Race to a Billion

[Rule]

I'll go with square 22

[999_Springs]

Square 22...

Oh, and by the way, when I checked my board for square 22, I almost screamed and flung my chair back nearly to the other end of the room. I was THAT shocked.



It's another one of the joke squares!








And if you thought Ctrl+Alt+Down was bad...








MISS ALL OF YOUR GOES!!!!!

Ok, basically, what this means is that you're out for the rest of the round but you've also automatically won the round. How does that work? You'll find out later.

This round is already REALLY STRANGE. Even though only 2 squares have been picked.

MINE FIELD ACTIVATED

[EdoI]

Okay, a question:
Now that the game is played by picking more than one field, what if I want to take a square that has been already taken, but my pick would go earlier than the other player's? Example:

Player 1 chooses: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
I choose: 5, 8, xxxxx

Does number 5 in this case belong to me or the other player?

[29403]

It's a bit silly posting the same number after someone's already posted a number, so I can't imagine anyone doing that... Give me a case where that would happen.

Well, say I wanted to choose 5, but the previous player choosed 5, though his five would be play after three rounds and mine would be played in the next one.

[29403]

You're confusing me. No one would choose 5 after you chose it anyway.

And, I think issacx just croaked this round!

(He has been online. Somehow he didn't see this thread.)

The Current Situation: isaacx is timed out; Hoohah2x2sday is absent; Rule is still in but can't pick any squares. So, what does that mean?

It means that:

UNKNOWNKIRBYMAN MUST NOW PICK EVERY REMAINING SQUARE ON THE BOARD. That's 22 squares in a row.

Holy! This is surreal.....

[UnknownKirbyMan]

I do not like this. Does this mean I am going to lose no matter what happens?

For my squares. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,23,24.


Go ahead now.

[Rule]

Pay attention, I won this round when I picked the Miss All Goes square.
And, don't we only pick multiple ones when in a mini-game?

[999_Springs]

Square 1...

£3,000!

Not much...

we move on...

Square 2...

+50%!

A bonus if you win, but you're not going to, so that's pointless...

Square 3...

20p!

How do you like that!

Could buy you a lot of stuff! Like ... a PENCIL!

Square 4...








*PAUSE*









UH-OH.

If there was a joke square that could be WORSE than Ctrl+Alt+Down...

...

and WORSE than Miss All Of Your Goes...

...

it's this.











ALL VALUES MULTIPLIER TIMES MINUS ONE!!!!!

YOUR AVx IS NOW 1 TIMES -1 WHICH IS MINUS 1!!!!!

Let's see what that does.



Square 5...

Win Value *5!

...Nothing yet...

Square 6...

FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND!!!

OUCH!!!

Multiplied by your AV*MINUS ONE...

MINUS £400,000!!!

Not good for you... to say the least!

I can imagine you're in shock as you're reading this right now.

Right?

Well, it's about to become A WHOLE LOT WORSE.

Square 7...

All Values Multiplier +4!

Your AVx is now out of negative territory - it's now -1+4=3!

But...wait - what's that?

Square 8...

BOMB!!!!!!

...

That's MINUS £40,000 MULTIPLIED BY YOUR AVx3!

OUCH!!!

And you're out of the round...

(and Random 1 Million was behind the bomb. Ha, ha.)

...

(UnknownKirbyMan collapses to the floor)

... Rule wins the round and gets a win bonus of £120,000!

[UnknownKirbyMan]

I do not like that...

Put me in as soon as possible within the rules.

[Rule]

Wait, I'm in for the next round as well, right? Right?

[999_Springs]

I do not like that...

I'll tell you right now, that if you swapped square 4 with square 7 in your list of picks, you would be 2.72 MILLION pounds better off!

Wait, I'm in for the next round as well, right?

Right.

29403, could you host RTaB v1.1 Round 5? You've already got all the squares and everything. I'm going away for a week starting on August 30th, so I probably won't be able to host Round 5. And anyway, I don't like being in 4th, and I would like to get some more money.

Is that OK with you?

The players will be (in random order):

- bufar
- 999_Springs!!!!!
- Rule
- EdoI

and UnknownKirbyMan gets to place the Blammo.

[29403]

With pleasure!

EDIT: Set up. Can I add some hidden squares in?

Certainly.
