Brawl 5: The Price Is Right

[Cheery Dog]

Draw a card please

[mastin2]

I'd just like to say:
I think this round was poorly designed.
Let's arbitrarily say that there are ten rounds.
Let's also arbitrarily say that Private I wins 5 of those, and Cheery Dog wins 4 of them.

I don't know about Frozen Angel, but personally, I know *I* wouldn't feel like I've won the game if I only won ONE round out of ten.
And yet, by having the veterans included in the game (I picked FA thinking it'd be a 1-on-1), that's basically exactly what's happening. If it were purely me vs FA, we'd be about even right now. I think I MIGHT be in the lead, but it'd be a really close game: exactly as I anticipated when I selected her as my opponent. An even match.

But with us also in a game against two veterans, they're consistently stealing the spotlight, and will continue to do so, short of pure blind luck.
In short: while the battle between the two veterans going on in this game is a battle of skill, because you included two rookies in that battle the two rookies are effectively battling on luck of the leftovers: hoping to get into that sweet spot.

Just how many rounds of the veterans taking everything are you expecting?

Because there should be absolutely nothing surprising about two veterans consistently outperforming two rookies.

There are six games total, but we've decided to split up the final three games into separate matches for the veterans and rookies to give the rookies a chance to play in the games.

Also,

Spoiler: Handbags

$3,685. Sorry, but you have lost the pricing game. However, you still won the iPhone and watch!

Who the fuck spends that much money on

handbags?!?

I use a freakin' shoebag as a handbag. Know how much that cost?
Something like $5.
Know what sorts of limitations that shoebag has?
Almost none, it can fit literally anything I'd need to carry.

Five bucks for a practical bag.
Not fifteen.
Not fifty.
Not even five-hundred.
And certainly not seven times that price!
Five bucks, same exact function.

What is

wrong

with people in California?

Edit:

Apparently, actually, the exact price of the shoebag now is twenty dollars. (Mine's blue, but it's identical in type to the middle red one.) So, a little more than five bucks, but I did get the shoebag like ten years ago and I don't think it was brand new so I don't think it cost $20.

STILL, point remains:
Practical bags for $20 exist. Why in gods name would you spend 184 times that price on them?

Regardless I'm going to hope it's the price of the car.

Spoiler: Actual retail price...

$19,720. Sorry, but you were not within $1,000. I'll set up PTs shortly for the separate games.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Frozen Angel has quit the game, and since she was already in the Brawl, she won't be replaced.

[mastin2]

I'm so sorry, FA.
I wouldn't have selected you if I had known it would go like that.

[Frozen Angel]
