Race to a Billion

[fawk]

Why would Round 15 be pointless? And can I be in it? I want to make my score positive.

[29403]

13.

[999_Springs]

Square 13...



Double squealed to fifty thousand.

Advance Warning: Round 15 will be TOTALLY POINTLESS!!!!

fawk: Round 15 will be totally pointless... wait until you see what's in it. However, you know that players for each round are chosen totally at random so if you want to be in it then you'll just have to hope that random.org will swing in your favour.

[29403]

Reserve 21 for me

Oh yes, of course they are. I'll shush now.

[Pikman]

I'll go square 10.

[999_Springs]

Square 10...



Wow, all your hard work in building up that AVx has been demolished in one fell swoop. Ha ha.














29403 picked 21.



Double squealed to minus ten thousand. But anyway, your bad luck continues...

Pikman up next again. Hey, I didn't even have to change the topic title.

[Pikman]

16, please.

[999_Springs]

Square 16...



Twelve and a half thousand added to your score. Finally you get some cash for this round instead of fiddling about with silly minigames and multipliers.

I suppose I might do something with RTaB in the president's lounge thingy once I get the hang of how it works.

[29403]

8.

[Pikman]

I'll take square 5 after him.

[999_Springs]

Square 8...



Hey, this is a new one. Pikman gets three picks.


















Pikman's first pick was 5.



WOW! First really big cash square of the round. Too bad it's halved and you don't have that multiplier anymore. But you're now 7th.

Pikman to pick twice more.

[Pikman]

Okay, I'll go 2 followed by 20.

Nice pick, 29403 :P

[29403]

Well, since I've got no chance of going into the positive, I'm officially aiming for minus a billion. :P

That +60% really will help.

[Pikman]

To me, that's both a "Damn, I must've picked a bomb" and an "Oh yeah, 60% for you!"

At least there's Double Squeal.

[999_Springs]

Wow. That... is... unbelievable.

The moment I start thinking this is going to be a low-value round, you just turn the whole round on its head and even come very close to my score. I'll have to watch out for you now!

Square 2 had

and square 20 had

which, after the double squeal, takes you to over £1.9 MILLION!!

29403 next. What does he have to play for now?

[29403]

11? Hopefully a negative amount.

[999_Springs]

Square 11...

Yep.

You guessed it.

[21:21:01] <Zapmeister999> ok, 29403, you just lost £15,000 by the way

Note: I can confirm that there's nothing on the board left worth taking now after Pikman stole all the goodies.

[Pikman]

Square 6. I'm worried, three bombs left?

[999_Springs]

Square 6...



Well, your good luck didn't last... That's £45,000 off your score! Thanks for playing!

(£5,000 was behind the bomb)

What were the other squares?

3 - Minefield
7 - Bomb
17 - 1p
22 - Bomb






Now. 29403 "wins" the round, gets a win bonus of £50,000 plus £5,000 for each remaining square making £70,000, halved to £35,000, and added to his score. Then, here comes the big moment...

His score has 60% added to it, thereby making... £ MINUS 982,268.80!!!

Well that's it for R14. 29403 now has both the Edna Krabappel Laughter and Evil Laughter tags attached to him. Got to go, Round 15 starts tomorrow, and it will be totally pointless. You have been warned.

[999_Springs]

Ooookaaay! Here comes the long-awaited Round 15!

The players are:

- fawk
- Rule (semi-active at best)
- jinxed_07 (rejoining, apparently, despite not being here for a month)
- 29403 (For "winning" Round 14)

and Pikman places the blammo. 48 hours to you all.

And as a celebration for my mod promotion I'm going to be all evil like a moderator is supposed to be and fill the whole board with pointless squares that will mess with your weak minds and make you all squirm. Bahahahaha.

Dang, my space has ran out.

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

I thought that was reasonable until I realised that mods get 6.62 TIMES more mailbox space than non-mods. How the heck did you manage to fill THAT up!?

[999_Springs]

Yeah, I left this community like 300 years ago, I'm not competing anymore man ;)

Rule is now officially inactive. His replacement was decided by random.org as Hoohah2x2sday.

[999_Springs]

Wow, quadruple post.

jinxed_07 still isn't here but I'll just let him have his full three days before projecting him off to oblivion. Hoohah2x2sday has checked the forums but hasn't responded to my PM so I'll keep him in as active although both of their bomb placements will be randomised.
