Re: The (Talkhaus) Price is Right Ep. 2 - It's Over!

[YelseyKing]

Well...

No, but... I THINK WE KNOW WHERE THE LAST TWO NUMBERS GO NOW!

[Wolfolotl]

[YelseyKing]

This one again. I trust you know where it goes by now.

[Wolfolotl]

tens!

[YelseyKing]

Well shucks! You're right!

Now it comes down to that last pick. 1 or 2! This time, you win, or you lose! Mwahahaha! TENSION!

[Wolfolotl]

[YelseyKing]

Well. If that's the last digit, you're a winner.

Dramatic tension-building blank space lol

... You're a winner!

And oh man, what a prize! You won yourself an almost $60,000 luxury car! And so ends this ridiculously long game! Hooray! Back after these messages, at which point we can finally move on! Hooray again!

Don't get used to prizes that big in the regular pricing games. Three Strikes is almost always played for expensive luxury cars on the show itself. Probably to make up for how long and generally difficult it is to win it when it *is* entirely up to randomness.

[YelseyKing]

Ayjo: Zzzzzz... Muffins'n... Zzzzzzz......

Ayjo, wake up!

Ayjo: Whuh? Oh, Three Strikes is finally over? Sheesh. That took, what, a month?

Yeah, yeah. Just call our next contestant before everyone loses interest.

Ayjo: All right already. It's... wait. Our lovely assistant? Is that even *allowed*? I guess it... must be, for our version. Whatever. bkamakaze, come on down! You're the next contestant on the Talkhaus Price is Right!

Now, what's our next item up for bids?

Ayjo: Weeeeellllll......

*turntable rotates to reveal a bunch of ski equipment*

Ayjo: It's a whole bunch of new ski equipment! Just in time for summer, too! From the... ironically named "Summer Weather Attire", we have four pairs of skis, helmets, kneepads, and... those ski sticks. We've also included four ugly sweaters, provided by Grandma's Ugly Sweaters Inc.

bkamakaze gets first bid, followed by jayScribble, Jesuiscontent, and FluffiMasta.

[Dizzybelle]

who, me?

uh okay

[jayScribble]

$450

[Jesuiscontent]

That was the best month in my life

[Sorel]

[YelseyKing]

The bids are in! THE SAME DAY, EVEN! Colds do suck, don't they? Now.

Actual retail price of that winter equipment is... $863!

FluffiMasta, get yo' self up on stage!

Now, to keep up with tradition, here's something to go with that winter stuff you just won...

*door #2 opens, revealing a snowmobile*

Ayjo: Again, just in time for summer, it's a brand new snowmobile! Or maybe you live somewhere on the Eastern side of the world, in which case it's getting on winter, in which case, hey, perfect! I digress. From YAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, whose name I sincerely don't trust, it's... a snowmobile! Comfortably (or so they say) seats 2. "Capable of serious off-road adventures". Well, I should hope so, not-helpful-at-all prize description. It's a terrific (?) prize worth $7,980!

It's Secret "X"! If that looks like a tic-tac-toe board, that's because, well. It basically is.

The object of this game is simple. Somewhere in those three red question mark panels is the "Secret X". And the object is to simply line up three X's in a row, *using* that Secret X. Now, I'll give you one free X:

And you're free to place that on any of the yellow spaces on the board. I'll also give you a chance to earn up to two more X's by correctly guessing the prices of a couple small prizes. And no, if you happen to win both X's, you *cannot* just place them all on one side of the board for an easy win. It just doesn't work that way.

We'll get to the small prizes in a moment. For now, where do you want your free X placed?

[Dizzybelle]

[sprints back to the presentation corner]

[Sorel]

(i kinda was busy for two days, sorry.)

Place it in the top left corner.

[YelseyKing]

All right. That looks good.

Now, as I said, you can earn up to two more X's through some simple price-guessing. What do we have, Ayjo?

Ayjo: First, we have a set of ten notebooks! Not, you know, computer notebooks. Just old spiral notebooks. The kind you write in. Do people even use these anymore?

Ayjo: Second, we have a blender. You can blend stuff with it. It's all shiny and such. And it's got a lot of blender...y... options... Yeah.

For now, let's focus on those notebooks. They're either $20 or $40. If you can guess the correct price, you win the notebooks and another X. Which is it?!??!!??!?!?!

[Sorel]

I'll go with... 20.

[YelseyKing]

And the correct price is... *flips card* $20! Correct!

You win another X.

Now, go ahead and place that... and meanwhile, I have the possible prices right here for the blender. It's either $30 or $45.

[Sorel]

bottom right corner

and 45 dollahs

[YelseyKing]

X placed.

And... 45 dollah is correct, so one more X4U!

Now just place it, and we'll see if you win or lose!

[Sorel]

Top right.

[YelseyKing]

All right, then. It's time to reveal the titular Secret X. If it's in the top box, you win. If it's in the middle box, you win. If it's in the bottom box... well, that's just some bad luck.

*losing horns*

So. Of course. It just *has* to be in that bottom box. Are you kidding me?

Well. That's how things go sometimes. But you played the game as well as anyone could, and you'll be back right after these messages to spin the big wheel. Maybe that'll make up for this rotten luck.

Ayjo: If you'd like tickets to the Talkhaus Price is Right, send money to 555 Ayjo Drive, Yelsia-9000, Worldia. Maybe I'll get back to you.

Ayjo!

Ayjo: Whoops! Yoink! *flees*

[YelseyKing]

We are back, and better than ever! Perhaps. Showcase Showdown #1 BEGIN!

We've gone over this in the previous episode, and since I've yet to get any better ideas, we're going with that silly pick-a-number format again.
And the rules are the same: The one who spins closest to $1.00 without going over in one spin or a combination of two spins will move on to the Showcase at the end of the show. If you get $1.00 exactly, you win $1,000 more, and get a bonus spin, in which you could win $10,000 more if you land on 5 or 15 cents, or even $25,000 more if you hit $1.00 again! Yup.

Wolfolotl, whose game took close to a month to finish, but that ended in a spectacular victory, will spin last. Picochilla, who played Make Your Move so well, spins second, and FluffiMasta, who got stuck with the worst luck imagineable in Secret X will spin first.

Mr. Masta, give me a number between 1-20!

[Sorel]

I pick 19(.9999999999)

[YelseyKing]

45 cents. I'm guessing you'll want to spin again.

Calculations: A 10 came up on random.org. Using that same weird formula, 19+10=29, -20=9. x5=45. Yay.
