Thanks to millionaire94 (most of shuffle cues), I was able to create what I would say yet another superior presentation of WWTBAM...this time, in shuffle format. I have all animations and graphics in order/triggered and ready to go along with the currently available cues that are posted in the Creativity section. Go see 'em yourself, don't ask me for them - they are not mine. To all of those desperately looking for the missing cues, we salute you.  However, I am hoping that those cues will be available in the next 3 months (approximately) - that is the deadline for my actual presentation. Are we getting any closer into finding those cues? In the meantime, I have absolute patience and confidence that this will most likely be an easy, but very long task. BL5965 and millionaire94 have full credit for finding the currently available cues, and to that - we say thank you. I hope those missing cues will be found shortly, because from my perspective, the clock is ticking. Nevertheless, I've got much confidence and patience in those desperately looking for them. Keep at it!  And that's my final answer! DJ  |

The letter I would be very useful in discovering the origin of the missing cues you seek.

Wait, what? I don't understand - Would you like me to help find them or are you trying to restate what I posted? I most certainly can attempt to search for them.

BL5965 and millionaire94 have full credit for finding the currently available cues, and to that - we say thank you. Hold up real quick. Just some quick clarification 1. Nobody "found" the currently available cues. We've all just been ripping them from the new iPhone game. 2. The missing cues will never be found because they haven't been released. They either A: have to be recreated, or B: you have to get Disney to license them to you, which they will not until they cease production of the show permanently (and who knows when that will be). |

I thought it was from the online game. Ridiculously, my phone isn't compatible for the mobile game, which is quite awesome.
Shucks, I was and still am hoping that it won't take too long because the clock cues were released shortly after the debut of season 7...it might be the same for the shuffle cues, but you're right - who knows. They might've created the new format and music package because of the overpublicity of the cues in the clock era! :/

I think they got sick of the same main theme after 10 years. I know I was starting to. Matthew Strachan's work was and still is amazing, but even Mozart's work would start to sound old if you were to listen to it day after day after day for that many years.
At first I didn't like the new music, but it slowly grew on me and I like it a lot now. And you're right, BL did release a package ripped from the online game but we now have a much more complete and high-quality package (i.e. better than 64kbps sound) that's been ripped from the iPhone game, which is the one I was thinking of. I completely forgot that BL had released a package so I see what you were talking about now.

Matthew Strachan's work was and still is amazing, but even Mozart's work would start to sound old if you were to listen to it day after day after day for that many years. It also probably came from a financial standpoint too. Sure, a new format needs a new score of music, but Strachan keeps the distribution rights on his music. That's why it was easier to get copies of his work - he could give it to any Tom, Dick or Harry that he wanted to and the show couldn't really do anything about it since they didn't own it. In fact, they had to pay a decent royalty to him for each episode. The show fully purchased the music for the new format, though, and that's what makes it hard to get a full score since they (the composers) can't legally give it to you. Full purchase = no royalties = more money for contestants? :-D Speaking of royalties and whatnot, I wonder what the insurance premium is for each contestant. We all know that the show is only liable for $250,000 for each contestant and anything over that is paid by insurance (Allstate Life, I think?) They obviously have to pay a premium for each person playing the game, and I think it would be fun to know how much. Mech |

Whatever that premium is, you know Allstate's making a lot of money on it, because nobody's won anything over $250,000 for a very long time.

Wow, I never even thought about that.
I wonder if Allstate covered the Million Dollar Tournament of Ten, because that prize was guaranteed to somebody.

Maybe they covered it as an award for Millionaire not even using their insurance policy since 2004 (note, this post actually implies that insurance companies care and/or have hearts)

We all know insurance companies are the bottom dwelling scum-suckers of the earth, and they wouldn't freely cough up $1 Million with it being guaranteed, at least I wouldn't think so. I'll talk to Sam Murray this afternoon and see how it was handled for him and let you guys know. My guess is the show was 100% responsible for it though. Mech |

Mech I've always been wondering how do people know famous people. Mech, are you like a friend of his or did you just happen to get in touch with him 'by chance'? If it's private info then I shouldn't ask about it and so you might feel you don't want to answer (I've been thinking 10 minutes how to make this last sentence not sound harsh to anybody in anyway - I'm not an expert in that  ). |

I think I know how Mech knows Sam, but for the sake of his privacy, I'll keep quiet. |

) I guess the next on will be Poland then...
However, I am hoping that those cues will be available in the next 3 months (approximately) - that is the deadline for my actual presentation. Are we getting any closer into finding those cues?
