Tycoons you'd find in like 2016. Haunted House Tycoons, Space Tycoons, PMC Tycoons. You step on a cash register to get cash, step on a button to buy something, then step on the register to get more cash...

It's a glorified idle game, but with PVP.


That's, weirdly, the best kind of game. Preferably best on a lazy day when you just slump into whatever soft surface you can and stay there. Those are the best kind of days to play Roblox tycoon games.

What about games like city tycoon or military tycoon, with no register?

Don't really touch those games that much. Like Atheris said, I play register-steppers more often. I mostly turn on Roblox as a lazy game. You know, whenever there aren't Bible Bots teaching me about Jesus.

I sadly was not around on Roblox when tix were a thing, it was a dick move to get rid of them. Removing tix was a good idea for Roblox to make a huge profit, but it was a shitty decision as it was a big middle finger to the players, making a lot of them leave the site and hating the game with a passion. If tix were added back tix now with how rich Roblox has become today, it would be economic suicide, but Roblox has already been making shitty decisions like ending events, making it harder to find good games, and terrible moderation, which turns people away from the game, making them not spending money on it.
Speaking of how bad the moderation is, my brother once got a warning for making a decal of dragon ball charters doing a fusion, the reason they listed was "Hate Speech".

Honestly, I never really got into that one. I prefer the classic tycoons.

Bee swarm simulator is a good game and it is somewhat like a tycoon. I feel like I should stop playing it though as it can be somewhat boring, Collecting pollen from flowers endlessly can be a pain, but I have a lot of progress in that game and it is a good game to play to make time go by. I always liked the happy environment of that game too and raising my bees.

Recent favorites are Bee Swarm Simulator (hard to get into, but once you do it's great) and Ghost Hunting Simulator (nice storyline, fun gameplay, constant updates). Phantom Forces is always fun to get some energy out. I suck at it though.

I see someone already mentioned Bee simulator, it takes a while to turn my thoughts into word. I always have to constantly reword things when I'm creating a post, making it take so long.

Ah, thread got moved, I see?

Considering Roblox is an art form, the new board does seem fitting.

Not exactly trolling, but the Natural Disaster Survival game has player interaction in it, meaning one player's avatar can move another player's. Some of my best laughs have come immediately after pushing some other player off the top/side of whatever building we're all standing on and watching the hashtag walls appear in the chat. It gets a bit tedious after a while, but it's still pretty fun.

Time to fight with axes, they are much stronger.

1. d4 is weak since the game goes much slower than 1. e4.

When they do 1. e4 respond with 1. e5 as you maintain control of the center. Avoid 2. d4 because it's just really, really bad.

White offers a pawn to divert the black e-pawn. If Black accepts the gambit, White has two main plans. The first is to play d4 and Bxf4, regaining the gambit pawn with central domination. The alternative plan is to play Nf3 and Bc4 followed by 0-0, when the semi-open f-file created after a pawn push to g3, allows White to attack the weakest point in Black's position, the pawn on f7. Theory has shown that in order for Black to maintain the gambit pawn, they may well be forced to weaken their kingside, with moves such as ...g5 or odd piece placement (e.g. ...Nf6–h5). A downside to the King's Gambit is that White weakens their own king's position, exposing it to the latent threat of ...Qh4+ (or ...Be7–h4+). With a black pawn on f4, White cannot usually respond to the check with g3, but if the king is forced to move then it also loses the right to castle.

Best not to humor Super. He or she just created the account 16 or so minutes ago, likely with mischievous intentions. Continuing to engage with then while acknowledging that this person might be a troll could result in the derailing of the thread, an argument, or moderator warnings, not that I believe anyone is reacting poorly to the situation. Just want to put that out there before anything escalates.
