but every time I try and access the site it logs me into my either game that I played this morning. I have deleted cookies and the like

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Close all your browser windows - this will end the session and when you next go to the site, logging in will allow you to change the email addy before you login.

[mathare]

Cheers Oldham, up to 1100th or so in my first game with a couple of days left. Stadia on 4 sites now but not a great turn today

[silax]

Finished 89th in my first game.
that was crap :wink

[Iron Chris]

Thanks Silax.. :( :wink

Will try and improve on my next game Sir.. :D

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Game 3 - completed my sets on Day 3 - Brown, Orange and Red (new tactics!) - managed to get stadia on 2 of the reds but desperately short of cash now - I may find out what happens if you run out of cash!

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Game 3 and with 3 days to go, I am currently 3333rd! Spooky!

[bigcumba]

game 2, 1 day to go 393rd with over £42,000. Got a stadium on one of the dark blues, all the reds and 2 of the yellows. Looking pretty good at the moment....

[silax]

not doing very well on my second go keep getting sent to go and missing my properties

[Iron Chris]

not doing very well on my second go keep getting sent to go and missing my properties

That's just not good enough Silax..:wink

[silax]

i know it was crap can't see me getting anywhere near now

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Game 3 nicely set up with 2 days to go and only one more property to furnish. Around 2500 in the standings but, should hit top 500 with a little luck.

[GlosRFC]

I couldn't play any of the remaining days second time around - kept getting "undefined" messages popping up in the Flash screen.

So I forgot about it until I received an email today telling me that the highest score is now £122,729

The good news though is that the winner doesn't win the tickets - instead a draw is held of all email addresses that entered the competition.

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Game 3 fizzled into insignificance and final position (subject to the email) was 487th.

[bigcumba]

Game 2 results -

Dear Campbell,

Thanks for playing! Your final score is 78629 and you ranked 98 out of a total of 19877 :)
