She had no idea it would form those words, aside from the first two, as she had just picked some random letters. In fact, she first thought the fourth word was supposed to be bread. "Sea salt ice cream and cake?" she replied, unsure.
[Game Show Marathon Set] Cookie Masterson: That's real smart alright since you got it, Sirpa!
Katie reveals the remaining letters
Cookie Masterson: Well, you wanted this added to the Tournament Pot and You got it! $2,500!!! Cookie opens the Prize Envelope
(Audience Cheers) Cookie Masterson: Today is Your Lucky Day, Sirpa! Because you just added $2,500 to the Tournament Pot giving it a New Total of... $4,275! Prize Envelope: $2,500 =Tournament Pot: $4,275= Confetti starts being shot out everywhere. As the remaining Jennalla along with the 2 Semi Finalists & rush over to Celebrate their 4th Semi Finalist's Victory
Cookie Masterson: But wait, Sirpa! There's more! You also got $7,120 in Cash and Prizes & the Last Seat on Finalists Row! We're coming back to wrap things up for the Last Quarter Final Game when we return!
We see Cookie showing the $5,000 Bonus Cookie Masterson: So, Semi Finalists & Katie. Here's this Bonus Space that was introduced earlier. What do you think? On the Back Side, it says $5,000, while this is the Front Side.
I think its lovely. Bringing back something that was from 1990 to 1991 Daytime Wheel but turning into a Bonus Space for the Bonus Round.
Cookie Masterson: Sandybell, this may look like a Prize Wedge but its different than the Rest. Instead of just putting it into the inventory after making a correct guess and solving the puzzle to get the prize directly, you get to hold onto it until you win the game and bring it to the Bonus Round with you, like the Wild Card. Watch...
Cookie flips the Wedge over to the Back: Cookie Masterson: What do you think?
So, Sirpa, how does it feel to be a Semi Finalist alongside Taimi, Jennalla and Sandybell? Katie asked the Semi Finalist
*Post Game Closing 2* Cookie Masterson: Well... Daytime Wheel of Fortune lasted from 1975 to 1991 and the Nighttime Version is still continuing as of current.
Oh, that Narrator is here. Katie asked the Semi Finalist
The Guild Owner makes his cameo appearance. Guild Owner: Hello. Anyway, I got something to tell you. First off, great job on the Tournament. As we're down to the Final 4 Players. Be sure to bring along a friend as the Semi Finals are Team Based Games... Semi Finals Game 1 of 2 will be Taimi vs Sandybell in Nick Arcade. Semi Finals Game 2 of 2 will be Jennalla vs Sirpa in Finders Keepers. The Runner Up & Winning Teams from BOTH appear in Finals when we play Super Special Double Dare for both 3rd Place & Championship Matches...
The Narrator shows his Summer Attire Guild Owner: However, that is of course, after I return from my Vacation Trip. Since the Tournament will be Paused until then. I hadn't had a Proper Vacation last year in 2020. But I will be on via laptop to check in the IC.
In other words, the OOC Games section will be Offline or Paused until the Narrator returns from his trip while the Semi Finalists rest up for the Semi Finals when the Tournament resumes. Katie sighed.
Cookie Masterson: So, Sirpa. Were you surprised that one of the puzzles was talking about the Narrator? Since it sounds like he's heading for a Sunrise Beach Paradise?
Taimi, I hope that the Narrator enjoys his trip. Katie said to one of the Semi Finalists.
*Post Game Closing 3* Cookie Masterson: And to think someone would tell me that the Narrator asked me to use that Puzzle in this Tournament. (audience laughs at the joke.)
Most of the Puzzles are for fun in reality. The concept of adding a Speed Up Round Puzzle with a message to the Narrator going on a Trip is intended for Entertainment Purposes. That's what the Cue Cards says that that Narrator wrote down for me. So he's going to be away for 2 Weeks. I hope he has good time. Katie said as she cleared things up.
Cookie Masterson: That is indeed true. Sandybell, you almost got Jailtime Memory Challenge on the First Try in the Third Quarter Final Game, since you found the Stolen Loot and Warrant so quickly & that only happened once in the actual Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego PBS Show. Do you know what happens when someone does something like that since its a Rare Occurrence that only happened once in Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Cookie asked Sandybell
*Post Game Closing 4* Cookie Masterson: Well, you were lucky to find the Loot and Warrant on the First Try during the Quarter Final Game 3. But here's what can happen, that player not only gets to proceed to the World Map Round to catch Carmen Sandiego, but also gets a $100 Cash Bonus Prize as its hidden behind the 12 Remaining Memory Spaces in the Jailtime Memory Round & that player has 5 Attempts to find it. Once the player finds it, that player gets the $100 Cash Bonus. I guess the Narrator forgot to mention this since it was only a formality that fell out of use even though no one got the $100 Cash Bonus. After that episode where RoboCrook stole the Gateway Arch in 1991, the $100 Cash Bonus was forgotten which was 30 Years ago... Until now that is. Cookie explained to Sandybell
Jennalla asked a question. I wonder why it fell out of use after so long...
Katie guessed why. I have no idea. But its not been determined whether or not a Bonus Game in a Memory Round has a basis in a Fandom Sense. Sandybell, may have been close to attempting to do so.
Cookie Masterson: True, that Rare Occurrence happened before in 1991 and it could happen again. Sandybell, when the Tournament resumes after the Narrator's Vacation, do you hope to reach the Finals & play Super Special Double Dare for either 3rd Place or the Championship?
Since she didn't knew about it, she felt she didn't really attempt to do it. "Maybe?" she replied, unsure. It didn't really matter to her what place she ended up at.
*Post Game Closing 5* Cookie Masterson: Well, lets hope someone gets a shot at a Bonus Memory Challenge in an OOC Game of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego one day. Cookie explained to Sandybell
It could be sooner or later depending on what happens. Other than that, I hope everyone does their in their best in the Semi Finals to see who moves to the Championship Finals and 3rd Place Crown Finals.
I do have a question. What's Finders Keepers? I never heard of that game & some of us haven't heard of it before.
Guild Owner: Okay. Its sort of like an Picture Book such as I Spy where you would read the book which contain clues about an item you need to find in a picture such as Blocks, Toys, Buttons, just to name a few. Which is that Picture Book genre is called "Hidden Object". Each picture has several items in an illustration along with clues on what items to find. The Narrator said as he talked about Finders Keepers, a once forgotten Nickelodeon Children's Game.
Guild Owner: Of course. Anyway, for the next 2 weeks. My Summer Vacation, hopefully would feel like a Tropics Paradise. Not like last year when the majority was closed. They even have a Ice Cream Diner that makes Lunch & Dinner with Ruffle potato chips along with Orange Swirl Ice Cream too.
Sounds like a Sunset Paradise to the Narrator. I hope he has a fun time & that some of his favorite Tropic Places are Open.
And when he returns, we can continue the Tournament, hopefully. Katie added.
Cookie Masterson: Let's hope so. When the Narrator returns and continue the Tournament, Taimi will face off against Sandybell in the First Semi Final Game, Nick Arcade. Then Jellanna will play against Sirpa in the Second Semi Final Game, Finders Keepers. The Runner Ups & Winning Teams will proceed to play Super Special Double Dare in the Grand Finale of the Mermaid Princess Roleplay Guild's Second Birthday to see who takes home the 3rd Place Crown and who becomes the 2021 OOC Game Marathon Champion! So, have a Great 2 Weeks and we'll see you next time! Cookie said to the Viewers.
Bye for now! Katie said to the Viewers as the Last of the Quarter Final Games come to a close.

Narrator: Returning for more than 15 Years... THIS IS OOC GAME MARATHON!!! And here is our host, Cookie Masterson!
=Tournament Pot: $4,275=
Cookie enters the Game Show Marathon Stage with the Giant Monitor Doors closed. Cookie Masterson: Hello and welcome to the 2021 OOC Game Marathon! A way to wrap up the Second Birthday of the Mermaid Princess RP Guild's OOC PSA Event! The best way to do that is to pay homage to the most exiting form of Contest Entertainment that puts us all on the edge of our seats in the comfort of our homes... Television Games from Kids to Adults!
(Applause & Cheers)
Cookie Masterson: Today, Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego, Champion Taimi, will face off against Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Champion Sandybell Engdal for a spot in Super Special Double Dare. The other team for Super Special Double Dare will either be Jennalla or Sirpa who will face off in an upcoming Finders Keepers match. One thing for sure, the Finals will be Super Special Double Dare to see which Player takes home the Championship Cup & the 3rd Place Crown. Both Semi Finals & Finals are different, as the Semi Finalists have brought along a friend to be his or her teammate. But today, someone could add an additional $1,500 to the Tournament Pot. Now onto Semi Finals Game 1, a Game where the Champion Team gets to go inside of an actual Video Game akin to Super Mario Brothers...
(Applause & Cheers)
Narrator: Today, we go back to the Early 1990s and play "Nick Arcade"!
=Nick Arcade= The Game is played with 2 Players on each team. The Controlling Team is able to move Mikey the Video Game Adventurer on the Game Board in any direction on the game board: Horizontal & Vertical, but NOT Diagonally. As the Controlling team moves Mikey, the team will encounter 5 Key Spaces: Points, Puzzles, Prizes, Quizzes & the Video Challenge. However, there are Enemy Spaces as well. If the controlling team lands on an Enemy Space, that controlling team's turn ends and control of Mikey proceeds to the other team. All Questions in Round 1 are worth 25 & 50 in Round 2. The Team with the highest score after 2 Rounds will earn the right to enter the Video Zone to challenge the Game Wizard.
