Mist7676 is still alive. Getting intense now.

swyellowtail, over to you.

[swyellowtail]

Hmm.. there's an absurd chance that I'm going to get hit by a devil. Like.. I'd have to be extremely lucky to NOT hit the devil right about now, due to the fact that right now, I essentially have a 0% chance of doing so. This could be a bit higher if there are blue or black devils, but not by much. (25-75%¹) Though, the odds of seeing a blue OR black devil are significantly higher than usual now.

The odds are against me. My gut is saying to open #5, but there's this slight feeling that I'm gonna get smacked with a blue devil like I have just now. But.. y'know what, I've had a great run already. If I go out, I go out with the current streak of wins. If not, this round becomes prolonged some more.

Box #5!

¹ - I do not know what was behind #18, so if that is a devil, my chances can be a bit higher.

Well, let's see if your logic pays off and your winning streak continues. However, with Dangerous Devils on this board, it's highly unlikely...

Brace yourself and Reveal #5!

Oh! It's a Red Devil! Does he have something hiding behind him?

DEVIL'S EXTRA:

RICHTER SCALE: 5

And he does! It's the Richter Scale! That means you are going to lose even MORE money. And it couldn't have come at a worse time, because 5 happens to the maximum number on the scale. That means instead of losing $50,000, you'll lose 5 TIMES that, or $250,000!

And to add insult to injury, that Devil has not only taken ALL of your items and the Bonus Game, but your winning streak AND the Bonus Multiplier have all been reset to 0!

And that also means for the first time, Mist7676 wins the Showdown!

Now, was there one more space that could've kept you in the game? Let's reveal the rest of the board and find out.

And now, Mist7676, here's your bonus.

Mist7676, since you have won the Showdown, that means you are going to use

Hitman

, in which you are now allowed to give a

Strike

to any one of your opponents.

Here are your opponents.

PrivateI
Shiidaji
puzzledan
JDGA
doctorwho
YurikoJasmine
JerryArr (Effected by The Killer)
Cheery Dog
DiplomatDC
swyellowtail
D3f3nd3r

All of these opponents have 0 Strikes. Who do you want to give a Strike to?

[Mist7676]

HOW DID I DO THAT?

Well, this is a game, and sw is in the lead I'm sorry but I'm going to strike you.

[puzzledan]

I so expected that

[swyellowtail]

I did, too. I really should've used an item there. Bah.

[dad90]

Well, Mist7676 has spoken, and swyellowtail....

That's Strike 1 for you. 2 more Strikes and you are out. In fact, you are now

One Loss

away from getting Strike 2.

There's now a new rule in this game.

Instead of 3 Losses, you now have 2 Losses to get a Strike. Win any Showdown, however, and if you have a 1 Loss at your Loss Counter, it'll be lost.

[Mist7676]

So does Jerry now have a strike?

[dad90]

As a matter of fact, yes. He now has 1 Strike against him.

[swyellowtail]

Now that I have been eliminated from the round, I have one simple question:
What would happen if a Killer and a Devil land on the same box? The odds aren't very high, I know, but the question still remains.

[dad90]

Should that happen, the

Killer

will override the Devil, and the consequences will be very severe.

[dad90]

DK: And we're back, and right now, we have some unfinished business with Mist7676.



Mist7676, you have earned the right to go into Toad's Prize House.




We have 6 blocks here. Each one contains a prize. All you got to do is pick one, and you'll win the prize.

[Mist7676]

I'm feeling really good things from the right side. Let's go top right?

[dad90]

At the top right, you've won....

DK: Nice prize. Standby for another Bonus Game.

[dad90]

OK, I'm back after graduating from Nova Southeastern University as I now have so many job offers, but now, back to the game where Mist7676 is going to play her Bonus Game of

Money Maker

.

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
[6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
[11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

Now, here's how this works. The top row is filled with numbers (0-4), the middle row with words (add (2 of them), double the median, minimum, maximum), the bottom row with money (5k-10k-20k-30k-40k). You pick one square on the top row, one on the middle row and as many as you got on the top row for the bottom row. 0 is an instant loss, 1 proceeds immediately to the bottom. You could win up to $100,000.

Pick one number from the top row, the middle row, and the bottom tow.

[Mist7676]

I'll pick

4 From the Top

Hopefully that has 4!

I'll go with

10, for the middle

because I don't know which would be better!

And lastly, what I'm getting for the rules is, whatever number I get from the top row is however many I pick from the bottom row? So if I get 1, up there I get one option down there? I don't know if that's how it works but I'll make a list of preferences for the last row anyways!

MONEY

-
This is what the show is all about: piling money into your bank, various squares on the game board are filled with various amounts of money ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. There could up to 3 of each amount per round.

Spoiler: Click me!

The money is doubled when there are ten players left, and then tripled when there are five players left.

lol so helpful.

I admire the effort put into this game though.

You have 1 win under your belt. That means that you have an opportunity to walk away with 20% of your winnings or...

$170,800. That is yours for the taking, if you exit the Race.

OR... you could press forward on your journey to $1 Billion. Your bank would be vulnerable, but you might get a bigger reward out of it.

Also, keep in mind, any prizes won will be yours to keep, no matter what happens, but it's the Cash that's on the line.

So, Mist7676. For $170,800 do you want to BANK, or do you want to BATTLE?

If you select BATTLE, then you get to choose the next 4 contestants for Showdown #5, except for JerryArr, in which he has to wait for 2 more Showdowns. You can also be one of the 4 contestants in the next Showdown if you want. Also, you cannot choose the last 3 contestants from the previous Showdown (swyellowtail, PrivateI, puzzledan)
