Deal or No Deal (it's goodbye from me...)

[xtopherusD]

As much as I would love to see someone win something like $5 on a Deal or No Deal show, I'd prefer it not to be me. Besides, 227 is a nice number. Good friend's birthday, actually.

I'll take the deal!

[RichardGHP]

OK then! Let's open up case 13 and put you out of your misery...

Spoiler: Case 13

$500... eh.

CareyHammer is next up, returning for a second go after winning $104,500 his first time here. An impressive one-day total—can he beat it this time? There's only one way to find out, and it starts with you picking a case, CareyHammer.

[RichardGHP]

On second thought, CareyHammer last visited the site on April 27. I don't think he'll be rushing back for little old Deal.

Let's see if we have better luck with TheIrishPope, whom I know to still be active.

[TheIrishPope]

Ah, the long wait was worth it, compared to the satisfaction. Let's take case 6!

[RichardGHP]

My aside-rant for the day: Randomising the cases is a much, much more arduous process than it needs to be thanks to the finicky nature of Google Docs. Maybe I'll migrate to another word processor...

6 it is!

1	2	3	4	5
7	8	9	10	11
12	13	14	15	16
17	18	19	20	21
22	23	24	25	26

6 to open	$$$
$0.10	$1000
$1	$5000
$5	$10,000
$10	$25,000
$25	$50,000
$50	$75,000
$75	$100,000
$100	CAR
$200	$300,000
$300	$400,000
$400	$500,000
$500	$750,000
$750	$1,000,000

6 is a wonderful number. By a cool coincidence, that's exactly how many cases you'll be opening in the first round!

[TheIrishPope]

Silly Google Docs
Let's open up cases:
1
2
3
4
5
7!

[RichardGHP]

I'll have those up tomorrow, but for now, I have an announcement: effective next game, the money tree will change from this:

$0.10	$1,000
$1	$5,000
$5	$10,000
$10	$25,000
$25	$50,000
$50	$75,000
$75	$100,000
$100	CAR
$200	$300,000
$300	$400,000
$400	$500,000
$500	$750,000
$750	$1,000,000

To this:

$0.10	$5,000
$1	$7,500
$5	$10,000
$10	$25,000
$25	$50,000
$50	$75,000
$75	$100,000
$100	CAR
$250	$300,000
$500	$400,000
$750	$500,000
$1,000	$750,000
$2,500	$1,000,000

[TheIrishPope]

Aww, that's nice
I reckon its purpose is to maximise winnings?

[RichardGHP]

Actually, I had to type out all the values from scratch for converting the game file to MS Word, and I decided that it looks neater, progression-wise, that way. But hey, if it helps people win more, that's a bonus.

[TheIrishPope]

I'll be damned
The elusive million dollars are so close!

[RichardGHP]

Stupid crash...

*sigh*

Did you reject the first offer yet?

[TheIrishPope]

I gave the first six cases, and you gave me the offer, and I rejected it

[RichardGHP]

OK, then. I won't write out the first offer post again, so go ahead and choose five more cases. (Preferably the same ones, but I can't remember them, so what do I care.)

[TheIrishPope]

8
21
22
23
24

[RichardGHP]

I will most likely get to this this afternoon. Today will be kind of busy, and I have double the workload on account of the crash kidnapping my post with the first six cases already plugged into the tables.

[TheIrishPope]

That's quite alright

[RichardGHP]

Case 8: $75,000
Case 21: $0.10

Apologies for the delay. Since you knocked out $0.10, we've added on $10,000 to your offer. It comes out to $36,106. Deal or No Deal?
