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

I think I'm going to replace gameboy with Aiden. I THINK that's the best way. The bomb for gameboy will stand because his is legit.



22 is unfortunately a bomb.







ROUND 2 - MILLION DOLLAR LOCKDOWN!

Spirit of Nightmare: $28,303,750 (105% Boost)
aidan9030: $0
gameboy573: $950,000
SomethingRandom: $650,000

aidan, you're back in! Please don't make this more difficult for me by choosing a bomb, yeah?

---

If 22 was supposed to be a bomb from the start then I should rightfully be out. Shoot.

Time to disappear for 3 and a half years again lol jk...maybe?

Luck in Speedrunning

hopefully 21 isn't a bomb...?

---

It would really suck if 21 was a bomb...



Boom, million.







ROUND 2 - MILLION DOLLAR LOCKDOWN!

Spirit of Nightmare: $28,303,750 (105% Boost)
aidan9030: $1,000,000
gameboy573: $950,000
SomethingRandom: $650,000

Nightmare, can you do that?

---

I’ll go with number 1

---

Oh my God...



CHAMP DOWN.







ROUND 2 - MILLION DOLLAR LOCKDOWN!

Spirit of Nightmare: $27,253,750
aidan9030: $1,000,000
gameboy573: $950,000
SomethingRandom: $650,000

So, aidan, you somehow have come back from the dead, and you are the winner of Round Two! Let's work out your win bonus.

- 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 12 at 100%, so you get $12,000,000.

So, your win bonus is $22,000,000! Here comes the fun part...

You can now, if you like, put this money on the line. The $1,000,000 you previously won is safe. Nobody can take it from you. You can, however, 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:

- DOUBLE: Your win bonus is doubled to $44,000,000!
- $25,000,000: Your win bonus becomes a flat $25,000,000!
- MONEY BACK: Your win bonus remains at $22,000,000!
- HALF: Your win bonus is cut in half to $11,000,000!
- $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 aidan...with $22,000,000...will you take the Square, or the Stash?

---

I'll try my bad luck and take Square 99.

---

Honestly, anything under $25 million and I would too. Suspense time.

Right, let's open Square 99...



So, over $40,000,000 rides on this. Where are we going?

---

I'll go with number 2

---

So...you went for 2...is 2 going to be a big Christmas gift for you?



Oh, yes it is!



So, where does that leave the standings?



So, you are within a million and change off of the lead, aidan, but three new challengers await! Can they stop you from leading the Race to a Billion? We'll find out soon enough! See you tomorrow!
ROUND THREE! Christmas is over and the dark post-Brexit years are coming soon, so let's get a few more in before the idea of currency becomes a sarcastic joke. Who's playing?

- aidan9030
- vincentw
- Imationer
- DBHxgiga92

Give us yer bombs!

Let's reveal the board!







ROUND 3

Imationer: $0
aidan9030: $26,000,000
DBHxgiga92: $0
vincentw: $0

Nice board today. No real big shocks, but there are some surprises if you're unlucky...

Imationer, where are you going for your first?

---

Let's take 13 for a hopefully-not-so-rocky start.

I'll reserve 17, please!

Let's begin with unlucky 13. Slide right into the middle...



Smooth. Like sliding into a hot bath. Like Santana feat. Rob Thomas in November 1999.







ROUND 3

Imationer: $650,000
aidan9030: $26,000,000
DBHxgiga92: $0
vincentw: $0

aidan, you need 1 million and a bit to get the lead. Can you find it?

---

Square 7

---

Jumping straight from unlucky to lucky...in 7...



My, ain't this a peach. Everything you earn is now multiplied by 1.7x. However, your next bomb will cost you $425,000.







ROUND 3

Imationer: $650,000
aidan9030: $26,000,000 (170% Boost)
DBHxgiga92: $0
vincentw: $0

DBH, you're next in to open your account with us! Best of luck.

---

It's a lovely day to start building. I choose 23 to begin.

---

23's usually a nice little one, isn't it?



It's certainly little, but it ain't a bomb...so...nice? It pays for a bomb at least.

And vincent also there showed that, yes, you can indeed reserve a square. Do it if you need to, that's what it's there for...in 17!



We're doubling on that last one, nice tasty bit of cash there!







ROUND 3

Imationer: $650,000
aidan9030: $26,000,000 (170% Boost)
DBHxgiga92: $250,000
vincentw: $500,000

Well, everyone's got some money now! Imationer, can you build on it?

---

At least I can try.

Show me 9, please!

Aww, we're making a little lattice thing.



Whatever you're doing, it's working. Nice minigame on offer there!







ROUND 3

Imationer: $650,000 (Math Time)
aidan9030: $26,000,000 (170% Boost)
DBHxgiga92: $250,000
vincentw: $500,000

aidan, back to you. With that boost you could go to town hard on the leaderboard.

---

let's try Square 6 then
