I just checked [www.zone.com](http://www.zone.com) but they don’t seem to have Monopoly. I used to play chess there. Hmmm. It seems I have no choice but to start a land war in Asia. I remember hearing that’s a bad Idea. Oh yeah. It was that Sicilian I killed in a duel over who was, or wasn’t an idiot. ---

me first? huh huh could I? I am in a very weak position in this game. Fortunately, in another game, I seem to be holding on to Asia very tightly. Too bad I can’t translate it here. I tried some of the other boards, too. Canada plays well. World 2.1 takes too long. Doodle Earth is very silly. I also have a Space and a CCU (Conquor Club Univ.) game going on. But I learned my lesson this weekend. No more than one long game at a time. I di play a lot of Speed games, but that requires everyoe be present and accounted for since it is a five minute per turn game. ---

i love long games! my longest so far is about one and a half months! it could have gone even longer had one of my opponents not cracked and broke equilibrium. ---
