RACE TO A BILLION - REBIRTH - ROUND 28 [SIGNUPS WELCOME]

Have you been able to survive for another day...



Mais non! Your games have gone bye-bye.







ROUND 1

Quickman: $1,965,000 (180% Boost, Digital Fortress)
FoRCeDNaTuRe: $5,750,000
Spirit of Nightmare: $2,450,000 (105% Boost, Fractioniser, Split & Share: $367,500)
Artyomich: $1,050,000

And then there were two. Spirit vs Quickman. Spirit, you're up first. Where are you going next?

---

Number 26

---

A smart move going there, I'd reckon? In 26...



A nicely chunky amount, there, which becomes $577,500. Your bomb penalty is sliiiightly increasing though.







ROUND 1

Quickman: $1,965,000 (180% Boost, Digital Fortress)
FoRCeDNaTuRe: $5,750,000
Spirit of Nightmare: $3,027,500 (105% Boost, Fractioniser, Split & Share: $454,125)
Artyomich: $1,050,000

Quickman next. I WONDER WHERE HE IS GOING.

---

In an absolute shocker, I'm going with the only space I pretty much guarantee won't shitmix me fully, and hit 30.

---

There could be something nasty here...like a Blammo! It would really, REALLY suck if there was one there...



Oh my! $5.4 million in one square! You're in the lead!!







ROUND 1

Quickman: $7,365,000 (180% Boost, Digital Fortress)
FoRCeDNaTuRe: $5,750,000
Spirit of Nightmare: $3,027,500 (105% Boost, Fractioniser, Split & Share: $454,125)
Artyomich: $1,050,000

Oh my, the row is gone, and now the danger zone is back again. Nightmare, you are dicing with death. It's likely that there are two bombs there, and only five squares to pick. The odds are with you...just. How long can we hold out?

---

Square 6

---

Brace yourselves, this could be a big one...


You’re still alive! And you have another minigame!







ROUND 1

Quickman: $7,365,000 (180% Boost, Digital Fortress)
FoRCeDNaTuRe: $5,750,000
Spirit of Nightmare: $3,027,500 (105% Boost, Fractioniser, The Colour of Money, Split & Share: $454,125)
Artyomich: $1,050,000

We are getting VERY close now. Quickman, you survive this, and you really put the pressure on.

---

SHIIIIIT. We're going with 4.

---

We are dicing with death here. The odds of bombing out are at most 50%...we're going to open 4. Are you still alive?



HE'S STILL IN THE GAME!! With Marked For Death, you choose a player, and if they're eliminated, you get a bonus at the end of the round! It's trivial to ask who it's going to be, so let's continue onwards.







ROUND 1

Quickman: $7,365,000 (180% Boost, Digital Fortress, Spirit of Nightmare Marked for Death)
FoRCeDNaTuRe: $5,750,000
Spirit of Nightmare: $3,027,500 (105% Boost, Fractioniser, The Colour of Money, Split & Share: $454,125)
Artyomich: $1,050,000

Jesus, we are now in the endgame. Two bombs potentially still up there. This could be a win-or-lose choice, Nightmare. Tread carefully.

---

So I've just been Mark'd, eh? Oh well, number 8

---

The final three, as close as the game can get. What a round it's been, with 27 squares taken down, and we go for #8. Have you survived? Are you about to make Quickman a lot richer?



YOU ARE STILL ALIVE!!







ROUND 1

Quickman: $7,365,000 (180% Boost, Digital Fortress, Spirit of Nightmare Marked for Death)
FoRCeDNaTuRe: $5,750,000
Spirit of Nightmare: $3,237,500 (105% Boost, Fractioniser, The Colour of Money, Split & Share: $485,625)
Artyomich: $1,050,000

So, Quickman. I don't think that you thought it would come to this, did you? Allow me to use some appropriate music.

For you, my friend, this is all about belief. You CAN still win this IF and only if someone placed their bomb on an existing bomb. It's possible. Not likely, but possible. So, take a nice deep breath, the choice rests with you. 17 or 19?

Do you feel lucky?

---

Being down on two squares where at least one of them is a bomb... have we ever gone that far in a round? This might be a first...

---

This situation happened to me pretty much exactly, last time I played. Let's go with 17, then.

---

Before I reveal the square, I have to tell you...

...there WAS at least one repeat number for a bomb.

---

It's fucking 17 isn't it

---

I bet it's 19, which I have to stay with should you survive, Quickman

---

I'm also afraid to say...



You picked the wrong one. I'm so sorry.







ROUND 1

Quickman: $6,915,000 (180% Boost)
FoRCeDNaTuRe: $5,750,000
Spirit of Nightmare: $3,237,500 (105% Boost, Fractioniser, The Colour of Money, Split & Share: $485,625)
Artyomich: $1,050,000

---

IT HAPPENED AGAIN. JUST CAN'T GET THROUGH ONE OF THESE.

---

So, Spirit of Nightmare! You SOMEHOW avoid the Split and Share, and you have won Round One! Let's work out your bonuses.

- You get a $10,000,000 win bonus that is untouched by boosters.
- You get a $1,000,000 bonus for every square remaining plus booster. That's 1 at 105%, so you get $1,050,000.

So, your win bonus is $11,050,000! Here comes the fun...

You can now, if you like, put this money on the line. The $3,237,500 you previously won, your minigames and booster are all safe. Nobody can take them from you. You can risk to give your win bonus back, and open Square 99. This is a special square, in that there are 5 seperate squares inside, containing the following scenarios:

- $25,000,000: Your win bonus becomes a flat $25,000,000!
- DOUBLE: Your win bonus is doubled to $22,100,000!
- MONEY BACK: Your win bonus remains at $11,050,000!
- HALF: Your win bonus is cut in half to $5,525,000!
- $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 00. So Nightmare...with $11,050,000...will you take the Square, or the Stash?

---

I will take the Square, obviously!
