1/4/13 -- RESULTS
« on: January 04, 2013, 02:03:28 PM »
What a way to start 2013.  Three shows this week gave away over $100,000... and one of those days just happened to end with a DSW bid, doubling that day's total.  And in case you don't remember one of the official FPG rules, I added last week's totals to this week's total since I canceled last week's FPG for vacation.  We needed $77,425 to be won on today's show for our first 2013 pot to total $1,000,000.  We fell a few thousand dollars short... but one person did make a million this week because there were some Play-Along bucks on the line as well.

And with nearly a million dollars in the pot, I'll give everybody one guess as to who placed dead last.  I knew my last two FPG scores were just flukes.  At least my smart PA picks got me up to the 17th biggest cash total of the week.  Woo!

Let's get to some results now.  Our third place player scored 6 MP/20 CP with picks of Pushy (wS/rR), Plinko (wS/rR), and ME (wS/rR).  He's been in the top three a couple of times already this season, and he's done it again, so he's definitely not a fluke... ShatterMySoul99!

Our runner-up has been in the middle all season, but finally breaks out with a score of 6 MP/25 CP on picks of Pushy (rS/rR) and Bully (rS/wR).  It's our old friend Flerbert419!

And our runaway winner had a successful ALL-IN bet on the PA bonus, which was more than enough money to make him the first person this season to earn $1M in one game.  With Pushy (rS/rR), Plinko (wS/rR), and Bully (wS/wR) for a score of 7 MP/28 CP...

























another stellar week for Kev347!

See everybody next week!

*=88JRFAN won the tiebreaker for slotting Bullseye in the correct half, but it hardly mattered here since he and Punchboard91 will receive the same amount of FPG monies and points.
Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

Nothing like a last second Bullseye for a car suckout :)

FPG is much harder when games that shouldn't be on one week suddenly can be, awkward slotting is the norm, and non-cars for cars are being tried with everything.
S5x... the show's stabilized into something decent now, I guess...
