I might though. How often do you put them up? I was going to but they go for more than I can justify (at the moment) spending. I might though.

Anyone need some (seriously, I'd rather give it out than lose it to chance cards)? Oh, and I also have more than I know what to do with.

Just in the last 40 minutes or so I've been attacked 6 times. Being good at this game sucks, lol.

I wanted to lower the price a bit and take one of his streets but the game won't let me add one, so I'll hold off for a few hours and see if it works and then just take the $3bn if it doesn't. I held out, he kept offering me $1.5, $1.75, $2, $2.5, $2.75 and I negotiated every time for $3, so I guess standing your ground does work.

Let's assume you get a daily rent of $1b. The worst chance card you can get will take away $250m. If he hides $800m, he cannot get hit by a $250m chance card. Ideally he would get back $200m of those $800m when he is done spending the first $200m, and so on.

I did say that that was my initial strategy, but we're way beyond "initial" now. When I have $400m to spend and I'm being hit with $300m+ chance cards, I'd rather take the chance of spending that $400m to get a guaranteed extra $20m in rent and another chuck '0' change added to my score, than have at least $12m added to my score and the bank take the rest. Besides, my current strategy is to upgrade all of my streets to Sky High Towers and fill in the gaps with Spear End Summits, I was simply saying that that's what I could do.
