WWTBAM RPG 74

While I understand that timezones can be a real issue in these games, but I stand by the statement in every sign up thread which states: 'If you agree to participate, you are committing to post in a timely manner and fulfill all necessary requirements of your role.
'. Whilst you are certainly posting in a very prompt manner, which is always a good thing, I would argue that playing realistically, and giving reasonable justifications for your answers would fall under the second part of that statement, as, for me at least, it is a necessary requirement of your role. I know that not all hosts would ask for this, but I do, so I would appreciate it if you could do this for me. The fact you've admittedly guessed through questions 4, 5 (albeit after using 50:50) 7 and 8, with lifelines still intact, and I would arguably consider question 2 a guess as well, this means that you've guessed the correct answer 5 times out of 8 so far, which I would confidently say falls into the 'excessive guessing' RegisFan talked about earlier in the game. 

I'm not going to stop the game again, as that simply would not achieve anything except slowing it down, but I would seriously appreciate it if you just gave me reasoning for your answers. If you know the answers, and you're a fairly quick at typing, it shouldn't take much more than 2/3 minutes. 

I would like to make it clear that I would love every contestant in every single RPG to win, but I do like to strive for as much realism as I can, which may be quite a bit more so than other's who regularly host games. 

Thank you.

Another guess? I know there's no risk here at all, but I certainly admire your guts, @nhoxxinh . 

You had £50,000. You could have Phoned-A-Friend, or Switched the Question. 

*I look at my screen for around 3 seconds, and then up at the contestant.*

You didn't need to though, you've just won £75,000!

*Q8 Win plays, audience applauds, lights come up and set turns white*




*Q9 Lights Down plays, set turns black.*

The Adriatic actually was in 1871, so outside of the time frame in the question. Now, take a look at this: *I hold out a cheque for £75,000* That is what you've done so far. Hopefully I can replace it quite soon with one for more.



You're now just 4 correct answers away from winning one million pounds. You can still Phone-A-Friend, and you can still Switch the Question if you're not at all sure. Question number 9 is for one hundred and fifty thousand pounds. If you were to go for it and get it wrong, you will drop down to £50,000. This is the point where the drops start to get really quite high. Good luck, here comes your ninth question:

I do have some doubts about that, frankly. I don't know why that would be in a Vietnamese history specification. If it is, I apologise, but is there any way you can prove that this is taught in Vietnamese schools please?

*Some of the audience mumble some things under their breath*

*Q9 Final Answer plays*



Well, I'd be surprised if you didn't pass that test, cause that's the right answer, £150,000!

*Q9 Win plays, audience applauds, lights come up, set turns white*




*Q10 Lights Down plays*

Question 10 of 12 is worth a quarter of a million, good luck:

*Q10 Rave Background music plays*

Okay, no worries. You want to ditch it, now we can switch it.

*Switch the Question music starts*

The question is now out of play, but what would you have said if you had to have given an answer?

It was never taught to me in school in America!

I'm going to phone-a-friend, please.

Uuuuuhhhhhh... I'm going to say this straight away, I have no idea. I might have heard this as a bit of trivia somewhere, but I don't know. If I had to guess, I'd think 33 3/4, but it's seriously just a guess. Take the money, man!

*Some of the audience seem worried and shuffle around and murmur*

*Q10 Final plays, some of the audience murmur louder and a couple gasp quietly*



You had £150,000. You decided to use your final lifeline to call up your friend futuregshost . They didn't know, and advised you to take the money, perhaps a warning as to what might have now happened. However, you went against their advice, and gave me C as your Final Answer, risking one hundred thousand pounds on what you describe as yet another 'guess'.

*sign* @nhoxxinh

*I look at @nhoxxinh , 3 second silence.*

You've just won a quarter of a million!

*Q10 Win plays, audience cheers, lights come up, set turns white.*




*Q11 Lights Down plays, set turns black, audience still applauding*

I honestly have no idea how you're doing it, but you must be the luckiest contestant we have ever had! Look at this: *I hold out the cheque* You have £250,000. A quarter of a million. I'm being told this equates to over seven and a half billion Dong back in Vietnam... This is truly life-changing money, and I've love to be able to give this to you and you walk out of here now with it. But, of course, we do have a game to play. 



As much as I'd like for you to go with £250,000, I'd much prefer you leaving with one of the next two. I must seriously remind you that an incorrect answer here would lose you two hundred thousand pounds. *Some of the audience gasp, some laugh nervously* Whatever happens, you have at least £50,000, though. All of your lifelines are gone at this point, but the next one is worth half a million pound sterling. This is it, good luck.

*Q11 Rave Background music plays*



It's such a large risk, I will remind you again: a wrong answer will lose you two hundred of the two hundred and fifty thousand you have at this moment. Take your time it's worth five hundred thousand pounds.
