WHAT THE FUCK?

>People paying attention to a dumb board game's dumb announcement
>People paying attention to an ongoing presidential campaign
One of these is not like the other, user.

>Global Warming Scare Tactics Fundraising
>Being that brain dead

The pieces represented different professions you fuck.

Thimble = seamstress.
Wheelbarrow = laborer
Shoe = cobbler

The entire theme of the game was to go from rags to riches..

But no, lets cater to the "quirky, so random, lulz" generation generation.

Nicely done, user.

Fucking Parker Bros. ruining my hat-on-thimble power combo.

The game was just a knockoff of an older game about why capitalism is shit.

I'm not saying global warming doesn't exist user.

It's just a fact that any cause or ideaology will become a method for someone to trick stupid people out of their money. See also: Televangelism.

*UNRESTRAINED Capitalism

There's a reason it's called Monopoly

You know, those things which are theoretically but seldom in practice illegal

>he is not styuding paleonthology

Still gay as fuck tho

ITT: Veeky Forums starts to finally understand that games are for children

>Implying children want to fucking play Monopoly

>from rags to riches
user, you start with enough money to buy streets. That's not rags.

A "cause" that wants to counteract coming wave of droughts and climate instability that will cause refugee crisis next to which the whole Syria/Libya thing will be cakewalk. For amount that is trivial compared to what fixing broken shit will cost us, and literally the only opposition is shills paid by coal and oil industry.

So yeah, still stupid. Unless you think tobacco, freons, and lead in fuel, you know, previous "scares" of the same kind, were a-ok?

Oh really? I haven't played monopoly since I was in my teens

What CHILD has the fucking patience to play monopoly?

Adults can't fucking play monopoly.

Fuck Monopoly doesn't even exist to be played, it exists for people to play it incorrectly and then get in fights because they never read or followed the rules.

JUST. LIKE. CAPITALISM.

That doesn't change the fact that someone, somewhere, will exploit it to raise money for themselves, claiming it's to stop global warming.

That was the point of my comment.

Not that Global Warming is a scam, but it's a hot topic, and scammers exist. There's already a huge industry around being fake-environmentally conscious. Or did you think companies were making electric cars to 'save the earth'

Symbolic of today's addiction for leisure and lack of respect for hard work.

>tfw no official Illuminopoly release

If it was official than anyone could get it, and you wouldn't be enlightened if you had it

You sound like someone who actually believes the bit of fake news that was the 97% consensus meme.

I don't know, are you saying a T-Rex is inherently more politically incorrect?

>T-Rex
Symbolic of movies and the entertainment industry, i.e. Jurassic Park
>Penguin
Clearly the tech industry as it is the mascot for Linux
>Duck
Health and beauty industry

Penguin doesn't look like the gentoo penguin desu

I know everytime monopoly comes up people meme about different pieces having different moves and shit and it's literally just a meme

BUT

What if someone actually gave the monopoly pieces different moves and/or stats?

linux wins again

The fact they gave a warning isn't relevant.

They never explained *why* they did it. Why would they change the classic pieces? Why random animals? What purpose does it serve?

No, the "cause" is that Al Gore wanted to start a carbon credit trading union in Chicago that would be worth billions of dollars for his oligarch friends and accomplish nothing. The discussion of limiting greenhouse gas emissions began and ended with "how do we kill all of the Africans before they start industrializing."

It's a dead cause, and anyone trying to convince you otherwise wants your money.

So people scalp old versions that are in the store, selling them out. So the new versions get bought for the pieces.

Is it that hard user? Really?

Can I get any evidence for both of those? Or a source that I can use to look for evidence?

Nigga the penguin is obviously a representation of linux.
And the duck is bubber ducky so that speaks for itself.

>playing capitalist pig Gayopoly
>instead of glorious Eurobusiness

It's like you don't want to own Federal Republic of Germany or something

Fuck those bullshit house rules.

They're made to make a game that isn't suppose to be fair or forgiving, fair and forgiving.

There's a roach infestation going on there, not good property.

>This is why Trump won.

>Small loan of a million dollars

since this is a monopoly thread, anyone played the version you could customize? I used to have it and it was pretty fun for a quick game but I fucking hated the bridge rules

Not so much when you use a sewing machine, but when you sew by hand. And it's at least as much about protecting the finger pushing the needle through the fabric as protecting the finger catching the needle on the other side (that's why it has all those divots on it, rather than being a smooth surface).

>Scottish terrier
When you go to jail, you instead go to "Just Visiting." You still don't pass go or collect $200 when you go to jail, but you don't have any trouble once you're there.
>Top Hat
Start off with some extra amount of money (determining how much is appropriate would require playtesting)
>Car

This reads like kangz memeing. White man tryin' to keep the African down, eh?

>Or did you think companies were making electric cars to 'save the earth'
Aside from Tesla, most car companies make electric cars to offset the emissions from their more profitable but gas hungry SUVs and trucks. Any one that thinks it is to "save the Earth" has swallowed the advertising bait.
That said electric cars are a decent product, but only if you live in an area with charging stations and/or your commute is well with in the battery range of your car. In other words first world suburban and urban people.

>it exists for people to play it incorrectly and then get in fights
Monopoly fights can get heated. It's part of what makes the game so much fun.

This is due to the manchildren effect. The people (millenials) who voted in the polls like rubber duckies, T-Rexes, and penguins because they're still children inside, rather than adults.

Penguin represents open source programming.
Rubber ducky represents youtubers and camwhores
Trex represents bodybuilding and super male vitality.

source?

So basically women.

It was an internet vote. They let the internet decide what pieces they wanted, and these were the winners.

So we gonna start a dictatorship of the proletariat or what, comrades?

Hang on to your Boots people, they will be worth Millions

Wakfu

Hell, I saw these new tokens in a monopoly box just a couple of days ago and assumed they were just another novelty option.

Fortunately they didn't get rid of most of the good ones...thimble is garbage and wheelbarrow is outclassed as far as driving around the board goes.

God tier is still scruffy dog wearing top hat.

Says the man who's complaining about monopoly pieces on a Mongolian throat singing board.

And the battleship?

Maritime Sailor, Monopoly was created after the end of the Philippine Wars

The one who sacrificed his progeny to the dark lord?

Battleship be having some competition for best piece with the fucking T-rex now

quads confirm

STAT 'EM
>Penguin: Moves 1 step less but earns more money when passing GO
>Duck: If it ends on a spot with another piece, it gets bonus cash. You must yell "BONUS DUCKS" to get the money
>T-Rex: Can crush Car

Literally nobody on this board gives a shit about monopoly and you know it. Can't you find something that actually matters to you to sperg about?

I'm a raging liberal, from a family full of environmental scientists, and it exists. It's the liberal alternative to stuff like gold buy scams

Has anyone started selling pre-Beachfront property yet?

No, but the cocoa bean industry is sinking tons of money into land that isn't good for growing cocoa beans yet

My problem isn't that they replaced the pieces but rather that they all seem to be made out of plastic now.

t. Marx

The original game actually was about Land Value Taxation and why it should exist. It was only tangentially related to the "laissez faire vs regulation" debate. It was not a Socialist game, it was a Georgist game.

Can we all just agree the thimble was garbage. I will not miss it.

Thanks for demonstrating exactly what they were talking about user.

Tux the Penguin is the mascot of Linux in general, not just Gentoo.

The name Gentoo was chosen because Gentoo penguins swim quickly, and the Gentoo distro is supposed to be fast and light compared to other Linux distros.

But global warming is a hoax user.

>global warming is a hoax
even posted as bait/ironically, this sounds painfully stupid.

T rex represents the MOTHERFUCKING T REX

Don't you morons ever get tired of being wrong

>climate "change" (gotta rename it when both cooling and warming didn't work) will cause hurricanes or some such that will destroy the planet (day after tomorrow syndrome)
>Trump will never win

Please tell me all about what you think the future holds you colossal fucking moron.

The game pieces were originally just whatever charms or doodads you had lying around anyway.

That's against the rules, you jackass. You can only use 1 (ONE) superpower per game.

Well, "lore"-wise, you don't start with that much money. "Lore" wise, that monopoly guy simply gives it to you, because he realizes you've got, like, a special talent or some shit.

I remember having this old kid's book that came with my copy a long time ago.

I love that "Pawns can eat units right in front of them" meme. It seriously made me laugh so hard the first time I heard it, that I ended up coughing really badly for the next 5 minutes afterwards.

Name the last time you saw a living cobbler

I will fucking WAIT.

Are we witnessing the birth of Monopoly: Age of Aevianni Edition?

Some of the "classic" pieces aren't as classic as you think. Monopoly has constantly swapped out old pieces that they felt weren't relevant anymore over the years.

Holy fuck that was incredible. Country bumpkins are nuts.

You ain't never bought a suit before? Nigga sheeeit, don't quit your day job cuz you can't get a new one.

>not wanting a free thimble with every purchase of a Monopoly board
It's like you don't enjoy sewing your own cosplay/LARP outfits user.

I'm guessing you've never been to a city before.
