Hi girls! This is going to be bedlam. Shall we ask Amanda if we can borrow their spreadsheet to keep track? Also, should we have a day on which we roll, or should be just go for free-for-all?SPREADSHEET LINK
Hi Everyone, I definitely think we'll need that spreadsheet. I'm good with what the majority decide on when we roll. :)
Monopoly Mayhem!!! Whoot! Here we go... I agree on the spreadsheet and I do think we need to decide on a day to roll. I like Monday, but am easy so will go with whatever team decides.
Monday's seem good. Most team challenges seem to be Wednesday's, Friday's or Saturday's so it will be good to keep this separate.
Okay, I have to say. I was looking at the home page and saw a TCF Monopoly thread with a bunch of initials and then saw the number of new posts was like 312!!! WTF??? How did we get so many new posts already - what did I miss? OMG??? I clicked into it and realized it's not our thread! DOH!!! So there is another massive game going on besides ours it seems :-P We're not the only crazy ones!
Haha yes i think that is the one that Teresa is playing, i think there are 7 in that group.Monday sounds good to me, is that a today Monday, or shall we leave it till next Monday because of Carnies?
Yep, I agree too. Way too much reading to do!
I found my way here! Next Monday works for me.

I'll dive in after you - seeing as fate has so far ensured I continue to land on your owned spaces, V, which means I'm reading double the number of books, I'm hoping for a big number...First Roll: 6 + 2 = 8
Landing on Vermont Avenue - Wishlist Shelf - Must read 1 book to own. Must read 2 books if the property is owned.

No you can keep it and use it for another time, you should be able to just roll again now

Roll #1 = 3 + 3 = 6 Starting at Go landed on Oriental Avenue " 2013 Shelf
Must read 1 book to own. Must read 2 books if the property is owned.
Here you guys go! Fancy spreadsheet just for you!https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
I changed the drop down menu just for your game. This one's labeled for your game, so you should be good to go.
What I've done in my game is color in the community chest/chance cards that are used up in grey. If someone owns a property, just use the drop down for the correct name. And then you can write in your names for the places you've landed under "Currently On" so you know if you're working toward a property or paying rent.

Community Chest
2. Get ou..."
I've filled in the spreadsheet up to this point. Do we trust ourselves not to mess it up if we're all inputting info, or do we need someone in charge of the spreadsheet?

Must read 1 book to own. Must read 2 books if the property is owned."
It's a race between Louise & VNerd!
Crap. I just rolled a 2 + 4 = 6. So now it's a 3-way race for Oriental!
Question about the shelves: I don't need to look all through that shelf, right? If I find a book I want to read, and I look through the top shelves of that particular book, and it's been tagged as 2013 by 23 people, then it works, right? So
works?

Perhaps one person can volunteer and then have a backup person or two in case they're busy with RL?
I was coming here to question that, I found this in the disvussion thread."Pat, I'm sorry that it's not gonna work for you. Although I want to let you know that the shelves aren't someone else's shelf. It's basically a collective shelf of all books that have been put on a shelf called favorite or 2013 or books I own. So if you have a shelf called any of those (or any of the other one's listed in the game) then your books will be on there too. "
I'm going to read
shelved 20 times as 2013.
I don't mind being one of the people updating the spreadsheet.
Did we get everyone to do their first roll.I feel like we are missing someone....let me find our list of players.

Monopoly Rules
• You do not need to wait for the other player to finish reading before you take your next turn. As soon as you're done reading, go ahead and roll.
• Each property is represented by a shelf. For each grouping of shelves/properties you would read a certain amount of books from that shelf. Once you finish the amount of books you would then “Own” that shelf.
• If you land on an “owned” shelf you would have to read a certain amount of books above what the owner had to read.
• If one person “owns” all of the books in a group (think Mediterranean and Baltic) and another player lands on their properties they would be able to recommend at least one of the books that the player has to read.
• Utilities – For the Electric Company – Read a book where the characters have electric chemistry. For Water Works – Read a book that makes you cry. Books have to be 150 pages or more.
• If a player lands on an “Owned” utility, then the owner will recommend a book with electric chemistry or that makes them cry.
• Railroads – For Reading Railroad – Read whatever you want. For Pennsylvania Railroad – Read a book set in Pennsylvania. For B&O Railroad – Read a book that someone else thought stunk. For Short Line – Read a novella. Page minimum 150 for all but Short Line. 25 page minimum for the novella.
• If a player lands on an “owned” railroad, the owner will recommend a book for that specific railroad.
• Chance and Community Chest – there are 12 cards for each. If a player lands on one of those spots they will roll the dice a second time and then would “pull” the corresponding card and do whatever it says on the card. Once a card is used, it will be out of play unless needed to finish the game. Books for this would need to be at least 150 pages.
• Being in Jail – To get out of jail you would need to have one of the get out of jail free cards, roll doubles on one of your next three turns or read a book where a character is arrested or has been in jail. Books for this would need to be 150 pages or more.
• Just Visiting – Read a novella of your choice, 50 page minimum
• Free Parking – Read any book 100 pages or more
• Go – Read any book of 200 pages or more
• Luxury Tax/Income Tax – Read a book with a rich character, a really poor character or someone that works in a bank. 150 pages or more
• Each roll, you'll post your starting spot, the roll and your new spot on the board.
• When you finish your book you'll post the spot your on, book name, rating, when it was finished and a short review of the book. If you were supposed to read a book that had a specific element (water works utility, book that made you cry), then please mention that in the review.
• Re-reads are allowed.
