Free Parking / Monopoly Question

[Stinkerbell]

I've been running the auto, which works great by the way, but I'm not sure if there's something wrong with it or what the deal is.
I notice that I never buy houses or apartments for my properties.  At first I thought it might not be an option, but the bots buy them.  Is there a game setting I need to use.  There are no advanced user settings on the auto.  I'm playing under the Pogo Tab and I can't change options there, but that shouldn't matter because like I said, the bots are able to buy them.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong, if anything?

There are no advanced options since you only need to pass go to advance in rank

Ahhhhh, that explains why when using the auto, I never take part in property auctions.  I get some property, though, so I must be taking part in SOMETHING - whether it's actually buying it or taking part in a trade with a tin head.

I hesitated on buying the auto, but since the Bots do all the wheeling and dealing without me anyway and build, build, build.  I figured it was less frustrating to just let the auto play.  The auto, however, does trade away property if it thinks it to be to your advantage..........which is not always the case, lol.

I know!  The auto traded my "Park Place"** with the bot who had "Boardwalk"** for a couple of million.  Needless to say, that bot trounced us all when we landed on his built-up properties.

** Sorry, can't remember the new city names for those expensive blue properties.  Montreal, maybe?

i play on the custom tab and change they option to where everyone makes a lot of money. turn on free parking and make it give 5 million and add taxes to free parking. also check the option where you get 4 million for landing on GO! it makes the games last. i also set the games to end in 60 or 90 minutes so you will end games and get credit for passing go incase pogo decides to crap out and disconnect you you wont lost a ton of GOs.

Will you rank out faster?

I would certainly hope so. I played speedy all the way through.

thank you, i was playing the regular game and it's taking forever. i'm at rank 27.
I will try it.

I had thought that playing under the speedy tab would NOT make you rank up faster since each player already has properties and such thereby making the game go faster and requiring less times around the board.  :-\

Or am I missing the boat?  :-[

[Homer]

I think it goes faster because you don't have to wait for those purchases to go down. If you are worried about going bankrupt just play a custom game and max out the money

Thank you for posting this question. I too wondered why I was not buying any houses while the bots were. I could not find anywhere to change this. I, too, want to experience forclosure from a Mortgage Co like the rest of the country.  :ooo

You go, girl!   :^*  Maybe Pogo will come up with some kinda homeless game just about the time you're foreclosed on!  Hope it doesn't cost many gems for the special challenges though.    :)))

Too late. Howard Stern has that covered already.  :oo
