Title: MTWI question
Post by: whewfan on February 07, 2011, 05:34:17 AM

Looks like the "extra 10 seconds" and the "extra life" are now permanent. Guy mentions that with the extra 10 seconds, you can DEDUCT 10 seconds from a challenge... but I don't understand why ANYONE would want to do that.

I would think, if they have the option to DEDUCT 10 seconds, then there should be extra stakes... DOUBLE the stakes if a player can complete a stunt in 50 seconds. If the player fails a stunt at ANY point, they lose a life AND the stakes go back to the original values.

Deducting 10 seconds is for challenges that require you to survive the full 60 seconds without failing, such as Uphill Battle (keep three marbles from falling off a tilted table by hitting them with a spoon), Defying Gravity (keep hitting three balloons upward so they don't hit the floor), etc.

You RAISE some INTERESTING points THERE.

How WOULD your IDEAS improve the SHOW?

Okay... I didn't think of the deducting strategy in that way, thanks William. As for my proposal earlier, I retract that. I didn't consider those stunts that require you to KEEP UP something for 60 seconds.

Yeah, I went too far and that was unnecessary harsh of me to that and I apologize to whewfan.
