Anime Press Your Luck at Tsubasacon 2009

Here's Anime Press Your Luck from Tsubasacon 2009 in Huntington, WV! The first question round is omitted due to an error that had an effect on gameplay; both losing contestants were invited back for a future game as a result. Please enjoy! We'll be doing APYL at Tsubasacon 2011!

Lol... loved how the whammy called in... when I read the caption about the mistake, I thought it was going to be a redo of the famous "Silvester" incident from the show.

@erikdraven1731 It was much simpler than that; we accidentally swapped the players' buzzers on each end and gave Rachel credit for a question we shouldn't have. We threw that question out but her spin total should have been 4 instead of 5 for round one. It had an impact on the end result, which is why we invited both players back for a future game. Now prior to each show we have each player ring in to make sure we don't repeat that mistake.

@erikdraven1731 As for the whammy calling in, one of my friends called me (not realizing I was at a con) at that moment. I didn't actually answer the phone, but decided to play it up for laughs and get in my invite to Anime Central (an invite I wound up not being able to accept).

And to think the No-Looker spells disaster for luck pressers!

That was an awesome spin battle, as well.

So I see that I was not the first to have 2 players get 3 Whammies in the first round. (See Game 3 of my NYAF 2010 video.) And 8 total?! Error or no, that is an insane record. Only thing that would have made it worse is if, like me, one of the 3-Whammy players kept getting put on the spot before the round was over.
