One dollar is not a worst case scenario.  One penny, now that would be the worst case scenario.
[/quote]Joke or not, the fact that you would make a distinction between the worst and second worst case in a game FOR NO MONEY is utterly silly.

Well, yeah, that's why it's a "joke".  Jokes are usually silly.  Humor by exaggeration and all that.

It was clear to me that Jimmy was making fun of the "painfully" serious original post.  Apparently, it would have been more helpful if he had said, "BAD JOKE TIME: One penny, now THAT would be the worst case scenario!!!!!!!! <wink, wink> ROTFL!!! LOL!!!      **throws rotten eggs at self** [Just Kidding, Please Don't Flame Me]"

So, Jim, now you know.

And knowing is half the cliche.

But seriously, folks.

No, wait. Screw seriosity.

Everything is okay.  It's reassuring that the internet will never replace human interaction, with the ability to be subtle, vocal inflection,  quizzical looks, etc.  You can't be subtle when you have to telegraph a joke with emoticons.  I'd rather that some people don't get the joke, makes it all the more satisfying for those who do.

Getting back on-topic, I actually did have the $1M case at one point in Ryan Morris's DoND game and spurned all bank offers.  And all it did was it said in regular-sized text that "You won $1,000,000."  No farefare, no WAVs of people celebrating...not even a exclamation point.  (The fact that we have yet to see what a $1M win looks like is beside the point.)

Obvious fact of the day...playing this game on your computer and playing it on TV are like comparing an apple to an orange. If anyone really thinks you'd use the same gameplay strategy in both environments, then you are lying to me, and yourself, and your nose is about to poke someone's eye out.

And to quote Drawn Together, "Uh, DUHHH!!!" (donkey sound/horse teeth) :-P

Sing out, Brother! For as interesting the show is as a "what would YOU do?" exercise, it completely falls flat in any medium other than a TV game show. The same goes for "Millionaire."
