End of Fireball's Episode 6

[BRB_TheFireball]

Phone the neighbors, wake the kids, my oh my!  It's time for another exciting episode of "The Price Is Right" hosted by Golden-Road.net's resident Christian gangsta.  

Ya'll know the basic rules to my games:

1.  Deadlines to bid, play your PG, or spin is 48 hours.  Miss your deadline and you're out.
2.  I'll PM all contestants that are called to come on down.  From then on, it's your responsibility to watch this thread.
3.  Audience participation (i.e., yelling out prices and other suggestions) is strongly encouraged.
4.  Have fun!

We're gonna switch it up for Episode 6.  For the last 5 shows, I've picked the lineups.  This time, ya'll will pick the lineup!  We will play 4 current games, 1 retired game, and 1 original game.  The games that we play will be determined by those who sign up for this game.  As an added bonus, the Showcase round will be a Do-It-Yourself.

Instead of the usual "I'll play", "Count me in", or the like, your replies will have three lists of 5 pricing games each:

List A--List 5 CURRENT pricing games that you would most like to see in Episode 6.

List B--List 5 RETIRED pricing games that you would most like to see in Episode 6.

List C--List 5 ORIGINAL pricing games that you would most like to see in Episode 6.
**Original PGs are defined as any pricing game created by a member of Golden-Road.net and has seen at least one playing in an online game of "The Price Is Right".  Since Jay Lewis is also a member of Golden-Road.net, any original PG that has appeared on his "Net Price Is Right" is allowed on your list.
**Here is the list of original PGs to choose from:  All-New Superball!!, Anvil Drop, Cash Cards, Drop That Decimal!, Elimination, Front or Back, Full Circle, Hat Trick, It's Your Bet, Just Right, Knockout, Level Up, Mastermind, On Target, One For All, Overlap, Point Blank, Priceword, Pyramid Scheme, Rotate?, Stamp Out, and This Way & That

You may include in your lists pricing games that have already been played on previous episodes of "Fireball's Price Is Right".

The deadline to sign up for this game will be Saturday, June 10, at about 7 PM Eastern.  Once the deadline passes, I will add up the votes.  The 4 current games, 1 retired game, and 1 original game that receive the most votes will form the Episode 6 lineup.

Good luck to everybody!

We still have 3 days left for anybody else to sign up and make their votes on what they want to see in Episode 6.

As it stands right now, it's clear what 5 of the 6 pricing games will be; however, in the "current PGs" list, we have a 6-way tie for that final slot.  I should've mentioned something before about what happens in the case of one or more ties.  If the deadline passes and more than 4 games appear at the top of the current list or more than 1 game appears at the top of the retired or original lists, we will go to a series of tiebreakers until a definitive list of 6 games is reached.

Let's use the following example:

Current list (4 games):
Plinko - 7 (IN)
Any Number - 6 (IN)
Grocery Game - 5 (IN)
Balance Game - 4
Danger Price - 4
Golden Road - 4
Hit Me - 4
Switcheroo - 4

Retired list (1 game):
Walk of Fame - 7 (IN)

Original list (1 game):
Pyramid Scheme - 7 (IN)

We need to break the tie among Balance, Danger, Golden, Hit, and Roo.

Tiebreaker #1:  Any tied game that was played on a previous episode of Fireball's PIR will be cut.

Golden was played on Episode 3, so it's gone.

Even though Plinko was played on Episode 2, it's not gone cuz it was not tied with another game in the current list.

Tiebreaker #2:  Any tied game that conflicts with a non-tied game will be cut.  Conflicts refer to lineups that include:

A. Two or more cash games
B. Two or more small-prize games
C. Two or more grocery product games
D. Two or more multi-prize games
E. Two or more timed games
F. Three or more car games

Danger is cut cuz it violates D (via Walk).  Hit is cut cuz it violates C (via Grocery).  Roo is cut cuz it violates B (via Plinko) and F (via Any and Pyramid).  That leaves Balance to round out the lineup.

Even though Plinko and Pyramid conflict each other (they're both SP games), Pyramid is also not eliminated cuz it was not tied with another game in the original list.

If there is still a tie after these two tiebreakers, I will pick the tied game(s) that will be played.
