May I have my results, please?

Bump 2: The Bumping Returns.

[JDGA]

Alright! That's more than enough of a hiatus, let's get this game rolling! You've got a pretty simple enough pattern going here, so let's see...

[1]

Going left on all six picks...

[Floor Closure] <--

Interesting start. We're getting rid of floor 11...

[Peephole] <-- --> [-50%]

Some good and bad lost there. How about the side we didn't pick?

--> [Suffix]

Ah. Not so nice. We're yet to get on the board, so let's keep things moving...

[2]

Let's see what's on the left here...

[Random 5] <--

Oh, here we go! That'll net us...

[$20,372]

Not bad, not bad! And the other side?

--> [$16]

Can't argue with that. $20,372 in the bank now, with four picks left to make.

[3]

Moving on up, what does this floor have for us...

[+100%] <--

A little early to hit that, perhaps but it's definitely a good thing, as long as we didn't lose any big cash...

--> [$4]

And thankfully, we didn't

We're now halfway through the round with $40,744 in our possession...

[4]

We'll keep going left, what is there to find here?

[-75%] <--

So much for the double we found just a moment ago.
There's not much we could see on the other side that could make this a good thing...

--> [Random 4]

And indeed that's something we didn't want to see, having missed out on $1,917 in addition to losing a chunk of bank D:
That brings us down to $10,186 with two floors left to visit...

[5]

Let's see if we can find something good after that blow...

[T] <--

Hmm. That's worth zippo no nada to us right now, but we haven't

missed

any letters yet either.
What did we sacrifice to collect that?

--> [$1,000]

A grand. Hmm. Means we stay on $10,186 with one floor left to visit...

[6]

Looking for a strong finish to Round 1...

[$250] <--

And that's, well... something, I suppose. Was it at least better than the alternative?

--> [R]

Well... maybe? That's the full set now unavailable to us, so I suppose it's your call whether or not that pick was good.
Regardless, that's the full round now complete...

After visiting six floors, you now have a choice. You can leave the tower, taking home the $10,436 that you have earned, or you can play on and visit another five floors. Which is it to be?

[StrangerCoug]

Keep going

7 left, 8 left, 9 left, 10 left, 12 left

[JDGA]

We're playing on~
Sticking to our rather predictable pattern...

[7]

I guess someone's got a fear of elevators or something, you're spending as little time in it as you can get away with
Anyways, what's waiting for us here?

[$16,000] <--

Hey, not bad! And the other side?

--> [+50%]

You definitely made the better choice at the time, but that's a multiplier that would have been nice to collect later.
Oh well, $26,436 in hand with four floors left in the round.

[8]

Let's see here...

[$1,000,000] <--

Boom, there we go! Big money!

--> [$32,000]

The other side obviously nothing in comparison.
Three more floors to visit, that brings us up to $1,026,436!

[9]

Now we're flying high, our safety becomes all the more paramount...

[E] <--

That makes letter #2.
As usual, the value is probably determined more by what you had to trade to get it...

--> [$8]

Which in this case was very little!
We stay on $1,026,436 for now with two more floors left to visit...

[10]

Now would be a good time to dig up another multiplier...

[$64,000] <--

Hey, that isn't bad either!

--> [Random 6]

Unfortunately the alternative was even better, as that would have given us $269,486.
That's all the random values gone now, leaving us with $1,090,436 and one floor left to visit.

[11]

[12]

Skipping over the floor that closed earlier, let's see what we can find here...

[$125,000] <--

Hey hey, another big boost to our score!

--> [$500,000]

But another larger prize missed out on...
Still, that's a very reasonable addition for you as we reach the end of Round 2.

That's a lot of the big cash now off the board, and there's still some big bad penalties up there. Is that enough to make you leave the tower now with $1,215,436, or will you be playing on to visit another four floors?

[StrangerCoug]

Ehh... Let's gamble. -100% and the Basement are all that scare me right now

13 left, 14 left, 15 left, 16 left

[JDGA]

We're playing on! Perhaps wisely, perhaps foolishly? Let's find out.

[13]

As usual, still taking the left side...

[$4,000] <--

Well, it's something. The alternative?

--> [-25%]

Hey, that's another malus gone! Of course, there's still the big two left...
$1,219,436 in hand as we move on to the second floor of four.

[14]

It's really those big multipliers and the prefix we're after at this point...

[$8,000] <--

But I guess that'll do as well!

--> [-100%]

And avoiding the big crash will REALLY do!
$1,227,436 in hand, two floors to go now.

[15]

Can we still avoid the basement?

[$250,000] <--

Yes we can, picking up the largest cash space still on the board!

--> [$2]

And that's definitely something we can afford to lose.
Now up to a nice $1,477,436, with one floor left to survive...

[16]

What can we find here...?

[$64] <--

Better than the basement, at least.

--> [$32]

Twice the alternative!
That actually evens up your bank, too.

So, let's take stock of the board. Prefix. +75%. +25%. Two letters can get you another million. Four lots of petty cash. And of course, the basement is still lurking, threatening to cost you every cent of what you have. You'll need to visit three of the five remaining floors in the next round... or you can leave the Tower with $1,477,500. A difficult choice... what will you decide?

[StrangerCoug]

Hmm... Against my better judgment, I'll

keep going.

17 left, 18 left, 19 left

.

[JDGA]

Alright, let's hope you manage to avoid the basement...

[17]

Looking left like usual here...

[W] <--

That makes letter #3. If we can find the last one, that's an extra million...

--> [Prefix]

But it came at the cost of a TEN million dollar Prefix.
Not what we wanted to see.
Regardless, we're still on $1,477,500 with two floors to go...

[18]

Can we find something good here?

[+75%] <--

Yes we can, how about that! That's worth over a million to us, that's a huge boost.

--> [$2,000]

And thankfully, no painful trade-off this time. We're now up to $2,585,625 and we just have to survive one more floor...

[19]

Anything but the basement, anything but the basement...

[+25%] <--

It's the last multiplier up on the board, how about that! Another huge chunk added to our score...

--> [BASEMENT]

Aha, there we go! We got rid of it!

We're now SAFE, so you're free to play on to the remaining two floors without risk. There's a few bits of small cash, but the real thing of value to be found is the fourth letter, which is worth an additional million to you.

[StrangerCoug]

...Screw it, I'm going to try for it. 50:50 chance.

20 left and 21 left

[JDGA]

Alright, let's see if we can find that fourth letter...

[20]

What have we got here?

[$125] <--

Not quite it this time, unfortunately.
But did we miss it, or is it hiding on floor 21?

--> [$1]

Okay, it's waiting for us on the last floor! $3,232,156 in hand, and we'll either be adding $500 or $1,000,000 to that total now...

[21]

Can we find the million here?

[$500] <--

Unfortunately not.

--> [O]

Well, that's not the end of the world given what you did manage to win during your twenty-floor visit to the tower. Your southpaw strategy paid off tonight, and that, as they say, is that.

Felissan's confirmed, so it's time to start our next game. You know the rules, you know what's up there to be won, so let's ride this elevator and score some cash!

[D3f3nd3r]

Got pretty intense near the ending, but your relatively simplistic strategy was able to carry you through to a nice payout.

Last time I saw someone use this system they found the basement on like the fourth floor. You did much better than that SC!

[Felissan]

Prime numbers never lie!
2 Left
3 Right
5 Left
7 Right
11 Left
13 Right

[animorpherv1]

You missed 1, 17, and 19.

[StrangerCoug]

Prime numbers never lie!

You missed 1

X

[swyellowtail]

You missed 1, 17, and 19.

6 numbers needed, not 9.

Speaking of which, I'm disappointed that I'm no longer in for game 10, but for game 9. Oh well.

[JDGA]

Alright, let's get this elevator started up...

[1]

[2]

First floor, are we going to get something good?

[-100%] <--

...at least we got that out of the way when we had nothing to lose.
How about the other side?

--> [BASEMENT]

...
...
Well that's just impolite. Let's be VERY grateful we went here first and just move on, shall we?

[3]

Right then, now that we've gotten THAT out of the way, can we get started for real?

--> [$64,000]

Yes, that'll do it!

[$32,000] <--

The other one was pretty decent money as well, but thankfully not as much.
$64k in the bag now, four floors to go!

[4]

[5]

Right, let's see what we can pick up here...

[+25%] <--

That'll do! Up to a flat $80,000 now, and the other side?

--> [+50%]

...oh. Oh well. At least they aren't the biggest multipliers?
Three floors clear, three to go.

[6]

[7]

Heading right this time under our alternating strategy, what will we find here?

--> [$2,000]

Another two grand brings us up to $82,000!

[T] <--

And the alternative was (probably) worth nothing at all. Good trade?
Two floors left, let's keep this up...

[8]

[9]

[10]

[11]

Can we keep this going, pick up some more big cash?

[$8] <--

...not quite, but eight dollars is eight dollars, I suppose.

--> [$500,000]

Oh. :/ Well, that's one source of major money lost to us now.
Still, with $82,008 in hand, there's just one floor left to visit...

[12]

[13]

Let's finish off the round strongly, we're going right here...

--> [-75%]

That's... not exactly what anyone had in mind.

[$4] <--

Well then. What a mess of a round THAT was!

So after that round, you've managed to pick up a total of $20,502. Looking at what's still on the board, would you like to leave the tower now or visit another five floors and attempt to pick up some more cash?

[Felissan]

No way I'm leaving now.
