No worries...take your time!

Reroll the 2's

[babytims]

You didn't roll 2's...you have ones:

[ 3 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 1 ] [ 1 ] 

You wanna redo the ones?

[babytims]

Bump for Frank

[grapebuy789]

(I'm sorry.)

Yes, I will reroll the 1's.

Yes, I will reroll the 1's.

(Just checked your vacation thread, Frank. My apologies.)

And that gives you 2 pairs now, but this is roll number 3. How do you wanna play it now...knowing you need...

a large straight or a Yahtzee to stay alive?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[grapebuy789]

I'm going to re-roll the 6s.

[babytims]

*mixed reactions*

I don't blame you there, Frank. Roll them bones!

*audience cheers as...Frank rolls*

*buzz*

And...nothing

That means you lose control of the dice.

And Kourtney picks the ball back up. For gaining control, Kourtney you get to knock any category off of the board. Which will it be?

[pathfinder20]

Let’s get rid of the Yahtzee.

[babytims]

Then Yahtzee's gone.

*clang*

And with that, the puzzle now reads "Number of Declaration of Independence Signers, Last 2 Numbers..." *BLANK* *BLANK* "Cullen Debut Year".

With $9,100 and 1 category remaining you have a very important decision, roll and hope you get a large straight...or solve it right now and bank the dough.

*audience shouts suggestions*

[pathfinder20]

I am going to try and solve now: is it 45?

[babytims]

Ooh...is it 45?

*buzz, audience groans*

No it is not.

And so the pot is once again put in Jeopardy as control goes back to Frank. Frank, there's only one category left, so with it we complete the puzzle:

*clang*

"NUMBER OF DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE SIGNERS, LAST 2 NUMBERS IN PRICE'S CULLEN DEBUT YEAR".

That's our puzzle, and now Frank...for $9,100, can you solve it?

[grapebuy789]

56

[babytims]

*light applause*

Is it 56?

*dings, cheers*

It sure is!

And that yellow indicates that Frank has one round under his belt! We play this thing best of four, so anything can happen! And remember, the pot will keep on building throughout the game...and the player with the most wins gets the money in the pot! Round 2 we'll throw a prize on the board and give out some more dough! We'll be back!

*theme, cheers*

[babytims]

*HR 87 theme, cheers*

It's time to start round 2 of Yahtzee! We've got a special prize on the board for this game, because...

If you knock off the mystery category you'll get to choose one of these 3 colored boxes, one of which holds a check for $5,000 in cash!

*cheers*

The other 2 boxes has a $1,000 check, so it wouldn't necessarily be a total loss. Of course you get the prize and it'll go into your inventory, and to win it you have to win a round before we call time, but first you have to knock off the category that houses the mystery category, which we'll show to the home audience right now:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}

*applause*

And there you have it...it's a mystery only to Kourtney and Frank. We have a new puzzle:

*puzzle cue*

This one's got a whopping 15 words to fill in here. $9,100 is what the pot sits at so far, but it can always grow higher. The round starts with the player with the least rounds won, which just so happens to be Kourtney. Give it a good roll, Kourtney!

*audience cheers as...Kourtney rolls*

*applause* And that's one great roll! You already have a 3 of a kind, which you can bank, or you can go for higher! You're also 2 die away from a large straight if you want, what's your prerogative?

[pathfinder20]

Let’s keep the three of a kind and roll off the rest.

[babytims]

Very well...here's to you getting another pair of 5's!

*audience cheers as...Kourtney rolls*

Ay ay ay. 3 and a 6 now, those won't help you. I'll still offer you a 3 of a kind, or you can take your last roll. What'll it be?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[pathfinder20]

Let’s try one more time. Keep the set of 5 and reroll the rest.

[babytims]

The 5's are yours...roll the rest and let us see another pair of 5's!

*audience cheers as...Kourtney rolls*

*audience groans*

Ah. No more 5's...but!

You do have a 3 of a kind...or you can shamelessly put the roll under chance, either of which will get you money. What say you?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[pathfinder20]

Let’s put it under three of a kind.

[babytims]

3 of a kind is gone!

*clang*

"The Site" comes with a 3 of a kind. That's all we can tell you right now...but you can scoop up another set of rolls if you answer me this correctly:

Which animal’s name translates as ‘river horse’?

[babytims]

Bump for Kourtney

[pathfinder20]

Total guess Dolphin?

[babytims]

Hippo.

*buzz*

We're playing a new show here folks, "Hot Potato" here on NBC.

*laughter*

You're laughing...and I'm on the fritz for plugging another show!

*more laughter*

In any event, Frank we go back to you:

One category gone with many to be uncovered. You're about to uncover one right now with no money for it going into the pot, what category do you want gone?

[babytims]

Bump for Frank, as I forgot to change the nameplate, he gets a time reset

[grapebuy789]

4 of a Kind

[babytims]

Then we'll take off four of a kind!

*applause, clang*

*school bell, cheers*

Aha! The champ has found the mystery category, 4 of a kind! Great finding, Frank, all you have to do now is solve any puzzle this game and you'll have the chance to win a $5,000 bonus which would be yours to keep! Now back to the business of puzzles, with 4 of a kind off the board, the puzzle now reads "The site that houses these...". There's more to be uncovered and more money to be made. Do you want to roll or solve the puzzle?

[grapebuy789]

Too early to solve. Let the good dice roll.

[babytims]

Hey...that could be the name of another game format!

*audience cheers as...Frank rolls*

And...oh! I thought you got the full house already! But you're one die away from it, although the choice is entirely up to you. What do you want to keep for roll number 2?

[grapebuy789]

Reroll the 2 and keep the rest.
