I'd love to maintain a moderated list - but I've only got time for a post here every other day or so, it just wouldn't be very well run by me personally. comments would get a bit too ugly. hopefully someone comes up with an effective tool. I just noticed the mcs clans folks have a decent listing with user names next to them, that might be the best way in the meantime. I absolutely love your contest idea. I feel real bad for folks who can't get out of the bottom at this point...

Or you could do it completely closed by yourself and have people submit them to you and then just display them on a webpage like the site above. I think a comments thread would get ugly and confusing and difficult to navigate through. You could also implement a contest or something similar where one of us would offer to give away a street for free or 1/2 price to someone who only has a few streets or makes under a certain amount of money (that way you'd be limiting the chances of giving them away to cheaters or people with multiple accounts. I'd gladly give some streets away for free.

I had not received any offers to purchase, and I check the game daily. So I know it wasn't an expired offer.

They realized that they did not fully think out the exponential wealth increases each pay day, and the chance cards are a quick and dirty way to control that without retooling the rent calculations.
