Race to a Billion

[29403]

Ooh yeah.

[999_Springs]

29403 continues his plight in 2-D RTaBLand by opening square 0.9, but with the same sense of uneasiness as he had when opening square 1. Only this time, it feels just a little bit worse. He doesn't really know why, but he has a strange reluctance to open it. But he eventually does, to reveal that his original idea of the boxes being stacked on top of each other wasn't without credit. There is nothing, as he finds, inside the box. Except for...



Continue?

[ENT474]

I'd like to rejoin play, please. Sorry for dissapearing.

Edit: Wait a sec... hm...

What happened?

[大見解]

oh, and my "don't care" was reffering to my indifference whether it continued or not. I'm here to play, but if I don't play, oh well.

[29403]

Skip the hub bub, go straight with 5 picks please 999_Springs...

We might be able to play with 3 people if we only have 18 squares after all actually...

[bhz]

make that four.
im still here. just not on irc...no time. and im not available until monday.

[大見解]

4 people. round 25 soon hopefully.

[999_Springs]

(you can probably guess what will happen)

29403 opens square 0.8 to find

squarezeropointseven.png

(4.18 KiB) Downloaded 2180 times

which he then opens to find

squarezeropointsix.png

(2.34 KiB) Downloaded 2179 times

and then he opens that to find

squarezeropointfive.png

(2.2 KiB) Downloaded 2181 times

and then he opens that to find

(Yeah, you guessed it. He put it there, so what would you expect?)



(If you're wondering how a bomb can fit into a square smaller than itself, it just does. No explanation necessary.)

29403 loses £50,000 for bombing himself out but he gains £50,000 for being the last player left in the round with 0 squares remaining.

Here ends Round 24.

------------------





Alright, here's the situation. We don't have enough players to continue a full game of RTaB; the community's losing enthusiasm and the effects of that are even wearing off on me as well. So I can either drop the thread completely for a while or I can host a reduced (and slower) game that won't get anywhere close to a billion. Round 25 should be doable once bhz says he'll return so we get 4 players. I'll do that, and once that round finishes I'll then decide what to do with this thread.

I'll set up Round 25 soon enough, and it should be obvious who's in it.

[bhz]

i is back. round 25 can proceed.

[大見解]

surprised i didn't bomb out again.

[Pikman]

I'm still interested in playing, my priorities have just been ... elsewhere ... recently.

[999_Springs]

Square 8...

It's one of the new ones!

(well technically it isn't, but since the last time I put it in there nobody found it, it's sort of new...)



Impersonator!

Rules: bhz may, if he chooses, pick someone else to impersonate for the rest of this round. This means that he leaves this round with the money and other stuff he currently has, and he can choose another person who is not currently in the round to "impersonate". In other words, every square he picks will affect the account of the person he chooses to impersonate, and nothing happens to bhz's account. Bombing-out rules remain as normal. The person that bhz picks can be anybody not in the round, including any of the inactive people, but if he chooses me and does nasty things then I will EAT him - he has been sternly warned. However, before bhz chooses someone to impersonate, he must first take this quiz and be able to confidently get full marks in order to pick someone. Warning: The quiz is extremely difficult.

bhz doesn't have to impersonate someone if he doesn't want to, but that makes the game more boring.

Oh how predictable of you. Nice one. £50,000 lost and you're out. Heading towards negative a billion as you said you would. £60,000 was behind the bomb.
