Race to a Billion

[ENT474]

[999_Springs]

Square 2...



Here we go!!

There are 4 buttons. Pick one of them to lead you to your inevitable fate. One of them blocks the blammo. One of them eliminates someone else in the round. One of them eliminates YOU. One of them puts you in a threshold situation.

The choice is yours. Pick carefully or else you might get thrown out of the round at very high speed and land very hard.



Go.

Darn this blammo. 3.

[999_Springs]

Oh, the tension.




ENT474 gets eliminated from Round 18!!!

And in quite spectacular fashion too. Self-blammo bombed with only two people left.




Well after all that, it only leaves bhz in the round, and he gets his WIN BONUS! Which is £130,000 miltiplied by his WV*2 and AV*2 to £520,000, which puts him into positive territory again.

Oh, and there's his +50% which I thought would render his score more negative. Turns out I was mistaken. Bleh. That's another +£60,000.

IMAGESHACK SUCKS. THREE OF THE SQUARES DON'T LOAD. GRRR.

[bhz]

what about the minigame?

[Pikman]

Oh yeah, 999_Springs. If random.org puts you in a round, I can host it now that I'm off vacation. Also, Speed Cash has never been played in the history of RtaB so you can totally make up the top prize and the value scaling.

TO THE PLAYERS: Tell us if you're going to be gone! If you're leaving BEFORE a round starts, tell the host and he will replace you with someone else. If you're leaving DURING a round, you can send a pick list via PM to the host so play can continue. (Include a blammo button pick in case an issue arises.)

[999_Springs]

bhz plays SPEED CASH (his minigame) after I finally got bothered to doing this.

Here's the old v1.0 description. There are 24 squares, of which two contain and two contain and two contain and two contain and sixteen contain and bhz keeps picking squares to try and spell "cash" with the letters as quickly as possible.

I'd normally ask for him to give squares four at a time like with most minigames but since bhz has been bothering me on IRC about this EVERY BLOODY FIFTEEN MINUTES FOR TWO DAYS, I'm going to get this all over and done with and ask for a list of 24 square picks in order. Go.

21, 16, 24, 4, 8, 23, 14, 22, 10, 1, 5, 15, 11, 7, 2, 12.






You got an A, S, and H in the first five picks but you had to wait so long to finally get that C. Shame.

Here's the paytable: (Just done on instinct, I might change it)

4. £10,000,000
5. £5,000,000
6. £2,000,000
7. £1,000,000
8. £750,000
9. £500,000
10. £300,000
11. £200,000
12. £150,000
13. £100,000
14. £75,000
15. £50,000
16. £30,000
17. £20,000
18. £15,000
19. £10,000
20. £5,000
21. £1,000
22. £0
23. MINUS £1,000,000

16 picks is £30,000, multiplied by your AV*2 to £60,000. You have £240,000.

[999_Springs]

999_Springs wants in Round 19, so the first one out of 29403 and Pikman to respond to my PM gets to be host.

Players:
- 999_Springs
- bufar
- fawk
- bhz

And EdoI was supposed to place the blammo but I don't know where he is and since nobody else bombed out last round then the host lets random.org decide instead.

[999_Springs]

Pikman got it.

Heh, you know what to do now. I'll just sit back and watch.

(Wait, WHAT? 250KB!? What the hell.)

[Pikman]

I got all the bombs within 48 hours; impressive. The blammo was placed by random.org.

First pick starts the game.

Square 22.

Great pick, but it isn't yours. random.org says the immunity really goes to bufar. So, bufar, enjoy your bomb-proof-ness and be sure to thank Count Zap!

[fawk]

No, you have to edit the first post.

Following up Immunity, we have...a minigame! You get to play it if you win the round, and the rules for it are in the old thread.

fawk to pick next.

Random Edit: I've STILL posted more in Insomnicon than I have here?!

[fawk]

Uno.

[大見解]

Uno.

bhz just picked that..

[fawk]

/me is paying attention.

Okay, Seven.

[bufar]

To save time, I'll post my pick (square #19) now.

[Pikman]

~ fawk - Square 7 ~

Well...that's a great start. I'm afraid you are another £50,000 in the negative and out of Round 19.

~ bufar - Square 19 ~

Two bombs in two picks, huh? But you actually picked up Immunity, so you dodge the bomb and really get the square under it. Which is...

...not that great either. Enjoy having your new income exclusively halved.

I'm playing RtaMB - Race to a Minus Billion.

[999_Springs]

Blehhh, stupid immunity square.

Square 8.

fawk: You've got stiff competition there from 29403.

Pikman: "Most active topic" in profile doesn't count posts in the pie forum anymore after post count got disabled in that forum last year.

[fawk]

I'll take him down. Or, up. Whatever.
