The Price is Right PM [SYND] Ep. 1: Archive!

[babytims]

The time has come for me to make a soft return to the NGC stage.

For about 12ish weeks and like 3 or so shows, we're gonna do a special nighttime edition of The Price is Right! Some things to keep in mind:

No graphics, to make it easier since this summer I'm traveling, and if life gets in the way I can somewhat try to balance my time on here without having to make and update graphics on a limited basis. 

Half hour show, 3 pricing games each episode, with no showcase showdown.

Bigger budget than that of the daytime series, as per usual with nighttime game shows, and I even managed to find some...interesting gifts that will be displayed here.

The person with the most money after 3 rounds plays a modified solo showcase, played differently than the actual show since it's single player. I'll explain how it works when we get there.

There are 25 pricing games I'll use for the series. Not all of them will be played in the short time we have here, but I created some of my own pricing games that will be played here, including on this series premeire.

Oh and of course, please, have fun! It's The Price is Right after all!

Signups are opening now, and we'll begin production Monday. I need 6 of y'all, who's got game?

[koopakid17]

Sign me up!

[nelson21]

Me

[gameboy2000]

I'll play

[babytims]

3 down, 3 to go!

[Bryan]

I’ll go

[babytims]

2 more!

[bighornbattle]

Sign me up please.

[babytims]

One spot left !!

[pathfinder20]

Me.

[babytims]

There we go! Six spots taken, we'll start Monday!

Thanks y'all

[babytims]

Oh, also! I think it'd be fun and cool if I had a little contestant pool:

For those of you who want to play in future shows, and this applies to the 6 already signed up here, send me a PM privately with your name, and I'll add you to a (hopefully) sizeable list, and at the top of each show I'll just pull names of players to use on different shows.

This way there'd be a bit of anticipation of if you're a) going to even be called down to Contestant's Row and b) when you'd be called

*loud cheers as I come through the big doors, the audience gives me a standing ovation. Manuela hands me the mic as I bow. The camera pans across the audience before I say...*

Me: Welcome to the nighttime Price is Right!

*more cheers*

Thank you so much for that warm welcome! It's so good to be back here after such a long absence from the Price stage. This summer, we'll be giving out so many prizes and so much cash that we'll make the bank of CBS broke.

Plus, we've got a few extra spins and some never-before-seen pricing games that we hope you'll enjoy at home! There are several things that hasn't changed, including me announcing the first item up for bids!

Me: That trip will go to the one of you four who bids nearest to the actual retail price without going over. Be sure to bid in dollars, because we round off our retail prices to the nearest dollar. Nels starts, what's your bid?

*ding*


It makes a triumphant return. Actual retail price of that trip...$2,844! Kevin it worked, you win!

*dings, cod cue, cheers*

Kevin, I welcome you to the stage here! Tell us, have you ever been to Palm Springs?

[koopakid17]

No, I haven’t!

[babytims]

And now you have the chance to! I've been there, it's very nice! Now...you're gonna play a game, a brand new game, never seen before in any incarnation of The Price is Right. Kevin...you're the first person EVER to play...

[ C R E D I T ]

[ $10,000]


Credit! And in this game, as you can plainly see on the display, you can win up to $10,000 in cash!

*cheers*

That's if you're very smart and lucky and play this game perfectly. You have a $10,000 leeway to bid on 3 prizes. You wanna get as close to the retail price of the prize, high or low, meaning it doesn't matter if you go over in this game. The difference between your bid and the price of the prize gets deducted from your credit, and after bidding on the prizes, if you have at least $1 left in credit, you win the prizes and any money left in the bank.

BUT! If, at any point in the game, you lose all your credit, you lose everything. Thus, after winning a prize, you can take it and quit, or go for higher prizes. I will also tell you the prizes increase in price as the game progresses.

Before we begin, any questions sir?

[koopakid17]

I think I’m good.

[babytims]

Then let's hope for a big win here! The first prize you can win is right behind door #1!

*harp cue*

George: First, a new range! From GE, This top-of-the-line gas range combines sleek design with unmatched performance, delivering precision cooking at your fingertips. With its spacious oven and versatile cooktop, you'll have everything you need to whip up gourmet meals that'll make your taste buds sing!


Now, how much do you think that range is worth?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[pathfinder20]

From audience $2299!

[koopakid17]

$1,895.

[babytims]

$1,895 he says. What's the price of the range?

*Manuela reveals a price tag that says $659*

*audience oohs*

Ooh-wee. $659 for that range. $1,895 minus $659 means we take out $1,236 from the bank:

*ding*

[ C R E D I T ]

[ $8,764]

$8,764 left in credit, and you have 2 prizes still to feed through. The next prize is more expensive than the range, and remember you go broke in this game then you lose everything. Do you want to continue or keep the range and quit?

*audience shouts suggestions*

[koopakid17]

Let's keep going.

[pathfinder20]

(Ouch I could have bought three with my bid…)
