Re: Race To A Billion - Pre-R1 - BOMB POSITIONS NEEDED!

So how do you want us to give you the bomb positions? I'm assuming we PM the. To you, but how do you want us to tell you the bomb's position? (Coordinates, general location, etc.)

In any case it would be a battle of critical thinking and I refuse to fight an unarmed individual.

Via PM, just state a number between 1 and 25 and that will lock in where your bomb is. Then, for the actual money/picking selections, it's all done through posts on this thread, but that will be explained when we get there (which seems like it wont be too far away).

Little update, we are now just waiting for Lillipad to lock in and we can begin...

The bombs have been placed, the grid shuffled and locked, it's time... to...

RACE TO A BILLION
*wild applause from audience*

Ladies and gentlemen, this is it! The first round in our epic journey, and we better clear some quick things up.

There will be a time limit. 48 hours from my post announcing your turn to time being up. There's a three strike system in play, and the info about that will be under the board at all times.

So... let's announce what happened with those bombs. Up to four are on the board, and there's been some interesting placements. In total, $280,000 was covered up.

Okay, we're going to begin now, and order of play will be decided by what order I received the bombs in. That means EagleV is up first.

GOOD LUCK!

*cheers from audience as lights dim*

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

You can indeed, and you're the last person guaranteed a Round 2 position!

Also, if $280,000 was covered up, how did he hit $450,000?

$280k total spread over 4 bombs.

There's many different values that can randomly come up, ranging from $10k to $10M.

I smiled as that square was stripped away to reveal 450,000 cold hard cash. This was going well already... beginners luck, or was I going to win?
