It's back! The first annual PG Survival Game!
« on: July 02, 2019, 05:05:52 PM »
Yes, ladies and gents, welcome back to our first annual Summertime Price is Right Pricing Games Survival Competition (or the SPiRPGSC, for short...not exactly an improvement). Anyways, it's been 11 years since we had one of these, so we have a few new arrivals in Pay the Rent, Double Cross, Do the Math, Time is Money, Vendoprice, Hot Seat and Gridlock! (round of applause) Let's kick it off!

First some ground rules:
     -One post, per person, per day.
     -In each post, you are allowed to cast three votes, one vote for each of three pricing games.
     -For each vote, you may add or subtract one or two points.
     -When a pricing game loses all its points, it will go to the Pricing Game graveyard, gone forever. (Or at least until next summer.)
     -Once 40 of the 77 pricing games are eliminated, you may cast three votes, but may add or subtract only one point (not two) for each vote. Once we get down to the top ten, you may cast only one vote per post, adding or subtracting one point only.

The pricing games are listed below. Fire away!

Mild correction, to clarify the rules of the old game: after 40 games are gone, you can still remove two points, but can only add one.

Also, to all players- please reorder the list after making your votes. This makes it easier for everyone to see where all of the games are. Thanks! I also slightly tweaked the formatting of your list so we don't have to worry about disabling smilies in every post.

Anyways...

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Rat Race ++ (Let's bring a good game from the Drew era up)
Double Prices -- (Eh quickie, definitely did not need that repaint)
Hot Seat -- (For newer games, at least Gridlock ends quickly, and Renty is for $100,000. Hot Seat doesn't deserve a segment as long as a 3 Strikes playing for only $20,000.)

"If any show, forget sports, Price is Right, [the audience is] the star of the show. Somebody... coming on down and losing their minds, and ... crying, that's the show. The show isn't me, the show isn't necessarily [a] can of soup, how much that is, it's watching people go bananas, and there's going to be some of that missing."

Any # ++ (My favorite pricing game. Simple, yet complex, and it was the perfect start to this amazing show.
Check Game -- (Too small of a range, not enough variation in prizes.)
Time is Money -- (Such a strange game, and 10 seconds to put 6 groceries in 3 places is not enough time, imo. At least give them 15 seconds, or put the groceries closer to the pedestals.)

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

Quote from: Bill Todman
"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Huh, the rules don't state "24 hours". Alright then.

Time Is Money ++ (It's in the better half of current Price games. I wouldn't say close to the best, but it never should have stooped as low as Gridlock!)
On that tangent, Gridlock! -- (I don't think it is the worst game on the show, but I would say that it is the most "broken", since the presentation is still so clunky after 2 seasons for a quickie, and the set is cute, but not amazing. It's pretty bad that it also took around 2 months for it to show up this season, with the only other pricing game in airing order going longer being 10 Chances.)
Eazy as 1-2-3 -- (We already have Most Expensive. Does it really need to be slightly harder for game variation?)
