And here we are in the Showcase Showdown with the contestants from the first half of the show! Illumina's big win on Any Number has earned her the right to spin last, while Rick, who came *so close* in Grand Game, will spin first.

The rules of the Showcase Showdown are simple: the one who gets closest to $1.00 without going over in one or a combination of two spins will be in the Showcase at the end of the show. If you hit $1.00 exactly, you'll win $1,000, and will get a bonus spin at the end of the round, in which you can win $5,000 or even $10,000 more! $5,000 for hitting a "green section" (5 or 15), and $10,000 for hitting $1.00 again.

(How I'll be handling this will be on IRC via a bot; I'll make sure Terra is present while I'm doing these random "rolls", so nobody can accuse me of cheating. It's not the ideal method, but it's about all I can do. )

Rick's first spin is... 10 cents. I'm assuming you wish to spin again?

Just for information, what happens on Golden-Road.net is that the user picks two numbers between 1 and 20, and each of these corresponds to a random spot on the Big Wheel.

Oh yeah, most definitely spin again.

Now watch it be $0.95 or $1.00.

Your second spin got you 75 cents, for a total of 85! Not bad!

Ketsuban's first spin was 60 cents, followed by 50 cents. Too much.

Illumina spun 20, then 70, for a total of 90. So she'll go to the Showcase.

...yeah, this Showcase Showdown setup sucks, but it's a relatively minor thing, and there's nothing particularly novel I can do with the concept unless someone wants to write a simple script for it or something. The pricing games are the meat of "Jul TPiR" anyhow, so... yeah.

At any rate... Ayjo, we need another contestant.

And the lovely Unnamed Model #3 is bringing out our next item up for bids!

And let the bidding begin! Terra first, then Anya, Orlandu, and Auxiliatrix.

(Again, sorry for the crappy Showcase Showdown. We'll try to have something interactive worked out for the next episode.)

Ooh, pretty necklace!

Does Unnamed Model #3 have hot short hair?

I'll go with $1250.

And the actual retail price of that necklace... $1,525! Auxiliatrix, you're the winner! Come on up here... and follow me back to the big doors... and Ayjo, show her what she can win!

Ayjo: Four prizes for the dedicated gamer! First, a collection of game systems! An XBox 360, a Playstation 3, a Wii, and loads of games for each. Like, ten or so. Probably all licensed crap, because god forbid we should give away anything *nice*.

Next, a pool table! This is for one of those *high class* gamers who wouldn't be caught dead playing something as *low-class* as a video game. It's one of those *red* ones, so you *know* it's fancy! Comes with a pair of cue sticks, ten balls, and yes, even a cue ball.

Third, a fun pinball table! It's based on a movie about pinball. So, yes, it's a pinball game based on a movie based on a pinball game. Whatever. It looks pretty fun, anyhow. I always wanted a pinball table...

Finally, an arcade machine, containing three classic games: Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and Space Invaders! Note that "classic" means "old", not necessarily "good". But hey, if you like the games, and a lot of people do, more power to you. I never saw the appeal, myself. Back to you, YK!






And, we're going to play Danger Price. The object of this game is to pick prizes whose prices are *not* the same as the Danger Price, which today is $2,550. If you can pick all three prizes which are not $2,550, you win everything! So, which prize are you going to start with?

The pinball table is $4,125. Another safe pick. Now, if you can choose the one remaining prize that's not $2,550, you're a winner!

All right... if those games are anything but $2,550, you're a winner!





*losing horns*

Oh no!





...you should have gone with the arcade machine... I'm sorry, Auxiliatrix, but you'll be back later to spin the big wheel!

For now, Ayjo. Who's our next contestant?

And show everyone our next item up for bids!

Originally posted by Ayjo
Ayjo: It's fabulous (?) dinnerware! Yes, the old Price standby: A set of plates, saucers, and cups for eight. At least these ones have non-tacky designs.


All right, Imajin bids first, then Terra, Anya, and Orlandu.

And the actual retail price of that dinnerware is... $985! Anya is the winner! Come on up here on stage, and let's not waste any time! Ayjo, tell her what she can win!

Ayjo: A new car! It's a Pontiac something-or-other with four doors, anti-lock brakes, power steering, and lots of other car jargon included!






And your game is Pathfinder. We'll give you the first digit for free, but the rest is up to you.





It's a 1. Now, you're standing on the square in the center of the Pathfinder grid. The second digit is either the 9 above you, the 8 to your right, the 5 below you, or the 2 on your left. Step to (pick) the number you believe is the second digit in the price of that automobile. If you're right, the game continues. If not, you can win another chance by correctly guessing the price of one of these three prices. Ayjo?

Second, a stack of notebooks, which are absolutely ideal for writing stuff down in! And they come with covers in many different colors!

Finally, a copy of Super Ultra Omega Hyper Street Fighter 2 Turbo Pro Gold Edition III for the ... wait, what system is this for again?


All right, Anya... what number do you believe is the second digit of that car?
