*** Millionaire main titles play as host enters the studio ***
*** Audience enthusiastically applauds ***
Thank you all, thank you!  Hello and welcome to RPG 134...
My name is CB and I'm honoured to be your host for this episode of the world's greatest game show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! Post ----- Note: Just a few brief technical details to mention about the presentation format... 
During the course of this RPG there will be image previews from my interactive browser-based Millionaire home studio application, which I've been developing to showcase in due course.
A massive credit goes to osswmi for his "Classic HTML5 Game Controller (2015)" which I've based this upon, including graphics contained in his publicly released package (via YouTube).
Also featuring are the magnificent Millionaire Logos which ZoranixOG released in their topic here.----- End
Over the previous 133 episodes here at Millionaire Fans Studio there's been a fair share of drama, and several people who've gone on to win the top prize in various currencies.
Tonight we hope to add to this special club with £1 MILLION the top prize. So without further ado let's welcome our 10 brand new contestants from across various corners of the planet.
They are... *** Contestant intro theme plays, as studio lights flash subtly, and camera switches to each contestant waving *** *** Intro theme continues for the remaining 8 contestants ***
So, to decide who's first for their chance to win £1 MILLION, it's time to play Fastest Finger First.
The same process as ever here. Whichever of you correctly puts the 4 answers in the correct order will be first to enter the hot seat.
We'll get the game moving as soon as ONE of you answers correctly.
As usual audience, please observe utmost silence to respect all players. Here comes the question... *** Studio turns a glowing red hue as the question appears, is read out by the host, before the lighting flashes as the "3 Beeps" cue plays ***
*** Fastest Finger First cue continues looping for a sufficient measurable duration, until the director decides to stop it *** |

*** Fastest Finger cue stops, before the studio returns to its usual static general lighting *** OK, time is up. The NWS weather risk levels from the most to the least severe. Let's see the right order... The most severe National Weather Service risk types are: Level 5/5 = High (shaded pink)
Level 4/5 = Moderate (shaded red)
Level 2/5 = Slight (shaded yellow)
Level 1/5 = Marginal (shaded green) (Note: Enhanced is risk Level 3/5 which completes the 5 types.)
That's the right order. Now to see how many of our 10 enthusiastic contestants got it right, and most importantly who was fastest... *** The producers looks puzzled initially, before confirming there isn't a technical malfunction in the computer system, and inform the host *** Well, well, well. No one got it right! Oh, dear. *** Audience laughs, and (most of) the 10 contestants see the funny side ***
So, this means we'll have to ask another question. Thank you again audience.
Here it comes... *** Studio again turns red themed as the question appears, is read out by the host, before the "3 Beeps" cue plays ***
*** Fastest Finger First cue continues looping, while at least 1 contestant hopefully gets it right! ***

*** Fastest Finger cue ends, and studio lighting returns to its standard style again ***Some anxious looking faces from our contestants, but I think a few of them appear to be more confident than last time. Let's speed through the answers firstly... Year 1998 = Windows 98
Year 2001 = Windows XP
Year 2007 = Windows Vista
Year 2009 = Windows 7
That's the order we're looking for. Now have any of our contestants got this right?
Surely at least 1 of them has... Yes! 5 of them in fact. And let's see who was the fastest... Kirbyplayers in 4.68 seconds! *** Audience erupts into enthusiastic applause, before the Walk Down theme plays, lights go down, and both contestant and host leisurely stroll to their hot seats ***
So here here have Kirbyplayers, first tonight in with the chance to become our next Millionaire. We can chat more in a bit, as I believe we'd all like to get this game underway. You'll know the rules by now... Just 15 questions stand between you and the life-changing £1 MILLION top prize (tax free).
*** Money Tree animations displays on screen ***
Your 1st Safety Net is fixed at £1,000 (Q6) as usual, and then the 2nd Safety Net can be set variably anywhere between £2,000 and £500,000.
This is set before seeing the next question. So for example, if setting it at the traditional £32,000 (Q10), it first needs reaching that amount following a correct answer. Then the 2nd Safety Net becomes a valid safe haven, as a guaranteed amount you'll leave with tonight.
We begin the game with our usual 3 lifelines: - 50:50 *** 1st Ping ***
- Phone A Friend *** 2nd Ping ***
- Ask The Audience *** 3rd Ping ***
Then once you reach £1,000 (Q6) you'll automatically unlock another Lifeline: Switch The Question
 *** 4th Ping ***
This will give you a brand new question for the current level you're at, after which you can still use any remaining lifelines (or walk away).
So with all the basic stuff out of the way, are you ready to play, Kirbyplayers ?

Of course, that is the correct answer! *** £100-£500 Correct Answer cue plays ***
The first computer "Ball Mouse" was developed in 1972 by Bill English. Imagine if it was a Groundhog instead...
They will get progressively harder I promise...

Correct answer! *** £100-£500 Correct Answer cue plays ***
The popular festive song was recorded in 1950 by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys.
Next up is Question 4 for £500: Post ----- It's getting a little late here UK time now, so this will likely be my final post until tomorrow. (Feel free to answer whenever is convenient though Kirbyplayers, but no need to wait for my reply until morning.)

I am not good at all with european questions. I have never been to Europe. I live in the USA. But if I had to muster up a guess, it would be Victoria Sponge. I am not sure though. Although I would hate to use a lifeline this early, I will ask the audience.
