There's a great XKCD that

great XKCD

Why you no like XKCD?

Clearly, now there must be war between our peoples. And this will be carried out using the most inhumane and gruelling form of warfare available.

Monopoly.

I call the top hat.

RACE CAR!

IRON!

Ship.

Monopoly? Bah. I propose a game of Scrabble to the death.

The pony who gets second or third in every event is still a better athlete than the one who gets first in one event and doesn't place in any of the others. Unless there was someone with a rodeo-related cutie mark who came first in everything, AJ still did pretty damn well.

I realize I'm a little late on this, but I wanted to chime in anyway: this is exactly why the Decathlon is scored on a cumulative point system, and the winner of the Decathlon is crowned the Olympic Champion. Being excellent at a dozen events, even if you're not the very best at any of them, is considered more impressive than being the very best at only one or two. Honestly, it's a little surprising that the rodeo competition AJ went to didn't have something like that. Judging by those medals, she'd have been Rodeo Champion for sure.

Also, Dorku, your avatar is giving me flashbacks to another forum.

This is marginally relevant.

So which piece would each of the mane 6 choose?

Groucho is best Marx Brother.

Which one?

Dash would definitely pick the cannon.

Oh, yeah. Batman.

...what?

Also relevant.

I demand MLP brand Monopoly, Hasbro!

@Dorku: [[http://z8.invisionfree.com/DogEared/index.php? Dog-Eared.]] It was a successor forum to Anti Shurtugal with a focus on literary criticism and peer review.

@CD: I posted this Batman fanart, and that means take a drink.

SWEET AWESOME!

Heh. I've still got a copy of the Pokémon version around here somewhere. They came up with odd rules on doubles, such as double-1's letting you teleport (which was, um, horribly broken), to allowing you to roll off against another player in an attempt to claim one of their properties on a double-6.

Strangely enough, this did not make the game any faster.

Never heard of it, so I assure you it was someone else.

I mean, how did Edna Krabapple get a Monopoly spinoff before ponies?

@Connie The Monopoly places are cool and all, but it was the image of all eleven Doctors around the same TARDIS console that send me into fits of fanboy glee.

She did?

Yeah, I figured it was a long shot, but you never know.

Ezaktly...

But also, I would so love if Edna Krabopoly was defictionalized.

Except, I wouldn't wanna buy it. I would just be glad that it exists.

I don't think Pony Monopoly is actually such a good idea.

I mean, the show is about friendship and has elements of generosity, honesty and loyalty. All of these things are in short supply around a Monopoly board.

Although they could print it with a picture of Discord in the middle of the board...

Discord with a top hat and monocle.

Merchandise-Driven.

I try not too think too much about the real world.

Yeah, he's a classy SOB.

Thank you for purchasing My Little Pony: Friendship is Monopoly. We hope you will learn many important lessons about friendship from the arguments, sulks, tantrums, tell-Joey-I'm-not-speaking-to-hims and occasional knife fights that this product will cause.

There's already a fanmade one.
