Millionaire

[Chidori__O]

I'm waiting on two people, just VMed both of them.



Here's the thing. We're staying at a nearby hotel for the Labor Day weekend.


1. I may or may not be bringing my laptop
2. Wi-fi is $10 a day, except in the lobby


As such, updates will be limited the next few days.

I'm cool with that. Only problem for me is that school is starting soon and my parents want me at my normal sleep pattern...

(the music ends)

And that's time, let's see the correct order, starting with the earliest.

D: October Revolution (1917)
C: Turkish War (1919)
A: Tiananmen Square (1989)
B: Arab Spring (last year, actually)

Well, let's see who put it in the right order in the fastest time.

Dinosaurus

(orange indicates you got it right, just not fast enough)

And in the fastest time - dinosaurus!

(cue)

You did it! Congratulation, Dino!

(to TV audience)

Dinosaurus is going for one million dollars after this!


(commercial cue, fade to black)


(I'll get back to this in a moment, let me update Sale)

[Doctor Who]

(fade up, zoom out from the cashbox as Dino is in the Hot Seat)

(cue, which fades out as Regis begins talking)


And we're back with Dinosaurus in the Hot Seat with us. Now what do you do for a living.


(feel free to give a fake answer)

[dinosaurus]

((Woohoo!!! I thought I was way off the mark on that! :O))


Hi Reg, great to be here!!

Well, I'm actually a palaeontologist currently set in a South African excavation site looking for fossils from the Triassic to Jurassic time periods. It's very tedious work, but very exciting! I think I'm on my way to a great discovery!

[Doctor Who]

Well, that's great, hopefully we can help you with that.


(CUE)


You know the rules, you know most of the lifelines, because we have two new ones, Double Dip and Switch the Question, you'll earn them at $1,000 and $32,000 respectively. Other than that, the game's the same, are you ready to play?

[dinosaurus]

I'm ready!

[Doctor Who]

Then let's play!


(CUE)


Here we go for $100...

(CUE)

The word 'civilian' usually refers to a person that is not part of which of these groups?
A. The press B. The military
C. The clergy D. The Village People

(chuckles from audience)

[dinosaurus]

Hmmm...

I think I'm going to go with B) The Military, final answer.

*crosses fingers*

[Doctor Who]

Right for $100!



For $200

In what building do people sit in pews?
A. Church B. Bank
C. Park D. Cheese factory

[dinosaurus]

Har har! I knew this one before seeing the answers!

It's D) Cheese Factory of course!, fina...


Kidding.
A) Church, final answer!

[Doctor Who]

Good for $200!



For $300...

Miracle-Gro is used to make which of the following grow?
A. Plants B. Mice
C. Ants D. Toupees

[dinosaurus]

You almost got me with that one, until I remembered toupees are not real hair. :P

Going with A) Plants, final answer!

[Doctor Who]

Can't fool her, you're right for $300!



Moving on for $500...

In which part of the body does a female kangaroo nurse her young?
A. Ear B. Paw
C. Mouth D. Pouch

[dinosaurus]

Hurm hurm hurmmm.....

I feel like this may be a trick question.....

Hmmmm........

Or maybe I'm just over thinking it because I'm quite tired right now.....

Bah, better safe than sorry!


I've narrowed it down to 2, but whenever I see other people use the 50/50, it's always the two they think!
So I think, Reg, I'm going to ASK this SMART LOOKING AUDIENCE!

[Doctor Who]

(some applause from the audience as the lights go up, and the cue I can't find plays)


OK, everybody, Dino here needs YOUR help! Using A, B, C, or D on your keypads, vote now!


(light sequence as the audience votes)



(everyone, you have 24 hours to PM to me what you think the answer is)

[Doctor Who]

(Okay, quick OOC update here. Everybody who responded said D.)

[dinosaurus]

Heh, that was my first instinct, but then I thought, "Hmm, well, maybe it's 'mouth' because that's what they use to nurse the baby in some instances, I think?".

I'm going to go with the audience on this one, and say, D. Pouch, final answer.....

[Doctor Who]

Good for $500!



Now we're going for $1,000 and an extra lifeline...

If you are going to "knock someone into next week" what are you threatening to do?
A. Sue him B. Give the silent treatment
C. Punch him D. Tell knock-knock jokes

[dinosaurus]

Hm, think I'm going to go ahead and say C), Punch Him, final answer...

[Doctor Who]

...And you're going on!


*APPLAUSE, CUE AS LIGHTS GO UP*

$1,000

[50:50][PaF][---][X2]
$1 MILLION
$500,000
$250,000
$125,000
$64,000
$32,000
$16,000
$8,000
$4,000
$2,000 <---
$1,000


The game's getting tougher, so you've earned an extra lifeline; Double Dip will let you pick two answers on any question. The drawback is that once you use it, you can't walk away from that question. We're going for $2,000, so let's keep playing!

(CUE; APPLAUSE)


For $2,000...
