I am nobody · 10-09-2007, 08:28 AM

I join team two.

**Wyborn** · 10-09-2007, 09:27 AM

Reject translucent; the answer is opaque.

**S1x** · 10-09-2007, 04:42 PM

Eh, he's a new player, so he's still learning the flow of this. The unwritten rule is that you can make subtle signals of approval or uneasiness, but you shouldn't go any further than that until the final answer(s) is locked in.

Game 1
Wyborn (captain), Panfan, Captain Namechange, UN, Microphone Kirby

You are correct. We're now going for $50,000, and you're 7 questions away from $2,000,000. Keep it going. Since UN answered the previous question, she can't give an answer to this one.

The basic flavor of Pepperidge Farm's "Goldfishes" are what?

Sweet

Spicy

Fruity

Cheesy

Game 2
Chunky Kong (captain), Marchie, i_am_nobody

PF believes in H. Dent · 10-09-2007, 04:51 PM

Cheesy.

**Wyborn** · 10-09-2007, 05:06 PM

Accepted.

**S1x** · 10-09-2007, 06:05 PM

Game 1
Wyborn (captain), Panfan, Captain Namechange, UN, Microphone Kirby

Correct again; you're going through this pretty quickly now. On to the next question worth $75,000, and remember that Panfan cannot answer this one.

If I disagree with the given answer, can I provide the alternative or do I need to wait?

**S1x** · 10-09-2007, 06:13 PM

Hm?

If I interpreted your question right, when a teammate gives an answer, you decide whether to accept that answer, or change that answer to something else. Either way, that will be the final answer and I'll reveal if you're right as soon as I can.

**S1x** · 10-09-2007, 10:42 PM

Hey, if another two people join, I'll be able to do two games at a time. I haven't been able to do that in Greed for a really long time.

Game 1
Wyborn (captain), Panfan, Captain Namechange, UN, Microphone Kirby

Wyborn, do you accept this answer, or do you want to change it to something else?

I'll agree with him.

Game 1
Wyborn (captain), Panfan, Captain Namechange, UN, Microphone Kirby

Not only are you correct, but Microphone Kirby seemed real enthusiastic about that answer for some reason.

He can't provide an answer to the $100k question, to remind you. Now, the first team lost at this question, and I hope that doesn't repeat itself here. Good luck on this next one.

Shown on TV quite recently, one of Merv Griffin's final game show creations involves what kind of activity?

Tic-tac-toe

Darts

Crosswords.

**Wyborn** · 10-11-2007, 03:19 AM

I don't know anything about Merv Griffin; I'll agree with Panfan.

**S1x** · 10-11-2007, 03:49 AM

Game 1
Wyborn (captain), Panfan, Captain Namechange, UN, Microphone Kirby

You're correct one more time, and your team now has $100,000.

Each member can take away $20,000 right now if you choose to stop. As you can see, nobody has any scores yet, so that could be a very good start. However, also keep in mind that this team is only 4 questions away from $2,000,000. Next is the $200,000 question, and keep in mind that the questions are going to be slightly different. Each one is going to have four correct answers, and will depend on your entire team to clear it. So, Wyborn, you're the one that has to make the decision whether to keep going or not. I'll also give you the category for the next question: Grammar. So, do you want to quit with $100,000, or do you feel the need for Greed? (Other team members can say what they want the captain to do, but only the captain's call matters.)

**Wyborn** · 10-11-2007, 04:04 AM

We're going for it, let's go.

**S1x** · 10-11-2007, 04:45 AM

Game 1
Wyborn (captain), Panfan, Captain Namechange, UN, Microphone Kirby

The terminator has been activated!

New players may be wondering, what exactly does this Terminator do? It can do many things to alter this game around. First, it randomly picks one member from this team, and gives them the opportunity to challenge whatever teammate they choose to a simple showdown. One simple question is asked, and the first one to answer correctly eliminates the other player from the game and takes their share of the money. In this case, that person would be playing for $80,000 instead of $40,000. This has several motivations to it... a player may dislike another person, be afraid that they won't get the next question(s) right, or they could notice that a teammate hasn't been active and choose to eliminate them before they cost the team the game due to no response. Some people may even want to take the position of "captain" as their own... And if those weren't enough reasons, if the player selected does challenge somebody, they will instantly claim $10,000 no matter what happens.

With all that explained, it's time for the terminator to select somebody. This time it has chosen... UN.

So, UN, you're one of the people that has experienced this a few times already. Is there anybody on this team that you are going to challenge for their money? If so, you'll get $10,000, win or lose...

User Name · 10-11-2007, 08:43 PM

Well, I think I'm with a really smart group, they're all active. The only one I dislike is obviously Pix, but I think he could beat me in a challenge. Plus, I'm fairly confident I'll help with the next question, so I'm choosing to NOT challenge anyone.

PF believes in H. Dent · 10-11-2007, 08:47 PM

UN? Getting a grammar question correct? The very idea is absurd.
