[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!

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

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

[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.
