It's time to sign-up for The Amazing Race!  The Race will start on the first day of the Carnival (January 27th) and will last for 3 weeks. You can participate by yourself or on a team of two. Please PM me or sign up in this thread if you wish to participate. When signing up, you can include your team name if you wish to have one. You can sign up until January 25, 2008. Feel free to ask questions in this thread.

 

Outline of how The Amazing Race will work (as described by Jeran in last year's thread):

 

* Answer 1-2 puzzles a week. To make it fair to those in different time zones and to introduce an element of strategy to the race bonus points will be given each week to the team who posts in a certain position. For example in a given week I might say that the 5th team to post their answer will get bonus points. There will also be a deadline at the end of the week for submitting answers.

* After you PM me your answers you will immmediately go to the White Ajah board to post a response in the Race thread indicating that you have posted. This way people can watch the thread and decide when to submit their answers to try and get bonus points. Your post will be in the form of a description of how you travelled from the previous stop on the Race to the current stop. It need not be very long. For example it could be as simple as, "We caught a ship in Whitebridge just in time and travelled to Illian. We found the puzzle and submitted the answer to the Puzzle box." Or you can make it as detailed as you like.

* Points will be given for correct answers and bonus points for your position in submitting the answers.

 

Edited to add:  Here's a link to last year's Race in case you want a more complete understanding of how it will work:  http://forums.dragonmount.com/index.php/topic,10376.0.html

 

I've gotten a PM from one team so far.  Keep 'em coming, guys!

 

Some people have expressed an interest in the Race, but are still looking for a partner.  If this sounds like you, please post in this thread asking for a partner, and hopefully others who have the same desire will volunteer to work with you.  Don't be shy about working with someone you don't know.  Last year's winners (Talya and Kara) met each other because of the Race--and now they're Souvras!

Yep that was fun!

 

I'm willing to sign up again if anyone wants to partner with me?

Mystica and I are signing up.  :D

Sheesh, just make sure I can't tell the two of you apart why don't you.

 

Nia and myself will be signing up as a team, she'll let you know our name later, as its beyond my ability to spell.

Oh...didn't see the bit about a name...sorry Dwyn will send that too you.

Wait, we need a team name?

 

Bah!

 

Fine, I'll get back to you after I talk to Nephi. :P

You don't have to have one.  It's just a fun little bonus thing.  :)

Yes, this may be true. :)  However, saying "Team bcx/nephi" ot "Team nephi/bcx" don't really roll off the tongue very well. :)

 

Team Bob?

 

Team We're Awesome?

 

I don't know.  Still waiting for ideas from her. :P

How about "Team Net Addicts"? :P

Kara do you have a partner yet?

No no dear. You're not addicted to the net, you're addicted to me. ;)

 

There is a difference. :P

 

The name does amuse me though. :D  so why not? :)
