Indeed it is -- and you're one win closer to giving fellow MLP fans a ride in your Pikachu-inspired Toyota.
Car, obviously, went unclaimed. So we're loading another $25,000 onto that gas card. Five-time champion wins at least $125,000 and the car.
(audience cheers)
Listen, Steven, we still have a little time to spare. I'm curious about something. You already figured out the combinations you needed to win Super Crag -- and you won the match, probably, in record time. I honestly don't think anyone ever won two straight games in less than 13 rounds.
Had you always been good at numbers and math?

Math has always been a strong suit of mine, and I think knowing what combinations to look for, especially in the endgame, allows to to take more calculated risks than just "seeing what happens" There's another live show that a friend of yours does at conventions that tends to use similar strategies.Math has also been a help in my work in that we sell lottery tickets,and I am better able to tell someone which game has a better chance of winning. Luck, as we've seen a few moments ago also plays into the game

I think I know which live show you speak of -- because it basically inspired this series. Well, up until just a few moments ago, luck was on your side. You certainly won a lot of questions, as well. So far, it's paid off to the tune of -- $8000 plus $1000. I express Steven's running money total in those terms because I don't want that DBZ clip to run again. (scattered laughter) Steven, we will see you on our next show. For the rest of you, an audience game is coming up on Crag. Stay with us. (WGYN theme plays; audience applauds) |

We're seeking an audience game player for Crag. Who wants to play?
(I've got a busy day at the office today; earliest we'd start the game is tonight. Oh, and we're bypassing qualifying due to a bit of a time crunch. So, first one to respond to this gets to play.)

(scattered laughter from the crowd) Oh -- hi -- we're back. (more laughter from the crowd) Raymond Weaver's going to play our audience game. Raymond, please allow me a chance to explain why everyone's giddy all of a sudden. Our champion, so far, has won $9000 -- and the folks in the control room activated that DBZ clip. Said folks plus our producer had the bright idea of changing plans on our audience game. So, Raymond, you're playing... ...It's Over 9000! (audience laughs and applauds)Now -- I'll tell you how the game works in just a moment. But first, please tell us about yourself. |

There's a decent chance the Crag staff and I have had the products of your shop's labors. Now, let me tell you about the game you'll play. "It's Over 9000!" is a phrase that comes from a popular anime franchise -- "Dragon Ball Z". And a unit of currency commonly seen in the anime is Zeni. So, Matt, we're giving you a head start of... (ding)...8000 Zeni. You're objective is to take that total -- dare I say it -- over 9000. (scattered laughter from the crowd) And you do it with a maximum of three rolls of our Zeni cube. The lowest amount on the cube is 100 Zeni. The highest is 500 Zeni. If you can that pot over 9000 Zeni, then you get to trade in that money for a $4500 payoff. *However*, if you're lucky enough to add exactly 1000 Zeni to the pot, you'd have exactly 9000 Zeni -- and you may trade *that* money in -- for $9000. (audience cheers)So -- good luck and give 'em a roll.
(Raymond, number from 1-100 please, for your roll code.)

(Raymond rolls Zeni cube down ramp) (scattered applause) And you're starting off with 300 Zeni. You're 700 away from 900. You have two rolls left. Now -- you may stop here and take $1000 -- or roll again. (audience shouts suggestions) |

[NOTE FROM DOUG: We'll actually be seeing the 33rd roll in the list from Randomizer.org; we play this much like Super Crag.]
(Raymond rolls Zeni cube down ramp) (scattered cheers) And -- yeah -- needed a roll like that. 250 Zeni. You're up to 8550 Zeni. Now, we don't have a side worth exactly 450 Zeni. But, we do have one, and only one, side worth 500 Zeni -- putting you over 9000. I'll offer you -- $1500 this time to stop and forget all about this -- or take a one in six chance you can get over 9000. (audience shouts suggestions)

You "gotta go" as in take the last roll, bail out and take the $1500 or answer the call of nature?
(scattered laughter from the crowd)
If it's the last option, we can stop tape.

(mix of woos, cheers and groans from the crowd) All right -- back comes the $1500. I hope you go over 9000 with this third and final roll. (Raymond rolls Zeni cube down ramp) (loud groans from the crowd; buzzer; BB87 loss cue) Ohhhhhh! So close! 400 Zeni puts you *just* under 9000.  Well -- tell ya what -- how about I give you $100? Go out and enjoy a nice dinner on us. Give Raymond a nice hand. (audience cheers) Steven Anderson returns with exactly $9000 in cash winnings -- (pause) -- thank you, control room, for avoiding the interruption. (audience laughs) Steven will go for his second match win here on Crag. 'Til then, make it a great day, keep the faith and treasure your loved ones. (WGYN closing theme plays; audience applause)
