Race to a Billion

[Pikman]

Square 18.

BOMB! Well, that was fast. £50,000 off your score, and you're out of Round 12; thanks for...playing?

isaacx is up next, if he's around.

If there is an opportunity at any point, I'd like to play.

Okay, you'll be in Round 13, which Zapmeister will be hosting. It'll have the winner of this round, you, ChrisE, and another randomly selected person.

[999_Springs]

I'll use my BOMB-SWITCH that 29403 gave me back in the good old days of Round 6 in September 2009 and reinstate myself. Thanks.

I'll take the square under the bomb.

Done. That bomb now moves to a new random square, and your £50,000 is returned.

I'll take the square under the bomb.

"Will the real square 18 please stand up?"

Not only did you survive fiery death, you gained a minigame for future enjoyment!

Now isaacx.

[29403]

Reserve 7, 14, 21. And where is my bomb?

[Pikman]

isaacx's status has now been downgraded to Inactive.
Reasons:
- Has not read my PM for starting this round, even by email or otherwise.
- Has not visited the forums since March 15, or posted since January 31.
- Is banned from #n, so is unable to find out about participation in this round in any other form.

Thus, I declare he is auto-bombed out of this round, but I'm not fining him anything. This is to let the round progress without too harsh of a penalty for me docking him 24 hours.

Reserve 7

DUDE! Now all of the money you gain/lose will be multiplied by EIGHT!
Isn't it ironic that Square 7 has AV+7 in it?

bufar.

[29403]

My next square will be a large sum amount.

Think positive!

[999_Springs]

Ok I'm going away until late on the 12th. It's another maths camp. They're just doing this to ruin my holidays. Well at least I get paid for doing this.

Reserve 24, 20, 10, 15, 5.

[Pikman]

I totally forgot about this thread for the last three days...and yet NOTHING HAPPENED.

bufar's had four days and hasn't posted. That's -£50,000 and a request timeout for him. Which means...

THIS ROUND IS PRETTY MUCH AUTOMATIC FROM HERE.

First, 999_Springs wanted square 24.



Ouch, now everything you pick will be multiplied by ZERO!

Next, 29403 reserved 14.



I'm afraid your optimism didn't pay off, but you still get £80 for your efforts.

And then 999_Springs reserved 20.



In essence, nothing for you. :P

And then 29403 called square 21.



Oh boy, you've hit the blammo! Pick a button to decide your FATE!

[29403]

Four.

[Pikman]

Four.

Um...okay. The BLAMMO has claimed another victim! That's £40,000 off your score, times 8 is £320,000!!! A huge amount of DEBT!

random.org decided the blammo button placements:

1 (Blue)


2 (Red)


3 (Green)


4 (Yellow)


Behind the blammo was...

Hahaha.

So, that's it. This round is, like, over already!

999_Springs has won another round, and takes with him a GIANT WIN BONUS of £140,000...

....times ZERO! Even worse, he has to carry that ridiculous AVx into Round 13 now!

(What again, guys. Only six squares even got picked this round, two people got autodestroyed for inactivity, and the round went pretty much on autopilot until 29403 blew himself up. What.)

999_Springs would play Hit 15 here, but it's up to him whether he just wants to play it for the lolz or not because he won't get anything from it anyway.

29403, I just realized I forgot to add your £80 in my last post to the < This Round > label, so I did it just now.

Regardless, the players in Round 13 will be ChrisE, guy_zap, 999_Springs, and one randomly selected person (once I find out who is still active).

[29403]

Not that it makes any difference

Maybe I could host and you could play, or something?

[Pikman]

This likely isn't going to start until the 12th anyway. Plus, positions are still semi-random.

[999_Springs]

Back.

Grrrrrrr, zero multiplier.

I won't bother with Hit 15.

Oh, and 29403, *EDNA KRABAPPEL LAUGHTER* to you.

[Pikman]

999_Springs, I was planning to start Round 13 tomorrow, but 29403 has offered to host. Should we let him?

I need a break as well...just got hit with stuff irl this week.

[999_Springs]

Well ok. 29403 hosts this round then.

[29403]

I must prove to 999_Springs that I'm a good host, or he'll soon be flushing his 29,403rd spring down his toilet.

Who'll be the next player, anyway?

[Pikman]

Apparently isaacx left forever. So that leaves:

PEOPLE THAT CAN FILL THAT SPOT:

- EdoI
- UnknownKirbyMan
- Hoohah2x2sday
- Rule
- Pikman
- jinxed_07

Everybody in that list is active enough to play. Pick one at random.

[29403]

The random number is 4.

The fourth person in the randomly generated list is...

1. - Pikman
2. - jinxed_07
3. - Hoohah2x2sday
4. - UnknownKirbyMan
5. - Rule
6. - EdoI

And for once in my life, the blammo will be placed by me!

[Pikman]

Oh yeah, one other note. I finally figured out how to make Ctrl-Alt-Down work with these squares, but it takes forever to do. Know that if you put that square in the board, be prepared for about a solid half-hour of image editing every time there's a change made to the board.

Unless you're nice enough to upload the squares, which I doubt.

[29403]

Dang, my space has ran out.

Then again, I haven't deleted my pointless messages from Awesome57 or whatever number it was. :|

[999_Springs]

29403: Well my inbox space has ran out a bazillion times already from bomb placements from earlier rounds and a LOT of other random stuff. Pikman I still blame you for sending me 7 PMs in a row.

Pikman: With ctrl+alt+down I think the best strategy is to take a screenshot of the board and invert it in Paint and then upload the whole board to an image hosting site that isn't imageshack. You'll have to do that every time but I still think that's faster than waiting for 29403. 29403 I still blame you for being so slooooooooooooooow.

[999_Springs]

Square 14.

[29403]

He likes salad.

Well, let's begin round 13 of RTaB. And to start... Square 14.

IT'S A BOMB!
































Nope, no penguin. :(


Well, all you lose is your AVx0...

For the rest of you, as the posh examiner states, you may commence.

[999_Springs]

Pfft. First time I've EVER been bombed since RTaB v1.0.

WHO DID THAT!?

[29403]

Can't tell you till after the round... HAH!
