WWTBAM RPG 71

Post
-----------------
Earlier in the game, I said that both contestants MUST give me justified reasons for each answer they give, outside of the first 5 or 6 questions. The reason you've given above, as well as at least two other reasons, give me reason to believe that you aren't playing the game 100% fairly. Please give me a VALID, REASONABLE justification for going for D. If this was real life, and there was a real £225,000 at stake, I'm 99.99% sure you would not have the response. The game will not continue until I am satisfied that you personally thought that, and that you did not use the internet to find out the answer.

You were asked to justify your answer, which you haven't done. Whilst you may just know the answer, that doesn't 100% pass on the internet, where you have the world's biggest information resource at your fingertips, and none of us would be any the wiser. If this game was done live and off of the internet, it would be incredibly hard to cheat, so most people would believe that you are being genuine, but as this is not live, a run where several answers go unexplained will immediately cast doubt into people's minds, especially when we have quite recently seen RPG cheating. The 'I'm a risk taker' clause is almost irrelevant, as if I did have a cheque with your name on it for £250,000 and you weren't 100% sure about your answer, you'd probably at least use your lifeline. You may be one of those people, but very, very few people would ever risk £225,000 on what appears to be a hunch, it just would not happen.

Take real Millionaire for example, where several contestants were up in the top tier and used their lifelines, or walked away, even when they thought they knew the answer, but the amount they stood to lose was simply too great. Quite often their hunch was right, but if they weren't 100% sure, they took the money. I think a lot of people don't, or can't, imagine what they would do if the money was real when they play this RPG, and I myself have been guilty of this in the past.

Back to my original point, you didn't actually justify your answer, and whilst I understand that you may not know how you know, you should have at least tried to justify, even by a process of elimination of the other answers. By immediately going on the defensive, you've only made yourself look guilty. I would still like you to justify your answer in your next post. In the meantime, the game will continue. Also, this post won't contain graphics, as I am on a different computer to usual.

Okay then, we'll get your friend m275abbott on the line.

*Q15 Background music stops, Phone-A-Friend call starts, phone rings.*

m275abbott: Hello?
MLUK: Hi, is this m275abbott?
m275abbott: Yes it is, who's calling please?
MLUK: It's millionaireloveruk calling from 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'! How are you?
m275abbott: I'm good thank you.
MLUK: Glad to hear it, we've got your friend Pachirisu in the Hot Seat, and he really is doing rather well.
m275abbott: That's good.
MLUK: But now he's stuck on a particular question, but he thinks you will know the answer.
m275abbott: Well I hope I do! *Audience laugh*
MLUK: I hope you do to. I don't want to worry you, but it's worth one million pounds...
m275abbott: Oh... wow!
MLUK: Wow indeed. You'll have 30 seconds (48 hours) to help out. The next voice you will hear will be Pachirisu's. I wish you the very best of luck, your time starts now.

*PAF Clock starts*

Thanks, m275abbott.

I mean, I'm a little sure that it's B, and so is m275abbott... so B: Eight, Final answer. *Puts hands together up on chin and closes eyes*

Hmm... I don't know... I would like to give some of it away to charity.
