Any explanation of why you were asking about Box 23?

What's Box 23?

That's what we were wondering...

I've been asleep since Friday, must've been dreaming.

He was playing along with the running joke, I'm afraid...

(Okay, guys, I think it's funny as an immediate response to someone forgetting my general rule, but let's not keep bullying or hounding him for his "mistake" (if you could even call it that; it's not like it's explicitly stated in the first post "The real game doesn't exist!"). After all, the last thing I need is for someone to stop posting here due to hostility from other players... In fairness, this isn't that hostile, I suppose. )

No, of course it's not! Light-hearted fun.

Since there's no post-game twist on this version of the show, I have to be sensible here, so I have negotiated a slightly higher offer....................


......................to get an extra £500 that I don't need as there's no risk with negotiating. Since this offer is EXTREMELY generous for the board, I now have no choice but to say DEAL.

Despite a failed negotiation, I'm going to say DEAL as well!

Round 5

15 - £100

3 - £250

Finding the £10 now would give us the perfect round.

2 - £20,000

It's now a one-box game.



Or, if you prefer the squashdown version:



Banker time...

(Proof.)

Let's make American Coupon Boy mad.

Banker's offer:

£8,500

Actually, that offer makes me quite happy, as the offer would've only gone up a few hundred quid despite the £75,000 staying, validating my decision to Deal when I did. Also, as I would've dealt when Pedram did today, I definitely would've dealt that offer as well.

You're forgetting about my negotiation cap.

I have had my negotiation accepted, and shall say Deal. I'd hate to go on and lose the £75k.

Pedram? That's a curious name!

You fell right into my trapppppp

I knew that would get youuuu

Oh...humbug.

I've negotiated an offer of £10,000. To that, I say DEAL!

Grr, annoys me when someone manages to negotiate a higher offer than me.

Ah, I have a strategy: Find two figures from somewhere. With your first negotiation, go for the higher of those two, and if that's rejected, with the second go for the lower amount. If the first is accepted, all's well, and if the second is rejected, you're buggered.
