The Daily POS: Mailbag

-Advertisement-

Mailbag

Welcome to Mailbag, where every week-like period of time (may also be month-like or worse) you get to write a letter on a given topic and send it to Soap or whoever is running Mailbag at the time, and wait eagerly until he finally decides to update with responses to your letters.

Good submissions will be rewarded with oats and maybe a badge on the forum, so do use your actual forum name in the name field in the form if you want to actually get credit. Otherwise we'll just assume it's Spat.

This week's topic is: What do you think of the recent VGTrivia revival? This mailbag will be updated Whenever I feel like I wanna update. Gosh! Get writing!

Topic: What would POS-themed Monopoly be like?

Just be glad it's not Duke Nukem Foreveropoly

POSopoly would require you to start an imagefest while you play. This is symbolic since no one ever finishes their imagefests, nor do they ever finish a game of Monopoly.

But, really, I've never played Monopoly for real, so I don't know much aside from 'move pieces and own places'. I'm still pretty confused in Nomopoly, too!
-SK

PROTIP: Games really go MUCH faster if you don't implement communist house rules. Like getting money for landing on Free Parking. The actual game nobody finishes is Risk. Also Advance Wars By Web. Somebody should imagefest one of those games.

So why haven't you played Monopoly, SK? It's the great American board game, after all. You aren't some kind of

, eh?
-Draino

This would be awesome

POSopoly, huh? I'm not sure if it's okay to get too drastic from standards, but:

-There are player pieces such as birthday bears, mini-burgers, banana hoards and rubber kermits that flail as you move them.
-Surely the territories are named after various boards and content, probably including personal forums. Jail is Coral Mayhem to make it all the more terrible to get stuck in.
-The monetary system is counted in oats, of course.
-The community chest and chance decks are full of things like "You got second prize in a recent art competition. 15 oats." "You just read a Spatulator fakepost. Facepalm and lose a turn." and "You have to poop. Go directly to Coral Mayhem. Do not pass Home. Do not collect 200 oats."
-Every time you open the box, you get rickrolled.

Come to think of it, it might be possible to find someone that's not too lazy to program an online version as site content, perhaps flash based. Just imagine the fun of landing on chance and getting Chaos Controlled automatically. Considering the length of the game, I suppose you may have to have people log in to play, and put a time limit on turns (a "hurry up" button, even). Good stuff.
-JaggerG

Why does everybody seem to think Monopoly takes a long time? It takes about as long as a mailbag update OH WAIT.

Anyways JaggerG this is a really good idea! Get somebody on it, I guess. If that's too much trouble, just make a youtube video where it at first seems like you're getting Rickrolled, but then it turns out you're getting Chaos Cont-rolled. Entertainment at its finest!
-Draino

no need to be obstinate

POSopoly doesn't have quite the right ring to it. Logically, the POS should start on a P, but MonoPOSy sounds almost like a fake James Bond love interest.

As for the question itself, it sounds kinda gay LOL PHAGZ I JUST CALLED POS GAY XDDDDDDDDDDD
-scatman220

MonoPOSy in: Please, James Bond, I have to poop!

Regarding the second part of your letter: POS is pretty gay, yeah. So what else is new? fukken hippie

-Draino

Ben stole my cookies so until I get more, have a mailbag response, you assholes....

Come on, Spat. You were bugging me to update for THIS? This sad piece of shit of a letter? Do better next time plz.
-Draino

Spat, take a page from this guy

Hi guys I really like you're site, I think it is pretty funny. I think that a monopoly game based on the pos.com is a pretty funny idea and it has all kinds of things that might make me laugh maybe even an imagefest on each space lol. I'm just typing this to tell you good job guys keep up the funny stuff! I really like the pokemon on the side bar thing. Good luck on this, I hope the monopoly board comes out good. Sincerely, scott

Hi Scott your a fun guy hey wanna get in my car

Its good somebody else remembers the pos.com peoples. You guys need to make more thedailypos.com fakeposts, though. They're funnier than Spat fakeposts. Anyways I didnt know we had pokemon in our sidebars. Maybe I should take a closer look! Thank you for your letter, Mr Scott.
-Draino

Krem Love <3

I hate Monopoly almost as much as I hate you.

Krem's cool, though.
-DeViLsAdVoCaTe91

-Draino

-Nancy

mmm oh yes talk dirty to me baby and then we can go and make sweet monkey love Still relevant to this day

-Draino

back in the ussr

it would be two squares: "Listen to POS material" and "procrastinate" and you'd have to cheat in some way to get oats from secret russian sources

also this question sucks
-YourAverageJoe

In soviet russia oats secret russian sources YOU

also this letter writer sucks
-Draino

not a tautology

No really guys its me really!

Love,
YourAverageJoe
-Spat

uh

what

-Draino

Final thoughts: I could have been using this time to play TF2, you schmucks.
At least Jagger had some good ideas. Somebody give him some oats. The rest of you
