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."

The name Lucky Seven couldn't be more appropriate, as that mistake brought it into the top half after a review. It presumably would have ended up in the lower half under normal circumstances, finishing in 50th place at best.

Yeah, I looked it up and it looks like Lucky Seven was my mistake. Sorry about that, it wasn't intentional, just a random botching of the math involved.

(Also, can we have an informal agreement after this post that we don't eliminate from the top 10 games, and focus on the lower games? I understand wanting one's game to be on top, but I also don't want a game like Cover Up to win because we focused way to much on shooting each other in the head.)
"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."

You mean stop unfairly downvoting the best game on the show? Okay. Sounds good to me.

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.

Yeah, I looked it up and it looks like Lucky Seven was my mistake. Sorry about that, it wasn't intentional, just a random botching of the math involved.

Well, sorry for accusing you.  :)

(Also, can we have an informal agreement after this post that we don't eliminate from the top 10 games, and focus on the lower games? I understand wanting one's game to be on top, but I also don't want a game like Cover Up to win because we focused way to much on shooting each other in the head.)

Being as though Grocery Game is set to win, it's ok with me.  ;)

Live for the present.  Embrace the future.  Our favorite game show is still producing excellent, high quality, exciting, hour-long* shows every weekday throughout its traditional season window.  It’s as good as it’s been in a long, long time.  If the 1980s were the ‘good ole days’ for the Barker era, so is RIGHT NOW for the Carey era.  Don’t worry about what the future holds.  It will play out in due time.  Enjoy what we have right in front of us in the meantime!

Adjustments that should be made to pricing games to make them fairer: Secret X: Add a 3rd SP so that perfect pricing ensures a win. 1/2 Off: Add a 4th set of SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Master Key: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Rat Race: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win.

The following pricing games should be retired because there's no way or no easy way to make them fair: Spelling Bee, Plinko, Punch a Bunch, Pass the Buck, Let em Roll, 3 Strikes.

The following retired pricing games should be revived: $uper $aver, Give or Keep, Buy or Sell, Hurdles, Bump, Penny Ante, Credit Card, On the Spot, Split Decision, Add em Up, Walk of Fame, Barker's Markers, Magic Number.

Well, sorry for accusing you.  :)

All good. All I can do is shake my head and laugh. I'd been downvoting Lucky Seven for awhile, and I manage to bump it up like 30 places.

Talk about self defeating.
