WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!

devin has already signed up for this episode, so he will be our first contestant (assuming he still wants to play). We need 2 more contestants

Rules:

Basically, I will post a puzzle consisting of hyphens, spaces, and punctuation. Each hyphen represents a letter that is in the word or phrase. A category will be given such as "Thing", "Event", "Fictional Character", etc.

I will say which contestant is up, and she or he may spin, buy a vowel, or solve the puzzle. If you wish to spin, name a consonant (Y is always considered a consonant for the purposes of this game). I will tell you how much the spin was worth and how much you earned. For instance, if the spin is 500 and you guess T and there are 3 T's, you would get 1500 points and you can go again. If the consonant isn't in the puzzle, you don't get any points and the next contestant gets a turn.

Caboose Rule: When a contestant solves the puzzle, the turn will pass to the next contestant at the start of the next puzzle (assuming there is one).

Some special spaces are on the wheel as well:
Lose A Turn - You lose your turn, but you can keep your points.
Bankrupt - You lose your turn and all your points for that round. You keep points from previous rounds.
Free Spin - You can save this and use it at any point at which you would lose your turn. When you use the Free Spin, you must spin for a consonant, not buy a vowel or solve. When the Free Spin is taken from the wheel, it is gone and the space is just numerical.

Teyla and Madman200 Rule: The space that was formerly 2500/5000/7500/10000/12500 points has been reduced to 2000/3000/4000/5000/6000 points.

To buy a vowel (A, E, I, O, or U only), you need at least 250 points. The points are deducted from your total regardless of how many of the vowel are in the puzzle. If the vowel isn't there, you lose your turn.

If you want to solve, simply post what you think the answer to the puzzle is. If you're correct, you get to keep all your points for that round. If you had fewer than 1000, you get 1000 points instead. The other 2 contestants lose their points for that round, if they had any.

The game will go for 5 rounds normally, then there will be a 6th speed round in which I will spin the wheel once and add 1000 points to the total. All of the contestants will act in turn and guess a consonant for that amount of points or a vowel for no points. After your letter, you may solve the puzzle if you want or pass to the next contestant.

The winner will get to play a bonus round. In the bonus round, you will pick a number between 1 and 20, then select 5 consonants and 1 vowel. If you can solve the puzzle within 24 hours, I will open the numbered envelope and you will win potentially anywhere from 20000 to 100000 points.
