Series 3 - Episode 9

I'm with WhiteDevil here
Not because I agree with his point of veiw or what he said, just because everyone else has gone with his mate.
And he called someone 'mate' just before ridiculing him.
Perfect people skills, you should become a politican
Or a professional thief

I think they were meant to take the crayon.
I agree, and I think Tim from Dicken's (winning) team summed it up properly when their team had to decide which objects to take from Oakley, with one of the choices being gold - "I think the gold's just greed".
It's a bit like the "don't handle the weapons of the opposition" rule - if you're directed otherwise by a clue or scroll, it's ok. If you're not told anything or don't earn the information, then taking the weapon or being greedy (taking useless silver/gold) will kill you.
In my opinion this going left when you should go right stuff is overrated. It often leads to additional hazards, but not outright death (the team that jumped off the spindizzy at the wrong place in series 3, for example).
I -also- think people who grew up with the later series and are only now seeing series 3 perhaps don't appreciate how ruthless the dungeon can be on mistakes; it seems quite contradictory to suggest that (in series 3 at least) a team that takes the wrong object from a clue room would've been let off had they not taken the left hand door! They were doomed from the moment they didn't take the crayon.
I'm sure there were other teams killed off for taking gold/silver when not instructed to - I'll have to go through the series guides now and check.

I am not deaf mate, my hearing is perfect so please dont tell me what he said because i know... And does it actually matter what spell they used?
I think he was just typing it in caps because that how spells are traditionally written. And as to whether it matters what spell you use or not, ask Helen's team from series 4.
Im talking about the possibility of not needing the crayon at all, ever, if they had chosen the right path.. I still think it wouldnt have come into play, as only once during the series did it appear
This is series 3, not series 4. Mistakes don't go unpunished. And, as I said in my previous post, this 'taking the left hand door will get you killed' thing is seriously overrated. The knightmare books and the interactive challenge things Ali Everett did play strongly on this, but it simply doesn't happen in the series - a team is not killed off just for taking the left-hand door (unless they've been specifically told to take a different one).

Dan, I've got your example for you.
S7, Team 2 I believe it is - what a spooky quest that was too - the team getting chased through dwarf tunnels in Level 1 by Raptor and his ugly assilants - and then getting mauled by what we can only presume to be a combination of goblins and a troll - since it went dark and they had no NightSight but rather a bar of silver instead.
The unfortunate instance was that having chosen the silver - which, to be honest, tended to be a giveaway in its uselessness because of its inferiority to gold, the team then came across some gold which magically appeared at the start of the Trial by Spikes. As soon as that appeared, you got the instant feeling that they shouldn't have two forms of payment - and that the silver would be no use. In fact, the only time this was of any use, was in S4 when the boatman asked for silver and gold, the latter found in Ariadne's chamber - and I you rightly said, S4 was often too kind on mistakes.
However, although they weren't to know the gold would appear in the lovely sharp chess room, decisions to take payment cost them the place in the game, and they totally misunderstood what the NightSight might be used for, as I recall. Anyway, that's a piece of evidence for your bitings.
James, good sir! How are you doing? You come and shout and me some sir.. I've still got your voice message on my mob. and love the accent. Besides, want to hear more of the old 'CUT - it's a HE!'
