Set For Life [Game 2: puzzledan & JDGA]

[Tatsuya Kaname]

It's all about luck and temptation!

TEAM SIGN-UPS

A team should include one player and one "Guardian Angel" (See Below).
To join, /in. I'll put you guys to a waiting list.
To join as an Angel for someone who is already in a waiting queue, say "/in as an Angel for[PlayerName]".
Or you can just say "/in as Angel" and I'll pick the player on the top of the waiting list.
When a team is formed by an of the two methods above, you two will be added to the queue.

Note that a waiting list is not a queue.

ROUND1: Check the Check

In this round, 3 sets of 15 envelopes are present to the team.
The first set contains different amounts of money, ranging from $20 to $2,500.
The second set contains 11 "X"s [Multiply by] and 4 "/"s [Divide by]
And the final set contains numbers from 1 to 20.

The team picks one envelope from each set, and determine the check value by
Money [X or /] Number = Check value

So the check value can be as low as $1, or can be as high as $50,000!!!

ROUND2: MAIN GAME

At this point, the "Guardian Angel" will now go to an Isolation Booth, aka Private Topic, and

never come back to view this main thread, and posts, again until the game ends.

This round's game determines how many of these monthly payments (Check) the contestant will ultimately receive. The number of payments awarded is based on the contestant's final position on the "time ladder". The contestant begins below the bottom of the ladder with zero payments:

Level	Number of Monthly Payments (aka multiplier)
SET FOR LIFE (40 years)	480
25 years	300
20 years	240
15 years	180
10 years	120
5 years	60
3 years	36
2 years	24
1 year	12
6 months	6
1 month	1

Fifteen "light sticks" — eleven white, four red — are concealed inside stands on the show's stage. Each round of play begins with the contestant selecting a light stick and pulling it from its stand, revealing its color. If the stick is white, the contestant moves up one step on the time ladder. If the stick is red, the contestant moves down one step on the time ladder, unless they are not on it, in which case the situation remains unchanged. Since there are eleven steps on the time ladder and only eleven white sticks, the "Set for Life" jackpot level can only be reached by selecting all eleven white sticks consecutively — either drawing no red sticks at all or only drawing up to three red sticks at the start of the game before any white are drawn. If the contestant draws all four red sticks, the game immediately ends, and they do not win any payments ("four reds and you're dead").

Each time a white stick is drawn, the contestant is given the option of stopping play, and leaving with the number of payments they have earned to that point. When a red stick is drawn, however, the contestant must continue to select sticks until a white stick is drawn.

GUARDIAN ANGEL

Additionally, each contestant brings a friend or family member, termed their "guardian angel". This angel is placed in an isolation booth for the duration of the game. They are provided video screens which provide full information as to what sticks the contestant has pulled and where the contestant currently stands on the time ladder; but

cannot see or hear the discussions on stage, which means cannot view the thread again until the game is over

. After each white stick is pulled, the angel is given the opportunity to press a button to unilaterally end the game.

The activities within the isolation booth are not aired until the game on the stage has ended by the contestant pulling eleven white sticks, four red sticks, or walking away on their own. Once one of these situations occurs, the game is then reviewed round-by-round, and the video of the angel is played, showing whether they chose to stop the game or not. Regardless of the contestant's own decision to play on or quit, if the angel has pressed the button at any point, the result of the game is essentially reverted, and the contestant wins however many payments they had earned to that point.

SOME RULES

1.

Waiting list is not a queue.

You must be formed as a team, by methods above, to be added to the queue.
2. During the first round, both the player and the angel can talk in the thread. But when the angel is given a private topic,

they are not allowed to view or reply to anything in the thread until the game ends

. In case if you do that, I hate you.
3. To make the game lively, talk, don't just sit and call a number. Do some action!
4. No response in 24 hours results in a prod. Except the angel who will never receive a prod.
5. For the angel, actions in Private Topic should include your discussion to the player. And after EACH stick is drawn, you have 24 hours to decide if you want to stop, or I will assume you're going on. I will not reveal, to the angel, the next action the player made until the angel has decided to stop or go on in the current action.

Which number now?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

It is....

1	X	3	4	5
6	7	8	9	10

[Tatsuya Kaname]

And is it 20?

1	2	3	4	5
6	7	8	9	3
11	12	13	14	15

Hey, that's a triple!

So now, today's check value is...

$4,305

And when we come back, it's time to find out for how long will they receive this check per month!

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Welcome back!

Okay

ForWhomTheJellyRolls

#Roaring Cheerings#

YOU'RE PLAYING FOR A SET FOR LIFE, UP TO $2,066,400!

In each turn, you pick a number. Then I'll ask you if you're set on that number.
If you say yes, I'll light that number up.
If it's a white light, you'll step up one step on the money ladder.
If it's a red, you'll move down one step.

Four reds and you're dead.

Everytime you light up a white light, I'll ask you to stop. If you stop, you'll bank your check payment.

But however, ForWhomTheJellyRolls, who is your Guardian Angel, may press the stop button anytime. If he does, the result is reverted to that point. Which I will not reveal when did Jelly press the button until the game on stage is over.

Okay, let's pick your first number. You're playing for one month, $4,305.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Okay, you're standing on light #1.

Now,

You can stop. Or should we go on for 1 year, that's worth a double of what you have right now?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Okay, you're on number 14.

If it's white, you'll double your payment to 1 year. If it's red, you're back down to 1 month.

You can stop, or would you like a 2 years chance?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Number 6, you may!

So, if you get a white, you'll double the payment to 2 years, but if not, you'll half it off to 6 months.

Save The Dragons,

are you set on number 6

Do you think Jelly will stop now? And do you think that 2 years is enough for you or do you want more?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Yes, he's going on!

If you get a white, you'll add another year and make it 3 years, if not, I'll have to take away one year.

Save The Dragons,

are you set on number 11?

Now, only 4 whites remaining. But there're 2 red lights too. You may go on, and if it's a white, I'll add you another two years and make it a 5 year. But remember, 1/3 chance to get a red. Will you stop here or go on?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Wow, that's a spirit!

Now, if this is white, you'll start working on the big money. But however, what we're doing right now may be worthless if Jelly has already pressed the stop button.

But if this is red, we're in trouble.

Save The Dragons,

are you set on number 10?

It's Big Set time. Every white lights you picked up from now will add FIVE YEARS to your payment!

But the risk is getting much higher, 3 whites and 2 reds. It's a lot of money right now, remebmber, get 2 more reds and you'll end up with nothing.

So, go on or stop?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

And you scored 5 years, $258,300!

So, if you go on, what would be your next numbers?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Let's take a look at the remaining lights.

(A LOT OF GROANS)

Oh, no. You could have won 20 years!

But in the bright side, 5 years is a lot. But now, it is still not guaranteed that you win 5 years. We have to take a look at your Guardian Angel, ForWhomTheJellyRolls. Let's see what has he done through out the game.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

We'll start with your first white pick. 1 month payment. Let's see.

Let's keep it up, yo.

Okay, he continues. Then you lit up a red, and then another white, currently it's 1 month.

Let's keep going!

Good! Now you lit up another white light, making it 6 months...

Let's keep going! Woo!

He still keep going. But then, you lit up a red, then another white, it's still 6 months...

Let's get some more money, keep going!

Now you move up to 1 year, did Jelly stop here?

Let's keep going! Woo!

He still continued! Now, it's bigger money. Did Jelly stop at 2 years?

Let's keep this up. Continue!

And he still goes on!

Now, you move up to 3 years, if he didn't stop here, that means you win 5 years! So, did Jelly stop at 3 years?

Hmm the best thing to do is probably to stop here...













































NO DEAL! Let's keep going! I'm gonna be greeeeeeeeeedy!

YOU WON $4,305 EVERY MONTH FOR 5 YEARS! TOTAL WORTH $258,300, CONGRATULATIONS!

Now I have to call Jelly back [to make sure you're active]. Please welcome back, ForWhomTheJellyRolls!

Now Jelly, how are you guys going to spend this money?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

And here you go. 1st spot in the leaderboard, with $4,305 a month for 5 years, a total of $258,300!

And we'll be back for another pair soon!

[Tatsuya Kaname]

I would like the next team of puzzledan and Salamence20 confirm in this thread.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Please welcome our next Set For Life candidates, puzzledan and Salamence20!

Welcome, guys. You're here to play for up to $5,000 every month for the rest of your lives, that's up to $24,000,000!

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Whoops. Sorry. Okay, then I'll ask your opinions, would you like to keep this money, which is very high, or throw it away and start over?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Anyway, that number 6 from Set A has less money. So that's $2,125 and...

SET B: X or /

1	X	3	4	5
6	7	8	9	10

It will be multiplied! Yes!

Great job, guys. Today's monthly payment value is $10,625!

So now, we'll send puzzledan's Guardian Angel, Salamence20, to his booth! Remember, from now on, he can't see or hear anything here until the game ends, so trust in each other okay? Everyone, round of applauses to Salamence20!

*Applauses*

(Sending PT link to Salamence20. We'll continue the game when he confirmed in the thread.)

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Welcome back!

But if it's a red light, you'll fall down one step.

Four reds and you're dead.

After you lit up a white light, you may decide to stop and lock in your winnings. However, Salamence20, who is your Guardian Angel may press the stop button at anytime before the game ends. If he does, that's what you'll win, regardless of the leater outcome of the game, okay?

Now, let's play Set For Life! Pick up your first light!

[Tatsuya Kaname]

I think we need a replacement for Salamence20. Who wants to step up as a Guardian Angel for puzzledan?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

The game will continue after JDGA confirms in the PT.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

JDGA is set. So let's go.

puzzledan, you picked light #1. If it's a white light, you'll move up one step to one month. If it's a red, you'll stay here.

Are you set on Number 1?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Sorry, please be noted that I'm back to study so I may have limited access at any time.

He's going on! Alright, you're with light #5.

If you get this white, your winnings will be 6X! If not, you'll be back down to nothing.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Great! So, if this is another white, you'll go up to one year, that is more than a hundred thousand dolars!

Now, it's 1/3 chances to grab a red light, but if you get a white, you'll double your amount. So, what now?

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Sorry for the giant delay.

It's double or half. If this 15 is white, you'll double the amount, if not, you lose half of the money.

So, puzzledan,

are you set on number 15?
