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

Double 2...



Wow, you guys are just eating up the boost, aren't you? 2.3x you're on, with a bomb now causing $575,000 worth of damage.







ROUND IV

darkanine: $3,707,500 (160% Boost)
xRGTMx: -$375,000
DBHxgiga82: $20,605,000 (230% Boost, Mark Won, Digital Fortress)
Arrows&Beats: $6,750,000

So, darkanine, you're up next. Nine squares to go.

---

I'll take 8.

In 8...uh oh...



*SIRENS*

That sound means that somebody from the Gallery has given you a Blammo! That's right, you'll have to pick a button at random (they're not marked...which adds to the fun!) The buttons will contain the following:

- Block the BLAMMO! (nothing happens)
- Eliminates you (with the standard bomb penalty)
- Eliminates an opponent (with the standard bomb penalty)
- Decreases your prize money (by 2%) whilst putting you into a Threshold Situation (a bomb will knock 20% off your total)

So, to stay in the game...pick a number:

---

I'm scared.

I pick

You've blocked the BLAMMO! Incredible scenes.







ROUND IV

darkanine: $3,707,500 (160% Boost)
xRGTMx: -$375,000
DBHxgiga82: $20,605,000 (230% Boost, Mark Won, Digital Fortress)
Arrows&Beats: $6,750,000

Somehow, we're still playing! DBH, your turn next to strike!

---

Wow, I blocked it! Incredible scenes, indeed!

Let's go 11. This is making me nervous...

---

11? Let's open it...



Two minigames!? With a possible third from the Mark!? You are getting to be quite the hoarder! Yes, it's a minigame we've not seen before! If you win, that's two whole forays into unchartered territory!







ROUND IV

darkanine: $3,707,500 (160% Boost)
xRGTMx: -$375,000
DBHxgiga82: $20,605,000 (230% Boost, Mark Won, Digital Fortress, Split Decision)
Arrows&Beats: $6,750,000

Right, darkanine, the chips are very much down. 7 squares to go, let's see if we can add to your total.

---

*Audience cheers* My money is on you DBH, Continue...

Let's do 4, again. It brought me luck last time!

Let's have a look under 4!



It's not much, but it's money. $280,000 of it.







ROUND IV

darkanine: $3,987,500 (160% Boost)
xRGTMx: -$375,000
DBHxgiga82: $20,605,000 (230% Boost, Mark Won, Digital Fortress, Split Decision)
Arrows&Beats: $6,750,000

DBH, you're in, with 6 to go...

---

Let's balance this revealed pattern with 15.

---

Ah, I see the pattern. In 15...



Oh wow! With this square, you must invite a player into the game. This player can either be a player that has gone already, a player that was eliminated this round, or a player that is waiting to play. They do not place a bomb, but they can start earning money there and then.

So...you have a lot of power in your hands. Who do you want to give the gift of life to?

---

This is tricky because I'm pretty sure there are at most three bombs left barring that military aid cancelling one out. It would be cruel no matter who I picked at this point.

So...

Welcome back, Arrows&Beats.

---

Considering you said it would be cruel no matter who your brought back, Ryan's probably got you at the top of his Christmas card list right now.

Arrows is back in!







ROUND IV

darkanine: $3,987,500 (160% Boost)
xRGTMx: -$375,000
DBHxgiga82: $20,605,000 (230% Boost, Mark Won, Digital Fortress, Split Decision)
Arrows&Beats: $6,750,000

And look at that, it's his turn to pick. And this time I've got it RIGHT!

---

Thanks, DBH, glad to be back.



I'm gonna pick #5. I hope this doesn't end badly for me.

Ooh, this suddenly got a bit tight...in 5!



It's not much, but it's money.







ROUND IV

darkanine: $3,987,500 (160% Boost)
xRGTMx: -$375,000
DBHxgiga82: $20,605,000 (230% Boost, Mark Won, Digital Fortress, Split Decision)
Arrows&Beats: $7,075,000

Right, this has gotten a bit packed. 4 left, and there could be three bombs out there. Good luck, darkanine!

---

I'll take 13, but not without


Let's hope I win big this time

You're playing the Hidden Square, found in square 4! Let's read the manual and see what it says:


"This square is used at the point of selecting a square. It will make that square a randomly-selected gold cash square, regardless of its original contents, even if the square previously contained a Bomb."

So, let's spin the Wheel of Oni, and let's see what you win...



OH WOW! Multiply that out, and you just won $14.4 million. In one freaking square.







ROUND IV

darkanine: $18,387,500 (160% Boost)
xRGTMx: -$375,000
DBHxgiga82: $20,605,000 (230% Boost, Mark Won, Digital Fortress, Split Decision)
Arrows&Beats: $7,075,000

DBH ain't gonna like that...what are you gonna do? You have a lot to protect...

---

Wow! But don't forget to update my total. Nevermind, thank you!
