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

Speaking of salt and when you were in the lead, remember when Oni was accused of being biased because someone got the Ask the Host lifeline, asked a vague question, and ended up bombing because of the unresolved "plotholes"?

Good times....

PSA for Oni:

I'll be off until Wednesday, I'm going to another city on Tuesday for an Unreal Engine workshop, so I'll be unable to see or post here. Feel free to take a day or whatnot.

This fits me perfectly, I was literally coming here just to say I was out of action until late Wednesday UTC!

Thanks for the reminder. But I did make a public apology (if I haven't made one yet, then I'm making it right now, I am sorry) and I want to have a 2nd go at this game.

At least you apologized (Which usually never happens on the internet here)

---

Goes to show that not everyone you meet on the interwebs is an asshole. Okay that's enough out of me and no more derailment. Let's proceed with the show. Which is most likely going to happen later tonight.

Well, I'm back, so I think we continue tonight.

On the other hand, UE4 is super fun to develop and model things for games.

And that's perfectly fine! I like it.

Man, This takes pretty long.

Keep your nuts in your pants, I'm getting on with it.

Imationer, welcome, to SPLIT DECISION!

The aim of this game is to get the maximum amount of money out of a series of increasing Split Decisions. The game involves these twelve squares:





Ten cash values, 2 Bombs. The game is made of 6 rounds. In each round, you pick two squares. We show you the first square, and ask whether you'd like to bank the cash, or reject it for the second square's contents. Regardless of what you choose, both squares are eliminated, and we continue until all 12 squares are gone. Play the perfect game, and you win $20,000,000!

Now, that's all very good until we reach the Bombs. If you bank a Bomb, your bank is instantly wiped to zero. However, you CAN continue the game if you still have squares to pick. HOWEVER, if you reveal a bomb in your first square, both squares are instantly eliminated. You can't switch out a bomb, you see. That'd be too easy.

You get an opportunity to leave the game with the cash you've currently earned after the 2nd and 4th rounds.

So, let's reveal the grid!





Right, without further ado, let's have two numbers.

---

Let's boot this up with 9 and 11, please.

It's a good start, right in the golds. You can make a decent start by banking it, but is there more behind 11?

$1,500,000. Take it or Leave it?

---

I'll take the $1.5m

With the first million banked, let's have a look behind 11...



Ooh, that's the third biggest value in the game you missed out on, but you've only lost a million there.




BANK: $1,500,000
MAXIMUM: $18,250,000

The maximum has only dropped by 1.75 million, still a LOT of money left in the game. One more Split Decision until we come to the first break point...

---

I've always been bad with gambles.

I'll take 10 and 4 now.

In 10...



OH NO. OH NO. That's the single WORST thing that can happen in the game. Not only have you been bombed back to zero, the top of the game is gone too.




BANK: $0
MAXIMUM: $8,750,000

As expected, your maximum win has dropped by more than half, BUT there's only one bomb left in the game, so it's easier to get at least something. NORMALLY you'd get the choice at this moment to either walk with your money or carry on, but with nothing to risk, it's natural what you'd do. Two more numbers, hopefully these will go better for you.

---

Well, at least I didn't bombed late.

1 and 2, please.

OK, it's money, but not much.

$500,000. Take It or Leave It?

---

I'll ask first: that was an error on the cells?

I did'nt see any error.
