Series 2 - Episode 14
-
I can't believe how much utter err... 'gameplay' there was in the earlier series compared to the later ones. So much more challenge involved. For example, the dissapearing dungonner today, and other bits and pieces. So many little 'one-off' things to make the dungeons more exciting

For some reason the scene with that Antony bloke from Ash (series 1 or2) when he meets Lillith is sooo pathetically funny!!!
I chuckle everytime I re-watch it!
"...And for that you must pay me a toll.
What do you offer boy?
... ... humbugs" (in this dungeoneer's quiet, slightly in-confident voice tone)
..Ah and the way Lillith reacts.
"HUMMMMMMMMMMBUGS?
You offer me an empty jar of hummmmmmbugs?" (Said Lillith in a rather wobbly voice tone)
is it just the word that's funny or what?
It had me laughing by the second time round!
...And the way they misread POTION for POISON- twice!!!!!
Classic little scene though!!
And they kicked @55 at combat chess!!!

Well, I think i'd get pretty angry as well if someone offered me an empty jar of humbugs. I mean where's the pleasure in that?
-
The Actress who played Mildread and Lilieth is still around ??
-
It wasn't as bad as that one team offering her a bar of soap. Yes, what nicer way to tell someone that they stink!
Well, maybe she could have put the bar of soap into the empty jar of humbugs and played with that (It can't be much fun in a spray-painted rocky domain with only a small ledge can it?)
I dunno.

I edited the humbug dialogue on nero wave editor.
It now says:
Anthony: Humbugs, I want the humbugs!
Lillith: HUMMMMMBUGS?
You offer me Hummmmmmbugs? An empty jar? How dare you insult me!! I have no time for- hummmmbugs, so Crummmmbugs, down!!!platform falls and lillith cackles!
heehee

This bit of footage is just screaming out for a massive remix.
See the E-sure remix (http://www.funfreepages.com/videos/e-sure_remix.php) and Cillit Bang remix (http://www.funfreepages.com/flash/cillit_bang_remix.php) for examples of what I'm on about.

I like Series 2, but would like it even more if not for its arbitrary unfairness when it comes to Level 1 clue objects. In this matter, S2 teams appear to fall into 3 categories:
A. Teams that only need one clue object to complete Level 1, e.g. Julian's and Tony's.
B. Teams that need two correct clue objects to complete Level 1, e.g. Martin's (failed through lack of Ground Toad's Legs), Jamie's (Humbugs for Troll, Small Change to create wellway).
C. In between A and B, teams that need two clue objects to complete L1 and can get away with a 'wrong' one, e.g. Neil's (needed dagger & bone; got away with dagger & potion).
Added to this are differing degrees of difficulty at the clue tables. Martin's two truths earned him no clue object tips whatsoever. Neil's team got advice in exchange for a single correct answer ('the weapon is useful'), and given their later bone/potion let-off, that advice was enough to get them to L2. Of Steven's L1 objects, one was a weapon and the other two quickly turned out to be linked (the invisibility talisman + the glove needed to turn it off).
The relevance of all that to this episode is that while Anthony's team tends to be regarded as Category B (failed through lack of potion), I would speculate that they were in fact Category C. They could have got Olaf to accept the jar (after all, he was content with a candle in S3, and elated with an egg-timer elsewhere in S2), and then used the gold to pay what Lillith described as the "toll" for using her causeway. Although she mentioned a potion, I'd suggest that Mary Miller was told to do so, so that Treguard could explain their potion/poison mistake in his post-mortem.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious and pretty darn stupid to take an empty jar of humbugs. The dungeoneer and his team mates did seem pretty gameless though. I would have liked an ooh nasty there would have benn justa s nice with Akash's death which was funny enough but even funnier with treguards ooh nasty
