Now you're losing money as well! Wrong direction, pal.

Fundamentally it's way too easy to reach minus one billion in this game, but I think it's a cool race idea. Who will be the first to reach +/- £1,000,000,000?

bhz up next.

[bhz]

13?

[Pikman]

~ bhz - Square 13 ~

You get...the opposite of everyone else. Doubled to £100,000. Pretty good.

bufar again.

[bufar]

I'll take #9.

[bhz]

so...what happens if bufar finds all the other BOMBs and the BLAMMO? the remaining people all win?

[999_Springs]

I'll take #9.

EAT BOMB!!

Oh wait, you've got immunity. DAMMIT

[bufar]

I hope that I don't hit all the bombs, but I also think I may have taken out my own.

Is yours really on #9, 999_Springs?

[Pikman]

~ bufar - Square 9 ~

Is yours really on #9, 999_Springs?

Yup. But again, your immunity voids its effects. WILL THE REAL SQUARE 9 PLEASE STAND UP?

...XD. Now all the money you get is multiplied by ZERO! And you can't undo that unless you find another AVx modifier or get blammo boom'd! (evil laugh here)!!!

so...what happens if bufar finds all the other BOMBs and the BLAMMO? the remaining people all win?

Yeah. We just keep going until all the squares are picked. Anyone who wins gets a split win bonus; see Round 10's outcome.

Also, I can assure you there definitely isn't a Miss All Goes square in this round, like that one had.

999_Springs is next.

[999_Springs]

Heh heh. Square 21.

£148,041.39 is the difference between the scores of me and 999_Springs.

bufar's up.

[bufar]

I want #15.

[Pikman]

~ bufar - Square 15 ~

Well.

I absolutely cannot see the £500,000 square right now for some reason. And since I'm using Failternet Explorer SIX, I can't grab the link to it either. Suffice this to say that the square I'm trying to post is £500,000, but you really get...nothing.

NEVER TRY TO MAKE THESE POSTS IN IE 6

errrrr....ouch? that's the 666th reply in this topic :O

[999_Springs]

Heh, I remember IE6. Using it was like trying to have a deep conversation with a giant rectangular chicken from outer space that only speaks Saturnian and Martian. Yes the £500k isn't working for me either. IMAGESHACK SUCKS. You might find this square useful:

Errr. This round sucks. Square 6.

[Pikman]

WHAT THE HELL?! 18 squares are broken now! FRUSTRATION!

I'll take #24.

Another post from IE6 here, let's see how this one goes. All of you posted, but I'll only do two squares to not rush things.

~ bufar - Square 24 ~

£12,000

Your money is in another castle, because £12,000 times 0 is still £0.

Okay, now I see why this round sucks. You're not in it anymore! Heheh. Also, that'll be £40,000.

Also, now all the bombs are gone so either the game comes down to the blammo, or we have co-winners. WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN?!?!

[bufar]

I guess it's my turn again so I'll take #14. If that was bhz's pick then go with #20.
