I'm working on image backups in case anything happens to postimg so that the images from before this point are preserved. (I have a folder for the old game, but it's a lower priority, and I haven't checked whether there's much I can do about it.) Since the site

started working again, xofelf will not be prodded for another (expired on 2016-10-30 13:57:33).

[StrangerCoug]

Five hundred dollars.

And yes, the $1,500 wedge is supposed to be on the wheel this early. I retired $1,250 from Round 2 in favor of that. (Both are still on the Round 3 wheel.)

The category for Round 6 is

*bell rings*

That's the speedup bell, which means time is running short. I'll give the wheel a final spin:

Original Roll String: 1d72

1 72-Sided Dice: (35) = 35

I will ask you to give me a letter. If it's in the puzzle, you'll have 24 hours to solve it. Vowels are worth nothing; consonants are worth $1,000 plus...

[StrangerCoug]

...$700, so $1,700 apiece.


puzzledan, we start with you. A letter, please.

(Also, something I feel you're entitled to know: I will not declare V/LA, but I expect to be busy with lab homework and finals until Thursday afternoon, so checking this game is a low priority for me. Until that time, if I have not called time on you, you may still take your turn.)

[StrangerCoug]

That's time and strike two, and since that kicks him out of the round and there won't

another round (due to it being the speedup), that ends puzzledan's participation in the match. Thank you for playing.

You could win a

He had a PM outstanding.

Working on this right now.

[StrangerCoug]

Okey-dokey. A couple more changes, but this time not to the rules or the wheel placements. The biggest one is that I'm going to use the old thread's name of simply StrangerCoug's Wheel of Fortune from here on out officially. StrangerCoug's New Wheel of Fortune will still be used to distinguish this game from the old one, which is getting the retronym StrangerCoug's Old Wheel of Fortune in that situation. The other changes are just minor cosmetic things.

doctorwho?

[StrangerCoug]

I am aware of a Skype chat in which racefan12 was told the source of the song the lyric comes from and to which ForWhomTheJellyRolls has access. I am stopping doctorwho's prod timer as of this post and investigating the level of damage done to the integrity of the round as a result. If racefan12 knows the lyric as a result of being told where it came from, I will have no choice but to throw out the puzzle and replace it. If I make the decision to continue the round, I will make public where the song comes from before accepting any more actions.

To everyone:

PLEASE

do not give players any hints to ongoing puzzles or discuss them outside of this thread. Thank you for your cooperation.

Edited to add:

I thought it important to mention that this happened

AFTER

racefan12 solved the puzzle incorrectly; I would have thrown the puzzle out outright if racefan12 had attempted a solve based on this information (and likely considered auto-lossing him or kicking him out).

[StrangerCoug]

I will go ahead and continue the round. So doctorwho has the same information as his opponents, the song that the lyric is from is from Rocky Horror Picture Show. His prod timer restarts now.

[StrangerCoug]

67 years ago today, on March 14, 1950, as a matter of fact (though that's not why I held the reveal for so long—that one I have no excuse for, and I apologize for that).

Tossup soon (most likely after I figure out where the game clock should be since I lost track of it).

[StrangerCoug]

Expect this to be on the road again within 24 hours.

[StrangerCoug]

...Yeah. I'm sorry for the game dragging as long as it has. Bear with me. I believe the game clock is now where it should be, so let's continue with a $5,000 tossup. This is a

THING

.

(expired on 2017-03-21 21:13:01) to solve or pass.

Also, I know the board light is a red-yellow-blue gradient normally in the tossup, I caught it while I was uploading and I'm too lazy to fix it right now.

[StrangerCoug]

That is incorrect. doctorwho and racefan12 may still guess.

[StrangerCoug]

(expired on 2017-03-23 16:48:49) to solve or pass. As a reminder of the rules, ForWhomTheJellyRolls is locked out of the tossup.

[StrangerCoug]

Yes!


Images and Round 4 soon.

[StrangerCoug]

The earliest I see this restarting is Monday afternoon due to schoolwork. Sorry.

[StrangerCoug]

The puzzle should be up before I go to bed. I apologize for how long this episode has dragged so far.

[StrangerCoug]

We have a

SONG AND ARTIST

for you to guess in Round 4.


racefan12, you've won the right to start. On the wheel is a nice set of appliances: a

GE PROFILE™ STAINLESS STEEL PFE28PSKSS ENERGY STAR® 27.8 FT.³ FRENCH-DOOR REFRIGERATOR WITH KEURIG® K-CUP® BREWING SYSTEM, PHB920SJSS 30" FREE-STANDING CONVECTION RANGE WITH INDUCTION, PVM9005SJSS 2.1 FT.³ OTR SENSOR MICROWAVE OVEN, & PDF820SSJSS STAINLESS STEEL INTERIOR DISHWASHER WITH FRONT CONTROLS

, altogether worth $6,696 I think they'd look pretty in your kitchen. We still have that TV for your living room, too.

[StrangerCoug]

That wasn't exactly how I wanted to be starting the round.


doctorwho?

[StrangerCoug]

...Well, I think you prefer it over getting buzzed out and risking the speedup bells taking away your shot at retiring undefeated by a hell of a lot


ForWhomTheJellyRolls, let's see if the wheel will cooperate with you.

[StrangerCoug]

It nearly got you, too! $1,750 is far from bad, though, and I think that's the first time it's been landed on since its introduction in this thread.

*bell rings*

That's the speedup bell, which means time is running out. I'll give the wheel a final spin:

Original Roll String: 1d72

1 72-Sided Dice: (47) = 47

I'm going to ask you to give me a letter. If it's in the puzzle, you'll have 24 hours to solve it. Vowels are worth nothing; consonants are worth $1,000 plus...

[StrangerCoug]

...$800, so $1,800 apiece.

ForWhomTheJellyRolls, it is still your turn. You cannot use your Wild Card in the speedup, but if you solve this puzzle, you will win the game and be allowed to call four consonants and a vowel instead of three consonants and a vowel in the bonus round. A letter, please.

[StrangerCoug]

Three T's.

"IT'S A SIN" BY THE PET SHOP BOYS

Correct

Images and recap after class.

[StrangerCoug]

Let's have a look at our scores:

racefan12, you won the second tossup, which got you $5,000. Never a bad total.

doctorwho, you leave us with $6,100 from this game and $84,034 from your visit, putting you in second place on the leaderboard. I hope you enjoyed.

ForWhomTheJellyRolls, you're our new champion with $8,800 You'll be playing the bonus round as soon as it's set up.

[StrangerCoug]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that StrangerCoug's Wheel of Fortune is proud to be the first Mish Mash game to support Tatsuya Kaname's Mish Mash Gacha Casino! Starting the next episode, you can earn Mash Coins for it just for playing this game I'll explain the changes when the next episode starts, but Tatsuya and I have already agreed on them, and they can be viewed in post 3 of the Casino thread.

[StrangerCoug]

Here's the bonus wheel, ForWhomTheJellyRolls:

You could win a

2017 BUICK REGAL W/6-SPEED AT, 2.0L TURBO DOHC WITH VVT ENGINE, ALL-WHEEL DRIVE, BUICK INTERIOR PROTECTION PACKAGE, POWER MOONROOF, & REMOTE START

worth $33,915 or anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000 in cash Spin the wheel to see what you will be playing for.

[StrangerCoug]

You're playing for $35,000, Jelly.

ON THE MAP

is the category. R, S, T, L, N, and E are up. You were holding the Wild Card when you won the game, so you get to pick

FOUR

consonants and a vowel, please.

(Also, how do you like the dark red for the bonus round?)

[StrangerCoug]

I think you know this one

ForWhomTheJellyRolls, for $35,000, the category is

ON THE MAP

. You have (expired on 2017-04-15 14:03:38) and as many chances as I have time to judge to solve it, but please wait to be judged before guessing again. Good luck!

[StrangerCoug]

Bold next time, OK?


Which of red, yellow, and blue would you like, Jelly?

[StrangerCoug]

OK. When the next two players confirm, we'll start and I'll explain the changes for the Gacha Casino.

[StrangerCoug]

Tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

[StrangerCoug]

I'm fine. Just busy

As soon as I get prizes, I'll start.

[StrangerCoug]

Here we go. This is the first game where you have the opportunity to win Mash Coins at the Mish Mash Gacha Casino. For as long as it keeps running, third place will award 1,000 Mash Coins, second place will award 2,000 Mash Coins, and first place will get 1 Mash Coin for every $2 won in the main game, subject to a house minimum of 3,000 Mash Coins There's also a gift tag worth 5,000 Mash Coins on the wheel; gift tags are a new concept to StrangerCoug's Wheel of Fortune, but the actual American show has used them for many years. They work the same way as a regular prize; the only difference is that I give a heads-up to Tatsuya Kaname if you win a round holding the tag so you can use your winnings from it immediately.

Also, I believe this is SCWOF's first sibling rivalry! Good luck to the brothers as well as to D3f3nd3r, who plays against them both.

We start you off with a
