I always like Junta, but that could cause conflict as well. I guess that's to be expected in a game in which backstabbing and double-dealing is really the whole point.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Not sure how I feel about this:
SAVAGE TO SANTORUM: KEEP ATTACKING GAYS AND I’LL REDEFINE ‘RICK,’ TOO
Sex columnist Dan Savage has offered a new threat to Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum: If Santorum continues to attack gays and lesbians during his campaign, Savage will expand his “google problem” by redefining “Rick.” Savage led a campaign to redefine “Santorum” in 2003 after Santorum compared homosexuality to bestiality and pedophilia. Other people named Rick chimed in to urge Santorum to heed Savage’s threat. Watch it (Audio may be NSFW):

Uh oh. So glad my first name isn't shared by someone running for President.

Yeah. Santorum is a pretty obscure name, but Rick is not.
Also, I wonder if this would just be counterproductive.

This. The earlier stuff was brilliant, but continuing to push on it starts to feel like playground behavior.

People play Monopoly without auctions? This is weirder to me than the debate about the rules to Clue.
But yeah, as billytea said, it's a pretty terrible game with or without auctions.
the only thing that ever seemed to make it fun was cheating
Ah! You would be welcome to any game night with my family.

Yeah. It allows Santorum and other conservatives to play the victim.

Well, Dan Savage can be a giant asshole, frankly. (Yup, I know lots of people like him, and I don't discount the It Gets Better project. He can still be a giant asshole who dismisses and marginalizes sexualities that aren't...well, that aren't his own.)

I hate Monopoly. I always bought all the utilities and went bankrupt, which is kind of like my actual life. My sister always got the expensive properties and then I landed on them.
Evil game.

to add to this: he also seems to have a serious blindspot for women. If I woman asks him a question, Hera help her. Most of the time she will not get what she needs.
