I think it should be an award now. Although I'd rename it to something else, and I leave it to your imagination as to what I'm thinking, hahaha. EDIT: And This here is chatroom talk. Use the edit feature to minimize posts, especially back-to-back. It's just netiquette.

I. Understand. EDIT BY JWINSLOW23: Merged 2 posts. But seriously, I get it. Sorry about that.
If I could have a tool-assisted real life, I'd... Being a novice, I'd probably load the wrong state, have the IRS AI bankrupt me, and eventually make me want to kill myself and redo 11 years of hard work.

Because my friend's (JWinslow23's) first submission was cancelled, I know this is not worthy of publication, but it still is a cool TAS! I made this when I first heard about TASing, and since I thought this could actually get published, I made this. However, when JWinslow23's submission was cancelled, I abandoned this. I just recently found this on my computer, and decided to show you this. On dehacked: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1023865443/Monopoly%20fastest%20TAS.fm2 Give feedback!
Life can be tough, but video games are tougher.

I wonder if would be possible to execute arbitrary code in this game? Set players to 8, all human, random letters, time limit, game editor, convert human to computer, etc. and have 4 controllers.

Why would that let you execute arbitrary code? Usually to do ACE you need to find a crash, such that the crash is because it reads data in RAM that is somewhat under your control as code. So find a crash or heavy corruption bug, and then come back.

I found a glitch in when you trade a whole set of properties of the same color with hotels, the hotel counter goes up. The most ideal way is with the preloaded game "Building Shortage" with 2 human players and 2 computer players. Press select, select a computer player, trade properties to human player, accept, re-enter, trade the properties back, accept, repeat, and now you can place more hotels. Now all colored properties can have hotels after hotels are placed on either the purple or yellow properties so that houses can be placed on green and blue properties beforehand. An awesome way to trick the system into thinking that the hotels were sold which are really aren't. I made a run that shows you can make a CPU give up his or her properties to a human player.

Hey, since there was an interest in infinite runs, I think this can be a candidate for an infinite TAS; hell there's even a 70 day real world record for it, so it has much more "meaning" than SMB2 infinity.

Interesting idea. It has happened to me a few times on both NES versions and Genesis versions where the game would never end. Although the Genesis version does this more often due to AI being very selfish with trades mid-late game. I'd wonder how a TAS would go about setting the scenario up.

It is possible to win in one turn. Do the Big Boys Game. Each player has $1000 Your opponent spends $750 on 5 houses on the red properties then you chime in and you chime in and you spend $1000 on 5 houses on the blue properties. Your opponent has $1,175 in assets and $250 cash. That's not enough to get him bankrupt in 1 roll as Boardwalk with 3 hotels is $1400 rent. Possibilities: - Your opponent goes first, rolls double 2's, lands on Income Tax, pays $200, rolls 3, lands on Chance, Advance to Boardwalk, bankrupt, you win. - Your opponent goes first, rolls snake eyes, lands on Community Chest, pays doctor's fee ($50), hospital bill ($100), school tax ($150), or street repairs ($200), rolls 5, lands on Chance, Advance to Boardwalk, bankrupt, you win. - You go first, roll snake eyes, land on Community, Grand Opera Night (collect $50 from opponent), roll 8, just visiting. Opponent's turn, rolls 7, lands on Chance, Advance to Boardwalk, bankrupt, you win. It's possible to win after just one roll of the dice. But this requires mortgaging your yellow properties to build 2 more houses on the blue properties so that your opponent won't have enough to pay the rent ($1700). This method actually take longer and can actually backfire. Worst possibility: Your opponent rolls snake eyes, lands on Community Chest, advance to GO, rolls snake eyes again, lands on Community Chest again, Bank error in your favor ($200), Xmas fund matures ($100), or You Inherit $100., rolls 5, lands on Chance, Advance to Boardwalk, sells all houses, mortgages all properties. Your opponent either has $25 or $125. You spend $500 on hotels on the purple properties, enough to get your opponent bankrupt. Passing GO you get $200 added your total, Mediterranean Avenue will get your opponent bankrupt if he has $25 before passing GO. Baltic Avenue will get him bankrupt no matter how much money he has.
