VGF Greed - New style, new leaderboard, and maybe the first champion - Page 8

The area with a fort called the Maritime Museum

**Wyborn** · 10-28-2007, 05:38 PM

All of these answers are accepted.

**S1x** · 10-28-2007, 10:05 PM

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

It's all in. If you have all four of them right, you have done what few teams have managed to complete. That's where we want to go... up to $1,000,000.

The largest of the Florida Keys... is correct.

The island nation whose bobsled team inspired a 1993 movie... is also correct.

The largest city in Haiti... this answer is also correct! That means only one more answer is left between you guys and the $1,000,000.

Unlike other things you've seen before, this one is a gift box for each of you. Inside each gift box is $75,000. It's quite a lot of insurance money, just in case the final answer's wrong. But, gift boxes should have at least one other little trinket in it, you know? So... you know I've mentioned my puzzles to VGF many times before, right? You should know that the next one, coming quite soon, is the Exceptional Puzzle. And maybe if you've tried my previous puzzles, you know the importance of a Bonus Image. There were a select few of these that could only be used once, and if you found them, you were allowed to skip one of my puzzle clues. Well, it's true that there will again be a very limited supply of these Bonus Images. But at this moment... there is one right in front of you.

Each of you will also get one Bonus Image to be used in my puzzle if you take the gift box.

However, as tempting as this is, keep in mind that you're only one answer away from $1,000,000. You have no idea how many things may await you if you clear this question, and then possibly the $2,000,000 question. If that last question is correct, then each of you would earn $200,000, and be just one question away from the ultimate $2,000,000 prize. If that answer is right, how will you feel if you've given away that chance? If it's wrong, what if you toss away this gift box and leave with absolutely nothing?

Now, at this point in the game, everything changes. First off, the captain no longer has any power. No more decisions are going to be made by one person that affects the entire team. This is now up to you, and only you. Individually, you will privately contact me (preferably through PM or AIM) if you are going to go for the $1,000,000, or if you are going to leave with that gift box. If some people quit and some people continue, the money that the people who left were playing for will be added to the remaining players' totals. I'll be waiting for a response from each of you.

Which four of the following eight locations are mentioned in the lyrics of the song "Kokomo"?

The Caribbean island closest to Mexico's edge

The largest city in Haiti

The city with the first Burger King

The island nation whose bobsled team inspired a 1993 movie

The South American country connected to a Central American country

The area with a fort called the Maritime Museum

The largest of the Florida Keys

**S1x** · 10-29-2007, 04:03 PM

Pix, I need your decision quickly...

**S1x** · 10-29-2007, 07:26 PM

[small error, luckily this post isn't needed anymore.

Summary: All but Captain Namechange chose to go for the $1,000,000, the answer was correct, everybody needed to decide whether to continue to $2,000,000. The category was "All science"]

Tazy_10 · 10-29-2007, 07:29 PM

Dang it, please not again

Just because I answer doesn't mean everyone must abandon me!

Microphone_Kirby · 10-29-2007, 07:36 PM

**S1x** · 10-29-2007, 07:41 PM

^ What about the we? This is your decision. PM me when you're ready. I won't be on AIM until late tonight.

It's definitely possible for one person to lock in all their answers in 10 minutes; see the previous topics. Multiple people, I don't know. It is theoretically possible.

**March of the Covenant** · 10-29-2007, 08:22 PM

When the hell did my question get answered? Haha, I'll accept.

**S1x** · 10-30-2007, 01:24 PM

Game 1
Wyborn, Panfan, UN, Microphone Kirby

Alright, I've heard from each of you, and you all chose the following:

Wyborn said he will leave with the money.

UN said she wanted to leave with the money.

Microphone Kirby said he'll leave with the money.

And finally, Panfan has decided that he'll also leave with the money.

Congratulations on a nice win for all of you! That was a very good game, with no real struggles, nobody deciding to eliminate anybody, and clearing the $1,000,000 question on Wyborn's first attempt at Greed. Very well done.

Game 1
Marchie (captain), Tazy, i_am_nobody, dux, Chunky Kong

That answer is correct. One more question before you're done with this "level", so I'll send you up to the $100,000 question.

In Final Fantasy 2/4, what pops up you try talking to the twins that turned themselves to stone?

Nothing

An item menu

A dialogue box saying "......"

A dialogue box saying "They are permanently stuck this way..."

A dialogue box with Cecil saying "I won't forget your sacrifices"

Game 2
Bartman

Chunky Kong12345 · 10-30-2007, 05:59 PM

Darn it. It's between the bottom two for me.

Tazy_10 · 10-30-2007, 06:17 PM

Hmph, I'm right though.

I am nobody · 10-30-2007, 06:25 PM

^ You can't answer again.

**March of the Covenant** · 10-30-2007, 06:51 PM

... -_-

**S1x** · 10-30-2007, 11:12 PM

Someone needs to give some answer. Remember that Marchie has the ability to change it if he wants.

dux_is_me · 10-30-2007, 11:54 PM

Well, I don't know at all.

Microphone_Kirby · 10-31-2007, 12:40 AM

I'll take an open spot in the next game as Captain.

**March of the Covenant** · 10-31-2007, 05:38 AM

Just take a stab at it someone.
