To #9821 and anyone else that might have been confused: You may post once each calendar day. Hope that clears things up!
In all fairness, I think it should be 24 hours, since "calendar day" is legitimately different everywhere. Someone could make a post at, say, 1159pm and then another one immediately at 1201am... defeating the purpose of the rule.
Hot Seat ++ (To think that if Roger introduced this game with the same rules, it would probably be more popular.)No it wouldn't. It's not a good game. Doesn't matter who introduced it.
The scores got messed up somehow. I've fixed them, and everything should be back to normal. (Credit goes to mechamind for catching this before I did. Thanks!) Carry on, y'all!
I really wish more were playing this game... mostly to help me get rid of bad games. Like Hot Seat.
75. Pick-A-NumberYou might say its number was up
I think you forgot to adjust the scores for Golden Road and Take Two. The only adjustment I see is for Freeze Frame.
How is Let 'em Roll not already gone!?! :-)
Let 'em Roll (-2)
Pocket Change (-2)
Magic # (+2)
Rest in peace, Hot Seat. You will be missed. We will avenge Five Price Tags on account of the sins committed against you.
Just kidding. But I love a little drama now and then.
3 Strikes - - Why is this game above Golden Road? It’s luck based!
3 Strikes - - (Why is this game above Golden Road? It’s luck based! Am I the only one who thinks that seeing contestants lose luxury cares via bad draws doesn’t make up for the great set and rare thrilling victories?)
And asking for the hundreds digit in a $70,000 car isn’t?I guess. I just feel there’s more of a choice and less luck in Golden Road. As I said, I do like 3 Strikes. I just think it’s a bit too high, is all.
Because it's a hell of a lot more exciting... perhaps the most exciting game on the show. It's not supposed to be won often.Fair enough. Sorry about that. ^^;
It's won a lot more often than Golden Road is!
The game with the biggest cash prize on offer bites the dust. Very interesting.It's also a bad game which lasted much longer than it should have.
It's also a bad game which lasted much longer than it should have.
It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't make it so insanely hard all the time. Then again, the contestants are playing for a big chunk of change..$100K isn't exactly insignificant.
It's also a bad game which lasted much longer than it should have.
And Squeeze Play -2 cause something’s got to balance out this incessant positivity^ This forum, in TYDR terms. :P
Okay...that wasn't my intention, but cu2010 just gave a +2 to Grocery Game instead of 3 Strikes. :lol:He finally caught on to the truth. :D
I feel like causing chaos. So, now three games are up for elimination at the exact same time!
T55. Do the Math
Also, Grocery Game is better than 5PT, so...
How the hell did the best pricing game on the show fall so far behind? Some of you guys have no taste.I mean, these are the same tasteless heathens who have deluded themselves into believing that...
You people have no taste. Five Price Tags is the perfect pricing game. It is better than literally every other game.Uh, how? I think 5PT is a Top 10 game, but goodness gracious. :-D

Website --
Unfortunately, there is no known TPIR game called "Website"; some sort of penalty should be invoked for this error :DJudging by the fact that Golden Road was at 45 in his post while being at 47 beforehand (and the fact that it’s our website’s namesake), Golden Road was the game therealcu2010 was taking about when he said "website".

Five Price Tags (-2) Does NOT deserve to be this high.You're right. It deserves to be much higher.
I must save my baby!

Withstanding the test of Time ++Let's see, you're propping up worst game and voting down best game. Good gravy, these 'hot' takes are so cold that even liquid nitrogen couldn't cool them. :-D
Also, holy crap guys. Golden Road is not the best game by a longshot. Sure, it has the fancy car, but I'd love paying the taxes on that thing :D

(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.)
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. :)
Why are you all beating up on GR all of a sudden? 😢
Been saying the same thing consistently all game. GR, while very good, is still a blind guessing game with no room for error disguised as a "pricing" game.
I concur, but, well, the idea of a luxury car at the end of a golden road that starts with a <$1 item really sells me.
Five Price Tags (-2) Should've been gone many places ago.
From now on, I'm just am going to repeat that every single time I feel like it.
You monsters are trying to kill 3 STRIKES? Have you all lost your collective minds? That's one of the greatest games on the show!
Hole in One has been hurt by hard setups and bad directing, yes. But are you all so hungry for blood you'll kill ANYTHING?

And I want to add that I was not going to eliminate Push Over; that's all on Cephas :-D
Mecha? I’ll let you do the honors. ;-)
For once, I actually agree with tpir08. You people disgust me. The most exciting game on the show ends up 20th? For shame!

Unless, that is, they agree with him.

I intentionally left the comment. It's hard to believe that many think Money Game is better than 3 Strikes...
T20. I Can Think Of A Dozen Games Worse Than Plinko That Are Still On This List (Tags Being One Of Them) And You All Should Be Doubly Ashamed
Anyone interested in keeping Money Game alive? Anyone?
Why is everyone suddenly downvoting the best game on the show?
You all already prematurely killed the most exciting... don't make me lock the thread and ban people. :lol:
Also...
Umm, no. Tags is a pure test of pricing knowledge. Plinko is pure random chance. That, and Tags can still be won when one of the SPs is incorrectly priced; the same cannot be said for Plinko. As such, the only time Plinko is actually exciting is when all five chips are won, which, since they don't know how to properly set up games half the time, isn't always the case.
The SPs aren't always 3 true and 1 false,
- 1 True, 3 False: 5 playings (6.58%)
- 2 True, 2 False: 20 playings (26.32%)
- 3 True, 1 False: 51 playings (67.11%)
Okay, somebody shrank the text for It's In The Bag a few posts back. I don't know how we should handle that, but I think it may warrant a foul.Not entirely sure how I did that...
Sent a PM to someone earlier today and the same thing happened to the entire message. As far as I know, I didn't do anything different from normal. I have a sneaking suspicion though that I might have accidentally pushed/clicked something without knowing it...in any case, though, I apologize for that.

Huh, interesting. Well, I guess the software can be weird sometimes.
So let me see...you want to put through a game in which you:
1) Automatically know that it will be the game played based on where Drew is standing;
2) Must price four SP's, guessing whether each price is true or false;
3) "Prcing" is a stretch, because you don't have to...after all, the SP's are ALWAYS 3T/1F;
4) Finally get to the main board and start selecting prices, one by one, making sure that the model doesn't reveal the actual price prematurely;
5) And in spite of all this, even if you get all four choices up for grabs, you can still lose.
I don't know if this is relevant to the tiny lettering issue, but I also had issues just reaching the site at all. I kept getting "took too long to respond" errors, errors from Simple Machines about SMF and connecting to the database, and weirdly enough, errors that said that the site "refused to connect". Only once in a while would the site actually load.
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.Am I missing something?
Am I missing something?
With that comes a rule change: From this point forward, you may only add one point per pricing game.
Allow me to reiterate the rules:
-You may post once every 24 hours.
-In each post, you may cast three votes for each of three pricing games.
-For each vote, you may:
a) Add ONLY ONE point, or,
b) Subtract one OR two points.
-Once a game loses all its points, it will go to the already-very-populated Graveyard.
You people suck. You really do. Golden Road is still far too low. Apox on your everything. :roll: :P
And the best part? There’s no “pick your favorite number” involved! (which isn’t a bad thing, a lot of my favorite games have that. But asking someone to pick the tens digit of a car isn’t really “pricing”.)
How is this a downside? This isn’t an issue for 99.9% of viewers, and I actually like knowing beforehand from little details like that. Is 10 Chances ruined by the split wall reveal?
How is this a downside? It’s a good test of pricing that’s unique to this game.
3) Guessing whether a mixer is $60 or not is a far better and more realistic test of pricing than guessing whether the tens digit in a five-figure car is a 6 or 8
Strategy (small prize portion)If you have any doubt, CHOOSE TRUE!!!!!!! Though don't forget the "all choices will not be the same" rule; at least one price will be false. But if you just choose true for everything, you're very likely to get at least 2, if not 3, picks. From seasons 40-46, here was how often different combinations of true and false came up:It was never the case that all four prices were true or all four prices were false. But choosing true for all four prizes would have gotten you at least two picks over 93% of the time.
- 1 True, 3 False: 5 playings (6.58%)
- 2 True, 2 False: 20 playings (26.32%)
- 3 True, 1 False: 51 playings (67.11%)
2) Even if you DO know the trend, that still doesn’t guarantee you’ll get all four if you don’t know your prices
At the end of the day tpir04, you have the right to your own opinion. I will say that today I rewatched five recent playings of 5PT, four with the so called "3 True, 1False Rule". I did not ace a single playing keeping that "rule" in mind. Now or Then and Ten Chances have hidden rules, doesn't necessarily take away from those games.
It's OK, for you to dislike it. I was never a fan of Plinko and the 6 Plinko show increased my dislike for it. In short I think Plinko is overhyped, has VERY little to do with pricing, is nearly impossible for it to be completely won and gives very little bang for its buck.
That's perfectly alright. I understand that there are games that two people might both enjoy, and other games that those same people might totally disagree on. That's the beauty of the Survival Games. We get to see who likes what, how many people like it, and if it is ultimately enough to withstand elimination.:D
However, gamesurf, you have caused me to look at Tags in a completely different light. While it is still not the best, in my opinion, it has moved up quite a few places in my list, and I thank you for that. 👍
Five Price Tags (-2) Seems hypocritical, doesn't it? ;):(
:D(http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5fd13UuTH1qm9dli.jpg)
:(
There’s nothing wrong with Clock Game’s new set.
If you don't want Goldy taking 9th, kill Tags first :P
I never knew we live in a world where Race Game ranks higher than Golden Road. You people disgust me.
I was also hoping Golden Road would last longer. Personally, Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is what came to mind when there were two points remaining.Same here. Sadly, the one who cruelly eliminated the best game on the show had no such respect for Golden Road. :-(
What didn't come to mind was the B-Side to that song...the (original) title for that can be used against Golden Road's downvoters. :oldlol:
I hate all of you. The best game on the show shouldn't have finished anywhere other than #1.
