[Audyssey] support needed
hello to all i have written the following to hasbro limited int he UK bopit download i feel needs to be altered, and please if anyone agrees with my below letter in the UK, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] event he americans should push for it as this is a step back, not forward. i ahve now had to purchase a bop it extreme 2 to satisfy my bop it hunger lol hello as a blind fan of hasbro products, i am extremely disappointed in the way the bop it download is played out. firstly i was told via the hasbro company, that the colours, yellow and green, were not utilized in solo modes. to my delight however, when they were needed in level 4 of the bopit download product, they were voices, and i was able to figure out, which side of the bop it controler was yellow and which therefore, was green however the complications have arrisen when level five and six are attempted to be played As a totally blind player, how can i detect if a different control has been lit up when another one is announced, thus prompting me to do nothing for example if i hear spin it, i automatically reach for spoin it, but if pull it lit up, it is my understanding that one hears, spin it, but has to miss that turn as something else has lit up this now makes the game, from this point on virtually unusable which to e is discriminatory as all of the other hasbro bop it generations have been completely and utterly accessible granted, we can play levels seven to ten respectively, as they mirro 1 to 4 levels but in sound, no difficulties are encountered there However of course levels 11 and 12 will play a sound and possibly, though i assume this is a random timer, light up another control on the body of the unit may i suggest, a possible update to the bop it firmware that one can download and this should not be too hard to implement and in my view, make the game even more of a challenge fore a sighted colleague have it whereby in levels 5 and six, one has to do the opposite of the command voiced so if you hear pull it, you ahve to spin it, bop it remains as bop it, twist it can be flick it for example, these are just suggestions i feel that this can be easily achieved and would thus mean that, although i feel i am stepping backwards now and getting the bopit extreme 2, which in my view having a score of 250 is no where near as compettative and challenging as 1000, will suffice for now, until an alternative arrangement can possibly be made to enable a blind person or visually impaired, to complete this bop it download, if played solo i am displeasured by the fact that up to level 4 we have no difficulties but as mentioned, from level 5 6, 11 12 and maybe the final three levels 13 to 15 respectively, we can't play and if we can't complete this game in solo mode i see no virtue in continuing to play i do hope you have find my ideas constructive, and i'd be interested, when time permits as the holidays are fast upon us, to recieve a response i'd be happy to test out the idea i have outlined if it were implemented, and if indeed one can update the firmware of the device to alter game play, as would other united kingdom based blind friends of mine thanks, william lomas --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] distributing the magazine
Hello all Let me say right up front I'm going away tomorrow so may not be able to read alot of responses to this idea for about a week. I've often wondered how to extend the distribution of the magazine to blind/vi computer users. The first thought that comes to mind is seeing if I provided the CD filled with various demo games, and issues of the magazine if an ADP [Assistive Devices Program] vender would be willing to give this CD to a client when setting up their PC. This mainly applies to Canada. I'm quite sure I could get one vender to go along with me on this. I've dealt with him for a good few years now. However there are other venders I don't have the rapport with and this is where someone else could come in. The person I know is from Sudata, however if someone here was in good say with MSC would they agree to give a client a CD with some free or demo games along with the mag? I know ADP is a Canadian program, but perhaps some of you people in the states or otherwise might be able to inquire about the same concept. I think this would be a fabulous opportunity to extend the audience we have, both as active parrticipants on lists or consumers for the devs. I hope this all makes some sense. I'll check in on the replies as often as possible, or get them all next weekend when we come back from our holidays. Happy Hollidays everyone!!

Re: [Audyssey] Product Security was Keys for my laptop
The recent trend away from DRM in music downloads is a great illustration. The fact of the matter is simple. Is the loss of sales from pirates worth severely inconveniencing your loyal and dedicated customers? In the end, you are troubling far more of the honest folks than you are stopping dishonest ones. The music industry is learning the hard way. We believe that in producing keys the way we have, we're bolstering loyalty in our customers. We applaud Apple for the lack of activation required in the Mac OS X operating system, and their dedication to DRM-free music. Other music download sites are following suit. It is, for all the reasons above, and all of TOm's reasons below, the right thing to do.

[Audyssey] Product Security was Keys for my laptop
Hello Che, Yes, XHEO is a very secure licensing library and product security system, but unfortunately I was unable to buy it before releasing Monte do to a lack of cash. I'm still thinking of buying it for future games, but I also know what customers have to put up with when using hardware based keys. For example, I have three computers in my house. I'd like to buy a game and install it on all of them. If it is hardware locked i either have to request new keys for each one or buy a copy for each computer which really isn't that fair or worth it. Also there is the issue about the developers ability to continue to give out new keys. Let's say i buy a game from developer x, he works alone, he gets seriously hurt in a car crash. i need a new key for reason x, but since the guy is in the hospital or maybe even dead I can't ever install that game again. That isn't exactly fair either, but the developer chose that root because some jerks were pirating his games, and the inocent customers have to pay the price.

Re: [Audyssey] Sales figures was: Loquendo voices
Hi Che, Glad to hear Rail Racer is beginning to pick up sales. Yeah, 220 isn't a fantastic amount, but it is a reasonable number seeing this list only has around 200 to 250 subscribers at any given time. The Audyssey Magazine is likely read by more than that, and it is difficult to say how many people you have reached that decided not to buy the game for one reason or another.

[Audyssey] Game Sales was Loquendo voices
Hi Bryan, I think you hit the nail on the head. The biggest and most fundimental problem for blind developers is general awareness of accessible games for the blind. One time on the agdev list we tried to figure out how big the blind gaming market is right now. Tops we guessed around 2000 current blind gamers world wide. That is a drop in the bucket of the potential market size. Another fundimental problem we face is trying to figure out how many blind potential customers have computers. I can say from personal experience I have met some blind people out there who didn't even know about screen readers like Jaws, Window Eyes, etc let alone accessible games. They basically attended some school, live at home with mom and pop, and are isolated from the rest of the blind comunity. It makes you wonder how many others are out there in total ignorence of the accessibility revolution going on around them. We also have the age factor to consider. It is a well known fact that the largest majority of blind and low vision world wide are elderly. This might seam stereotypical, but elderly people might be more interested in the kitchens Inc games or the All In Play games. You might see an 80 year old woman playing Black Jack, Monopoly, Yatzi, but it seams unlikely they would by Shades Of Doom, Tank Commander, or something along that line. Finally, even though there might be a potential of 2000 customers that will hear about your game there is no garentee they will like it. I admit I don't like every accessibl game out there, and my own collection is pretty small. As a result of having been sighted before I tend to buy or play games that show a similar degree of quality that I am use to such as the GMA Games, Rail Racer, Troopenum, etc. That happens to be my reason for not buying allot of games. Someone else might not like a game because it is too violent, it doesn't have enough replay value, it isn't exciting enough, bla. Basically, they don't like it for one reason or another and the game company loses sales. Bryan wrote: > It is rather depressing.

Re: [Audyssey] Keys for my laptop
I use hardware based keys for the simple reason it is much harder for pirates to crack your software and distribute free copies of your games. I offer replacement keys in a timely manner for those that have hardware failures, but this has only occured a handful of times out of 200 plus copies sold. I know that there are lots of pirated versions of developers hard work floating out there, and I wanted the most secure path available, because if I findRail Racer being distributed as a crack, I am going to unleash one very dedicated lawyer and pay whatever it takes to find the culprits. Despite the best efforts of some talented jerks, as far as I know, RR has not been cracked, and that is a good thing for all of us. If I were a new developer about to release my first commercial game, I would seriously consider going with a hardware based serial key system, there will be a few inconveniences, but for me, having a secure product is well worth it.

[Audyssey] Sales figures was: Loquendo voices
With a good bit of holiday sales, Rail Racer is somewhere around the 220 unit mark right now, not spectacular, but not terrible either. The biggest marketing push for RR has come from word of mouth, as people realize there is a great deal of replay value in RR with the online tournaments and ability to create your own tracks to share with friends. Also, we have some excellent volunteers arranging tournaments, handling new tracks and keeping the RR community flowing. I think in the future it is going to be very important to have that online social aspect of gaming to have a successful long term shelf life, as most games just don't have a lot of replay value for the most part. I don't think anyone is ever going to make a living selling accesible games, there just aren't enough blind gamers out there, but for a hobby that brings in a little extra cash, it isn't bad.

Re: [Audyssey] Keys for my laptop
Hi Liam, Yeah, it is not an easy choice by any means. At first I had plans to go the hardware id root, and then my laptop died, I picked up a used laptop cheap, and discovered Microsoft screwed me over the hardware id and product activation in Vista. That seriously changed my mind about the fairness of hardware based product keys. It is nice and secure, but unfair if you legally paid for the software, and the developer in question decides to stop offering keys or asks too much money to get a replacement. In a business small as ours hardware based ids is a major hastle. I am sympathising with Phil trying to contact each customer that failed to enter his or her hardware id so they can get their keys. That's more work than I want to put up with personally.

Re: [Audyssey] recording games being played?
Hi Gary, I haven't seen those issues with Real Player you have, but I am running Window Eyes 6.1 on my laptop and only touch Jaws for apps that Window Eyes doesn't support. Anyway, when recording my trailers and games I really like using Goldwave 5. It is probably one of the best recording tools out there in my opinion. Soundforge 8 is good as well, but costs an arm and a leg.

Re: [Audyssey] Keys for my laptop
Hi, Exactly. USA Games also doesn't offer hardware based keys because it is both a hastle for everyone, and I personally can relate to the end user experience of having a new key generated every time you buy a new computer, do hardware upgrades, etc. For example, back in February I purchased Windows Vista after it was released. i installed it on my computer, and by May that computers motherboard bit the dust. I called microsoft and explained the problem, and their answer was buy a new product key which was almost the price of the fricken software new. I ended up shopping around, found Vista on sale, for less than the product key replacement, and had to start over from scratch just because my hardware failed, and I couldn't register it on my replacement laptop without a new key.

[Audyssey] bop it download possibly not accessible.
Well I've just found out some depressing news concerning the newly released bop it download. All isn't lost though. I may have an idea. here's info from the wiki article: Bop It Download offers only a single "Solo" mode, plus several multi-player options. However, this differs from the original game in that it is composed of a series of "levels", each one of which plays according to different rules: . Level 1 plays the same as the original Bop It: a voice is used to call out the required command, and only the "Bop It", "Pull It", and "Twist It" controls are used. . Level 2 enables Spin It. . Level 3 enables Flick It. . Level 4 enables Colour Bop It - the central "Bop It" control is coloured yellow on one side of the device and green on the other, and the voice will specify one of these colours, requiring the user to press the button on that particular side. . Levels 5-6 enable Bop Lights - every command given is given by both the spoken command and a light on the corresponding control. However, sometimes the wrong control is lit, in which case the player must do nothing on that beat. . Levels 7-12 repeat the sequence of levels 1-6 except that commands are given by sound effects (as in Beat Bop) rather than spoken voice, with the exception of the "Yellow" and "Green" commands for the central button. . Level 13 enables all the features of level 12 plus commands may be given by spoken voice or sound effect, randomly selected. . Levels 14-15 are identical to level 13, but are endurance levels. Level 14 requires 250 inputs in a single session to complete; level 15 requires 500. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 1268 spam emails to date.

Re: [Audyssey] Loquendo voices was Quick question
Hi Kuvvosh, If I exclude the pre-ordered customers only 25 have purchased Montezuma's Return 1.0 directly from USA Games. Though it is still early and it is hard to say how many new customers I will get in the future. As for Rail Racer I don't know Che's current status, but I do recall him saying on list that only about 150 customers had purchased the game at the time he wrote that on list. He hoped to sell at least 200 units, and at the time he was still short of that mark. It is definitly a bit depressing seeing how much work goes into one of these audio games, and the sales numbers just aren't there for it to be very successful as a secondary income.

Re: [Audyssey] Other ideas for Monopoly
Hello Jim, Quote the amounts are very much hard coded and I would not want to even try to have a conversion for different currency amounts. So I don't know if it would make much sense to have the amounts as they are with a different currency word. End quote In my personal experience the amounts or prices of things in Monopoly never change. The only thing that changes is the type of currency being used. My wife and i have like four Monopoly sets, and all of them use the same prices but the currency is usually called something else. In my Star Wars and Star Trek versions they call the currency credits, and in the standard Monopoly dollars. So I personally see nothing wrong with having a question pop up asking the player if he or she wants to use dollars, pounds, euros, credits, while leaving the price values as they are. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Mud splat problem, Please help!
Hi Katie, The .Net Framework is a nnew technology from Microsoft with allot of shared libraries and runtime modules which allows developers to write a program for several different versions of Windows and devices without allot of changes in the program to support them all. For example, the .Net Framework is being used to write applications shared between cell phones using Windows Mobile and pcs running MS Windows XP or higher. Another place where it is being used is new games using .Net technology can be shared between a pc and the Microsoft XBox 360.

Re: [Audyssey] Loquendo voices was Quick question
It is rather depressing. But you have to figure that there probably aren't nearly as many people out there as we think who acually know that audio games even exist. Up until about three years ago I'd pretty much given up the idea of games for the blind. The ones I remember playin were for the old Apple 2E and GS computers and they required that Echo synthesizer in order to run properly. Anybody remember that thing? I've been looking for sound clips of it but haven't had much luck. True the speech quality is crap, but since it was the first synth I was ever exposed to I've got sort of a soft spot for the thing.

Re: [Audyssey] Keys for my laptop
thanks tom, I know you bought a knew laptop comparatively recently, which is why i thought you'd be able to give me some advice on this one. I've sent e-mails to Lworks and Bsc, and will be contacting gma as soon as I can install one of their games and get the computer's user code. Actually I really fancy playing gma tank commander right now for some reason. appologies for continuing pesterment, but what about other devs? Would Phil mind me having an additional key for Sarah? (I know Gma and Draconis are okay with this, but as the actual developer of the game it's Phil's decision). also, would it be possible to have an additional key for Rail racer? I'm guessing with the specific online identities thing and other security arrangements possibly not. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] recording games being played?
Yeah, that is the truth. I am surprise myself on how much I do use Reel player for now. Reel player does need a lot of resources and is the biggest complaint about it while using Jaws also another resource hog. But now using Vista the response between the 2 is much better. The revamping of Jaws in version 9 may help too. When they worked the problems with Microsoft ward may helped Reel player. Before starting up Reel One Jaws would act like it stopped. But now the buffing now is much better and getting Jaws talking again again when Reel player is loaded is only a few seconds. Charles is a good guy. One thing I don't like Reel player is when recording in the wav format. Just dong a say 7 minutes of recording makes the file really large and takes a good time to download it to a web site. That's way I offered up Cool Player which I have been looking at lately. Just search for Cool Recorder on the web and you will find it. I found Total Recorder and the Total Package OK but getting around the screen by tabbing or using the mouse takes some figuring out. While Cool Recorder is just well simpler to get around and figure out. My best guess that Cool Recorder is not eye candy as other recorders but just simple which is good for our text readers.

Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly suggestions
Yes, the buying and selling spreads could be tricky. A few if statements. But it can be done. One you get the routine mappded out in a flow chart. The routine can be applied to the Monopolies. All monopoly will have a High property and a low property cost value. The for name sakes Middle property which most other Monopolies have. First find how many house on each. Use total to compare to type of Monopoly. Type A being 2 or type B having 3 properties. Attaching Colors to the Monopoly type should do it as a global var. The A set houses is a max of 10 while B is 15. That gives you the subset values. So situation1 If more houses being bought then can fit. When the Max is met quit. Well I could go on but I think you get the idea. I do see the problem is the spread is not say 2 houses on the High 1 on the middle and 2 on the low. The B type Monopoly would be the same code just with out the Middle property. So it be better to write first the three levels first then remove the middle for (A) set. So you need to compare the three values to find which may be the property with the least amount of houses. Is high > Middle then is High > Low then true Else is Middle > low then true Else Low is true. now Just put cycles and squares around the above. Smiles there is your flow chart. Well really I guess the above routine would be used for selling then buying but just replace the (>) for the (<). Then through in the checking the cash for buying and selling. Once the shell is made the names of High can get be New York Avenue what what ever generic variable that is New York And so on with setting up the routine shell variables. When creating shells variables they must return their values back to the main value for New York houses now have three houses where one was added. I guess just use the same code for adding and removing houses with only changes to the routine shell names. Well that's how I pitched the flow chart in my mind on how it would work by adding the quick option to the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Loquendo voices was Quick question
Hi, They probably have a special licensing fee going that allows Code Factory to use Loquendo. After all Mobile Speak is a hot product for us blinks with cell phones, and Loquendo guys know that. The Loquendo developers probably take in a chunk of the earnings for every copy of Mobile Speak purchased for a cell phone. For example, let's say Code Factory sells 1000 units of Mobile Speak for $150 each. let's also say that Loquendo is aloud $50 of every purchase. If you do the math Code Factory gets $10 and Loquendo gets $5 just out of that 1000 customers. That is certainly enough money to get a license for Loquendo to be used in commercial products. The problem with accessible game developers is that we aren't nearly making that kind of cash. Right now USA Games has only sold 25 units of Montezuma's Return , and while the money can buy some stuff it isn't enough cash to even touch the Loquendo licensing fees. As I recall Che mentioned he has sold about 150 units of Rail Racer so even with that whle the cash can buy some stuff it isn't really going to allow you to licens Loquendo.

Re: [Audyssey] Other ideas for Monopoly
Hi Dark, I have to agree that not being able to add custom tocans, money, and cards is my only major complaint with Jim's Monopoly. It doesn't quite have the same feel as playing the real boards if you can't totally recreate the cards, money values, and tocans for each board. I fully realise that when Jim made this game he was probably merely thinking of the classic Monopoly, but over the years Monopoly has grown into special movie and tv themes which all have special rules, tocans, cards, etc that don't fit neatly into Jim's Monopoly engine. For example, if I was pplaying the Lord Of the Rings board I would expect a chanse card to say, "Attacked by orcs. Pay 50 gold coins for every tower, and 150 gold coins for every fortress." The same card on the Star Wars board should read something like, "Attacked by Imperial Storm troopers. Pay 50 credits for every hut, and 150 credits for every base." dark wrote: > Indeed, Jim's monopoly game is great. but I really would like to see custome > tocans and money, as well as just the board squares.

Hello Gary, I really don't think Charles was biting your head off about Real Player. All Charles said is he doesn't use that program, and that was basically it. I personally couldn't find anything inflamitory in his post. As for Real Player I agree with you. I use it for allot of stuff, and it is far better than the Real Player we used 10 years ago.

Re: [Audyssey] Abandoned Games and Tarzan Junior
Hi Danie, Well, first I'd like to point out that none of the Bavisoft games are abandonware. Just because Bavisoft is extremely slow in producing new games, and haven't updated their existing games in a while that doesn't mean the developers have abandoned the games in question. As far as why most developers don't place their games out there as abandonware is simple. The minute a developer puts his or her work out in the public domain as abandonware any new developer could legally take over development of the project. That would restrict the original developers rights to continue or hold the copyright to his or her games. For example, PB Games has abandoned all it's old games. If I wanted to I could legally make an all new Tarzan Junior game, sell it, and legally Philip would have nothing to say about it if he wanted to suddenly change his mind and make a new version himself. Not to mention even if he did come up with a new version since there is a free version available to the public there is a good chanse many customers would simply not choose to upgrade since they have a free version. Now, as for abandoned games in general sometime in the next month or so I plan to put up a free games section on my web sight which has games like Dark Destroyer, Self Destruct, and other abandoned games. school wrote: > Hi All: > Why don't game devs put their games as abandoned for those of us who want to > play them?

Re: [Audyssey] recording games being played?
Well the straight recording is fine that way. Its when mixing. Say you want only 11 seconds to insert into a mix. Using a head set you can cut out Jaws from speaking while recording. Now it may take several attempts to get what you want. So starting over couple times and doing the Undo, the fluid Gold wave tends to move the clock along with the record and stop button. That is what I meant by that.So at times I would have to go find how much time go by. Where did it go? Some times Jaws just can not find it and no way to stop the recording. Smiles but by using the F keys. Its silly, but when you have more then say three audio cilaps opened that darn record button and clock starts to move around. I normally hover right over the Stop button to get as close to 11 seconds as possible. By just doing the Jaws say word over and over. Normally this is when just add my voice. Other recordings I may not want want to hear jaws but do want to record music.. Setting the echo to none makes you wonder did I hit the right key F nine. while having typing turned off as well. One does need to have at least the character mode on to know which F key I hit. Which means editing what I just recorded. So it really was not complain about Cold Wave which I use, but just using a program on the same computer that your recording. Using 2 computers like Kitchen agreed makes the overall work easier when editing and monitoring the recorder elapsed times. Not mad at Chuck, or anything, seeing my Bears lose on Monday night I felt a need to pull his chin. Using my spell checker more now so he can't get me back. Crash - Original Message - From: "Raul a.

Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly suggestions
No problem. Well I have not recorded while playing Monopoly but do plan on my other projects. If you wish to have me record a segment of game play during one of these sessions I be happy to do so. This way you can get a feel what is happening and may come up with some of your own ideas. I have played the game with family members in an older version and in voice chat room. I am consider running tourneys and having the results posted on a web page. Besides the for the people web site I do have my own voice chat rooms that could be used as well for game play. So a membership to FTP for a tourney will not be need or there could be two tourneys. If interesting in having such a tourney page on your web site let me know to. Besides the tourney and a recorded sample of how one could play the game in a voice chat room as a demo on your site I see what I can do. We did have the ideas of players to race around the board before able to buy property. I thought about it a little more and really that can be handled by the game master. When players on their first lap on the board the Game master then just says no when buying properties and no one else able to buy it either. With the combination of who goes first with the die and the one lap around the board will produce a random number of starting. During the one lap around the board when landing on slot to pick cards and Free Parking is used and the amount of cash a player has when the lap is completed, gives the start of the game another nice twist. So really no programming there for a lap around the board is needed. Smiles I do as a programmer can see the problems of add certain features to games. So I just added what I thought could be the final touches to the game. 1 the idea or rule. 2. How it will look in the game or how the rule will work in the game. 3. Why the rule was made and how it needed to be part of the accessible game. 4. How it can be programmed by setting them up as options or menu items. be Since the game core runs smoothly putting on the trimmings was the way I had to think things out before I was able to reply before. Well so long for now my Draft baseball league starts on Friday may not have much time to talk to you all. - Original Message - From: "Jim Kitchen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gary Whittington" Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 4:14 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly suggestions > Hi Crash, > > I have saved your suggestions and will see what I can do.

Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly suggestions
Acording to the official rules of Monopoly, there are 12 hotels and 32 houses. Once they are bought, no more can be bought. When a player goes bankrupt, any houses or hotels he or she owned are turned back in to the bank and the player receives half their selling price, which is then turned over to who he or she owes. Those houses and hotels are then available to remaining players for purchase at full price. I used to play in Monopoly tournaments in which only official rules were used. --- Shepherds are the best beasts. - Original Message - From: "Jim Kitchen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gary Whittington" Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 3:14 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly suggestions > Hi Crash, > > I have saved your suggestions and will see what I can do.

Re: [Audyssey] Other ideas for Monopoly
Hi Jim. well I was only talking about the name of the currency, not the amounts, sinse as you say converting for each board would just be crazy! Besides, for some utterly weerd reason, the prices in English Monopoly are exactly the same, accept using pounds and not dollars, (something else I noticed when playing your game), Eg 500 pounds for mayfaire, the most expensive street (which I believe is park avinue on the traditional Us board). I personally am very much in favor of editable text files, I've certainly used them a lot in the baseball game. and if people are so dim as to not save a copy of the default text file somewhere else before they start editing, - well I think it's fairly obvious who's fault it is. About Rules, if I remember rightly, the no buying first time around is actually in the instructions for the braille monopoly set I've got, so I'm not sure about that one. I've seen the money on free parking rule before, --- even down to insane variations where any supertax or fignes are placed on the board, and whoever lands on freeparking picks them up (which can be mad). another rule we've always plaid, is that if a property is morgaged, wrent is paid to the bank should anyone land on it, though if any player lands on the morgaged property and wishes to buy it, they can just as if nobody owned it. In fact some rules you have in the game slightly surprised me, such as forcing a player to buy a property when he/she lands on it, and holding an auction if they don't. Occasionally we'd have auctions or deals if someone landed on one property that someone else was collecting the set for, but this certainly wasn't inforced, and if nobody wanted to buy the property it'd just be passed over. But as you say, Monopoly does seem to vary according to how the players want to play it. I deffinately enjoyed the wiki artical on Monopoly, which brought up several interesting things about the rules, in fact Jim, your games are actually making me go and learn stuff, sinse I'm getting interested in the origens of them ;D.

[Audyssey] Final Feedback on rules of Monopoly
Trying to keep my email short. Add any feedback you want to this email or your own feedback on the matter. I don't expect to see all my ideas and feedback I got from others to be add right away to the Jim's Monopoly. I did promise Jim my ideas and feedback. There was a few as we see. The game is near perfection. Thanks to Jim of building on to the game. For being a green game at this stage now is a steal or a bargain. I certainly say its the best Kitchen game. AS we know Jim, he creates the games to be free. Right now I am going to suggest my last feedback I got during my time being a game master on FTP in a full duplex voice chat room where a group of us meet on Saturday at 3pm ET. The rule of going out of the game. When a player has to pay more then their total assists there lost. In the rules, when a player loses and has houses the houses are removed of the board and put back in the bank. This rule was to be sure that enough houses was in the bank that could be sold. Smiles many times those darn little green houses would get lost and items around the table would be used when playing with the board game. A computer version may not need to worry, (Like a computer Worries), about it. So, there should be a set of houses and a set number of Hotels in the game. When one or the other is gone out of the bank this falls under the House shortage rule. That is my option of the start of the game option as mentioned in previous emails. Like the option to take a chance card this option would need only a yes or no answer. The game would ask if you want House Shortages.. If Yes, would use the set number of houses and hotels. If No unlimited houses and hotels. The rule about House Shortages does take its name from the period of time Monopoly was created and refined. After World War 2 there was the term House Shortages was coined for the men returning from the war. Even though the rule only comes up during games when there are many players still in the game and have built on the monopolies. This gives a strategy to this part of the game. When houses or hotels come available its best to buy them up before some one else does. Leaving you the better chance of making money then others. The Rule to be add was by a friend of my and my explanation why a rule would make the game when playing as a group to be exactly like the real Monopoly. Jim Kitchen put a lot of work in the game and its truly wonders and only see a few things that I suggested today will mostly be the final touches on the game. It started out as a simple way to pass time playing a simple game of Monopoly. AS Jim's Golf game it as taken a new dimension as a game that many can play competitive. Those who want to play it competitive will want the full rules and options the game can provide. As it stands now Jim has a marketable game. This game is free and I know why and I leave it as it. Only thing I can say thanks Jim for providing your free games. As in Monopoly you give us at FTP many hours of fun. Jim you could say has a Monopoly on accessible Monopoly and if Jim wishes to build again on the game with my ideas and feedbacks the more gamers going to want to play the game. Again thanks Jim very noble in all your efforts.

Re: [Audyssey] Other ideas for Monopoly
Hi Dark, The word dollar is hard coded into the game. I possibly could make an editable text file that would pick up whatever word that you wanted for the currency, but all of the amounts are very much hard coded and I would not want to even try to have a conversion for different currency amounts. So I don't know if it would make much sense to have the amounts as they are with a different currency word. I researched and added all of the tokens that ever shipped with the game. Don't know about having custom tokens. Maybe I could also put them in an editable text file. But you would not believe how much more work editable text files make for me. You know like when people do not edit them correctly and the game crashes and it is all my fault or at least up to me to fix the problem. I don't believe that I have ever heard of the no buying on the first trip around the board. But some of the ways that we played the game as a family were never real rules and I have heard of several options that people like that were never in the rules. You know such as money on free parking, not collecting rent while in jail etc. BFN Jim I wouldn't even be here if the flux capacitor hadn't broken.

Re: [Audyssey] Monopoly suggestions
Hi Crash, I have saved your suggestions and will see what I can do. As you said the dice roll to see who goes first should be pretty easy. The house buying and selling a bit more. I do thank you for all of the thought and suggestions as to how it could be done. I will see if I can do that. Just have to be careful to make sure about building and removing legally. BTW I am glad that you were able to play and record while on FTP with no trouble. I also often use 2 computers for recording like that. Used to be able to run my TV in as a line in, but that was a different TV and this one doesn't work out for that. Do miss recording off of the TV. Thanks again and BFN Jim I live in a house, but belong in a HOME.
