Race to a Billion

Dibs!

[EdoI]

Put into the title something like: "Sign ups!", or something else that'll make people who didn't play it look at the thread.

[999_Springs]

Excellent! The first round will start as of...

*PAUSE*

NOW!

[edit]
Right. Could someone explain to me WHY the board DOESN'T SHOW UP like it is supposed to do, and how I can make it show up!?!?

[re-edit] Solved - it's a question of dimensions.

[EdoI]

Square 10.

[999_Springs]

Now stand by... as we reveal the very first square of the very first round of RTaB v1.1!

Square 10 contains...

DOUBLE UP!

A minigame to play if you win (and if you're still here by then)!

Hopefully the board will show itself up this time...

AAAAAAAAARGH! What is wrong with the board!? Is it dimensions or something? It's 864 long and 192 high - what's wrong with that!? That was apparently what was wrong with it...

Square 12...

Ha hahahahaha. How appropriate for someone like you!

CALCULUS!!

Oh! So changing the dimensions DOES work! I'll edit my previous posts then - the gameboard is now 3x8, not 6x4.

Can I, er, join? I wasn't in v1.0 but this looks fun. If I am in, I automatically take part in the next round, right?

I also think in your first post you should elaborate where you've said "just like in v1.0" because some of us weren't in v1.0.

Why are the number on the board all mixed up? Anyway, I'll take #8.

[29403]

Bufar, is it possible to post in a readable colour for chrome, please?

Thanks.

[999_Springs]

Square 8...

RANDOM 100K!

Now... start the randomiser!

*insert random graphics here*
(hahaha)

£75,810!

That takes your score to the right side of zero!

Why are the numbers on the board all mixed up?

Because I like to mess with your weak minds! MUAHAHAHAHAHA! You should be grateful that the board squares don't move around the board during your picks! Hey, maybe I might do that later...

Excellent. You will be placed in Round 2. How did you manage to miss the original thread in all its 13-page glory?

I was on a forum hiatus. Or I just couldn't sit down long enough to read the first post :/

[Hoohah2x2sday]

I assume it's too late to play this round :P but count me in for the next if i can (?)

[Turiski]

I'm so glad this started again, even if the graphics sort of took a nose dive :P

Can I be in round 2

[999_Springs]

Hoohah2x2sday + Turiski: I'll sign you both up for round 2.

the graphics sort of took a nose dive

Yes, I'm using lousy old boring yucky flimsy Paint, for lack of time and motivation (amongst other things) to use anything else. At least it's reliable.

OK, I'll let you do that. I'll PM you shortly the two files which contain all the gameboard squares for you to edit.

Excellent. You've taken the last spot for Round 2.

Yes.
