DJ V Lawrence Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Monopoly is creating an updated board with new properties from several American cities. The city with the most votes gets the coveted Boardwalk space. Plus, the other highest vote get getters get the highest rents too. Let's get those votes up! Choose between the JSC, Kemah Boardwalk, and Musuem District for Houston's featured property.Vote here.It may need more voters if Houston's gonna move up...

torvald Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 The press release Hasbro sent me for this was pretty neat. But I'm not sure what to do with 500 little red plastic hotels.sounds like the beginning of an art project to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlySayWhat Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I'm glad I visit this board often, otherwise I probably would forget to vote. Everyday I come here and see this and am reminded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProHouston Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 I just voted today for Houston And Dallas.Houston has a long way to go to be #1.Does it have to be #1 to win?No, the final city ranking determines the spot on the Monopoly board. The top city gets Boardwalk, the last city gets Mediterranean Ave. We just want Houston (and the JSC) to be as close to Boardwalk as possible.

It's even funnier the legnths to which you all are willing to go in order to "inflate" the numbers.Quote from Prohouston "Let's vote for Houston again today from every computer you use." LOLOLOLOL That's the response I'd expect in Dallas, where they are fighting with Cleveland to be the CHEAPEST property on the board. Dallas is ranked 21 out of 22 cities. Oh the shame. Maybe if the Dallashits rally they can convince everyone that Texas Stadium is the top tourist attraction in America. But seriously, who picked out these strange choices of places to vote on. Kemah Boardwalk is cute, but how the hell did it make the list. I would have thought the Houston Galleria or even the empty Astrodome would be more popular in a national pissing contest like this.

GovernorAggie Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I've also voted, but I must tell you all...just as Maricopa County is right up on Harris County in population---Phoenix has come out of nowhere and is right on Houston's tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the good news, we should pass Philly today and can set our sites on Phoenix and Miami!Well Phoenix is still pulling away, almost 600 ahead now.. My guess is that there was something on their news, or there is some guy who has too much time, can bypass the security measures on the site, and loves Phoenix.

ricco67 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Well, the thing is that one needs to pay attention to isn't the amount of votes a city gets, but the amount of votes a particular attraction gets. Isn't that what determines what is going to be put on the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
