1. I was a DJ for three and a half years, and I was on cable for one year. Also, I had a follower named Creature... Thank God I never met him.
2. I found a salamander in my garage two days ago, and have decided to keep him. His name is Mikey. I think my fish "TIBBS" is a little jealous. Mikey took his bowl. :( Also, if any knows what to feed a salamander, please call me.... I think he might be hungry.
3. I love to watch A&E movies.... you know Pride and Prejudice kind.
4. I have over 50 monopoly games and am still collecting. If you feel so inclined to buy me any... I need Indiana Jones, Narnia, the new world edition, MEGA monopoly... the list goes on forever.
5. I love the smell of Apples. I can't get the smell enough. Instead of a bouquet of flowers, I would want a basket full of Beautiful Apples, that smell sssssssssssssooooooooooooo delicious.
6. I am going to Nova Scotia next summer for 12 days. This is the largest road trip I will have ever taken. I am also going to brush up on my french. After 10 years of French, all I can say is hello, how are you? Pretty sad!
7. I am a secret pyromaniac. I am fascinated with fire. I love to play with fire (only with candles, I know better to do anything else). So, I am also running out of candles to play with, so if you want to get rid of any just let me know. :)
Well, I fill my part of the bargain. Unfortunately, everyone I know is tagged. Oh well....

Excellent randoms. I should really get your autograph now that I know you've been on TV...
Genopoly
Title suggested by Anna Pederson of Houston Texas
House rules for a family friendly Opoly type game
Genoply is played on a regular Monopoly board with some additional materials and some change in rules. If a family enjoys a game of Monopoly they won't go back after playing a game of Genopoly. The game can be played to 30, 60 or 100 fold dynasty members.
Additional game materials
1. Family sheets. These can be as simple as the Exibition #1 example provided or could be larger to included names of children, occupations, house plans etc. It's best to have four different colors of paper; one color for each of four cyclic generations.
2. Lists of names. You will need a source of male, female and surnames that can be picked at random. Don't use your own name or of those you know. You will be playing the part of an extended family dynasty.
3. Additional Monopoly money. This is available at a game store by the pack or from your old Monopoly set. This would only be needed if more than six people are playing.
Some changes in rules of play
1. You do not have to have a monopoly of one color to build shelters. Shelters can be build right away and rents are the same.
2. There is no more Jail. The Jail is now on Orphanage. Each time you visit the Orphanage or land in the Orphanage or draw a get out of Orphanage free card, you may adopt a boy or a girl.
3. If you draw the twins card you may add twins to your family sheet. Gender is your choise.
4. If you should pass Go for what ever reason without children on you family sheet you must retire your playing piece and turn in all property and money to the bank. Your playing piece may be put into play later.
Procedure of Play of Genopoly
1. In addition to the regular start of the game, give each founding dynasty, a family sheet. The King of England granted Puritan Townships to a group of ten to twelve founding families. With the right supplies that would be the upper limits of number of
players.
2. On the first roll of the dice from Go, select the names of the Husband and Wife and enter them on the family sheet.
3. On any roll from the second side of the board enter the number of children as shown on the dice. The number of each gender is your choice. A roll of a 3 and 4 could be 3 boys and 4 girls or 4 girls and 3 boys.
4. As a playing piece passes Go, it is ready for a new generation and waits until the other playing pieces past Go to set up for the next generation of play. The Estate of the waiting playing piece can still collect rents but can not help another player with a cash rescue.
5. Shelter for each generation progresses from Tent to Palace. See Exibit #2. At the reset of the generation all green sheltors are removed and all red sheltors are replace with a green sheltor.
6. Seating for each preceding generation of play is in the order of who went past Go first, second etc. The first one out will have more decendants remain in the Township than the second etc. See Exibit #3 for seating assignment. The first will be last in the preceding generation of play and the fourth or last will be the first one to play in the next generation of play.
7. Money is laid out for the next generation of play. Each preceding generation gets $200 less per generation. Money and properties are divided between the decendants of the next generation. Marriages are made for all the players that are seated. If marriages can not be made with the first dynasties that went past Go, then that players money and properties are returned to the Bank and the playing piece must come back as a stranger without inheritance.
8. If at anytime a player can not pay his rent at the cost of bankrupcy, he can appeal first to a family member and second to someone in his own generation (color of family sheet) for a nonrefundable rescue bailout.
9. I'm sure there will be questions so call or email me, Carl Wade at (425) 883-2482 and Carlwawa3@aol.com.
