Game: Board of Fortune!
Welcome to the Board of Fortune!
Ever watched Wheel of Fortune and thought you could beat the contestants? Now, you can put that theory to the test by taking a (virtual) spin at fortune!
Basically, it's Wheel of Fortune - minus the wheel, plus a few nuances. As we play the puzzles, the rules may change slightly and small twists may be added, but to give you the jist of the game:
Players will guess a letter. Multiple players are allowed to guess before I respond, however EACH person may only bet once before I confirm/deny a guess.
For each time a consonant appears in the puzzle, a player is granted $50 (again, virtual! ). Each time a vowel appears in the puzzle, a player is granted $75. When a player guesses the whole phrase, they will be rewarded $50 for every consonant that was not already on the board. They will win $25 for every vowel remaining.
To guess a vowel, you must give me something in return: gold! I will give all players two golden tickets to begin with that they may use to guess a vowel. These apply to all of the puzzles, so spend them wisely!
You may buy a new golden ticket for $350.
Scoreboard points will be rewarded at the end, and there will soon be a bit more you can do with those - stay tuned!

Re: Game: Board of Fortune!
Thinking from a different angle, I'm shooting a try with W! W should be somewhere in that long phrase, surely?
And look who's getting out of his regular section a bit - though they all say it won't last!

Re: Game: Board of Fortune!
I'm sorry, there isn't one W on the board. There're actually two! The Lovely Letter Lady will show you where they're at:
And the electricity isn't set-up for our amazing illuminated scoreboard yet, so I'll just have to type it.
Scoreboard:
Kakeshi: $100
Good thing there's not that much information to display.. yet!

Re: Game: Board of Fortune!
You are always allowed to solve. But you just get $25 for the vowels when you solve, instead of $75 (but this can still be good as you don't have to use one of your gold tickets to buy one!).
Sorry for taking so long to respond. But the Lovely Letter Lady and the Wacky Word Woman were having some issues that I had to help them solve.
BUT! You do have two Z's on the board, and win $50 for each
We have a tie! It's hard to shed any light on who's doing better, so unfortunately we can't shed any light with our illuminated scoreboard So, I'll have to just type it again.
Scoreboard:
Kakeshi: $50
General Jonnie: $50

Re: Game: Board of Fortune!
The Lovely Letter Lady is exhausted from revealing all of those letters, you are absolutely correct! :
You revealed four consonants AND four vowels! That's $50 per consonant and $25 per vowel, so you get $300 from your great guess. You were so bright that I don't think we even need our illuminated scoreboard
Scoreboard:
General Jonnie: $350
Kakeshi: $50
