The dond.co.uk RTaB host's exact words: "Ctrl-Alt-Down is awesome. He's a genius. But, jumbling the squares is a really bad way to host. Maybe he likes it, but the players won't. Tell him that."

Oh, and Ctrl+Alt+Down is so obviously awesome. It's the best square EVER.

On Deal or No Deal, the boxes are in numerical order. And in all probability, no one in the thread or even on these forums, will never be on Deal or No Deal. But I don't see how that relates to your argument. Everyone hates the jumbled board. I don't know what possessed you to it.

29403 got his original quote from the UK Deal Or No Deal forums, which were the original site of RTaB (I think). I'm replying to their views of this thread. I have no idea how news of this thread managed to get over there. And in the UK, the boxes on Deal Or No Deal are definitely NOT in numerical order. If they don't like it then they shouldn't be watching the show.

Perhaps I should have sent that thing in a PM to 29403 instead of posting it here.

I spoke to the host on MSN.

bufar's probably referring to the US version.

This isn't Deal or No Deal. This is RTaB, as far as I'm concerned, so the squares are much more convenient in order. It's making things convienient here, not making life difficult. Please, for me, for the players finding it hard to follow the square... just make it normal!

The squares are on metartab now. I finally found some time. :D

The Ctrl-Altl-Down squares... I need to find some time... I'm busy most weekends, and I have coursework. (I hate your essays every week, Madame French Teacher.) Probably by the Christmas Holidays... but I'm studying then. I'll try for then.

*SIGHHH* Right. Fine, then. I'm going to have to give in to all of you little weak-minded bunch of annoying *BEEEEEP* now. The board will self-transform back into its degenerate state of boring numerical order then. Just whatever makes you happy.

Ok, thanks anyway. You still forgot a few squares though... And my advice about French: DON'T DO IT past GCSE. I did it for one more year after GCSE and it was the most unbelievably booooooooooriiiiiiing thing that I have EVER done. (At least I hardly ever got any homework.)

Ok, thanks anyway. You still forgot a few squares though... And my advice about French: DON'T DO IT past GCSE. I did it for one more year after GCSE and it was the most unbelievably booooooooooriiiiiiing thing that I have EVER done. (At least I hardly ever got any homework.)
Too late :o
