Rules and Ethics
- Trading Rules
- Never do an unbalanced trade. Do not trade 2:1 or a four star for a five star.
- Never trade your gold card for someone else's non gold card. Gold cards are like oxygen. You would not ask a suffocating man what he could give you in return for you giving him air. Instead, acquire as many as gold cards as you can during a blitz and find them a worthy home.
- Make sure those with whom you trade are happy with the trade, both now and in the future. Do not make self-serving deals that exploit the kindness, naivety, or desperation of others.
- Insure all trades. If an anomaly happens where they are not get their card, without question, make sure they get what they expected. Do this for any trade you make and for any trade you broker. Relationships are more important than trades. Happy people are more important than a Monopoly Sticker.
- Dice Acquisition
- Never spend a penny on a game. Never give money to Scopely.
- Never use any exploits or cheats, such as APM or dice boosting.
- Partner Event Rules
- Full Carry Rules
- If I trade for a full carry, I must then gift a full carry. Never receive more full carries than I gift.
- If an account plays the event, it must do its part, which currently is 160 points (4 x 40 or 2 x 80).
- Never attempt to do less than 50% in a partnership.
- Race Events
- NEVER partner in a race with someone who cheats, such as APM or Dice Boosting. If you do, you are partnering with them in cheating other players.
- Never get a Race Full Carry, which is then trading for a means cheating other competitors. This should be a bannable offense.
- Never favor one of your accounts over another. Do not have accounts fund mains with stars, for example. This messes up metrics and also does not maximize dice.
- Assist other players as part of the process. Make that half of your game. Give them cards. Allow them to shut you down. Be altruistic and pan-determined.
- Pay it forward. If someone bestows a gift of any kind on you, make sure you give an equivalent gift to someone else.
- Album Rules
- If you do work the album, you must stop about five days in and try to get others albums closed. The only exception is if your album is about to close, in which case you can include yourself.
Please note that I follow this code and I still accumulate dice every season (more slowly than many players, but very consistently). You do not have to be ruthlessly capitalistic to win at Monopoly Go!
- I do not cheat
- I do not do imbalanced trades.
- I do not take a full carry unless I gift one in return .
- I allow myself to be used as a shutdown resource, which consumes the bulk or my monopoy cash.
- I do not purchase.
