That is a decent strategy, might have to try that out.

Deleted the last post, I didn't realise I posted here and didn't message you. I negotiated a higher offer, to which I'm going to say deal.

Round 5 results

In live play
Skyline (3/5)

Dealt fourth offer
American Coupon Boy (4/4)

hogwild94 (4/4)

Dealt fifth offer

Round 6

Only one person remains in live play (albeit due to inactivity in the last round...).

20 - £3,000

19 - £1,000

This is cutting it close...

8 - £75,000

Nightmare round!



Or, if you prefer the squashdown version:



Banker time...

(Proof.)

Serves Skyline right.

Banker's offer:

£333

I also need someone to be next week's box selector. Who would like to do it?

Also, after this week wraps up, I am making an announcement affecting the future of WWYRD.

So glad I got out at the right point - albeit with a bit less than I could have got from my negotiation.

Hope it's not bad??

Could it be that the game as we know it will change? coughBox23cough

Well, it potentially can be bad. It depends on what happens.

Interesting.

No regrets from me about how my deal panned out. I'd have been gone at 5-box most likely anyway.

Oops... I've been busy revising and being out generally...

ND... and No Swap

(I would have tried £10,000 and would've dealt at the fifth offer anyway... but oh well )

I will be happy to be the chooser of the boxes.

Skyline wins £750!

So now, announcement: I alluded to this in the Plans subforum right here, but Week 30 will be my final week hosting this. I will definitely be paying the two winners their £10 and £5 prizes, but I honestly don't have much of a desire to be continuing this game.

That's not to say this series is ending at Week 30, though. If anyone wants to step forward and take over hosting duties, be my guest! If no one does, it will just die a miserable death (albeit with some nice final prizes to dish out).

That's a shame. This has been a fun series.

I'm sure we could take it in turns to host.

Yes, I'll do a week at some point, happily. I mean, we could just fast-forward it to the end of Week 28; I could really do with a fiver...

Interesting. It will be a shame to see you go, Saperogo. I would like the series to continue, don't know who would take over as host but hopefully someone steps up to the plate.

I'm not all that great with stats ect, but I would be happy to take over as host.

Don't want to jump the gun and stop other people from doing it, though

I'm more in favour - much, much, much more - of alternating between members than of one current player assuming the role. It would give a chance to all who might want to take on the role, rather than excluding those who want to do it but are then unable to. I think it's a fantastic idea, and it's backed up, too; the 'guest banker' idea went down an absolute treat, so why wouldn't a 'And this week's host is...' setup?

Agreed. It would also prevent one particular player from becoming bored of hosting the series every day and everyone would have a chance to host/be banker and actually take part in the game too.

The "guest host" idea sounds pretty cool! Just make sure that no one fights over being host for a particular week!

Guest host? Sounds like this game is gonna turn into Have I Got News for You!
