LOL-ing All The Way To The Bank
I was bored at work as usual, so I started checking out the board games on Amazon (don't ask). I came across a game called "Make Your Own Opoly". Basically it's a blank Monopoly board and cards and it comes with software for you print your own properties and currency and stuff. And that's when it hit me:
"Internet LOL-Opoly"!!
You can replace all the properties with websites from 4chan and B3ta to Facebook and Youtube. Every time someone lands on one you own, they have to pay you an advertising fee. The more "servers" you build on your "site", the more you can charge for advertising. Replace the train stations with Internet service providers and you're pretty much there.
I've been thinking of some ideas for the Chance/Community Chest cards and this is what I've got so far:
"Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicks you in the face. Pay £200 to have your head reattached"
"Convince Mr T to get on a plane. The rest of the A-Team pay you £100 for your services"
"MySpace Tom herd u liek Mudkipz. Receive £50"
"You've won 2nd place in a lolcat competition. Receive £20"
"The Heavy found out you ate his sandvich. Pay £75 to prevent him from punching out all of your blood"
"Wolf O'Donnel is afraid he can't let you do that. Go back to HomestarRunner.com"
"You are attacked by Giant Enemy Crabs, but you hit the weak spot for Massive Damage. Receive £100 for your efforts"
"The cake is a lie. Go back to Livejournal.com"
"For refusing to show him your moves, Captain Falcon hits you with a Falcon Punch. Pay £200 to have your spleen reattached"
"Your head asplode. Go directly to goatse.cx. Do not pass Paypal. Do not collect £200"
"You successfully leave Britney alone. Advance to Wikipedia"
Needs a little work, but I think this has got legs.
