WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE! Yes, I recall doing this game a long time ago, and I would like to bring it back again. I am going to play the Australian version for this game, because I find it very fun to watch. Not that the American one is great to watch, too. So, I need at three players.

So this will be an Australian version, how much will it differ from the US or UK versions?

I'll give it a try :)

Who will be spinning the wheel?

Probably the first player who eventually gets on the list. Since so many of us are signing up already, maybe he'll group us into teams, like he did in August 2005.

Anyways, the Australian version works similarly to the American one, except that amounts on the wheel aren't multiplied. I'll explain later. As for now, pick your teams, and we'll get started. Try to make it as even as possible as to keep it fair. ^___^

That is correct. No matter how many letters there are in the puzzle of that certain consonant, you will only get $500. The only way you can get more than the amount landed on is if the letter you call is painted red in the puzzle. So if you land on, say, $110, call a "K" and it turns up red, you get $220 instead. Everyone must also remember that they must make as much money as possible, because not only does the person who has the most money advance to the major prize round, their score will also have a major impact in the bonus round.

Actually, I've decided that I will just have three players at first, and then afterwards, the champion of this game will face off against the next two players who signed up, just to make things easier, as there is an unbalance of players. Sorry, guys, but I hope you can kindly wait. It's a fast-paced game, so I'm sure it'll go along quickly. So the players playing are:

1. snoz
2. Jeff
3. Al

And btw, shouldn't my $250 go away, since Al solved the puzzle?

^ Nope, in the Australian version, just because you didn't solve the puzzle, doesn't mean that your money is taken away. You need not solve any puzzle and still move on to the bonus round. It's all about the amounts that you spin. Solving a puzzle will merely lock your total in, meaning it is protected from a Bankrupt. So, if Al spun and hit Bankrupt, he would lose nothing, while you, Jeff, would lose $250 as you did not solve a puzzle, hence locking in your total. Understood? ^_____^

Anyways, Jeff is correct!

I originally submitted coffee .... then edited it to 'toffee'. But when you think about it ... well, aren't they BOTH valid answers ? Given that I don't know what you've gotten in front of you... but both fit ? Logically, toffee seemed a better answer, since coffee ... not really a recipe involved. Hmm. Maybe not the best of 'tie breakers' (when apparently more than one answer could work ? ).


In the meantime ... I have to make my own coffee, now bereft of the prize !  :\'(

True, they could potentially fit, but I was only looking for one answer.  :) Well, you could possibly win appliances (such as a coffee machine) if you make it to the major prize round.  ;)

Josh has welcomed you into the game ... so just say ... you're gonna play by the rules he's got in place ... take your turn ... like the rest of us.

I go to lots of trivias ... and compete against other teams. It really gives me the sh*ts  ... when some jerk ... shouts out the answer .. cos they want everybody to know that THEY knew that answer. Often times, these are morons ... who are useless at trivia .... but they happened to know that ONE answer .... and want some recognition. Most times, I knew the answer TOO ... and they have now assisted my opposition !  All they do is ruin it for everyone else.

^ Nope, in the Australian version, just because you didn't solve the puzzle, doesn't mean that your money is taken away. You need not solve any puzzle and still move on to the bonus round. It's all about the amounts that you spin. Solving a puzzle will merely lock your total in, meaning it is protected from a Bankrupt. So, if Al spun and hit Bankrupt, he would lose nothing, while you, Jeff, would lose $250 as you did not solve a puzzle, hence locking in your total. Understood? ^_____^

ok, I understand now, matey. O0

I only know the US version, since that's where I'm from. I learn something new every day!





Anyways, Jeff is correct!

Let's move on to our next round. It's the Mystery Round. I have two $500 spaces on the wheel. If you land on either wedge and call a correct answer, you may take the face value of $500, or flip the wedge. It could reveal Bankrupt, which is obviously not good, or it could reveal a trip to Grenada!

Thanks to Expedia.com, you will fly from Los Angeles to the lovely island nation of Grenada and spend 7 nights at the Spice Island Beach Resort. Located on the renowned Grand Anse Beach, this resort will provide everything to make your experience unforgettable. Air transportation is provided from American Airlines.

Okay Snoz, you can decide whether or not to take the $500, or risk your unlocked money at a chance for a $3,500 vacation. What's it gonna be?

woo hoo.... how about another consonant? 

Gimme an N!  ;D

Now before you call a consonant, you've gotta spin. And before you spin, you have to decide. Are you going to take the money on the Mystery Wedge, or are you going to take what's behind it? Again, it's either a Bankrupt or a $3,500 vacation.

Mystery Wedge ?

I haven't watched Wheel of Fortune in many a moon, how many rounds is it until new game?  3?  Is there a bonus round at the end of each game?

I hope these answer your question...


How many games are there pre round?

After 100 posts, we will go to our Speed Round. So, depending on how fast you guys solve, we could have many rounds.

so either Bankrupt or $3500 is behind the mystery wedge right? So how money is on the mystery wedge?  What ever I take whats on the wedge. 

It's a vacation that's behind the Mystery Wedge. And...you got it!

In the event I can't buy a vowel ... and then spin ... I will select 'P' as my consonant.  Got that, Josh ?

You can't call a vowel as a consonant, Al. However, I shall be lenient, and allow you to take the P you called. And as for vowels, you must buy them, not spin the wheel and call them.

This is the quick round you big silly!  I think you get like one guess if you are lucky enough to get a letter, else you lose your turn.  At least that is what I've kinda figured it out to be.

So ... I take it this 'blank' ... could be a phrase or something along those lines .. not necessarily relating to the concept of 'blank' (not something 'cryptic' relating to 'blank'. Well, time will tell. ) .

? DEPRESSION
? BARRIER REEF
? PRETENDER

The answer would be "great." Get it?

And as for solving the puzzle, if you think you know it, go right ahead.  :) But I'm guessing strongly you don't know it yet, so I'm just going to pass on to snoz.

BTW, Phil and Hawk, get ready. You're facing off against the champion of this game.
I am as ready as can be.

It's kinda like TriBond, the category. There are three words, and they all relate to each other by a single word. For example:

? DEPRESSION
? BARRIER REEF
? PRETENDER

The answer would be "great." Get it?

And as for solving the puzzle, if you think you know it, go right ahead.  :) But I'm guessing strongly you don't know it yet, so I'm just going to pass on to snoz.
Thanks.

The misadventurer known as HawkTheSlayer has girded up his armor, and has his puzzle-solving edge honed to razor-sharp awareness.

In other words- Yeah, I'm ready.

Sorry snoz, you've been buzzed out. Let's try and keep this game running along, guys.  :) We still have one more round to get to, not counting the Major Prize Round.

Embarrassing .... reckon there's enough letters now ... but  ...


Well, I do have a strong hunch about one of the words ... I believe there's at least one 'R' (?)

I can't tell you if there's an R, and I can't give you an R either, Al. Remember, one letter at a time, then you must solve. Snoz, on to you.

Damn ! I'd no idea THIS would occur. Obviously, I'm not well enough acquainted with the rules .... and keep learning the 'hard way' . I'm positive there's an R there .... and ... thought offering a correct letter (as in regular game ? )  would have kept my go, for another turn.

Would've taken more time, had I known ... that being right ... I STILL lose my turn !

Don't forget that this is the Speed-Up Round.  :)

Yes, it is Snoz's turn, but she hasn't been on in awhile, she has been in Arizona (I think at her parents).  I sure do miss her around here.

sorry guys I've been unable to get online at home...

thought I would get to play when I got to AZ but arrived here to more bad news.

I will check in when I can but might have to pull out of this game...more to come later.

I see now. Thanks Patty ;)

Ah. Okay, maybe I'll just skip her then. Wishing her well. I don't want to put another player in there, as it would be redundant. So, Jeff, give me a letter.

Awright, but first let's bring the puzzle board back up:

Well Josh .... I'm probably gonna blow it here ... by helping Jeff out enormously  ... but I've spent a fair bit of timing analysing this one. That FIRST word ... the way I see it .... is THE major stumbling block .... cos I'm  not convinced  ... but ... it doesn't really make ANY sense to me with any other word I've come up with  .... so ... and if I'm wrong ...


Ok. I think ....





BRAND

DAY


AFRICA 


With the connecting word being 'darkest'.  Well, this MAY not be what YOU have .... but I reckon it's a VALID solution !

'Darkest brand of sorcery / comedy' etc .... 'Darkest day' .....  and 'Darkest Africa'.



Well that's it for me !

Um, no. Sorry. That's not it.

Hi Josh, I'm here! So I can give you a letter right now without further delay:

I'm sure I've all but solved it ! It's gotta be a frustrating word .. that first one. Anyhow, I'm going for 'R', since I've let the cat out of the bag now. One day, I'll know exactly how to play this game.

WHAT !!! Not 'Africa' .... well, knock me over with a feather.  A re-think is definitely in order. However .... I have to go out now for a few hours Josh.  Probably check in in about 4 hours, if that's ok ?

By the way ... DOES THIS same word go in FRONT  of each of the 3 words (not after in one or more cases ? )

Perfectly fine. And yes, the question mark is the same word all throughout. Jeff, give a letter.

Okay, Al. In this bonus round, you are given two consonants and a vowel. For every $2,000 you scored in the main game, we'll add another consonant. With a score of $3,460, you get three consonants and one vowel. Our puzzle category for the prize round is a TITLE.

Right now, game play is normal. Spin the wheel, get a correct letter, the amount landed on is added to your score. Get a red letter, the wedge landed doubles. Solve the puzzle and lock in all your money.

It will not be added to your score; it simply is a cash bonus. And whoever solves it will not necessarily be spinning first (unless you are Hawk, then you are spinning next).

We now move into our second round. It's the mystery round! We have two $500 wedges on the wheel with a stylized question mark. If you land on any of the two wedges, you can take the face value of $500 or risk all your unlocked money for what's behind the wedge. It could be a Bankrupt, or it could be $2000 that will be added to your score, giving you an early lead! $1,500 is the top dollar amount on the wheel, and Hawk, you're spinning first. The puzzle we're chasing after is HUSBAND & WIFE.

_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / &
_ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _

HUSBAND & WIFE

We spin the wheel for you Hawk, and you land on a pleasant $230. A letter, please.

I will select "R", if you please.

We have some R's for you, Hawk.

_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / &
_ _ R _ _ _ / _ _ R _ _ 

HUSBAND & WIFE

Al: $0
Phil: $0 ($390 locked in)
Hawk: $230

You're on the board now, Hawk. Wanna buy a vowel? Or spin again? Or do you wanna pull a genius on me and solve?

Vowel- E, please.

A cost of $50 will net you just one E.

_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / &
_ _ R _ _ _ / _ _ R E _ 

HUSBAND & WIFE

Al: $0

Do you want to buy another vowel, Hawk?

Yes- A, please.

Four As might help.

_ _ _ _ / _ A _ _ _ _ / &
_ A R _ A _ / _ A R E _

HUSBAND & WIFE

Letters used: A, E, R

Al: $0
Phil: $0 ($390 locked in)
Hawk: $130

You have $130, Hawk. Would you like to spin?

Yeah, I'll spin.

You landed on $500, and it's a Mystery wedge! A letter, and if it's in there, we're going to have to decision making to do.

The letter is "N".

Four N's.

N _ _ _ / _ A N N _ N / &
_ A R _ A _ / _ A R E _ 

HUSBAND & WIFE

Now, we must decide whether to risk $130 to go for a prize of $2,500 extra to your score. Do you want to risk it? Or will you take a score of $630?

I'll take a "C".

Well, you've gotta spin first if you want that C. But even before that, I need you to decide if you're gonna take the face value of the wedge you landed on of $500, or risk your unlocked money for a chance at $2500 added to your score. Remember, behind the wedge could also be a Bankrupt.

In that case, I'll solve- Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey.

Okay, you decided not to risk your money for the wedge. But your answer is correct!

I'm back ......... for a short spell ? Maybe two  weeks, or so ?



There was an incident on this board ... that made me feel less than jocular ? I now have 3 threads ........ that I'm very unlikely to EVER post in again. I don't need it .... or THEM ......... (police, or whistle-blowers).

I just hope they stay clear of me ... leave me alone !  (Party poopers .... poop elsewhere !).

Ok.

I'm back for maybe 2 weeks ... then off to UK via Thailand ........... so ........... don't expect to see much of me for approx. 3 months ..... give or take the occasional 'guest appearance' ....... depending on my hosts generosity with their internet ?  We'll see (?)    :-\\    :-X

Oh, sorry .... by way of edit .......... just realised one of those 3 .......... I've NEVER posted in. Since I reckon the whole concept is  to be puked at ........ expect me to be THE last person to ever 'join up' ..........  ::)    :P

Glad to see you back,if only for a short time..sorry someone(s) pissed you off,we need all your wit and humor that we can get :)
Enjoy your trip,post as much as you can. :)

I'm sorry Alan, as I think I was the one that pissed you off.  It was not intentional, and I did not mean it in a confrontational way that I think you may have taken it as.  Please accept my apologies, I just didn't agree that your choice of topics for the Baker's dozen was appropriate.  I did not blow any whistle against you to the authorities of the board, I just merely asked you (in the thread) whether that was appropriate, if you might consider coming up with a different topic.  The mods did change the topic because they thought that 13 reasons to "pleasure oneself" might not be the most appropriate thing for this board.  (There *is* another board that that would go good at though if you want to know the address).

If you don't want to speak to me anymore, I will understand and steer clear of you (or any thread that you are in) out of respect for our friendship.

Sorry to interrupt your game nondiva, I just wanted to explain myself and get an idea if I were still welcome in this (or any thread) that Alan may be occupying.  :( :)

Hey Patty ... I certainly don't think it was you. The person I have in mind ... 'applauded' the person who stepped in .... a person who doesn't get applauded much. That stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I reckon that person COULD have made some noises ?    :-\\

I will NEVER post in that thread again.  We ALL wank .... well .... but we can't make a joke about it. Pathetic. But, I'm not in charge here .... so !  :P

Yeah, I'm totally aware of the 'other board'. ... which I've posted in ... nobody's there. !  :P


I just k'd you back btw ....... so ... no hard feelings between you and me !    8)    :)

Let me step in here as host. Round 3 still has $1,500 as the top dollar. However, there are two Bankrupts. All rules are as normal. Al, do you have a consonant to pick?

Wayne's in the lead with $630. However, this is a rather low scoring game. Remember guys, your score has a major impact on whether or not you can solve the puzzle. Remember, the winner gets 2 consonants and a vowel, and for every $2,000 scored in the main game, they get an extra consonant. Let's try and rack up some big cash as we head into our next round. But first we must figure out who is in control. Let's do a Flip-Up!

As for this current one ... I'll take a stab at 'Jessica Biel' ........ although whatever the surname begins with ....... I've never heard of them !

Locked in means that you have secured that money because you solved a puzzle. Therefore, a Bankrupt cannot take away that money, and it can neither be used to buy a vowel. The $0 simply means that you don't have any money that isn't locked in. So your grand total is $450. Everyone has a score of $0 because everyone solved a puzzle, and no one has unlocked money.

If the rules are all to complicated, there's always the American version I can go to. It's just as fun.

In my mind, the word preceeds means the line BEFORE whatever this puzzle is, and indeed Al did say the right line, even though you were looking for the line that comes AFTER the puzzle.

It was just a little confusing there.

I actually thought the phrase was ..... 'The road to redemption'. Yes, I'd definitely say ... a case of  .........

Egg on my face ! (?)  ^


(I just HAD to 'crack' that one !    :P    :D    ;D ).




But wait ......... all is NOT lost. You see, I've had a re-think ........ and believe I STILL know the answer. Let's see, I can buy a vowel, and solve, right ?  In that case, I'll buy an 'O' .... AND .... I reckon there are a total of 3 of THEM. One in the 3rd word ..... 2 in the final. Let's see ?

See, I have no grab on the English language. I'm such a dumbf*ck! Ugh! My (very much) bad with the definition of Next Line, Please. (screams out the f-bomb)! You're getting the $200 bonus, Al.

Al: $275 ($650 locked in)
Phil: $0 ($390 locked in)
Hawk: $0 ($630 locked in)

Meaning you're in the lead. And as for your vowels (not bowels, lol), there are three of them. You're right about where the Os are. Can you solve? Or would you like to spin up for more? I can tell you that there is a red coloured consonant in the puzzle, meaning if you call it, you'll double whatever you landed on the Wheel.

Well, that's 'O's .... ended up EXACTLY where I predicted / expected  ........... so ..... I reckon I'm on to this one ?


You also pointed out there were a couple of bankrupts.  Being a pessimist by nature ... and also being wary of 'miss a turn' etc; possibilities ........... I reckon wimping out ... taking the money and running ... is the way to go.  Well, I'm certainly no expert when it comes to the 'strategy' of this game (spin, or otherwise).  :-http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/9617/bizarromisterls6.jpg

Indeed, it is. I PM'd Josh that answer ........... hours ago !

Indeed, it is. I PM'd Josh that answer ........... hours ago !
It took me some thinking time, trying to work from the  "_ _ _' T", which had to be "don't" or "can't".

Indeed, it is. I PM'd Josh that answer ........... hours ago !


Once you'd 'scored' the 'h' ....... well, I went through the possibilities of words beginning / ending with 't/ h' ....... so .... that 'teach' word ........ was the 'key' for me. That was my approach.

It's the luck of the draw .......... in this game. Good luck !

Oh yes, I did also tell Josh ..... I'll be absent from here after the 24th of this month (in so many words) !

Well, heck!

If you two didn't want me to play, you could've just told me!  ;)

Ooh. That's a bit of rough justice there ^ ... if I do say so myself, Josh.  ::)  Well I hadn't noticed that to which you refer ...... in Phil's response. I predict he may not be happy ... but we'll see (?) (Yes, Phil ... as postwhore in chief ... is well known for occasional imprecisions here and there .... ).    :-X

I wonder if Wayne has a hope in hell of 'solving' this one !      ::)    :-X

I choose the letter "C".

I choose the letter "C".


C for 'charade'  ??? .... (f is for 'fiasco' / 'farce' !    ::)    :P    ;D  ).
