The 8 character combination has now been set.

The combination is made up of SEVEN digits - 1 through to 0, and ONE letter - A, B, C, D or E.
DIGITS in the combination can occur more than once in the combination sequence.
The LETTER can appear in ANY position in the combination sequence.

The person whose Thunderball is drawn on Wednesday evening must post their 8 character choice of combination on this thread by NO LATER than midnight Friday 12th January.

If the chosen combination fails to open the Safe, then the drawn Thunderball becomes available for new ownership.

The new owner will be determined by the first person correctly answering a question that I will post on the DEAL/NO DEAL TBALL QUESTIONS thread at some time AFTER Draw 18 but BEFORE midnight Friday.

Wednesday's drawn Thunderball will determine whether the Safe's contents go up or down for Saturday's Draw 19.
See 'Game RULES' thread for details.

Good Luck to you all

[mathare]

Ada - I'm going to be offline from tomorrow till sometime on Wednesday. What should I do if one of my balls drops?

[TheGoodGuy]

Hi Mat,

Would you be able to post sometime Wednesday evening before the Thunderball draw that night (normally around 10:30)

or...

Is there someone you could nominate to post on your behalf (like in the last game)


TO EVERYONE:
If you are not going to be around to post a combination before midnight Tuesday, please let the other players know by posting on this thread (like Mat has).
Hopefully the options I've posted above will suit most circumstances.
I'm quite happy to accept your own ideas if you wish.

Ada.

[mathare]

I should be back sometime on Wednesday afternoon unless the trains disappear up their own bottom as they sometimes do around this time of year. If it is my go and I haven't posted by say 9pm on that Wednesday then I am happy for the first person who fancies it to post a combination. If they crack the safe we can then come to some suitable arrangement.

[TheGoodGuy]

That's fine by me Mat.

I'll make your wishes clear to the others again nearer the time should one of your balls get drawn on Saturday.

That just leaves the DEAL/NO DEAL part of the game (if the combination gets cracked), which will have to wait until your return.

Ada.

[mathare]

That just leaves the DEAL/NO DEAL part of the game (if the combination gets cracked), which will have to wait until your return.Personally I reckon we are two or three guesses at least away from cracking the safe so I haven't concerned myself about the Deal or No Deal bit. And if I am not back by Wednesday evening that means I am still stuck at my mum's and by then I will have gone spare and if the trains aren't running I'll have probably started walking the 200 or so miles back home anyway :laugh

Yep...I'm off this Friday night too so whenever suits Ada!

[TheGoodGuy]

Cheers Fade,

I'll change it back to Friday night at 22:30 then if that's OK.

Ada.

[Fadetoblack]

Thanks for being so accommodating Ada.

[vegyjones]

I have an answer that fits all guesses so far, I think..:laugh , but not sure whether there could still be other combinations out there...:doh

After Fade's guess, I'm highly confident! :)

[TheGoodGuy]

ANNOUNCEMENT:

OK, eSafe players.....listen up....

As you are now getting much closer to cracking the combination in order to play the Deal/No Deal part of the game, & you all still seem interested after all this time (thank you)......... I have changed the prize amounts in three of the 'boxes'.

At the moment the 14 'boxes' contain the following:

5 of them contain &#163;0
3 of them contain &#163;5
1 contains &#163;10
1 contains &#163;15
1 contains &#163;20
1 contains &#163;30
1 contains &#163;50
1 contains &#163;75

I am reducing the number of boxes that contain &#163;0 to just 2 instead of 5.

The 'boxes' contents are now:

2 contain &#163;0
1 contains &#163;1
1 contains &#163;3
3 contain &#163;5
1 contains &#163;7
1 contains &#163;10
1 contains &#163;15
1 contains &#163;20
1 contains &#163;30
1 contains &#163;50
1 contains &#163;75

Nothing spectacular, but an improvement nonetheless.

I now have 2 documents time/date stamped that I will provide links to once the game is over to prove that I have left the original contents untouched since before the first draw......
One shows the initial box contents (with the 5 boxes containing &#163;0, dated early November when we started (I think)...
The other will show the 3 boxes that I have randomly added &#163;1, &#163;3 & &#163;7 to, dated today (04/01/07).

Thank you for your continued support.

Ada. :thumbs

I need to get quickly to answer the question to try and get a ball back.probably would have got closer if I had spent a bit more time on it.


Good luck to everyone!

great game Ada. thanks for all the hard work. I watch with interest to see where I went wrong.

BigC- "Can I have my ball back,Mr?"

[Iron Chris]

Unlucky Bigmazey, great effort...:)

[markwales]

If my ball comes out on Wednesday, it'll go on until Saturday as I aint got a scooby :laugh

[bigcumba]

If my ball comes out on Wednesday,

you'll get nicked for flashing in Tesco :yikes: :wink

[vegyjones]

Campbell, are you going for the record of most ball jokes in one thread? :D

[vegyjones]

Mr 2black it is.

I suppose that is some justice after getting to play last time but not getting the prize! :)

[Fadetoblack]

Did my ball drop?

[Iron Chris]

Yes Sir, good luck...:wink

Ada's broadband has gone down :splapme and he cannot access the forum at the moment.

If Fade2Black can post his stuff as Thunderball 13 came out, I (Paul) will pass the messages on to Ada. He hopes to be back on sometime tomorrow but he is in the hands of BT at the moment.

Okie Dokie. Thanks Paul (and Ada)

I know the feeling, I have only been fully back up and running at home since yesterday........... after 4 Weeks & 2 Days...;fire

[vegyjones]

Hello Paul.
Nice to meet you.
A friend of Ada's is a friend of ours! :D

[Fadetoblack]

Okay. There's a good chance this could still go on cause I'm hungover and not thinking right!

73D44539

[vegyjones]

That's not how I had it :yikes:

[Iron Chris]

Okay. There's a good chance this could still go on cause I'm hungover and not thinking right!

73D44539

Looks a winner to me mate...:)

[vegyjones]

Looks a winner to me mate...:)
Yep, it does. A miscalculation in one of my lines means that yours is probably the winning line! :)

[Fadetoblack]

:laugh - Who neg repped me??

[Paul]

Message from Ada:

Thanks for that Paul,

The combination that Fadetoblack posted (73D44539) is the correct combination so has therefore 'won' the game.
I would normally now go through a Deal/No Deal phase of the game to determine exactly how much (or little) he has actually won.
However, that will have to wait until I am back online.

Could you post another reply for me.........congratulating Fadetoblack on my behalf for posting the winning combination (73D44539) & informing him that I will run through the Deal/No Deal part of the game with him once I get back online........& apologise again for my forced absence from the thread.

Adrian.

[Fadetoblack]

Thanks for passing that on Paul.

And thanks very much Ada....look forward to hearing from ya again! :)

[mathare]

Well done Fade - you're two for two now aren't you? :)

[wb]

Stop hogging all the prizes!

[mathare]

Stop hogging all the prizes!:laugh

[Fadetoblack]

If only I could be as lucky in the real world!!

[vegyjones]

My luck seems to be consistent. I was the only person not to get at least 1 gues! :ooo

[bigmazey]

Well done Fade. this means I dont have to sit at computer waiting for the questionto appear.


You did it with a little help from your friends.

Great game!

[Fadetoblack]

Thanks BM. All the lads certainly made it a bit easier for me!

[markwales]

Well done Fade.... I wouldn't have got anywhere near!!...:laugh

Let's hope for a bit of luck in the final stage for you.

Good Luck. :D

[TheGoodGuy]

All,

Apologies for my absence...... due to my :censored: Broadband connection going t*ts up ;fire but it looks like, at least for the moment.......I'm back!!!!!!!

Many thanks to Paul for posting on my behalf.

Congratulations to Fadetoblack for cracking the eSafe combination :REDanceda :icon_win:

Just need to sort out a convenient time to play the Deal/No Deal part of the game.

Post a time Fade when you're able to play the last part of the game.

Ada.

[Fadetoblack]

Hey Ada...

Thanks again...and welcome back.

Mark, I couldn't have done it without the help of everyone else :D

I'm off tonight Ada. (Working tomorrow and Sunday night)

[TheGoodGuy]

How about 10.30 this evening?

Got to nip out at 8 but will be back by 10.30.
I'll be back online from then.

Hopefully some of the others may be around to help you make your choices!!

Ada.

[Fadetoblack]

Perfect.

[TheGoodGuy]

That's a 'Deal' then - will speak to you later.

Ada.

[bigcumba]

well done and good luck for later Fade, and big thanks to Ada for the game and prizes! I'm actually quite excited to see how this all goes tonight!

[scaaty]

Well done Fade - looks Like I just got here in time to wish you good luck for the Deal part ! :thumbs

[Fadetoblack]

Thanks Scaaty and Big C - Exciting times!!!

[TheGoodGuy]

OK....

Fadetoblack....at the time of cracking the combination you own TBall/Box numbers 9 & 13.

If you play the Deal/No Deal game to it's conclusion you will end up with 2 boxes, 1 of which you will choose to open....(they can be either both yours (9 & 13) OR 1 of yours and any 1 other that you haven't rejected.

Things will become clearer as we progress........I promise (I hope).

So Fade....are you ready to start?

[Fadetoblack]

Ready!

[TheGoodGuy]

The 14 boxes contain the following amounts:

2 contain £0
1 contains £1
1 contains £3
3 contain £5
1 contains £7
1 contains £10
1 contains £15
1 contains £20
1 contains £30
1 contains £50
1 contains £75

When you successfully opened the eSafe, the provisional prize amount at that time was £15..so......

Fadetoblack....I am offering you £15 to finish the game now - no boxes opened....
Deal or no Deal?

[Fadetoblack]

Help!!

[wb]

No deal! No deal!

(Says me with nothing to lose)

[Fadetoblack]

You know what...it's a gambling forum...I have to do it...

For the fun of the forum...and for a chance for Ada to get his money back...

NO DEAL!

[vegyjones]

I'll open the box!!!

You don't say that.
UI thought you was an avid fan.

You're supposed to hesitate and then say

NO DEAL

you numpty! :D

[Fadetoblack]

I don't know what you're talking about veg...:wink

[TheGoodGuy]

Fade...

Ok you've said NO DEAL.

You must now reject 7 boxes.
You may reject 1 of your own boxes along with 6 others,if you wish, but this is not
compulsory at this stage. (You cannot reject BOTH of your boxes).

I will then reveal the contents of the boxes you have so far rejected.

[vegyjones]

:laugh

The small italic line thing that tells you when you edited a post seems to come up randomly!

[vegyjones]

This is going to be fun. Our very own LIVE version. Forum fun doesn't get any better than this! My finger's is going to be hot on the "refresh" button :D

[Fadetoblack]

Ok so Ada.

No Deal.

So time to pick a box?

[vegyjones]

OOh, which numbers you gonna rejecy Fade. Come on, I'm eagerly awaiting!!!

[TheGoodGuy]

Reject 7 boxes, read my edited post above.

[Fadetoblack]

Oh sorry, I didn't realise I have to do it all at once. Ok....

2-4-6-8-10-12-13

[vegyjones]

, gone for mostly even eh? I probably would have got rod of 7!

My numbers would have been

1-3-4-5-7-11-13

[TheGoodGuy]

OK

You've rejected 2 4 6 8 10 12 & 13

Please be aware that box 13 is one of your own.
This means that you must keep your other box (9) to the end & possibly be offered a swap if we get that far.

Please confirm your choice is what you want.

[Fadetoblack]

Happy with those Ada!

[TheGoodGuy]

I will be posting links to time stamped documents once the game is over to prove that the box contents were chosen before the game started & have not been changed/tampered with since...APART from the 3 boxes that contained £0 originally, that I changed to contain £1, £3, & £7.

OK, back to business...

Fade...you have rejected..

Box 2 which contained £10
Box 4 which contained £0
Box 6 which contained £5
Box 8 which contained £5
Box !0 which contained £75 :yikes:
Box 12 which contained £5
Box 13 which contained £1

7 Boxes left......

Fade.....My offer to you to quit the game is now £12......Deal or No Deal?

[Fadetoblack]

A good offer banker...

But I'll have to say..

No deal!

[TheGoodGuy]

Thank you kind sir...

I now require you to reject 3 more boxes please.

[Fadetoblack]

3-11-1

[TheGoodGuy]

Ok,

You've rejected boxes 3, 11 & 1.

Box 3 which contained £50 :yikes:
Box 11 which contained £15 :yikes:
Box 1 which contained £30 :yikes:

Bad round that one Fade.......unlucky.

OK....4 boxes left:

5, 7, (9) & 14

1 contains £0
1 contains £3
1 contains £7
1 contains £20

Fade.....My offer to you now is £5......Deal or No Deal?

[vegyjones]

[Fadetoblack]

[TheGoodGuy]

Thanks Fade.....

I now require you to reject 2 more boxes please.

[Fadetoblack]

[TheGoodGuy]

Ok,

You've rejected boxes 5 & 14.

Box 5 which contained £20 :ermmm
Box 14 which contained £3

2 boxes left.....1 contains £0 & the other £7.

Fade.....My offer to you now is £3....Deal or No Deal?

[Fadetoblack]

Twas inevitable!

No deal.

[vegyjones]

oh, man... and such a good 1st round!!

[TheGoodGuy]

I didn't want it to end like this.....it isn't fixed I promise you.

OK Fade,

I'll give you the swap.....do you want to swap your Box 9 for Box 7?

Swap or No Swap?

[Fadetoblack]

Nah....Sock it to me Ada!

[TheGoodGuy]

NOoooooooooooooooooooooooo


You've kept your Box 9 which contains £0 :23_111_9[

Box 7 contained the £7.

Unlucky Fade........unlucky result.....for both of us really....ideally I wanted the winner to walk away with something......as a thank you at least for playing the game......so would you accept a token Amazon voucher as a 'wooden spoon' prize as thanks for your support throughout the game?

Ada. :mad:

[vegyjones]

Very generous Ada. And unlucky Fade for being so abysmal at Deal or No Deal!

[Fadetoblack]

:laugh

It was inevitable Ada!!! I'm not the luckiest guy on the planet. If there were 100 boxes and only one contained zilch, I would have found it!!!

I appreciate the offer of the prize but I'd hate for you to bend the rules of the game out of sympathy for poor old me!!!

Much appreciated though Ada...it was great fun.

[wb]

It was inevitable Ada!!! I'm not the luckiest guy on the planet. .:laugh

Says the guy who had a 100/1 winner in the mythical challenge


Hard luck FTB, and well done Ada for putting up the prizes. Very enjoyabe game.

Great game Ada and a nailbiting finish !

Hard luck Fade ! But never mind - you get to be the founder member of the £0 club ! :D

[wb]

FTB, :splapme Trust you to be quick enough to quote my bad grammar post.

Not needed Ada. Thanks again for the fun.

Sorry for the anti-climax people!!

[TheGoodGuy]

I feel really bad now.....that after 18 Thunderball games, the well deserved winner walks with nothing.


You've all stuck with the game for its duration & I am extremely grateful to all of you that took part for that.

Many thanks for the positive Rep along the way. Always much appreciated.

I'm just hoping you all enjoyed this version of the game as much as I did in running it, & hope you all will be interested in playing if I run it again sometime.

Also be warned.....due to last year's unexpected interest in my Eurovision Game.....it will be back again this year if enough of you want to have a go.

Thanks again to you all for your support...

Ada.:thumbs

[Iron Chris]

Sorry I couldn't be around much last night, after two days of being back to normal with my internet it has gone back to being a bit slow and not everything loading up again...:ermmm

Congratulations on winning Fade, but very unlucky with the final part of the game...:(

Thanks for running another great game Ada, you are a credit to the forum with the games that you run for us...:) ... and I look forward to your future efforts.

[bigcumba]

Great fun as always Ada, and I'll certainly be in the next one you run! Fade... what can I say, that was tough luck.. being Irish you'll probably just write a song about it... "and they called him the Irish loser..." :wink

[mathare]

Oof, unlucky Fade.

Good game though Ada, enjoyed the Deal or No Deal twist at the end, made for a good bit of fun

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Bad Luck Fade - I was rooting for you (but that's no reason to blame me!! :laugh ).

Thanks for the game and the prizes Ada and a quick thankyou to Paul for stepping into the breech at a crucial time of the game.

[bigmazey]

Missed the Deal or no deal live last night but throughly enjoyed reading through it.

Unlucky fade.

Thanks Ada for such a great game. What an ingenious way to do the proof but as someone said it was not needed but interesting all the same.

Cant wait for your next ingenious game.

[bigcumba]

Just realised how you did the 'proof' bit Ada, very clever!

[Fadetoblack]

Thanks for the condolences lads. It is a pity to come away with nothing after all the weeks but hey, I guess that was my choice!! (The person who neg repped me will be happy anyway :D)
