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

2 people already bombed? That's fast. I select 3.

---

It can't be 3 in 3...can it?



Ooh, your boost has increased further to 240%. Bombs are now $600,000.







ROUND VIII

TikalFan9000 : $35,692,000 (240% Boost)
MRace2010 : -$200,000 [FRACTIONISER]
Chimaru : -$250,000
Max : -$375,000

MRace, you gonna let Tikal take all the money?

---

I'm gonna risk and pick 13.

---

Going with unlucky 13 is just begging for trouble, isn't it?



Oh...OK, it's decent money. You're out of the red!







ROUND VIII

TikalFan9000 : $35,692,000 (240% Boost)
MRace2010 : $125,000 [FRACTIONISER]
Chimaru : -$250,000
Max : -$375,000

Tikal, you've got $15m to go to take your place in the top 3. A pick of $6m or more will do it!

---

20/2 (10)

---

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:

---

OH SHIT
4

---

In 4...to stay in the game...



Very nice play!









ROUND VIII

TikalFan9000 : $35,692,000 (240% Boost)
MRace2010 : $125,000 [FRACTIONISER]
Chimaru : -$250,000
Max : -$375,000

MRace, it's your turn to fire up the board. You need a bit to save you from hitting the minus numbers if you bomb out, I feel...

---

I feel like going with 23 maybe?

---

For you, 23...



What!? The party's over so soon!? Unfortunately we are changing your plus to a minus, as your total is dropped to -$125k! Sorry.







ROUND VIII

TikalFan9000 : $35,692,000 (240% Boost)
MRace2010 : -$125,000
Chimaru : -$250,000
Max : -$375,000

If Tikal would have hit Split & Share and been eliminated, oh, you other three would have been feeling amazing, but it didn't happen, and lo and behold, he has won Round 8 in a surprisingly care-free manner indeed.

Now for bonuses:

- You get a $10,000,000 win bonus that is untouched by boosters.
- You get a $1,000,000 bonus for every remaining square, multiplied by your boosters. So...oh wow. It's 13 squares, at 2.4x, which makes $31,200,000! THIS is the power of bonuses!

So, your win bonus is $41,200,000! Jesus, I don't think this will be beaten in a LONG time...

You can now, if you like, put this money on the line, and open Square 99. This is a special square, in that there are 5 seperate squares inside, containing the following scenarios:

- DOUBLE: Your win bonus is doubled to $82,400,000!
- MONEY BACK: Your win bonus remains at $41,200,000!
- $25,000,000: Your win bonus becomes a flat $25,000,000!
- HALF: Your win bonus is cut in half to $20,600,000!
- $1: Your win bonus goes down to a measly dollar! But as a consolation, you do get a random Hidden Square for the next round.

Those are your possibilities for Square 99. You're currently $14.3m off the Top 3, and $27.9m off the lead, so it will be wise to give this one a good, hard think. Tikal...with a massive $41,200,000 currently in your hand...will you take the Square, or the Stash?

---

Wow. I'm worried about facing Tikal at this point.... And he's 4 years younger than me.

Dangit
I should've picked 22, why did I feel insecure about it? <.<

Gg Tikal, please get one dollar only *shot*

---

im gonna pick the square, for sure.

---

I have a feeling I should be doing some sort of evil ghostly laughter right about now... that was a really quick round, certainly!

---

The Square!? I was surprised when you took it with only $26m on the table. I hope it works out for you...but it's going to be unlikely...



So, a record $82.4 million rides on this. What are you going to do?

---

1

---

This is either brave...or foolish!



It's not the big pay day, but you are lucky to escape with your money intact!



So, with that solid block of moolah, you're currently on $76,892,000! Let's see how that's affected the scoreboards, then...



If you weren't Tikal, you had a nightmare round there, plummeting to the bottom, there. However, Tikal unsurprisingly is the new Race leader! But with a lead of only $13m, he can indeed be caught! With the next three players catch him out, or will he go for a third trip to Square 99? Let's find out soon, on Round 9 of Race To A Billion!

---

OMG I AM THE LEADER =D

---

I guess it is my round next. I am going to have to reserve some squares during this round unless it starts on friday because I do not have class.

Due to me being out for a convention, I'm going to be out on the Thursday through to the Monday, so I think it's probably a good time to take a week out.

Unfortunately, my brain is really not in the right place to host things at the moment. Until I get my shit together, I'm afraid I'm going to have to put this on hold for at least another week.

Sorry.
