Race To A Billion [COULD BE REVIVED!?]

And there we are! Howie used his secret power-up, Fold. But what IS Fold?

"On your turn in this round, if you say "I'd like to fold" instead of picking a square, you will fold out of the round and be safe to make it into the next round. You won't win any win bonuses (as you techinically haven't won, so cash and multipliers stay the same), but you keep your scores, play any minigames you might have earned, and more importantly, you will make it to round 3."

So, even though he's not going to earn any more money this round, we'll be seeing him in round 3. Congratulations, Howie!

ROUND II

Zukin-Man: $4,225,000
Max: $1,769,444 (Hit 15)
Ryuzaki573: $15,489,777 (1x Value Multiplier, 1x Bonus Multiplier)
Pandemonium X: $2,250,000 (High Stakes, 3x Value Multiplier, IMMUNITY)

That still leaves three, though. Max, can you keep your minigame?

#25

*expects a bomb*

You expect a bomb...but are you getting one in 25?



No! If you win the round, your win bonuses will be multiplied by 5 now!







ROUND II

Zukin-Man: $4,225,000
Max: $1,769,444 (5x Bonus Multiplier, Hit 15)
Ryuzaki573: $15,489,777 (1x Value Multiplier, 1x Bonus Multiplier)
Pandemonium X: $2,250,000 (High Stakes, 3x Value Multiplier, IMMUNITY)

Ryu, at most there are four bombs in there. And there still could be something nasty. Tread carefully.

---

Square 2 please

Right, the odds are pretty much 50% that you go bye-bye. But is it going to happen?



Your luck continues! Another decent value square, and yet another oddly ending square for you.







ROUND II

Zukin-Man: $4,225,000
Max: $1,769,444 (5x Bonus Multiplier, Hit 15)
Ryuzaki573: $16,267,554 (1x Value Multiplier, 1x Bonus Multiplier)

Pandy, dicing with danger here. Well, you would if you weren't immune. Pick a square.

#23

In The Number 23, Jim Carrey gets the shit scared out of him by a prime number. Yeah. In number 23...



YOU'RE WINNER!







ROUND II

Zukin-Man: $4,225,000
Max: $1,769,444 (5x Bonus Multiplier, Hit 15)
Ryuzaki573: $16,267,554 (1x Value Multiplier, 1x Bonus Multiplier)
Pandemonium X: $3,969,000 (High Stakes, 3x Value Multiplier, IMMUNITY)

As Howie's folded, it's now to Max. Six squares left. Anything from one to four of them could be bombs, though.

---

....#01

*i am so dead* |S

---

Have you picked one of the safe squares in Number 1?



Uh...no. It's been 20 squares coming, but it's our first bomb. I'm afraid you lose $250k AND all your bonuses, sorry. But thanks for playing this round!







ROUND II

Zukin-Man: $4,225,000
Max: $1,519,444
Ryuzaki573: $16,267,554 (1x Value Multiplier, 1x Bonus Multiplier)
Pandemonium X: $3,969,000 (High Stakes, 3x Value Multiplier, IMMUNITY)

Right, 2 down, 2 to go. Can Ryu avoid a bomb?

---

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Oh well, good luck to the next round of people.

---

I'm SOOOO gonna kill myself for this...

Square 16

The odds are getting lower, this could mean round over...has he done it?



BOMB! ROUND OVER! I'm sorry, but you lost all your bonuses and $250k. What was left, by the way?







Well, really the only good move would have been the +10%, as the BLAMMO is something you'd RATHER avoid.

Anyway, time for Pandy, this round's winner, to receive his bonuses!

- You win $1,000,000 straight, untouched by any bonuses.
- You win $100,000 for each uncovered square, which is 4, so you get 4x3 = $1,200,000!
- Both of your multipliers increase by one. So that's $2,200,000, a Value Multiplier of 4 and a Bonus Multiplier of 1!

And what's more, it's mini-game time! You're gonna be playing High Stakes, were if you're very lucky, you could make a WHOLE FUCKLOAD of cash. Hang on, it's coming in a couple of minutes.

Mini-game?

Sounds fun :3

Oh snap!

OK, here's how HIGH STAKES works. There are six rows of 7 numbers to get through. Six of these numbers are good, and they have white squares behind then. Behind one of those numbers will be a big, bad red square, which you REALLY don't want to see, because that spells GAME OVER. On each level, you will have to make a certain number of selections and avoid seeing red to achieve the level's cash value. The higher the level, the more selections you need to make. Here's the list of how many successful selections on each level you need to get the cash:

Level 1 (1 selection) : $200,000
Level 2 (2 selections) : $500,000
Level 3 (3 selections) : $1,000,000
Level 4 (4 selections) : $3,000,000
Level 5 (5 selections) : $10,000,000
Level 6 (6 selections) : $50,000,000

(Because we're playing such a high-stakes game, multipliers WON'T affect your winnings.)

You could win $50,000,000 today, but that's going to be bloody next-to-impossible. So here's something we can use to help you:

You are given two DODGES. A dodge will mean you have to make one less selection on that level - could be a big help. Whenever you hit a red square, you will drop one level, and you will leave the mini-game.

Or, Pandy, you can decide to have THREE Dodges, but a red square will drop you TWO levels.

What's your choice going to be, two Dodges and a one-level drop, or three Dodges and a two-level drop?

---

Let's do 2 Dodges and 1 level drop.

---

Good choice. Let's play round one.



For $200,000, pick one square. And hope that it doesn't contain the red!

---

4

---

Has he survived round 1?



YES! The red was behind No.6.

You have $200,000, 2 dodges remaining. On level two, you'll need to select two of the seven. And if either of those are bombs, you'll leave the mini-game with nothing. Are you going to continue to risk it for $500,000?

---

I'll use a dodge for this round and I'll pick #1
