WEEKLY WHINE
Okay, so nobody really wanted to be a GoobNetaire. Of our 84,219,041,229 players, the high score was 4,096 Silly Bucks, equalled by 14 individuals. Nobody even got to start switching questions. Indeed, more than 30% of our players were bounced out with no Silly Bucks.
Well, you know what all this means. We're not going to offer Super GoobNetaire when our ratings slip.
But at the same time we got plenty of interesting feedback from our players. Besides those who wanted more questions about football, athletics, Mercury, Broadway, literature, or any of a number of other special interests, there were some useful comments from people who felt that the game could be superior to all other games, except SnakeBall, with just a few tweaks. They were wrong, but we're going to hack open the GoobNet Mailbox anyway. If you're using Microsoft Smell Player, we suggest turning your smell volume down.
This game was great! Can I play again? – Rick Aurelia, Salem, OR, USA [256 Silly Bucks]
As of now, you may play Who Wants to Be a GoobNetaire as much as you like. But your account won't be credited with any more Silly Bucks.
This game sucked! Can I play again? – Jean-Alie Marques, Nantes, France [0 Silly Bucks]
If it sucked, why do you want to play again?
Why was the top prize a million and 40,000 or whatever? – Aaron Fulchers, Annapolis, MD, USA [0 Silly Bucks]
1,048,576 = 524,288 × 2.
Deb, are you available? – Nicholas R Jenkins, Key West, FL, USA [0 Silly Bucks]
Is that all you could think about when you were playing? No wonder you left with zero. – Deb Harratsch
Damn, that was really hard! Couldn't you have offered some more lifelines? – Mari Lemmurra, Darwin, NT, Australia [256 Silly Bucks]
We gave you four lifelines for sixteen questions! What the hell more do you want? Ask Your Mama?
I asked my mama on the question about peanuts. She didn't know. – Marc Silvanya, Split, Croatia [0 Silly Bucks]
Ha ha.
What was the million Silly Buck question? – Ura Gleggermont, Port of Spain, Trinidad-Tobago [256 Silly Bucks]
There were six different ones, moron. It wouldn't be very useful if you switched from one question to the same one.
How the hell would anyone know how many nodes there are? These questions are too damn hard! – Chris Flachulinz, Odense, Denmark [0 Silly Bucks]
For those who are too lazy to read Reg's welcome letter, or even to look at the top of this freaking page, here is a list of the nodes that comprise GoobNet.
Everybody got that? Because we're not repeating it.
Here's a puzzler. What's the difference between Who Wants to Be a GoobNetaire and the Russian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? – Magda Butrinski, St Petersburg, Russia [256 Silly Bucks]
A million rubles is worth a lot more than a million Silly Bucks?
Your audience is virtual, but ours is villainous! – Magda Butrinski, St Petersburg, Russia [256 Silly Bucks]
Yeah, we all wish we had a villainous audience. Like Snoop Dogg's audience.
Why did you have three guaranteed levels instead of two, like on regular Millionaire? – Glenn Ewellin, Cmyr Nu, Wales, UK [256 Silly Bucks]
Well, for one thing, we wanted to encourage you to guess a little more by decreasing the amount you'd stand to lose. But besides that, 4 = 2².
The graphics and stuff were good, but how can I really replicate the feeling of sitting in the hot seat? – Becky Salvarra, Milwaukee, WI, USA [4,096 Silly Bucks]
An electric blanket. Or a space heater.
You know what lifeline would have been good? Ask Marilyn Vos Savant! – Cherelle Turncoat, Jefferson City, MO, USA [0 Silly Bucks]
Would she know a lot about GoobNet's history?
No, I didn't do too well. – Marilyn Vos Savant, New York City, NY, USA [0 Silly Bucks]
Ha ha.
How come you didn't have a Fastest Finger question? I wanted a Fastest Finger question! – Lara Flinthoffer-Abramowicz, Brownsville, TX, USA [256 Silly Bucks]
You want a Fastest Finger question? Fine. Here's a Fastest Finger question:
Put these Futurama characters in order by their number of eyes, starting with the most.
That was so disappointing. Deb, why didn't you momentarily mislead the players? You know, like, "No... you haven't seen 'Bashing the Establishment Since 1997' because it's right!" – Meredith Vieira, New York City, NY, USA [256 Silly Bucks]
And now, here's Deb to provide the answer to one of the 2,048 Silly Buck questions.
Shut up. – Deb Harratsch
