If you win, you'll get showered in gifts and glory (and some more growling from me). If you lose, you've wasted your time.
























29403 picked 23.

Pfft, pointless.

I'll have square 15.

A minigame to play if you win...
























Right, I'll be in Italy until the start of next week, or longer if the volcanic ash cloud starts to get in the way of things again. And as you can probably have guesssed, this is another maths competition. You can reserve squares. But only ONE square each.

Bahahaha, you haven't seen this one before.

Thast's DOUBLE SQUEAL. Everything that anyone picks in the round from now on gets divided by 2. Good luck with trying to escape your massive negative score now. Ha ha.

4 buttons. One of them blocks the blammo. One of them kills off someome at random in the round. One of them kills off you. One of them puts you in a threshold situation.

Well well well.
Behind the buttons were...




So button 4 was ELIMINATE OPPONENT!
So one person out of UKM and 29403 will get automatically eliminated from this round at random!
Who is it?

UNKNOWNKIRBYMAN!!
He loses £40,000 from being blammo bombed, which is double squealed to a loss of £20,000, and then MULTIPLIED BY HIS GLORIOUS AV*MINUS 8 TO WIN HIM £160,000!!! So negative multipliers can actually do you favours! Who would have guessed that!!!
So... two players left in the round...
29403 next to pick!

WOW!!! Now here's something. With a score like yours you'll have to decide whether you actually want to win the round or not. The tricky dilemmas pile on. Bahahahaha. Good luck with actually trying to figure out your strategy here...

That looks very very suspiciously similar to this. To be honest it looks like he's trying to take over the internet with this game and failing at it.29403 wrote:I know Kieran Jupe. They're guys from the DOND forum, so... does it count?
I'll count it if it actually starts, which probably won't happen. I have no idea what that forum is anyway.
By the way, in case anyone hasn't noticed the very subtle change in the first post, fawk is hosting a game of RTaB right here on the Mark Watson fan forum. The main difference is that it's been scaled down to 0.1% of what it used to be. Heh.

Harsh, but true. Also, we don't play for cash, but for points. And we have different graphics, and different squares. And, um...different players? It's all quite different, so more of an adaptation of the game.
Typing those words "of the game" just then made me lose The Game. Damn.

Naming yourself "KJupe" on a forum when you're already known as KieranJupe elsewhere is failing at a disguise.
