Deal or No Deal (ZeldaFan996's second game - End)

Ok!

7, 13, 15.

Well, let's hope you can spank the banker (no, it's not what you think it means. "Spanking the banker" means to open up boxes in a way that the highest amount remaining would have been lower than your offer during proveout. This would show that you made the right choice in dealing)!

Box 7 is first. Let's hope the $250,000 is in there.

$.01

Oh dear. You would have gotten rid of the penny there. Box 13 is next. What's in it?

$400

Well, it seems like you should have gone another round here... what's in box 15?

$75,000

All right, although the $250,000 would have still been there. The board would have looked like this:

$10
$200
$10,000
$35,000
$250,000 

You would have been made an offer of...

$32,000

Let's keep going with the last proveout round. What 3 boxes would you have chosen next?

Remaining boxes: 8, 16, 19, 22

Hmmm....

26, 19, 22.

You said 26 - there's only 22 boxes in my game. 16 is there, though, so I'll take it as that, as that's probably what you meant, and let's see what is in it.

$200

Oh boy, looks like you could have gone for big money here. 19 is next; what's in it?

$10

Yeah, you should have the guts to go on, all right. Finally, box 22. Let's hope the $250,000 is inside of it, as you might have made a good deal, then.

$10,000

Oh no! If you had taken that out while still in the game, you would have won no less than $35,000! In addition, the banker offer would have been...

$115,000

Wow, talk about what would have been a big banker offer! Now comes the big finale - we have to open your box 18. There's going to be either $35,000 or $250,000 in it. In it is...








$250,000    

Oh my... this was the first game, and you had the top prize all along in your box! The banker beat you there big time, ZeldaFan. Well, you still leave us with $28,996, and our thanks for being the first player. If anyone else wants to play a second game, just feel free to make a post and I'll be happy to do one for you.

Wow!  Didn't think that was going to happen...

Ah, well, I can still buy plenty of stuff with $28,000.  I'm pretty content to have that much.

Things have been quiet here lately, so anyone other than ZeldaFan want a game? It's been a few weeks since I've hosted one.

You know me too well .  Of course I'd do it again if you offered.

No one else other than ZeldaFan is interested, it seems. Well, I'll let him play again if he wants to. If anyone else is interested, though, and you post before ZeldaFan, I'll play a game for you before ZeldaFan's second game.

I'll do it.

Great to see another person do this! I'll start now.

22 boxes. A quarter of a million dollars. Just one question: Deal... or No Deal?

Hello everyone, and welcome to the second game of Deal or No Deal. Last time, despite selling the $250,000 box, ZeldaFan996 still walked away with a fine total of $28,996. This time around, we have a new contestant - Taidow! Welcome to the Dream Factory, Taidow. You're sitting at our pound table, facing 22 boxes which have 22 different amounts of money ranging from one penny to $250,000. Let's take a look at the board.

$.01
$1
$5
$10
$50
$100
$200
$300
$400
$500
$750
$1,000
$3,000
$5,000
$10,000
$15,000
$25,000
$35,000
$50,000
$75,000
$100,000
$250,000

The blue amounts are the ones you want to eliminate, while the reds are the ones you want to keep in play. You especially want to keep the Power 5 in play, which are the five highest amounts on the board. Choose your box, Taidow (a number between 1 and 22, to be specific).

10.

10 is yours. To start, I need 5 boxes from you.

3, 11, 17, 21, 7

All right then, let's get started with box 3. In it is...

$50

Yes! Now that's how we like to start things off! Next off is box 11. I hope we'll get another low blue in there. Open the box.

$.01

You won't be the founding member of the penny club! Great job! 17 is up next. What's in it, please?

$35,000

Ooh, that's a bit of hit there. You still have 4 bigger amounts left in play, though. Moving on to box 21 now. Make it blue and make it low.

$400

Wonderful! Finally, we come to box 7. Let's hope it's lucky for you. 

$300

Another blue! Well, other than the $35,000, this was a great round for you. Let's take a look at the board as it stands.

$1
$5
$10
$100
$200
$500
$750
$1,000
$3,000
$5,000
$10,000
$15,000
$25,000
$50,000
$75,000
$100,000
$250,000

Now we have to see what the banker has to say about this.

(phone rings while set turns red)

*picks up phone* Hello? Well, all right, thank you.

(Banker offer in next post. The offer will be calculated in the mean time)

Well Taidow, the banker didn't like that round (even though we did, of course). He didn't like that you only hit one red that round. Therefore, he's starting off with this offer:

$11,000

Deal or No Deal, Taidow? If you say No Deal, it's 3 boxes from here on out.

No deal.

Okay then, 3 boxes, please.

Remaining boxes: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22

4, 19, 18

Starting with box four. I hope we can see a blue in there.

$10

And we do! Great pick! Next is box 19. What's in it?

$5,000

Not bad, it's a low red. Last is 18, and let's hope there's something low in it.

$200

Wonderful!  

Let's take a look at the board at this point.

$1
$5
$100
$500
$750
$1,000
$3,000
$10,000
$15,000
$25,000
$50,000
$75,000
$100,000
$250,000

You're doing great so far, Taidow. What will the banker have to say about that?

(phone rings while set turns red)

*picks up phone* Hello? All right, thank you, Mr. Banker.

(Banker offer in next post. The offer will be calculated in the mean time)

Well Taidow, the banker is starting to get nervous here. You had an even better round than last time, and he hopes he can get you out for...

$16,666.66

First time he's offered an amount with cents in it. Deal or No Deal, Taidow?

No Deal.

3 more boxes, please.

Remaining boxes: 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 22

1, 5, 15

Box 1 is first, and let's see what it holds.

$25,000

You still have 4 of the Power 5 in play, so it's not the biggest hit. Let's see what's inside box number five now.

$100

That's what we like to see! Finally, it's box 15, and I hope we see a blue in it.

$1,000

Not a blue, but I'd say this is an honorary blue, because it's the lowest red on the board. Let's see what the board looks like now.

$1
$5
$500
$750
$3,000
$10,000
$15,000
$50,000
$75,000
$100,000
$250,000

It's been 3 rounds, and you still have four of the Power 5 in play, just like ZeldaFan at this point. That's a great thing.

(phone rings while set turns red)

Banker time again, Taidow. Let's hear what he has to say now.

*picks up phone* Hello? Mr. Banker, I know you don't like that, but that's how things go sometimes. What's the offer? That's it, huh? I'll relay it to him.

(Banker offer in next post. The offer will be calculated in the mean time)

All right, Taidow, the Banker doesn't like how you're the second contestant in a row to keep 4 of the Power 5 in play after three rounds. Of course, we like it. He's offering you this:

$20,000

Deal or No Deal, Taidow?
