Free games ain't going to have computer being smart as Oppenheimer. Now, I again, will throw down the Gonelet and to find out how many want to put their purple money where there mouth is.
I would be happy to help start a Monopoly Tournament for the blind. As many know that I run many pools and so I do have the software toput up a web page showing either brackets or most likey a standings format will be used. How long the tournament would last would depend on the number of members in the tournament. Like they do on For-the-Pople.com have Golf tourneys on a regular bases with Jim's game why not Monopoly. The last time I had offer this idea, was a system where there would been a small Fee to play in the tournament of five bucks that way the winner of the tournament could be awarded something afterward. Since the tournament could been as long as the football season, I thought it would only been right. Now taking the bull by the horn again, since now there has been talk about how good one is beating up a simple bot in a game, lets get down to business.. For those who wants braging rights. Where is what I will do. Instead of having an open tournament that could last for months, but a close tournament. Members will have to belong to FTP and only four players may be pick from this list. I will then will may it know to the Talk list on the FTP email group where aother four players will be choosen by me. The 8 members and myself will have a meeting on FTP to hammer out detail on the rules. During this metting those who wish to join the tournament will be able to sign up. With nobodie needing to pay any sort of fee to play, but a reasonable number of players But first is first, and I need feedback on having a tournament. And Again I will start with this email list to test the waters. If I get a good enough response on who would want to participate then I will move to the next steps in the process in forming a league of members. Lets create a new thread and have it called: "Lets do it" In the thread just put in the phrase "Consider me as a member" If the thread starts I would like to see it go for a week. I then will ask it to be closed out after that amount of time. Then I will let the list know of my decision if there is enough interest where I would consider giving up some of my time and resources to produce a MOnopoly tournamet Gary aka Crash ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Kitchen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Thomas Ward" <Gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 4:17 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Jim's Monopoly. > Hi Thomas, > > Thank you for your suggestions, but as I said and you suggested, I think > that you would be better off writing your own Monopoly game since you have > a better head for business and writing artificial intelligence. > > BFN > > ----- Original Message ----- > Hi Jim, > Your Monopoly game has promise, but I think a few small corrections in > the way the computer does business would go a long way to improving the > game play. > For example, when I play and I start getting low on cash I stop buying > property and houses until I build up a bit of a reserve.
