• Proposal #32
  • Proposed by Kwyjibo
  • Accepted by a vote of 6-1. Modified section 4 of rule XIV.
  • Amend rule XIV-4 to read as follows:

When a player lands on a square that is owned by an opponent and contains a card, the player who landed there must pay rent to the owner, defined as $(square number * card value), where card value is 11 for an ace, 10 for a face card, and the number of the card for any other card.
  • Comments: Did anyone find the difference between this rule and the old rule XIV-4?

• Proposal #33
  • Proposed by ChocolateChip
  • Rejected by a vote of 5-2.
  • New Building!

Wormhole: Costs $75 and can be built on a residential or industrial square as per the current building rules. Any player that lands on a square containing a Wormhole is immediately warped into "Parallel Universe".


Parallel Universe is a separate board initially containing 7 squares numbered from -7 to -1 inclusive. (All Parallel Universe squares will have negative numbers, so no ambiguity with the Nomopoly board). The squares on the Parallel Universe board are not governed by the rules of Nomopoly squares, so they may not be purchased/owned/hit with missiles/etc (at least initially). All of the other rules of Nomopoly still apply, however.

The initial rules of Parallel Universe are as follows:

1) When a player warps into Parallel Universe, he will be placed on the lowest numbered square in Parallel Universe.
2) When a player takes a turn in Parallel Universe, he will roll one 6-sided die and advance that many squares on the Parallel Universe board.
3) When a player passes or leaves Square -1 of Parallel Universe, there is a 50% chance that the player will continue his move on to the lowest numbered square of the Parallel Universe board (as usual), and a 50% chance that the player will be warped out of Parallel Universe.
4) When a player warps out of Parallel Universe, he will have the option to make one rule proposal for Parallel Universe. The rule proposal will be posted during the next update, and the voting will take place during that update. The following people each receive one vote on the proposal:
- The Admin
- All players who have been in Parallel Universe during either the current update or the previous one.
The voting will take place during the next update after the proposal is posted. If the proposal receives more Yes than No votes, it is added to the rules of Parallel Universe.


When a player warps out of Parallel Universe, he will be placed on the square which he occupied before getting warped into Parallel Universe (but is not considered to have landed there). If for some reason that square does not exist at that time, the player will be placed on Square #1.

For the sake of continuing rule XIX-3, if a Skunk lands on a square containing a Wormhole, a randomly selected player gets immediately warped into Parallel Universe.


Extra notes:
- A Parallel Universe proposal should apply only to Parallel Universe, and must not change the rules of Nomopoly or affect players who are not in Parallel Universe (it will be up to the admin to judge a Parallel Universe proposal and veto any proposals that in his opinion are in violation).
- A Parallel Universe proposal is not considered to be a "regular proposal" by the current rules, and therefore is not subject to the effects of rule VIII (so you don't lose $100 for not voting and a Parallel Universe proposal doesn't count against the one proposal you get per week). The Admin still has the right to reject proposals that he believes are unfair or destructive to gameplay, however.
  • Comments: You played Nomopoly I, and we tried the Parallel Universe. I thought we all learned an important lesson about that!

• Proposal #34
  • Proposed by ChinDoGu
  • Accepted by a vote of 5-2. Added section 6 to rule XXII.
  • Players may build Houses and springboards on Residential squares
  • Comments: Have fun building houses on your residential block, ChinDoGu.

• Proposal #35
  • Proposed by THE CHEESE
  • Accepted by a vote of 5-2. Modified section 2 of rule XIV.
  • to encourage the trading of cards among players, I propose that the cards each player holds are posted on the players page for all players to see (just like any other items).
  • Comments: Now that all cards are posted on the Players page, I won't be including the act of receiving cards in individual emails. Less work for me, which is getting more important as the game goes on :-)

• Proposal #36
  • Proposed by Silver Car
  • Accepted by a vote of 4-3. Added section 16 to rule VI.
  • Every time a player goes past the end of the board and back around to Square #1, a new square gets added on to the end of the board.
  • Comments: Excellent. We'll be needing more squares after the little missile mishap this week...
