Yeah I saw something on the street boards declaring the 'great monopoly hoax'. Looks like the piece of shit paper we call the Advertiser can't help but cut SA down at every opportunity. Talk about supporting your own state. I hope the person who wrote this article gets a huge kick up the ass (to put it politely). The editors and 'journalists' couldn't just let it be but instead try to bag SA whenever it got the chance. Well, I will NEVER buy another Advertiser again.

"Do you believe Adelaide and Barossa should have gotten the top two spots? 47% Yes, 53% No." lol

hahaha good ol' SA ingenuity
funny story, and now that how-ever-many boards have been printed up what is the future? take them off the shelves?
i will freely agree that it was wrong to rig it up like this, but it has to be said that their little hack got the job done, and either the admin of the monopoly site didn't realise what was happening or was "compliant" by allowing it to continue. hmmm ... i bet the eastern seaboard will use this against SA for years to come yet

Well it would be pretty pathetic if we do because EVERY state cheated though especially us, WA and Queensland.

Well I think we still won the competition fairly. Computer nerds in other states could have done the same thing. If they didn't that their problem.

Nah, we got the invite but had to be at the studio by 2pm and most of us had work or something else going on at the time. don't think the nation would want to see our ugly mugs on there anyway.

Either way, if there really is the need to point on the blame, the Monopoly Board should be responsible. First, it is stupid enough to host an online casting votes and let the public secure their spots, secondly, if they really had no choice but to go online, they should have a bullet-proof, hacked-proof online casting system.
If they cannot come up with a good explanation, they could go bankrupt if the entire Australian states except SA decided to boycott
What's worse? The other states just cannot accept SA's victory, anytime.

Didn't see this thread before, but not only do we have the best spots on the Monopoly board, we also have the best hackers in the country

I think we've got a point to prove , that regardless of voting systems we can get Adelaide on the Monopoly board fair and square - as it deserves to be because its the best city in Australia.... I am going to email all my friends and family and nominate Adelaide everyday until the end of the month and I bet we get on the board - if ALL OF US DO THE SAME - visit
http://www.monopoly.com and nominate Adelaide - LET's ALL GIVE IT A GO AND SEE IF WE CAN"T GET ADELAIDE ON THE LEADER BOARD BY THE END OF THIS WEEK!
