TIC TAC DOUGH - Game 12 (Signups Always Open)

[Xalxe]

But have we considered: Communism is good, actually?

70s TV

Keith, Laurie, Danny, Christopher, and Tracy were siblings in what 1970s sitcom?

[pablito]

Wink Martindale would not stand for such toomfoolery.

Well this TV show sounds like it's ripe for an early 2000s revival including the crossover event with a cousin Oliver, because everyone needs one of those.

I'll take a guess that this is The Partridge Family?

[Xalxe]

I...I feel as if you're not guessing here?

Anyhow, you are, of course, absolutely correct!

xofelf

, pablito is really proving to be a formidable opponent. Where to now?

[Allomancer]

hmm. I wonder where she's gonna pick?

[xofelf]

Number Please~

[Xalxe]

Finally

Just a reminder: once you answer, pablito will choose whether the correct answer is HIGHER or LOWER than the answer you gave. Whoever's right gets the square!

Number Please

To the nearest million dollars, how much would $1 million USD in 1900 have been worth in 2017?

[xofelf]

Oh god, why?

Uhhhhhhhhhh... It's like.... 25 million or something, right?

[Xalxe]

I’m taking 25 million as your answer, I guess?

pablito, is the correct answer HIGHER or LOWER?

[pablito]

I'm glad I deferred on this square but damn this is tough. I keep going back and forth on this, but at least if I go out it's on my choice.

I'll go with higher only because that's what I wanna be.

[Xalxe]

pablito

says the answer is HIGHER than $25 million...

The correct answer is...

That $1 million in 1900 money...

Would have been worth, in 2017...

...

$30 million! pablito gets the square!



Well now, this is a brand new situation.

pablito

is one square away from a win to dethrone our champion! Now, this is an important decision, so think about it carefully. Where to next?

[pablito]

Well, speaking of communism, I once was unwillingly made into a tour guide for several American couples in Cuba at a missile crisis museum, so I'm going for some Tourism!

[Xalxe]

You have such interesting stories, I do hope I get to hear more of them soon.

Tourism

Montego Bay is a tourist destination in what country?

[pablito]

Well during the commercial break, I can say more.

Right now, I kinda need to go through Kokomo to see if I can reason this out: Bermuda, Bahama, Come on pretty mama, Czechia, Montego, baby why don't we go. to Jamaica for the Florida Piano keys? There's a place called Tallinn in Estonia and then there's Transdniestr which is a part of Moldova that doesn't exist.

I think those are the lyrics.

I don't know, but I'm sure I once saw this from searching for all those nude resorts in the Caribbean, so I'll guess it's Jamaica?

[Xalxe]

Jamaica, Aruba, ooh I wanna take ya...

to the bonus game, because that is absolutely correct!



xofelf, thank you so much for playing, you were quite the force to start our show off, and you're still taking home a prize pool worth nearly $11,000. Congratulations!

Now, pablito, follow me over here to the bonus game...

[Xalxe]

pablito, congratulations on your win, and welcome to the bonus game, Beat the Dragon. Here's how it works.

Eight of those squares have monetary values, ranging from $50 to $500. Find them, they get added to the pot. Your goal is to meet or beat $1000 and you'll win our prize pack for the day.

One of those squares has the Dragon. Find him and you'll lose everything you've earned here, but your $3500 from the main game, that's safe, no touching that!

You can walk away at any time if you think you've earned enough or think the odds aren't in your favor.

Announcerman, tell him what today's prize package is!

Well Xalxe, in honor of The Lego Movie 2, we'll be sending you and three friends to Legoland Orlando!

You'll stay in the luxurious Orland World Center Mariott, be treated to a Gold Brick VIP Legoland experience, including the new Lego Movie Land, and get a special exclusive screening of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part! Total cash value is $2,755!

Well that sounds wonderful.

pablito

, what's your first pick?

[xofelf]

/in

Honestly, as much as toying with pabs is fun, I wasn't confident in that numbers category, and turns out I was right to be concerned. There's no one I'd rather turn my trivia throne over to though, so it's all good.

[pablito]

I did not expect this! I think the dragon is underneath number 2 since it was mentioned so many times in the prize package. So I'm choosing square #2!

[Xalxe]

You, uh...okay, sure, why not!



Hey, big money! Now, are you playing or walking away?

[pablito]

I don't want money I want love. And only the dragon can give me the heartache I'm looking for.

Let's try #7 since that looks like half of a heart or something anatomical.

[Xalxe]

That Dragon's been behind 7 twice so far, is this the third time?



He is not! Another $250! Play or walk away?

[pablito]

Come out come out wherever you are!

Are you under that pesky center square? Let's do #5

[Xalxe]

Yes Mx. Dragon, are you behind #5?



Oh no, just more money! Press on or fall back?

[pablito]

I only need one more shot of love (no tequila). Number 8 for a tic tac doh.

[Xalxe]

Alright, going for the Tic Tac Dough! Behind square 8...

roaring, burning sound effects

Oh no, the dragon! Well, no bonus winnings, but you've got your $3500 and a spot as our new Champion on our next episode!

Thanks everyone for joining us on this episode, we've had a lovely time. Hope you'll come play with us next time. I'm your host Xalxe, and until next time, stay turnt!

[Xalxe]

As a couple of housekeeping notes before I get the next game started:

a) I'm really bad at coming up with ideas for the prize packages; if you have clever ideas, or even just inspiration to bounce off of, PM/DM me!
2) Now that xofelf isn't the only one on the leaderboard I wanted to publicize that this exists.
