[size=150:ap9bobix]FINAL RESULTS FOR THE GAME PIECES

26 votes Robot Head

25 votes Toy Piano

21 votes Hair Helmet

21 votes Omnichord

20 votes Business Socks

20 votes Camera-Phone

17 Votes New Cup

17 votes Murray's Notepad

16 votes Jemaine's Glasses

16 votes Disco Ball

12 votes Bandanna

Mel's Screwdriver





Don't throw things at me!!!! I made an executive decision. There were three things that we tied at 17 votes and I felt that Bret was well represented with the hair helmet so I took the eye patch piece out and replaced it with Mel's Screwdriver. I really felt that all of the main characters should be represented in these pieces...and I think you guys did a good job picking them out

Do you guys agree with my decision?

Jemaine has more pieces than Bret now.


Jemaine = Omnichord, Business Socks, Glasses

Bret = Hair Helmet, New Cup

Both = Robot Head, Toy Piano (used by both on the show ... jemaine in season 1, bret in season 2), Camera-Phone (jemaine's phone, made by bret), Disco Ball

Arj = Bandana

Murray = Notepad

Mel = Screwdriver



I think Bret's eyepatch should be put back and one of the neutral pieces should go.

i agree, nik!

[size=200:rc6n6n2e]as long as we keep the piano!!!!

I downloaded a pdf of the monopoly instructions ... I'm trying to work out theme transitions.


Right now, the mortgage aspect is giving me trouble. Will post some thoughts after further consideration.

Could we do this?

house: hotel is guys' apartment building:murray's sky scraper office building?

::::: ::::
::::: :::: <
---- lame visual example

That way, mortage and such can kinda be worked with industry credit points from the secret industry code?

or with the tour motif-
honda: actual tour bus?

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

I'll get my pencils out and see what I can do for illustrations...

We were having a hell of a time wrangling the real estate theme transition last night, and we came up with an excellent idea.


[align=center:fr9dmnft] Special thanks to Luisa! [/align:fr9dmnft]



- Properties that are bought and sold = concerts / cities

- Houses and hotels = songs / albums

- Rent = royalties

- Mortgaging = selling rights



[size=133:fr9dmnft]The object of Monopoly:

[size=133:fr9dmnft]The object of the game is to become the wealthiest player through buying, renting, and selling property.

[size=133:fr9dmnft]The object of Conchordopoly:

[size=150:fr9dmnft]The object of the game is to become the wealthiest player through touring, collecting royalties, and buying and selling song rights.

I'm currently adapting the official monopoly instructions to our game. If anyone has changes to suggest, please let me know. These instructions will be the guiding center of the entire game, so it's important that they hold up.


[align=center:fr9dmnft] [/align:fr9dmnft]

In the final version of instructions, there will be special thanks to everyone who helped with the game. It's a group effort, and it couldn't be accomplished without so many talented people contributing their efforts. I hope everyone feels appreciated.

I like it.

The guys did enough tour dates this year to fill the board, yes???

Or would we go down the HBO show route and use low key venues??:

The lift at the NZ Consulate
A Central Park, Newark
La Guardia Airport
Karaoke bar
Migrant Expo
Raft gig
Camper van gig
Simon and Garfunkel look-alike gig

etc, etc

The pieces for songs / albums could have the potential to be very pretty and creative.

--- everyone involved in this.

Addition: How about substituting Disco Ball for Mel's screwdriver and adding the eye patch back in? If a neutral piece is used, that's my preference for the one that goes. Would be nice to keep Bret / Jemaine focused pieces fairly equal. I do like the idea of Mel being represented.

ok...I viewed the toy piano as Bret's. " title="" border="0"/> I mean, it sits on his side for the concerts and Sheila and Misty gave him a new one

I dunno...I wouldn't mind seeing the Disco Ball going....but I have a feeling that the eye patch is going to be hard to make out of polymer clay. and that is kinda why I made the decision. " title="" border="0"/>

add: the eye patch may be a little too delicate and might break the way I am thinking it should be made. " title="" border="0"/>

The game is based on the fictional world of the show ... on the show, the piano is played by both characters.


I assumed that all of the pieces offered in the poll were pieces that were feasible for inclusion. ???


I think it's at least worth giving it a shot and seeing how it holds up. I can even make it myself. If it doesn't work, we'll just leave it out.

i like this, sarah! i could deal with seeing the disco ball go...

i have faith that nik can make the eye patch work

The disco ball could always return in another form ... it could be included in one of the card sketches.

you lovely ladies are all doing such a great job with this!
Nik, i really love where you are going with the instructions. its sounding so great!

sarah. i really like the money you made.

i agree with disco ball going out and eye-patch back in me.


i have nothing to contribute right now. just agreeing and appreciating everything you all are doing!

i all for working so hard. " title="" border="0"/>
