(O)PTIMIZE Reloaded: StrangerCoug's game!

[JDGA]

Hell. Yes. This is pretty awesome.
Well... I've said my prayer to the Random Number Goddess, and she says to choose... the

sphere.

[yabbaguy]

*brings it down*

You gave blue only a 4% chance of even reaching the $200,000 thanks to those two high targets you sent over at one point.



But all the colorful spheres worked perfectly today, and now here you are staring at the possibility of winning the big one.



Now we just have one final question to ask - whether the golden spheres will cooperate one last time.



They gave you a dominating position.



Have we cashed it in?

JDGA...



you have...

*flips lid*

*everyone cheers, theme stinger plays, blue lights flash and blue confetti fires out of the cannons*

HE'S DONE IT!

*more cheering*

...

The biggest win on Optimize EVER!!!

And the first time on here that anyone's taken out the top cash from a sector!

*everyone pours out to congratulate JDGA from the gallery*

*I run over and open the rest to prove the reality*

What a wonderful day. The spheres went out of their way to be generous and now we are here with the best and luckiest player.

JDGA, congratulations on all that cyber-cash, I hope you spend it well.

But still, one bigger prize out there remains unclaimed. And kdowns, one of the contributors to blue's monstrous success, could be the one to do it. Could we have two people breaking the bank?

You'll see... next time.

[yabbaguy]

Just about everything worked so well in harmony with each other. Getting that target down before NS' pick, the fact the blue targets were assigned the right way around, just two bricks the whole time, wow.

[JDGA]

^_^ yaaaaaaay~
That stats page is awesome and a great way to summarise the game, FTR, so hopefully you keep doing that
Other than that, I dare say that's pretty much the best start to Optimize Reloaded possible - except, now that I look at it, the UV players gave us two 4s, two 3s, and a 1...
But yeah! SUPER happy that all worked out, and best of luck to kdowns~

[yabbaguy]

Yeah, I will keep doing that.

kdowns is backstage right now. We shall start once he says he's ready.

[KingdomAces]

Something of note: Not only was kdowns the person who saved blue from a 3 target, but the gold sphere that he saved was the one that JDGA selected in the end.

Congratulations on your win JDGA, and hopefully kdowns' success carries over to his own game.

[yabbaguy]

Just to clarify/remind: contenders need to re-/in after any game they play if they wish to take another ride, players who were just picking spheres stay put in the queue automatically.

[yabbaguy]

The infinite Optimize "marathon" continues now!

On in 3...

$500,000 is on the line.



But this isn't just luck.

This... is Optimize!

*Intro Theme, camera spins around with a quick glance at 20 virtual sets of spheres. It zooms in one set which spontaneously opens to show the innards of the spheres. A golden sphere flies in, spins around while it's opening, and shows a red $0 sign inside. It shuts, spins and opens again, and this time shows an ultraviolet $500,000 (where 0,01 euro and 1 000 000 euros are shown). The sphere closes and opens again, now showing all sorts of game components flying around on screen, with amounts of money on different colored backgrounds, spheres, along with the table are flying about. An ultraviolet sphere then flies in where it should be in the logo as its button turns red and the other letters fly in as the theme concludes.*

*main theme, I walk out*

Hey again!

Welcome everyone!

At long last, we may have exorcised the demon that has been plaguing these spheres for the longest time. So often, we see anguish as contenders keep running into 0s, duplicates, painful sector collapses, and all that. But yesterday, we found JDGA, who at long last found the magical formula that eluded all of that. Between strong spheres, eluding the big targets, placing everything just about exactly where it needed to be, all the pieces fell into place, and he went away with the second-biggest prize in Optimize, $200,000!

*more cheering*

Congrats to him. But the biggest prize remains unclaimed. Will this next contender find a way to get to it? Ladies and gentlemen...

kdowns

!

*audience cheers loudly, kdowns ascends up the lift as spotlights illuminate the platform which he ascends on. Lights all around the lift circle it as his entire body is now above stage level and the platform clicks into place, causing the lighting to go back to normal*

So, hi there.

Take a look around you and admire the view. Colorful spheres all around, and golden spheres right in your face. Do you think you can overcome them?

[JDGA]

Just to clarify/remind: contenders need to re-/in after any game they play if they wish to take another ride, players who were just picking spheres stay put in the queue automatically.

Oh, I forgot about that part. Thinking about it, I'm not too sure if I should - it'd be pretty difficult to top the game just concluded. Then again, it's far too fun to not at least be opening spheres, so... /in~

[puzzledan]

Right now there one way anyone can top it

[Xalxe]

And that's stealing JDGA's money!

*pulls out heist equipment*

[JDGA]

And that's stealing JDGA's money!

*pulls out heist equipment*

(Oh, trust me, if I could get questions for a MishMash adaption of

Win Ben Stein's Money

, I definitely would)

[yabbaguy]

*M:I theme plays*

[Feirei]

NOPE.

*drops Xalxe through the trapdoor*

[Nobody Special]

*fidgets impatiently*

[xtopherusD]

Quick question: The grey in those stats is the thing I'm not understanding. What happened to Mist and bird, and what was with picks 9 & 11?

[JDGA]

Mist and bird bricked. Picks 9 and 11 were on UV after UV had collapsed.

[kdowns]

Well Hello everyone! I hope to do well

*Nervous Twitch*

[yabbaguy]

*a bit surprised*

We've got a twitchy person and a fidgety person now. What next?

kdowns, good luck to you. Have a look up there at our informative display we call the Mega Monitor.

You notice your starting target is 2. Each sector has five players, each with a set of spheres with the numbers 0-4 inside. To win money in each of the sectors, you simply have to pick players who can show up with a higher number than your target, that advances their color money ladder up one space each time you do.

Only one of those sectors' cash amounts will be yours in the end, and the golden spheres dictate the odds of winning each. Right now, looks like red and green are the most likely. Perhaps later the odds will favor the more lucrative colors. Or not. We'll see.

Meanwhile, we simply need you to pick a player and we'll get started. Go for it!

[kdowns]

Let's Get Drench'd!

Drench kicks the game off - again! Can we start with a win this time?

After a bit of thinking about why I left the game, and the result of that last game, I'm going to re/in.
