Chapter 11

Just a short chapter, the boys are still looking for their father.....

previous chapter

They had been expecting their father to be waiting for them when they landed not far from the house. That was not the case.

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

The light is green.

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

(HEADCANONS)

Scott - Not the best player but also not the worst. Strategic. Will try and bribe Alan to sell him his properties. Never face-palms more than during an intense game of Monopoly. Is either insanely rich or almost completely bankrupt, no inbetween. Always wins the 'get out of jail free' card and uses the top hat game piece.

John - One of the strongest players of them all. Is extremely strategic with his purchaes and builds a steadily growing stack of cash. All his properties have a minimum of two houses of them. Incredibly smug whenever anyone lands on his properties and have to pay him rent. Owns all the train stations so he earns a solid sum of cash. Ends up in jail more times than anyone else for some reason. Enjoys longer board games in general.

Virgil - He's neither here nor there really. If there's no catastrophic global emergency going on, he's more than happy to sit and play such a lengthy game with his family. Refuses to exchange his four houses for a hotel because he prefers the green to red. Is the banker, always the banker.

Gordon - Stratergy is to buy anything and everything. 50/50 chance it works completely in his favour or he ends up completely bankrupt within the first hour. Will try and pinch money from the bank when nobody's looking only to havr his hand smacked away by either Virgil or Kayo. Will fan himself with his wad of cash if he's rich enough. Uses the duck as his game piece.

Alan - To be honest, he's not that great at it. Tries to be strategic but doesn't always work out. Gets bored of how long the game is and isn't a big fan of playing it. Would rather play his VR headset than sit than play Monopoly and listen to his brothers squabble at each other over auctioning and rent prices. Feels like playing it is a long unbearable unskippable ad.

Kayo - Always end up as the owner of 'Mayfair'. Absolutely has a hotel on it and charging 2k every time someone lands on it. Absolutely loaded. Has to explain the rules to Alan every time they play because he forgets every time. Never gets sent to jail. Like ever.

Brains - Doesn't always agree to play but when he does, he's an average player. Quickly realised that being a genius doesn't always work to an advantage in Monopoly. Often decides to form a team with MAX.

Grandma Tracy - Surprisingly good of a player. Always the one to suggest playing. One of her favourites. Often has to calm the table when arguments get out of hand. Pursuades everyone to join in. Threatens to send them all to jail if they don't play nicely.

Lady Penelope - If she's with them, she's more than happy to play. Has been to every play available on the board with Parker. Always owns 'Picadilly' and will have a hotel on it. Her London accent makes playing feel 'more authentic' according to Gordon (he's trying to flirt with her).
