pony express comp

[Aaron]

the comp about fast cash got me thinking today when i was playing pony express, whats the most you have ever hit skill stop on a pony express or clones. was wondering as i cant ever get past 14.

Skill Stop?

Is this a super skill stop?

I think he means the skill square on the board the same as diamond mine lotr2 etc. Iv'e never been past level 10 myself. I would have thought 14 would have been jp or very close to.

Seems doubtful to get to level 14..I've never gone over 10 myself and it will bounce if you hit it right and it can't afford anymore add ons to the trails. I can only assume that you had next to no trail fills for a good portion of those skill stops before you got there.

yea for like the frist 5-6 got nothing added then very little each time. and ive heard that 16-17 is normally jp. also a rummour i have heard about when on a im and land on this square you can get more than jp and it gives a streak. i have not seen it or done it. have only heard a rummour can anyone clear this up ?. pm if needs be plz.

What's the point in SS, will just bounce on the block I'd assume?

What about that thing on fruit-chat, about IJ (2 or 3), (cut n paste)

doubtful I know, but there is meant to be something else for this (assume its IJ2)

I think when its in im you only land on cash squares, if so you couldn't land on skill.

HOLD ON! Whats the F*cking point in doing that on Pony Express anyway, in fact whats the point in even playing it? U never win on them, unless u consider £2-3 profit. If you can give me a good reason to play them, then fair enough (I VERY much doubt it though!)

as where i play it, a pub, there alot of drunk old men who dont have a clue. also when they get on the superboard they always take crazy fruits. at this point it is costing them 20 pound to take a feature that gives out a 5. then they always just leave the. now i normaly end up with aorund a 5-10 pound profit from this thats why im asking about the skill stop.

[a1056688]

It is likely to be impossible to get JP using the Skill Stop method these days as it is not 'True Skill' and as "Kid" outlined above it will simply bounce.

Unless your forcing for JP, which i wouldnt advise anyway, i would forget about using the 'Skill Stop' method and start taking something worth while from ss, that might give you a profit, like +3 cash.

In my opionion:

'Pony Express' is a complete waste of time.

'Hells Bells' on the other hand. Now you're talking.
