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

13, eh? Is it unlucky for you?



The champion has fallen! Wow, after two and a bit mammoth rounds, you've finally hit a bomb. A pretty hefty penalty of $850,000, but trust me, that lead is going to take some beating!







ROUND V

bmhedgehog: $275,000 (Threshold Situation: $55,000)
Spirit of Nightmare: $1,100,000 (IMMUNE)
ledgam3r1279: $14,350,000
DBHxgiga82: $61,455,000

And then there were three. Right, bm, your Threshold Situation still means that bombing won't be that costly, but still, let's try to avoid it, eh?

---

Spirit might be the winner in this round, Continue.

Well bm, I guess you got your wish.
In case that was yours...

---

If Spirit somehow lands on two bombs this round, then two players (him and someone else) will move on to round 6. Maybe even 3 if fate feels generous.

Well that was sweet poetic justice on me, but thank you for making my day I was depressed about Iwata-San's death. I had a feeling # 13 was too tempting for anyone to pass up, but didn't expect you so soon.


Oh so now you make a prediction.


There's that wicked sense of humor again. got to love it.

any who back to the game at hand.

Well after seeing #11 and # 17 had very good cash in them so let's hope this trend continues and there are no bombs under # Please.

#16? Let's see what's there...



A new minigame! Survive this round and we'll be playing it!







ROUND V

bmhedgehog: $275,000 (Threshold Situation: $55,000, Bin It Or Win It)
Spirit of Nightmare: $1,100,000 (IMMUNE)
ledgam3r1279: $14,350,000
DBHxgiga82: $61,455,000

Spirit of Nightmare, your time is now. The selections are slowly running out...

---

whoo dodged the bullet!

I'm actually going to activate a powerup here:


And which square? Obviously number 11.

---

Spirit of Nightmare; cheekiest player ever?

---

SOMEONE ACTUALLY USES THEIR COPY/PASTE!

This was picked up by Nightmare on Square 10, there. So, now you've got Immunity, and...



And so you've jumped up to 6th!







ROUND V

bmhedgehog: $275,000 (Threshold Situation: $55,000, Bin It Or Win It)
Spirit of Nightmare: $11,100,000 (IMMUNE)
ledgam3r1279: $14,350,000
DBHxgiga82: $61,455,000

led, you've gotten company, there! Can you lose him?

---

Spirit of Nightmare will CLEARLY win this round.

---

Once again, Spirit of Nightmare will of course win unless he fails to choose a square in time 2 times, but there might be ANOTHER winner, should Spirit of Nightmare clear off at least two bombs for ledgam3r or bmhedgehog. He can't be blown up, only blammo'd or disqualified. The happiest ending could be if Spirit of Nightmare got all 3 remaining bombs. (On the other hand, it would unfairly prevent ohaiimian and hooky from playing for another round.)

Placing bets on bmhedgehog being the second half.

Good thing the powerup wasn't called "Cut/Paste" instead, or else I would be really mad. XD

Oh boy, this is starting to get tense; uhh . . . 13 had a bomb, so 12 can't have a bomb, can it?

---

That ain't how probability works, led! Anyway, does 12 have anything nice in?



Ooh! Right, what goes on here is that you get to see EVERY square remaining in the grid (of course, you don't know where they are). Hidden squares remain hidden. Here comes the list, everyone:

BOMB
BOMB
TAX MAN
-$50,000
$250,000
$275,000
$450,000
$2,000,000
$8,000,000
THE COLOUR OF MONEY
FRACTIONISER

So, we only have two bombs left! It's a board that does things by twos, this: 2 bombs, 2 bad squares, 2 million-dollar+ squares, and 2 minigames remaining.







ROUND V

bmhedgehog: $275,000 (Threshold Situation: $55,000, Bin It Or Win It)
Spirit of Nightmare: $11,100,000 (IMMUNE)
ledgam3r1279: $14,350,000
DBHxgiga82: $61,455,000

I'm sure you can breathe a little sigh of relief knowing that you've got fewer bombs out there, bm. Can you capitalise?

---

Okay with this list I've came to 2 different conclusions... 1) I wasn't the only one who set a bomb in #13 or 2) out of the remaining boxes there are 2 bombs in one box (meaning 2 people picked the same box to plant their bombs). Now this is very useful info.

Plus the info I gained from the Ask The Host lifeline... I'm going to pick # and hope for the best. Please.

Revealing where your bomb was? That's risky. I do hope it doesn't come back to burn you. In 20 tonight...



Well, this is getting interesting! Your money is rather low, but if you were to survive the round, you'd now have TWO minigames to play!

BOMB
BOMB
TAX MAN
-$50,000
$250,000
$275,000
$450,000
$2,000,000
$8,000,000
FRACTIONISER







ROUND V

bmhedgehog: $275,000 (Threshold Situation: $55,000, Bin It Or Win It, The Colour of Money)
Spirit of Nightmare: $11,100,000 (IMMUNE)
ledgam3r1279: $14,350,000
DBHxgiga82: $61,455,000

So, Spirit. Only two bombs left, so the Immune isn't quite as all-consuming as it could be. However, this DOES mean that no square can eliminate you. Just play the round out, and don't time out. Easy, eh?

---

Umm didn't I already revealed that it was my bomb?


Anywho that is enough out of me. Back to the game at hand, so I may contemplate on my next move.

It seems like the only bad square for Spirit is TAX MAN, since we don't know what he does. A percentage of your money is surely taken away, though.

I'm kinda wanting someone to pick it. Not in a misanthropic way, but because he's a new character so I can be a snide bastard whilst pretending to be him. I don't have any other characters like that...yet.

---

Well... I hope the one who the Tax Man will say hello to won't be me... anyway, number 5!
