Four picks, and all four colors now have had a turn. We're splitting this up pretty evenly so far.
*puzzledan unlocks sphere #2*
puzzledan
*and opens it up*
puzzledan
*everyone cheers*
Puzzle solved!
*more cheering*
Now, we can't just leave jmj with a target of 4, that wouldn't be fair. Instead of making our second sphere this round agoldensphere, we're going to instead open up another sphere from puzzledan's rack, and makethatselection your new target. No money at stake, we're just trying to improve the odds.
puzzledan...
puzzledan
...you picked even stevens, is sphere #4 a 0?
*puzzledan hastily flings up the lid*
puzzledan
*siren goes off, everyone cheers again*
puzzledan, if you can now pick your 1, 2, and 3 spheres in ascending order (or call out the order), you will jump the line and be in the next game of Optimize! You have 24 hours from this post to select.
What a selection that is! We'll keep the lids shut for now whilst puzzledan contemplates that decision, meanwhile jmj's red sector comes out of nowhere and on the board!

Can't ask for better than that.
jmj, while the side-game goes on, you have a huge break and a huge decision here. Where does that beautiful target of 0 go?yabbaguy ~ Winning without actually winning.

Xalxe, looks like you're in the insurance business today. Hopefully you aren't burnt out from picking a 4/0 and a 3 in the previous games! Have at it.yabbaguy ~ Winning without actually winning.

*Xalxe opens up the sphere*
Xalxe
*audience cheers, set flashes green*
Whoa! Xalxe's on fire!
*stagehand bolts out with the extinguisher, everyone yells at him in vain as he sprays Xalxe needlessly with the foam*
You're supposed to use fireblanketson people anyway!
*walks over to Xalxe and wipes the foam off of his shirt and his spheres, talks meanwhile*So Xalxe... after you... get all this stuff... off of you... we need... a new target.*pats back, all the foam is off now*
Xalxe
*Xalxe sweeps some extinguisher foam off the lid, then lifts it*
Xalxe
*audience, slightly disappointed, applauds*
So the target still advances. But hey, now we can appreciate Xalxe's appreciated sphere-picking value.

So far there's only been one contest, that was JasonWazza's blue 2 which you won with. The others have been 4s and 0s, nothing you could do on any of those.
First target of 1 this game, who gets it?yabbaguy ~ Winning without actually winning.

You're gettingsomethingguaranteed if this 60% shot works out. If you can win $500 literally, I can't see why you couldn't win more than $500 virtually though.
But let's see...
*walks over to jmj's spheres and unlocks sphere 5*
jmj3000
Are we in the money now?
*whisks open the lid*
jmj3000
*audience cheers loudly, jmj's pretty pleased with the development*
THREE fours in a row! Easy game!
Well... those golden spheres are feeling pretty neglected over there. That's now three we've skipped over and counting! Instead, we're cracking open another one of your spheres, and now we're going to the left end of the rack.
*sphere #1 unlocks*
jmj3000
How influential isthis4 in our game?
*lid lifts*
jmj3000
*siren goes off, audience goes ballistic, but then wonders what the heck is going to happen next*
Oh geez...
jmj3000
Well, we didn't think that would actually be a threat. But now there's just a 1/6 chance of jmj3000 winning a queue jump for thenextgame of Optimize too! What chaos!
*lawyers rush up on stage now and start blaming me, the producer, for this lack of oversight*
AGH STOP INVADING THE STAGE, OKAY, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THIS COMMERCIAL!!! AHH!!!
*theme plays and audience cheers as cameras get a close-up of me getting verbally abused by the legal staff*
I've made a mistake, I don't think two games to jmj3000 in a row, if awarded, would be enjoyable. I'll probably discontinue having contenders pick spheres. But I probably should dosomethingif he nails all five spheres. Hmm. Thoughts?-

You're forgetting this part of the linejump ruleset.
But I think the contender shouldn't have their own set of spheres unless you don't have enough other peopleHolder of the Longest Continuous Weekly Mafiascum Post Record. 1 July 2012 - 16 Feb 2023

Honestly, the rules state waiting 4 games before I can play again if I win a line jump.I win the line jump, double it for me please, and make it 8 games.IF
Now, as to my order... I just beat the odds and got a 4/0, lets see if I can really bowl the odds over.
My order is:

*theme plays, sphere flies into logo*
*virtual sphere opens up with a shot of jmj's remaining spheres*
jmj3000
Welcome back! Well, we've had a predicament. Or do we? If jmj has now called out the order of his three remaining spheres, 1-2-3, he might well just have to get a free game in 8 like he said. Rules are rules, unfortunately.
What's the order jmj?
My order is:
0 1 2 3 4jmj3000
*spheres open up*
jmj3000
*buzzer, audience laughs as I breathe a sigh of relief*
THAT was 3-2-1 as well! Whoa, that was close again!
And let's never do that again! At least we got away with it legitimately.
