I can help with this one too, although Bob##### probably already has it.

Good shot, I was hoping that you'd be able to reason it out. Without wasting another life line. You are a good contestant.

This question might be unclear, when I say centered around a card game, I mean they actually play card games in the show itself.

Great job, Bob! That's tough one without kids around who play it and watch the show.

Good job, Bob. Tough break
I was confused, because I know I've bought my nephew both Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh cards

I think previous players should be required to submit proposed questions to help Shade out so he doesn't have to come up with all of them himself...

I'm just sayin.... :lol:

That would be helpful, if you have any question ideas PM me (only if you don't plan to play) I'm having trouble writing them all the time.

Now I need to write 100-250,000 questions. I was hoping I'd get another Million dollar winner.

As Meredith says "I'd love to give you this Capital One check for 1 Million Dollars" except she gives real money :D

I won't be able to crank out another game for tommorow or even Friday. The next game will be:

Monday, October 22 at 5:30pm EST

Since most of you will probaby forget this date, I may have one earlier if possible if not I'll remind everyone on Sunday.

Don't forget, Shade, that if you ever need a substitute host for the game, I've always got plenty of questions laying around my desk.

(although I'd like to) I don't own a copyright on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire. If you would like to make your own round you don't need my permission. The only thing I'd request is that your round and my round shouldn't take place at the same time. My round isn't coming out until Monday, so you can hold a game. Heck maybe I'll answer the FFQ and be a contestant for once :D

Since everyone here is a rich game show contestant, we should all pool our money and buy the rights to Millionaire :P lol

OK. I won't be able to host a game tonight, as I will be busy with other work. Tomorrow night, I'm gonna be in Indiana for a special "The Price Is Right" discussion with Todd Newton and Stan Blits. On Saturday, I'll be at work and then head to Lexington afterward.

Some time next week, I'll host a round of questions. :)

I wouldn't mind being in the audience for one of these games - or a PaF - how do I go about doing that?

The first step is to be online when game time comes.

That would be nice, but shade's schedule seems to have him doing the games at night.
