$500,000 is on the line.
But this isn't just luck.
This... is Optimize!

Intro Theme, camera spins around with a quick glance at 20 virtual sets of spheres. It zooms in one set which spontaneously opens to show the innards of the spheres. A golden sphere flies in, spins around while it's opening, and shows a red $0 sign inside. It shuts, spins and opens again, and this time shows an ultraviolet $500,000 (where 0,01 euro and 1 000 000 euros are shown). The sphere closes and opens again, now showing all sorts of game components flying around on screen, with amounts of money on different colored backgrounds flying into the monitor and all the spheres are flying about. An ultraviolet sphere then flies in where it should be in the logo as its button turns red and the other letters fly in as the theme concludes.*
*main theme, out I come from under the monitor, which lifts up "magically" so that I can come through the walkway onto the stage*
Hello, hello! Welcome!
*audience applauds, players are seen clapping as I come on out, theme dies down after I make my long walk out to the center of the Arena*
So yes, Optimize. What a funny game this has been. When I created this monster a few years ago, I had no idea just how much torment and how much insanity was going to result from these spheres I brought to life. After a first episode where they fell asleep on the job and allowed someone to take away $200K, ever since they've been up to their usual nefarious pranks.
But this time they may have gone too far. Feirei, having demonstrated great faith in both red and blue, the two colors left in his game, was not justly rewarded for such. He got $20,000 on red, but despite putting 1s on blue the entire time, he only scraped together $600, thanks to the fact that, somehow, JerryArr continues to demonstrate some weird immunity to the spheres' devilish ways.
*everyone chuckles, JerryArr grins a bit*
And unfortunately, Feirei got tripped up by that last devious blue golden sphere and cruelly ended up only with a consolation prize.
But maybe today one of the most prolific analysts of the game from the wings will show that there is a way for these spheres to be beaten. You've heard him often in other games, and now at last, he takes his rightful place at the center of the Arena.
Everyone please welcome,

!
*everyone cheers, the lift platform ascends and brings swyellowtail up with it. Spotlights swirl around, as do chase lights as the lift platform completes its ascent all the way to the top, bringing all the lighting back to normal*
At last, here you are. I don't know how long it's been that you've waited, but I'm assuming it was quite a lengthy amount of time. Happy to be here at last?
