9 losses are from Red Devils alone. Blue Devils and Black Devils reduce that loss count a lot, I believe.The Swiftwolf Temple consists of 6 different dungeons: Luck, Cooperation, Risk, Strategy, Deceiving and Might. Click here to learn more about the temple and the dungeons.-

She does have a point there. The tables are also pretty wide, and I don't think everyone has monitors large enough to view the tables properly.

Though, that's if there's exactly 4 devils on the board. We could have two or more devils on the same space, which means the odds are lower, but the risk is higher.In post 60, Mist7676 wrote:25% of hitting a devil good luck <3The Swiftwolf Temple consists of 6 different dungeons: Luck, Cooperation, Risk, Strategy, Deceiving and Might.

No. It just means thatshedoesn't have the chance to continue through this round.
Hmm... it's a 1-3 in 10 chance that I'll hit a devil. The initial damage isn't as bad now, but it can still hurt, especially since I'm in second right now.
So, I'll simply add up those numbers... and run into a box that's already opened.
Anyway, I think I have a few planned out that are safe, but at the same time, I may screw myself over with the killers.Box 21!The Swiftwolf Temple consists of 6 different dungeons: Luck, Cooperation, Risk, Strategy, Deceiving and Might. Click here to learn more about the temple and the dungeons.-

Hmm... frankly, I think the only thing that best fits the $7XX price is the hockey table. Having an iPad Mini cost $740 sounds WAY too pricey. The blu-ray player? Maybe, but that might be $466 instead.

Hmm... I was 1/3 right on row 2. Whoops. Row 3 is probably where I stop, but...
The dining room might be $7756, but that sounds a bit too pricey. The pool table is NOT $7648, there's no way a pool table is that expensive, even if it was fancy. A trip to Paris? Probably a lot more than $7033 with the double trip, but who knows.
If I was to guess, I'd saythe trip to Parisis the one that costs $7033. The dining room probably costs $4746 and the pool table costs $3648. If I'm wrong, than it's likely I have the room and the trip backwards... which honestly makes little sense.The Swiftwolf Temple consists of 6 different dungeons: Luck, Cooperation, Risk, Strategy, Deceiving and Might.

Ooooh... this is quite a gamble. Let's see... the possibilities of the price:
$23475
$24375
$23745
$24735
$27435
$27345
Hmm... on one hand, I have a feeling 27k is a bit much, but knowing most recent vehicles, they tend to be $25k~30k. $23k is definitely out of the question. $24k doesn't sound like an unreasonable price, though, so figuring out where the seven would go there is a bad idea.
I'm tempted to say it's the second digit ($27??5), but I have a feeling that's also too much.
Eh, I'm gonna gamble.2rd digit($27??5).The Swiftwolf Temple consists of 6 different dungeons: Luck, Cooperation, Risk, Strategy, Deceiving and Might. Click here to learn more about the temple and the dungeons.-

Well, I have a 20% chance of hitting something, while puzzledan knows where both devils are.
In the other one, JerryArr didn't know where either of the devils are, with a 28.57% chance. Plus there was also a killer.

I actually have to agree with JDGA on that, especially since I'm at ~$2 million, and we're on game 2. At this rate, it'll take100 matches if I play each game back-to-back, worse if I don't. (In actuality, it's probably more like 50-75, but that's still a lot)
Of course, this isn't counting the losses, which has 9 losses per person, totaling about 45 games. And that's IF the winner never loses once. If they do, it adds 2 games (or more if there are multiple winners).The Swiftwolf Temple consists of 6 different dungeons: Luck, Cooperation, Risk, Strategy, Deceiving and Might.

So, after rereading the thread, I have come to the conclusion that I still want tobattle.
And since these two asked,YurikoJasmine and DiplomatDCare going to play in the next round. That is not the exact order, though.
In terms of who's going when... (and who the 2rd* and 4th people are)
DiplomatDC, YurikoJasmine, swyellowtail, Shiidaji
Yes, I'm still going. Frankly, I'd rather get greedy and let this game go by faster than simply letting the game drag out for ages, as each game has lasted approximately one month on average, which means that it could take quite a few years to complete due to the slow money accumulation and elimination pacing.

With all due respect -- as I'm not too sure how you're going to pull it off -- I would like it if this was applied to everyone if they were to complete a showdown without getting eliminated. Otherwise, as I've stated before, it'll be extremely unfair.In post 217, dad90 wrote:swyellowtail, I'll let you play one of the Bonus Games before we start this Showdown, because I did say from an earlier post that all players who are in ties gets to play a Bonus Game, and I skipped you by accident.
I'll let you playSuper Matchfor a chance to win up to $100,000. Sound good?
Though, I can kinda understand why you didn't give me a bonus game this round, excluding the fact that I didn't have a bonus game: I had way too much money above puzzledan. But, going back to my previous post, should he have gotten $2.5 million or more from that game, I would be put at a huge disadvantage just because of that one bonus game, especially since, from what you've given me, I'd only get up to $100k.
But yes, I will play it.The Swiftwolf Temple consists of 6 different dungeons: Luck, Cooperation, Risk, Strategy, Deceiving and Might. Click here to learn more about the temple and the dungeons.-
