Proposal: Jackpot

7-2. Reached Quorum.—Chronos

Adminned at 12 Aug 2005 13:46:17 UTC

Add a rule Jackpot Pool:
There is a Jackpot Pool, listed in the [[World]] as an amount of B$ besides the Square named Jackpot. Whenever a player spends an amount of B$, that amount must be added to the Jackpot Pool.

Whenever a player ends a move in the Jackpot Square, the amount on the Jackpot Pool shall be transfered to that player and the Pool reset to B$ 0.

Name Square 13 Jackpot. Set the Jackpot Pool to B$ 100.

Let it be known, though, that the Free Parking Jackpot ““rule”” in Monopoly is evil, stupid, and awful, and I hate it, and it shouldn’t be allowed in any game no matter how informal.

Don’t ask my why it’s such a peeve, I really couldn’t tell you.

It’s a pain because it floods the market with money, diluting the value of cash and making it much harder for a player to go bankrupt, protracting the game long past when the fun wears out.

Oh, and against
