Race to a Billion -EVOLUTION- [ROUND 10] (Sign Ups Closed)

With about 2 hours left on the clock, you pick number 5...


OH NO! You have the unenviable honour of being the first to bomb out in this series! I'm afraid you're out of the round, and thanks to that booster, that's cost you $475,000. Ouch. When you come back, your booster will reset to 100%.

You're not out of the game, you will come back in a later round, but for now...thanks for playing!







ROUND I

Quickman: $700,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $474,999
OrangeRight: $0 (170% Boost)

Cowtao, you need a shiny dollar to take the lead. Can you do it?

---

13

---

Unlucky 13? That's very much placing your tongue on the mousetrap, isn't it? In 13...


No dollar, but it's a new square! The lowest ranked player in the round (OrangeRight) gets to dump an extra bomb into the grid. So there's as many as four bombs left in the game! OrangeRight, if you could send me a PM with another bomb placement quick, that'll be grand.







ROUND I

Quickman: $700,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $474,999
OrangeRight: $0 (170% Boost)

And, as luck would have it, Orange is up next. Still looking for some money...

---

I'll choose 16.

---

In 16...


New square! If you win a minigame this round, even if you are eliminated, you still get to play it!







ROUND I

Quickman: $700,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $474,999
OrangeRight: $0 (170% Boost, FAST FORWARD)

Back to Quickman now. Surely we're going to get some big cash soon...

---

I'll use the bonus square I got for picking number 2.

---

Oh god, this is looking interesting so far
Can I join too?

---

Could I also sign up? This looks like fun...

---

Of course you can, the first Hidden Square of the game! Remember, every cash value has a 10% chance of a Hidden Square appearing. Right, in the Bonus Bag, we've got 4 rather nice things on offer for you. One is a minigame, one is a 7-figure cash value, one is a booster, and one is a lucky dip. So, pick a number from one to four, and we'll see what you've won...

---

I got it by picking number 2, so I'll pick number 2 again and hope that it's just as kind.

---

In #2...



A nice little earner there. You're the first millionaire!
And for those playing along at home, here's what else was in the bag...



It's hard to say whether or not you made the best choice, with that new minigame tantalisingly there, but it's a very good pick regardless!







ROUND I

Quickman: $3,700,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $474,999
OrangeRight: $0 (170% Boost, FAST FORWARD)

Cowtao, we can't let Quickman get all the cash now, can we?

---

8

---

Ah, #8. The one that in French sounds like 'wheat'. Will you be making dough(HA!) today?



ARGH! It's still not raw cash, but everything you get now has a 1.4x multiplier!







ROUND I

Quickman: $3,700,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $474,999 (140% Boost)
OrangeRight: $0 (170% Boost, FAST FORWARD)

OrangeRight, SURELY someone has to get some money?

---

I'll try 17.

---

17...please be money....



OH, COME ON. 85k in the red there :/







ROUND I

Quickman: $3,700,000
DDR Addict: $-475,000
Cowtao: $474,999 (140% Boost)
OrangeRight: $-85,000 (170% Boost, FAST FORWARD)

Quickman, you've lucked out rather handsomely so far. Will it continue?

---

Number five is a bomb, number FOUR can't be a bomb... right?

---

Can 4 be a bomb?



Ooh, you're going to make someone else's day today! You can grant immunity to any player currently in the round (and no, you can't pick you). This means that, for this round, if they hit a bomb, literally nothing will happen to them. They CAN be eliminated through other methods, such as timing out, but bombs will have no effect on them.

So, who do you grant with the gift of eternal life (for Round 1)? Cowtao, or OrangeRight?

---

Well, Cowtao has more money, but OrangeRight has the minigame... I'm having Mario Party flashbacks.

Since I'm three million ahead of everyone, I'll give it to Cowtao as I really don't know what that minigame could be worth...

---

That's not a minigame, that's a guarantee that they'll play one if they have it and are eliminated.

Do you still want to give it to Cowtao?

---

If that's the case, 21 please.
