Murphy's law dictates that at this point, the bombs start being uncovered. Schrodinger's cat dictates that basically every square contains a bomb and money of varying amounts until proven. Sod's law dictates that I'm going to be the one who uncovers the first bomb. With a heavy heart, I pick 17.

Unlucky for some?

























[---BOMB!---]

*crowd shows general disappointment*

Well, it is for you. You get knocked back by half a million bucks, and you're dropping into 2nd place, but thanks for playing, and we'll see you in a couple of rounds time!

*applause*

Now, Fniff, here's where it gets interesting. First of all, you recieve $50,000 for winning a round!

[$------615,000]
*kaching, whoosh*
[$------665,000]

Secondly, you recieve $5,000 for each remaining square... which is...


[$-------65,000]

*cheers from crowd*

And finally, see that BM column? That's called a Bonus Multiplier, each win increases it by one, and what it basically does, is multiply your end of round winnings ($50k and $5k per square uncovered) and multiplies it by the BM.

As you've won a round, it moves to 1. So, you're bonus winnings at the end of this round are...

[$-------115,000]

Bringing you to a grand total of...

[$-------730,000]

AND, you get to try and maintain your lead in the next round!

*applause*

Now, let's see what was left on the board...

*whoosh, massive gasp from crowd*

[$---100,000][---BOMB!---][$----80,000][$---250,000][$----60,000]
[$-1,000,000][$----35,000][$----25,000][$---175,000][$---450,000]
[$---400,000][$----30,000][---BOMB!---][$----45,000][$---450,000]
[---BOMB!---][$----40,000][$----35,000][$----90,000][$----15,000]
[$---500,000][---BOMB!---][$----30,000][$----40,000][$10,000,000]

There was the biggest possible cash amount left on that board, in square 25. The big $10M.

In total, there was $11,945,000 left on that board.



Final Round 1 Scores:

EagleV:      -$500,000
Fniff:        $730,000
Doomblade:    $520,000
Lillipad:    -$470,000


Round 2 coming up momentarially.

Before I announce who is playing Round 2, I have a few new squares to announce.

Firstly, this game needs to give some players the chance to earn a bit more money, so, we have some minigames.

These can only be played if the person who lands on them WINS THE ROUND. They do not start the instant you find them.

Currently, I'm putting into the rotation:

HIGHER OR LOWER - Or, the end game in Card Sharks/Play Your Cards Right if you prefer.
MATH TIME - Where basic arithmetic can win you up to $1,000,000
MYSTERY CHANCE - Where you can substitute your score for anything between $1 and $1B

And, I'm putting the other column on the scoreboard to use. AV or, All Values.

Basically, if this is, say, a 3, ANY CASH VALUE YOU HIT IS MULTIPLIED BY THAT VALUE!

There are currently tiles that will add to this number, how many I will not be disclosing, but be warned, BOMB! out, and you'll lose the AV.



Now, the main information we need. The players for ROUND 2!

Joining Fniff will be New Guy, Maxinum McDreich and Toaster

You have 48 hours to place your bombs via PM, good luck!
