Can't play (sorry, time constraints), but just felt like I should point out that this has an amazing precedent to live up to, so best of luck filling those shoes! |

Here's basically how the game would go:
The amount of participants will determine how long the game lasts, so if there are say 10 participants, the season will last at least 8 weeks.
At the beginning of each week, on this thread, I will give you a clue usually in the form of a rhyme (at least 2 lines long) to tell you which genre of music you will be going to this week (or in the actual show, the country you'll be flying to).
Once you have reached your destination, I will give you the first clue, also in a rhyme format. You will PM me your answer and if you are correct, I will PM you your next clue. Each clue is different every time: It may be a simple riddle for you to answer, it could be a mission, it could be a question, it could be anything!
As we go along with each week, I will introduce the special items/tasks/twists to everyone.
To reach your checkpoint destination, you would have to correctly answer at least 4 clues.
Now, there are 2 ways we can play this game:
The first way is by ways of an actual race, the first one to complete the week will win something special that'll help them with next week and the last one to arrive will be eliminated.
The other way is by a points system: Completing tasks/correctly answering questions will earn you points. Incorrectly answering questions at first or flub in completing a task, but eventually getting them done, will subtract from the total points you earn for that one task. If you fail to complete the task or solve/answer the question/riddle, you will be allowed to move to the next step, but you will suffer a penalty. At the end of each week, the one with the most points wins the week and wins something special for next week and the one with the fewest points will be eliminated.
The same format will apply to most weeks until the final week.
This is what I have so far. If I get enough support, I will release the official rules and more information as early as tomorrow. No matter what happens though, I can't guarantee that this season will start until February 15 at the EARLIEST. I've really put a lot of thought into this and I would like to make this work and be a game we can play for months to come, the only thing that's missing... is YOU.

I'm unsure if I'd have the time for this, but I like the idea. Oh good! (huge sigh of relief) That precedent had me worried and I was thinking, "Oh s**t. I screwed up big time and everyone thinks I'm gonna be the next one to crash and burn." Thanks for the clarification. Just to let you and everyone else know, I've watched 5 seasons of The Amazing Race, I know how the game works, and I'm working on a way to make the game fun and time-affordable for everyone. |

I have autism and I have a social disorder. It's hard for me NOT to take things like that seriously. Also, I really try to not offend or anger anyone on the forum, and I've got to know the general atmosphere of everyone on Pulse, but I've learned that the hard way these past 3 months. |

What was so bad about that precedent? Again, I'm so lost and confused right now with everything. icantthinkofaname also seemed like a nice person...nicer than a lot of people on here that's for sure. Don't get why he was getting attacked. Someone enlighten me please!

He was seriously acting nice out here, many of us saw his true colors and called him out for it, then the constant attention seeking and boardiciding/coming back the next day seriously pushed us over the edge. And now she's doing the same thing on M4B |

This is very cool =]
I wouldn't mind playing a big brother edition either! I like playing big brother games but S15/16 were absolutely HORRID! Well with the exception of Derrick winning BB16 but still...

IDK when exactly we'll be playing another season of Pulse Big Brother; there's one underway at the moment though; it's down to the top 5. |

So I'll probably feel like a wildcard/floater to a lot of people the 1st time around but i'm going to do the best I can do. |

UPDATE: I am working on the Official Rules currently and they should be all up by the end of the week. As for time ('cuz I know a lot of you were concerned about that, and aren't we all?), each segment of the race will be 1 week long. I will give you the genre clue every Sunday, and you will have until 12 PM Eastern Time every Saturday to complete the week. In terms of time devoted to this, it should take you all 15-45 minutes a week to finish everything up, problem solved! More affordable for everyone! surfy, Ed The Pacifist!, and trustypepper, I already counted you in. If anyone else is now interested, comment "I'm in." or "Possible"

Spidey and surfy, how exactly would teams work for this version of T.A.R.? Not saying it's a bad idea or anything, just want your input.

I actually haven't watched the show, so I have no clue yet. I'll do so research on the show and then give some input.
