Four years ago, I devised a "Gag" DoND format on here, which proved worryingly semi-popular with an escalating jackpot, wacky prizes and uneven, random round lengths, and was so bewilderingly confusing
Wakey dealt in it once. Last year,
Lewis faced an all-new gag game, and had a bad one.
Today, the madness reaches a new phase. Inspired by the result of the General Election 2010... I bring to you...
GAG DEAL OR NO DEAL 2010: A TWIST COALITION!Every game's board is different - there will always be 23 boxes, with six amounts below £1,000, six between that and £26,000, five between £35,000 and £250,000 and six non-cash boxes, usually prizes. However, they will be organised into colours, in the ratio of seats in the new House of Commons: 11
blue values, nine
red values, two
gold values and one
grey box. The amounts are split randomly between colours, so what's the significance of the colours? It all comes down to shifts.
This game normally consists of four five-box rounds, leaving a three-box final decision (no two-box offers here!). However, if you hit three of the same colour, or three different colours, with the first three boxes of the round you gain an instant offer there and then. Furthermore, there is a random shift at the end of each regular round - one colour is chosen at random based on the ratio of amounts remaining and the impact on the board is as follows:
blue - the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Two random amounts below £5,000 are shifted down, one above £50,000 is shifted up.
red - the poor are helped out, but a deficit problem exists. One random amount up to £100 gains a minus sign (so £50 becomes -£50) but the next two lowest amounts on the board are shifted up.
gold - freedom is increased, but for whom? An extra offer is added to the next round, but the Banker decides when it is.
grey - the established order is overturned! A redraw of every amount remaining on the board is made, keeping the same amount categories (so a £35k+ value is replaced by a new £35k+ value, a prize is replaced by another prize, etc.)
Obviously, this game is going to get rather confusing. Let's clarify things by revealing the board for tonight's debut game!
