WoTOPOLY at the Black Tower: A fun quiz and cut-throat property empire game for all **Game On!!**

[Ithillian Turambar]

 

And so it begins ... WoTOPOLY at the Black Tower.

 

Do you think Rand, the AS, the BT and all the rest of the gang are doing a good job of running Randland? Do you think you can do better? The Black Tower now offers you the chance to take over and, using your knowledge of the Wheel of Time books, financial acumen and ability to spot people landing on YOUR PROPERTY, to do just that. Based on the ever popular Monopoly game, WoTopoly will allow you to buy land and utilities, build property, spend and earn money and even take a Chance with the M'Hael or the Lady Dragon's wishes and whims. But beware of the Whitecloaks and their fortress, unless you manage to find an 'Escape from the Fortress of Light for Free' card.

How to play

 

We are basically going to be playing Monopoly with all the usual rules from that game. All teams will begin with 1500 Marks and will progress around the board buying property, building and charging people rent if they land on their spaces. Most things are familiar, but there are a few things unique to this version.

 

1. The Mods will roll the Twin Dice. They will only roll the Dice when the team requests that they do so. To roll the Dice, simply post Roll the Dice in bold and your team colours.

 

2. To initially purchase a property you must land on it. If you do not wish to buy, the property will not be auctioned off. If you wish to Buy the property you must post the word Buy in bold and your Team color.

 

3. To access your bank account to make purchases and build, you must provide a password. The password will change everytime and will be the answer to the Question provided by the bank. Fail to provide the correct password and you will be given another chance. You will have three attempts to give the correct password before your account is locked. You will then need to roll the dice and move on. To give your password type Password in bold and your team colour along with the answer.

 

4. You cannot build on properties until you own the whole colour group. To Build on a Property you must alert the bank to your request by posting Build in bold, in your Team Colour instead of asking to roll the dice. You cannot select to Build until you have completed all of the normal actions that occured as a result of you landing on your last space. The bank will then ask for your password as above. If you successfully provide it, you will be allowed to add your buildings to your property. When you have finished building, you must ask for the Dice to be rolled if you wish to move on.

 

5. If you spot that another team has landed on your Property you can charge them rent. You do not need a password to do this. Simply Post Rent - Team Name - Property Name and the bank will check if you are correct. If you are correct, both teams play will be halted until the other Team confirms they will pay. The Bank will transfer the funds and confirm rent has been paid. Both teams may then ask for the Dice to be rolled. It is YOUR responsibility to watch for other teams landing on your property ... if they manage to roll the Dice before you claim Rent - tough.

 

6. If you are captured by the White Cloaks, you have three ways to escape. 1. Bribe the guards 50 marks, 2. Use an Escape for Free Card, 3. Try to roll a double. You have three chances to roll a double - if you fail on the 3rd attempt you will need to bribe the guards 50 marks anyway. Again, you must request each Dice Roll and/or action yourself. There is no auto roll in this game. Choose your Action by typing it in Bold and your Team colour. Bribe, Use Card, Attempt Double You will NOT be able to collect Rent whilst you are imprisoned.

 

7. If you land on the Summoned by the Dragon or M'Hael cards - you will need to solve an Anagram before you will be able to take your card. If you are successful, you will be given your card and the actions required. The bank will automatically complete these actions for you if possible. You must then ask for the Dice to be rolled if you wish to move on. If you are not successful you will not get another chance and will need to roll the dice. Please post your answer in bold and your team colour so we do not miss it.

 

8. Yo can view the whole list of board spaces, property, costs and rental values and also who owns who on the WoTOPOLY Doc. There is a link to this at the bottom of the Mod Posts. We will try and keep it as up to date as possible.

 

9. Do NOT quote the Mod Game Posts.

 

10. You may trade cards between teams. What arrangements you make are up to you. When you have reached an agreement, BOTH TEAMS must post Trade - Property Name - A to Team B - Transfer XXXX Funds/Property The bank will ask you for a password and either Team may answer the Question. The bank will then perform the Transfer. Once it has been completed you may ask for the Dice to be rolled.

 

11. If you run out of money, there will be no Mortgaging. You may sell property and buildings back to the bank for half their value - Sell These items will then become available for other Teams to purchase. You must provide a password to use this service. You may also trade the properties direct to the other team Trade. If you choose this option they will be worth their full value. You may not trasde building however, so will need to sell them back to the bank first.

Are you sure about the Ravens? I thought of them but then thought about Mat and started second guessing myself.

Hello Taltos :) Most Ironic Purchase Ever lol

[WildTaltos]

Hehe isn't it? So since we do not own the whole colour, cannot do anything with it yet, right? So we can just move on?

[Ithillian Turambar]

This is true.

[Nolder]

can we roll again?

[Ithillian Turambar]

Of course you can, you just need to use the Roll the Dice Command. There is NO auto roll in this game. Teams will need to get used to that. It is so it is more likely you will be able to claim rent from those who forget to move on lol.
