(O)PTIMIZE Reloaded: StrangerCoug's game!

[Mist7676]

That simile was longer than a rattlesnake!

[swyellowtail]

This isn't very optimized.

[yabbaguy]

I totally forgot to declare my V/LA to France. Hopefully later tonight my time I'll be able to update though.

This is just for the rest of the week.

Nobody Special

If Nobody Special cashes in, the last 2 empty golden spheres will each get $1,000 to put you in the money for sure.

Nobody Special

*the lid trembles in NS' shaky hand as it lifts up*

Nobody Special

*loud cheers, everything flashes violet*

ANOTHER 4!!! What a run of color spheres we're getting here!

In fact, we've seen a single 0, a single 1, a single 2, two 3s, and three 4s. Wowie zowie.

Well, with those pesky golden spheres still serving a suspension right now, we've got a huge chance to blow a hole in this game if this target is lower. What's in that other sphere?

Nobody Special

*NS nearly jostles the sphere out of its holster as he unsteadily lifts the lid*

Nobody Special

*some exasperation, but applause nonetheless from the audience*

Aha, the same result! Whaddaya know!

So, congratulations first of all, you will be taking some money out of this game.

*everyone applauds*

This is the exact same quandary you were faced with that round except now ultraviolet's up a tick. Still the same target of 2, still those same annoying array of 15 golden spheres left.

Does that change which sector gets this 2?

[yabbaguy]

Prodding Xalxe again now that I know this forum seems to be working. *crosses fingers*

[Xalxe]

forum keeps logging me out ughhhhhh

Also FRICK A 2 AGAIN

IceGuy

, don't freeze me out or something puns are hard

[yabbaguy]

Deleting cookies does the trick. Or going into some "safe/incognito" browsing window. I suppose. ^_^

IceGuy

Third time ultraviolet's been given a difficult target to contest with. But if IceGuy beats it anyway, a $10,000 glimmer comes onto the horizon.

Also that would be the first time he's found a sphere above a 2

at all

if I'm not mistaken.

[JasonWazza]

Or going into some "safe/incognito" browsing window. I suppose. ^_^

Thanks for that tip, i've been having this problem with only firefox and this works

[Feirei]

I basically "DELETED FUCKING EVERYTHING" and it resolved it. o/

[IceGuy]

Had the same problem when logging in.

Anyway, here's me going for a 3 or 4 for a change:

1 / 3

I basically "DELETED FUCKING EVERYTHING" and it resolved it. o/

Where's the delete fucking everything button?

[Feirei]

Lol

[yabbaguy]

I now have this weird temptation to change my delete key so that it's red and says those words on it.

IceGuy

*IceGuy bends back the lid*

IceGuy

*audience awws, set turns gray*

Hey, there's still always a next time.

Well, that 2 went on a 0 so that's good play. UV is the first sector to lose twice though, it's down to a $25K maximum.

IceGuy

0/4'd it. You'll get it next time, I hope.

*spotlights shine on golden spheres, I get startled*

Oh yeah, this part.

*audience laughs*

It's been a while.

Staggeringly in favor of red still. If red doesn't appear in this golden sphere, it's gonna be up to a 50% of appearing. That would be really interesting because you've still got four players left over there. Hmm.

*reaches my hand into the second row, counts off two, and snaps the lock on the next golden sphere*

*flips it up*

*audience oohs*

But it is red! Ooooooh boy indeed.

See, it's interesting. If red made it to $50K, green and UV couldn't possibly get that high. But it's still 4 wins away, so it's difficult to tell whether that red golden sphere dropping is a good thing or not.

That said, your only other 0 of the game did go to red. We all now wonder what you'll do this time.

[Xalxe]

Red sounds good. Let's go

JerryArr

By contrast, here's a guy who's only shown up with a sphere less than 2 once. However, that would be last game's 0 on 0.

Let's see if he gets back to his dominating ways with the spheres now. We really want that $50K to stay put as long as we can.

[Xalxe]

By contrast, here's a guy who's only shown up with a sphere less than 2 once. However, that would be last game's 0 on 0.

You are the least helpful host did you know

[JerryArr]

Haha...

Okay, time to make these spheres 200% more scared. Which is still 0 scared, because spheres are not capable of having emotions.

Anyway!

1, then 3

[yabbaguy]

JerryArr

*the lid arises*

JerryArr

*groans from the crowd, set loses color*

That hurt. 0 wasted on a 0 and the $50K we were so interested in has now vanished.

...

Yikes.

JerryArr

*spotlights illuminate golden spheres, I walk over*

Maybe red's not so good anymore for us. We'll see. We lost two blue golden spheres but if the other two stick around for a while, we could have a shot at that $200K. Let's see...

*unlocks the sphere*

*turns up the lid*

*audience applause*

Red now with the lowest maximum loses another golden sphere. I like it.

Well, you put a 0 on red hoping to boost it, and literally the exact opposite has happened. Such are the spheres sometimes. >_>

Halfway through. Let's get the ball rolling for the second half and get this 0 working, whaddaya say?

[Xalxe]

Second verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit

animorpherv1

!

[yabbaguy]

animorpherv1

Undeterred by that last cycle, Xalxe presses red again. animorpherv1 also has had really bad luck trying to tame his spheres. Will they FINALLY cooperate with him today? I hope so!

[animorpherv1]

4,5.

[yabbaguy]

animorpherv1

*ani silently turns up the lid*

animorpherv1

*loud cheers from the crowd, ani celebrates, set flashes red*

THERE you go!

*more cheering*

ani doesn't just end the curse, he utterly tears it up. Wowie. Red advances to $2,000.

The only pity is that ani was only against a 0, so we didn't give him nearly the challenge he deserved. But here's a new one: can he keep Xalxe on this target of 0? That would be excellent news...

animorpherv1

*lid rises*

animorpherv1

*awws from crowd*

Can't win them all. Still, four 4s this early in the game is a wonderful thing to see.

This 3 comes at a very interesting crossroads because every color's still quite a bit of potential. But you're gonna have to make a tough choice now.

[yabbaguy]

Where are you Xalxe?

[Xalxe]

Sorry, I heard there were chocolates backstage! Turns out, there are not. Can we fix that?

Let's go...

Y'know, if orcinus at green had done anything other than get a 4, I wonder if the 3s would be flying towards green. Instead, we now have another high target headed for ultraviolet.

DiplomatDC, if you can find the 4 by chance, it does upgrade ultraviolet to $10,000.
