Deal.

I'm giving this a go. You're only here 30 times in this series, so you've got to make it count. NO DEAL!

Because all the red amounts will be there twice, as I've already guessed and seems to be backed up by everything you've said so far.

Anyway, it's still a decent offer considering the board, but No Deal.

Je laisse!

NO DEAL... if you didn't understand the above

No Deal.

And I think it's double money next week.

I'm NOT risking being the new lowest seller of the £100,000 (which in this dimension currently stands at £27,000 ), so I shall NO DEAL once more.

Had a good think, but I'm prepared to take a punt, so NO DEAL.

Round 5

hogwild94 deems this game worthy of a punt, but will the boxes agree?

2 - £20,000

Holy smokes, Batman, look at that gap!

8 - £250

Come on... one more to go...

10 - £100

Phew! But still...



Or, if you prefer the squashdown version:



Banker time...

(Proof.)

I am so incredibly confident the £100k will go in the next round that I am willing to take this risk.

Banker's offer:

£2,222.22

That imaginary 2013 banker in an alternate dimension whom no one here knows about has nothing on me!

Awful, awful offer.

Let's see what we can do about this.

I like the rush. No Deal.

OH DEAR.......................OH DEAR.......................OH DEAR.......................

Saperogo has been abducted by an alien Banker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH DEAR.......................OH DEAR.......................OH DEAR.......................

Since aliens are very stingy with negotiations, I shall NO DEAL.

Yeah, I'm prepared for the worst here, so NO DEAL.

Awaiting the result of my second negotiation; my first, at £5,000, failed.

Scary board, poor offer. Wouldn't deal anything less than £8k on this board and since daniel123 failed with his £5k negotiation there's no point wasting my negotiations. Hate to say this but it's a No Deal.

Well, I've negotiated an offer of £4,444.44; DEAL!

Round 6

6 - £5

Curiously that is technically the box that tells us nothing, as we may still have either the perfect round or the nightmare round...

14 - £100,000

Ugh. And now we are one box away from the second worst possible finish...

22 - £1,000

Worst possible round! Sigh.



Or, if you prefer the squashdown version:



Banker time...

(Proof.)

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You lot are too GREEDY for your own good. You DESERVE this delightfully horrible proveout. You SHOULD'VE been SMARTER and DEALT much, much earlier.

Seriously. You are all GREEDY.

Whatever. This will hopefully remind you that an offer that initially seems quite stingy does not change the 60% chance of disaster (in this case).

Banker's offer:

10p

Also, I will need someone to volunteer to pick next week's boxes!

There have been some murmurings of guest hosts starting when I finish next week. I'm not sure what a fair process for determining guest host should be, or even if there should be one (this is a free forum, after all). In the meantime, please state whether you are interested in guest hosting Week 31, for now.
