Race to a Billion

[999_Springs]

And your next three boxes?

(The ones you've got left are 6, 7, 16, 21...)

[UnknownKirbyMan]

6,16,21.

[999_Springs]

Box 16 - 10p - The Banker has now by this point turned bright red in the face and appears like a volcano about to erupt in all its fury. Finding that, again, there are no more brooms in the broom cupboard, The Banker picks up the cupboard itself and tries to attack UnknownKirbyMan by flattening him with the cupboard. Obviously, such ambitious plans don't succeed.

Box 16 - £35,000 - Unsure how to react, The Banker puts the cupboard down, and starts trying to hypnotise UnknownKirbyMan to pick whatever box contains the £100,000 next. UnknownKirbyMan tells him to hypnotise the boxes instead for greater effect. The Banker threatens him with the cupboard again.

Box 21 - £50 - At this point The Banker's sanity has reached effectively new lows and the scream of terror that is released from his mouth echoes areound the studio together with howls of anguish from the remaining 200 other Bankers in complete disbelief at what is going on. In their combined anger, the Bankers start throwing tomatoes and brooms at UnknownKirbyMan, who hides behind the other side of the table.

"Beh-CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANGCLANGCLANG CLANG BANG BANG POW..."

"NOW LISTEN YOU!!" The Banker shouts into the telephone, barely able to contain his anger. "YOU JUST CANNOT HAVE A TIN-CAN VERSION OF CRAZY FROG AS A RINGTONE! IT IS THE MOST ATROCIOUS, HIDEOUS SOUND THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD! WILL YOU GET AN ORDINARY RINGTONE FOR ONCE?! ... ...

... What? No, no, no, no, no... er... WHAT!? NO! My back yard is NOT a rubbish dump! I AM NOT GOING TO LET YOU DUMP YOUR RUBBISH IN MY BACK YARD! JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE YOUR STUPID INSURANCE DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO TREAT MY PROPERTY AS A SKIP! STOP IT!!!"

The Banker turns to UnknownKirbyMan, and says, through gritted teeth,

"OK. The thing is that someone is dumping all this rubbish in my back yard because I didn't take his insurance and there's only one feasible way to get rid of it.

I'm now offering you, for your box...

SIXTY-THREE thousand pounds, 8 dirty banana skins, 7 smelly socks, 3-and-three-quarters car tyres, 174 flies, 57 dirty tissues, 9 rotten tomatoes, 14 disgusting nappies, and Ampersand's brains.

Oh, and, if you go on, you'll get to swap your box for Box 7 if you want to...

DEAL OR NO DEAL?

And... swap or no swap?"

Deal...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

[999_Springs]

*Cue music*

£63,000 will now be added to your score. The other weird stuff will be arriving in the middle of your back yard very shortly. Warning: The smell may overwhelm you.

Now let's see what was actually in your own box...

Box 2...

£50,000!

The other box, Box 7, contained the £100,000!

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

The 201 Bankers can no longer keep their anger under control. In disgust, they now start throwing the very smelly combination of 8 dirty banana skins, 7 smelly socks, 3-and-three-quarters car tyres, 174 flies, 57 dirty tissues, 9 rotten tomatoes, 14 disgusting nappies, and Ampersand's brains, all onto UnknownKirbyMan.

And so ends this show of Deal Or No Deal, with the cameras pointing at a big pile of rubbish all over the contestant...

...

...

I'll start your other minigame "Bomb The Penguin" tomorrow.

[999_Springs]

UnknownKirbyMan now plays "Bomb The Penguin".

It's simple enough. Sixteen squares. Fifteen bombs and one penguin. You have to find the penguin as quickly as possible. There is a top prize of £2,048,000 which halves every time you find a bomb.

Pick your squares four at a time, please, in the range 1 to 16.

16, 8, 1, 9.

[Rule]

I would like to rent that space for some advertising for me.... I'll give you a big dose of bad luck for Unknown here :)

[999_Springs]

I would like to rent that space for some advertising for me

OK. Simply post here the image that you would like to be advertised, and it will appear in the next board. Maximum dimensions are 48 x 288 pixels.

I warn you: It will cost £10 per pixel, which will be automatically deducted from your RTaB account at the start of Round 4.

16, 8, 1, 9.

No luck there...

You're now playing for £128,000. Pick four more numbers.

Sorry don't have that kinda money.

[UnknownKirbyMan]

2,3,4,5.

[EdoI]

I had my first bombing experience... Anyway, you have a free spot in the next round for me?

It's chosen at random.

I hate Ctrl-Del. Honestly.

[999_Springs]

I hate Ctrl-Del. Honestly.

Get your facts right. It's Ctrl+ALT+DOWN. And it's brilliant.

I had my first bombing experience... Anyway, you have a free spot in the next round for me?

There's a rule that no-one can take part in two consecutive rounds unless they won the first one.

2,3,4,5.

No luck there. You're now playing for £8,000.

[Rule]

8,000

Haha, wow, that's much! ;)

[UnknownKirbyMan]

7, 10, 13, 14

[999_Springs]

7, 10, 13, 14

Still no luck... looks like The Banker from Deal Or No Deal has played a curse on you. You're now playing for £500.

[UnknownKirbyMan]

6,11,12,15

[999_Springs]

Well that was quite remarkable. The penguin was in the very LAST square that you picked! Ha ha! What happened to all the luck that you had in Deal Or No Deal? Let's just say, The Banker ate it! HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Enjoy your SIXTY-TWO POUNDS AND FIFTY PENCE!!!!!!

I'll start Round 4 in a few hours.

[999_Springs]

Sorry for the delay. It seems that my computer has a certain allergy to chess.com. I've spent ages trying to get it to work. And still can't.

Round 4 starts...

...

NOW!

The players will be (in random order):

- Rule
- isaacx
- UnknownKirbyMan (For winning Round 3)
- Hoohah2x2sday

All four need to PM me a bomb placement (1-24) within the next 48 hours or I'll do it myself.

The blammo placement goes to bufar. Again.

New Round 4 Editions:
- Reformed the Immunity square
- Fixed some typos in first post
- Added Ignore List to "Random NReality" square
- The leaderboard is now in COLOUR! Go and see for yourself!

Just send me a PM containing a list of square numbers to pick from. I'll use your list when you're away.

[Edit: Never mind.]

[UnknownKirbyMan]

Square 12 for when it is my turn.

[999_Springs]

Square 12...

MINE FIELD!!!

OUCH!!!

First pick of the game and - an additional TWO MORE bombs have been randomly placed on the board - so there are now SIX bombs on the board! You really didn't want that!!

Hoohah2x2sday is next. He hasn't sent me a list of numbers so I'll skip his turn. If I don't get the list soon enough he's going to get timed out...
