PRIMETIME
WHEEL
OF
FORTUNE Going through the basic rundown: the game's rules are akin to the mid-2000s with two Toss-Ups before Rounds 1 and 4, custom wheel layouts that become richer as the game goes on, and the top prize being $100,000. Round 2 is the Jackpot Round, Round 3 is dedicated to a brand new element that has never been seen yet. Every other round is run of the mill. Finally, there will be returning champions with a five game limit. With that, I need three contestants.  |

Awesome. All deadlines in the maingame are 24 hours. Without further ado, let's begin! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *fade in, Season 24 wheel disc rotates as 'Wheel of Fortune' appears on it word by word* From Mercury Studios in Montauk, it's America's game!*cue audience enthusiasm, chanting* WHEEL!
OF!
FORTUNE! *cut to studio, cue 2000 - 2006 opening theme* And now, here is the man of the half hour, Kori Planston!*I walk into the studio waving at the audience and the cameramen, audience applauds with cheers scattered about* Hello! It's a pleasure to see you all tonight! *I arrive at the podium, audience applause gradually fades* Thank you, Vance! Alright, welcome players to our show and to those of you viewing us at home. It's an honour to have you all here with us. Like all premieres, this show should be exciting, surprising, and most importantly, fun. Now, you might notice that there's no one by the puzzleboard. That's because we couldn't sign up anyone to take the position. Which is odd, because out of 110 people, every single one broke off the contract negotiations. *audience murmurs, I pull up an index card* However, we have some temporary co-hosts waiting in the wings and today, we have a good one. Or so I've heard. She's a very successful entrepreneur who is now trying to enter the world of auto racing. From the state of Washington, please welcome... Nicole! *Nicole walks in to vast applause, cheers, a few whispers* Hi, everyone!Greetings. This is quite a stage you have here...Don't worry if you get nervous, after a couple of puzzles, you get into the rhythm of things. No, I mean it, this puzzleboard must take up half the stage!More like a tenth... counting the audience. But never mind that, we have to get the ball rolling. Contestants, grab those buzzers underneath your podiums because we're going to do a quick Toss-Up puzzle. It's worth a thousand dollars and the category is... hmm, Megaword. *puzzle chimes* __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
MEGAWORD Nicole, whenever you're ready... launch the board. *Nicole waits a few seconds to test the audience's patience, a few murmurs are heard before she taps the board* (send in a PM with a number between 1 - 50, plus the number of letters you think you need to solve the puzzle) |

Nice job, Kevin, you're on the board early on and you have the right to start the first round of play, but before we do that, let's get to know a little bit more about yourself. It says here on my card that you hail from Long Island. |

Terrific! Good luck to you as well, as we head into the game. *applause, quite few cheers* We've got nothing but money on the wheel right now, including the top dollar amount of $2,000... --> $700
--- $350
--> $2,000
--- $400
--> $650 ...but be aware that there is a destructive force on the wheel, it's called Bankrupt and if you hit that or Lose a Turn, you'll lose control of the wheel. With that, let's begin this first round. The category is On the Map. *puzzle chimes* | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |

That's a quick $750 start, and you have the option to spin, buy a vowel, or attempt a solve, with vowels costing $400 in this first round. |
