Very good!
So, we can see Golden Balls with cash & KILLERs. But this is not about what you KNOW, it's about who you can BELIEVE and WHO YOU CAN TRUST.
Your overall job here is to eliminate the player who is holding (a) the least value in Cash Balls and/or (b) the most KILLER Balls. That may or may NOT be the same player.
I'm going to ask you now to tell us what balls are on your back row. Feel free to be as honest or deceptive as you wish, but be careful, because you must be as BELIEVEABLE as possible as well. Remember, one of you is going to be eliminated from play and their Balls are going to be TRASHED.
I'll give you 48 hours from when I post this message to post your most convincing arguments that you have a lot of money on your back row. We KNOW at this point who has what KILLERs, as all four are already showing, so no point in trying to deny that.
So you have until 7:40 PM on Sunday, May 29, 2022 to convince your fellow players that you deserve to stay on! Good luck to you all!

I guess I will start first. As the person with the highest value in Front balls, I have better news for you. The back balls I have are even heavier that my front balls. The two balls are really heavy, one is $22,500 and the other is over 10 times that the biggest ball of them all. $250,000. I also have no killers to deal with as well. If you want to make a fortune, please keep me in the game.

I'll go next. The only Killer you saw from me is already showing. We all want to win lots of money, and it's beneficial that I stay because I won't bring this party down.

And time is up. Seems only PF and Kevin offered any reasons to keep themselves on. Now we see if they worked.
Now you have to decide...Which of your opponents do you want to eliminate? PM me with their name. You have 24 Hours to PM me, or your vote will be randomly determined through a RANDOM.ORG draw.
So you have until 7:30PM EDT on Tuesday, May 31, 2022 to respond.

Again, I apologize for unforeseen delays. Welcome back to GOLDEN BALLS! Our player have sent their votes, and I have them on the cards in front of me here... I'll reveal these cards one at a time, and whoever has received the MOST votes will be eliminated from play and their balls will be taken out of play, or as we call it...TRASHED. The first vote is for... ... BABYTIMS. The second vote for elimination goes to... ... PATHFINDER. Interesting... The THIRD vote is for... ... PATHFINDER again! And the final vote is for... ... ... ... ...PATHFINDER!
This is an absolute SHOCK! Seeing as how Tims had two of the four KILLERs and PF said he had two Big Money balls, including the $250K. I guess they didn't believe you, PF! What do you have to say about that?

I am saddened, shocked, and confused. I am confused because I though we are trying to make as much money as possible. I am shocked you are willing to keep four KILLERS in play instead of keeping me in play. I am saddened that I will no longer be in the game and that you didn’t believe me when I said that I had the $250,000 ball in play. I had nothing to gain to lie you all. I guess that is just how the ball bounces.

Indeed...and just to prove he WASN'T lying, here was his full rack of balls: Y'all have lost out on a potential partial prize of $294,500. AND you've kept ALL 4 KILLER BALLS IN PLAY.Well, having vented on that, let's see what balls you three actually have to contribute to the continuing play here. First, let's see what BabyTims had BESIDES 2 KILLERs... Only $30,500... Is Nelson's rack any better? Considerably! A total of $128,000! And Kevin claimed it would be "beneficial" for him to stay in. So how much of a "benefit" is his rack? Hmmm...about $17,100 of "benefits". Well, overall, that round COULD have gone better. But you are still bringing forward $175,600 in cash balls and, as I stated before, ALL FOUR KILLERS. And sadly, we have to say goodbye to Pathfinder. PF, your balls will be TRASHED and you must say goodbye to us. Sad to see you go, and good luck in your future endeavors! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So we still have BabyTims, Nelson & Kevin in the game. And we have all 12 of the balls from round 1 in play. They return to the mixer, and we'll restart the Golden Bank... ...and have it dispense two NEW Cash Balls! Those will be added to the mix, but so will one more KILLER Ball! 15 Total Balls in the mix now, 10 of them with cash and FIVE KILLERs. Let's re-distribute them to the players at 5 balls each... ...and get them on the racks, with 2 of the balls each in front as before, but now we have THREE balls each hidden on the back rows! We'll start up the play for Round 2 of out game after this (hopefully) quick break! Don't go away! [[FADE TO BLACK...]]
[[COMMERCIAL BREAK]]

[[FADE IN FROM COMMERCIALS...]] Welcome back to GOLDEN BALLS! We now start Round 2 with our three remaining players and their racks of 5 Balls each, in which there are 10 Cash Balls and 5 KILLER Balls in the mix. BabyTims, by all rights, you probably should not be here at this point. Yet you and the others decided to vote Pathfinder off. How do you feel at this point?

Well, we'll see. Let's see how RANDOM.ORG treated you as we see your front 2 Balls... And AGAIN, you show TWO KILLER BALLS up front! To be fair, I ran the randomized list of balls through RANDOM.ORG TEN TIMES, and still your first two were KILLERs! I guess the randomizer doesn't like you very much! Nelson, you actually brought the most money through from the first round. I say brought THROUGH, as you and the others voted out the player with the BIG money. What's your feelings at this point?

That IS what I suggested at the beginning of all this! Glad it's starting to sink in! In the meantime, let's check out your rack and the front 2 balls you have! Coming in quite strong this time, with $87,000 showing up front! But what have you got hiding in the back 3? We'll see in a few moments... Finally, Kevin aka KOOPAKID, I'm interested in your mindset at this junction as well! What made you decide to kick out Pathfinder instead of Tims, and what's your hopes for this round?

I was thinking along the same lines as Nels. Since he didn't have any killers showing, I thought he had less money.

So the trust level was low from the beginning! VERY interesting! Let's see if and how much that changes in this round as we see what's in YOUR front row! Well, you start off somewhat similarly to Round One, but with a $4,000 improvement to $18,500 and a KILLER Ball up front. There are six of the fifteen balls in play, leaving NINE of them in question. Players, I'll now PM you each the images of the three balls on your back rows. Remember: Of these fifteen balls, only 10 of them--and only TWO of you--will proceed to our next rounds of play. Please check your PMs and let me know when you receive your rack images!

Oh dear. Sorry to hear that.
So now that everyone knows what’s on their rack, it’s time once again to make your cases as to why you should be going on to our next round and getting one step closer to the big money.
The three of you will have until 9:45 AM EDT on Monday, June 20, 2022 to post what you may OR MAY NOT have on your back racks. Remember that we only have THREE of the five KILLER Balls in view, so there are still two of them hidden on the back racks! If you have any of them, you want to convince the other two that you don’t. And if you have a decent amount of Cash Balls, you want to convince the other two of your worth.
Good luck all! See you Monday morning!

I’m gonna level again with everybody. I may have one Killer, but I can assure you it’s the only one I have. I can benefit everyone this time around. The odds are in my favor this time.

Well, looks like Kevin was the only one to put forth an argument to stay in play. So be it.
So once again, it's time to make your decisions as to who stays and WHO GOES. Please PM the name of the player you wish to eliminate. Again, you have 24 hours from when this message is posted, which will be 10:35PM EDT on Tuesday, June 21, 2022.
Players, PM me your votes NOW!

And the votes are in! Let's see who WON'T be going on to the TRASH OR CASH Round... The first vote is for... ... BABYTIMS. The second vote is for... ... NELSON. If the third vote is for Kevin, we'll need to hold a re-vote. Otherwise, we'll have our second elimination. Let's see... The third and final vote is for... ...BABYTIMS.Perhaps not terribly surprising. Immanuel, what are your feelings about this elimination?

Well, you were already showing two KILLERs. What were you hiding on your back row? Well, actually that's GOOD for our two remaining players...you had THREE KILLERs and only $24,500 in Cash Balls. But did you somehow still have a decent amount of cash compared to the others? Let's see what Nelson--who obviously got your vote, Tims--has besides the $87K he has showing: Well, he had the FIFTH KILLER, but overall, he also has $111,600 in Cash Balls. And Kevin, what were you hiding in back? Obviously, all Cash Balls there, bringing your cash total to $62,500. SO Nelson & Kevin, you two will be moving on and only bringing TWO KILLER Balls through to the next round. Immanuel, it was nice having you here, but unfortunately both you AND your Balls have to be TRASHED. So long... =================================================================================================================== We're down to two players and the point where we see how much cash they can potentially win. It's the... TRASH OR CASH ROUND...coming up after this break! Stay with us![[FADE TO BLACK...]] [[COMMERCIAL BREAK]]

[[FADE IN FROM COMMERCIALS...]]
Welcome back to GOLDEN BALLS! Immanuel, aka BABYTIMS, has left us, and that leaves us with Nelson and Kevin (aka KoopaKid) still in it to win it. We'll take their ten remaining balls and put them back into the mixer. But we're not making it just THAT simple. We're going to add one last KILLER ball into the mix! We'll now mix those eleven balls and drain them into this tube... And they'll now go onto our End Game stand, where we place and number them in the order in which they fell into the tube. It's now time to play... TRASH OR CASH!Players, I will tell you that besides having THREE KILLER Balls in the mix... ...the top 5 valued balls you have brought forward are: $14,500, $18,500, $23,500, $28,000 & $80,000,which makes for a top potential Jackpot value of... $164,500!But what the actual total Jackpot will be is now up to the two of you. You will need to act as a team to get those big value balls up to one of the "Golden Five" stands at the top of the screen. You'll do that by playing TRASH OR CASH!Nelson, you brought the higher value in Cash Balls through to this round, so you'll start us off, taking the first of five total turns between the two of you. On each turn, the player in control will select one ball on the stand here to TRASH, i.e. take out of play. You will then choose one of the remaining balls to CASH in, i.e. add to the "Golden Five" which will determine your Jackpot amount. If you choose a Cash Ball to Cash in, that amount is added to the Jackpot. But if you choose a KILLER Ball to Cash in, the current Jackpot value will be slashed to one-tenth of it's value. For example, if you had a Jackpot of $10,000 built up, and you Cash in a KILLER, the Jackpot will drop to $1,000. Granted, if you have no Jackpot amount when you Cash in a KILLER, it has no effect short of taking up one of your valuable "Golden Five" spots. We'll go back and forth until there's only one ball left. That last ball will be automatically TRASHED. The remaining "Golden Five" balls left will then determine your final Jackpot amount! So Nelson, choose a ball from 1 to 11 to TRASH...

Post by GMNick on Jun 23, 2022 16:24:39 GMT -5
Number 9...let's see what that ball is... ... $7,000. Amazingly, that's actually one of the SMALL amounts you have on the board, which means you are still working for that $164,500 Jackpot. So we TRASH that ball, leaving 14 balls on the table. Nelson, you now need to pick a ball to CASH IN and add to the "Golden Five". Which one would you like?
