The Amazing Race: MafiaScum Edition

Forum link: http://z15.invisionfree.com/Amazing_Race/index.php?

Welcome to The Amazing Race! You are about to embark upon a journey across the World (Wide Web) in a race for one million

(theoretical)

dollars!

How the Race Works:

1. At the beginning of each Leg, you will be given a clue that tells you precisely what you have to do to find your next clue. Usually, this will be something along the lines of locating the answer to a question. This answer will be entered into a password-protected forum off-site
2. Each clue will provide very clear instructions about what to do. There should be no confusion.
3. On Legs, you will encounter a variety of clues, including Roadblocks, Fast Forwards, and Detours.
a. Roadblocks, as described on The Amazing Race on CBS, are a task that only one person may perform. As there are no teams here, it’s just a slightly more difficult task.
b. Detours are a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. The same applies here.
c. Fast Forwards are a task that allows you to skip all other tasks and go straight to the Finish Line. These are by far the hardest tasks you will encounter.
4. At the end of the leg, you will be instructed to travel to the Pit Stop. The Pit Stop will be yet another locked forum (getting the pattern?)
5. At the beginning of the next leg, players will be separated by an amount of time proportional to the time between they checked in and the team in front of them checked in. Teams who win legs may also be provided with advantages.
6. Legs will be opened between 3pm EST and 8pm EST (19.00-0.00GMT).

Game-Specific Rules:

1. After each leg, players must submit a schedule of when they will not be available for the next week or two. This is to allow the Host to determine when the best time to start the next leg is, as this takes place in realtime.
2. Players may collude, but absolutely MAY NOT share the code words used to check in or collect clues, upon pain of elimination.
3. Players are expected to inform the Host of any V/LA that occurs. If it is extensive, you may be asked to remove yourself from the Race.
4. Be sure to keep a record of all code words used to collect clues, as the Host may ask you for these when you check in. It is also possible that other information may need to be collected to turn in at the Pit Stop (i.e. screenshots).

And I still haven't updated the OP. Shame.

It's still not.

Xalxe · Post Post #42 (isolation #12) » Tue Mar 01, 2011 12:58 pm

Mist and Zyrconium need to clarify their partners; Mist needs one, and Zyrc needs to pick JUST one.

I'm thinking 1-2 more and we can start; tell your friends!

Xalxe · Post Post #45 (isolation #13) » Tue Mar 01, 2011 1:06 pm

Flavor-wise. Your team name is Mist7676 and nobody. You need to find a partner.

I made a few calls, and the following people are free:
Donald Trump
Barack Obama
Your Mother
Rush Limbaugh
The Boogeyman
Chun Li
That hobo down the street

Feel free to pick one of them if you like!

All the teams have confirmed!

Please read the Rules on the Forum; in addition, information for the first leg has been posted. All of these are very important.

LEG 1 BEGINS!

Xalxe · Post Post #80 (isolation #32) » Fri Mar 11, 2011 10:42 am

6/8 teams have checked in; only two remain (and better do it fast or I'll eliminate the both of you).

Xalxe · Post Post #82 (isolation #33) » Sat Mar 12, 2011 3:51 pm

WHEE MODKILLS

Order of arrival for Leg 1:
1) Ladies Bernkastel/Lambdadelta
2) animorpherv1/Andrius (but a slap on the wrist for not reading the clue fully)
3) Zyrconium/Obama
4) Kanon/Shannon
5) ShadowLurker/PEG
6) Jennifer/Chelsea

Lost in China, never to be seen again (aka modkilled for not finishing after 48 hours; way to fail)
1) Mist7676/Violet101
2) Zodiark/Ultima

Next leg will begin...next week. Sometime. Once it's ready. Stay tuned!

Hey guys, I'm cool with sharing the passwords and all, just spoiler them in case people want to try the leg for themselves.
