surfy Ed The Pacifist! trustypepper JCMF3 Future Captain, you're all contestants. ry4n Spidey @markg94, I need to know by February 27 if you'll play or not. Anyone else who wants to play please let me know! You have ONE WEEK LEFT to join. All right. Official Rules are OUT! Every week will almost follow the same format. Here goes: In a typical week, here's what will happen. At the beginning of each week, I will give you the clue to the genre of music or the artist/band you will going to. This is usually in the form of a rhyme. You will PM me your guess and I will tell you if it's correct or not. This first leg of the race is worth 10 points. Here's the breakdown in points: 10 points - First guess correct 5 points - Second guess correct 3 points - Third guess correct 0 points - I tell you the answer Once you have reached the genre, I will give you the next clue leading to the main mission. This is worth 15 points, PM me your answer. 15 points - First guess correct 10 points - Second guess correct 5 points - Third guess correct 0 points - I tell you the answer Main mission: It will be different every week and will vary, but every mission is very important to your points total. Every mission will be worth up to 50 points and will consist of 3-5 tasks. When you complete the mission, I will give you your overall score and your next clue. Minor mission: This may be given in a certain week, and this may not be given at all, but it will always be an extension of the main mission. The point value will vary from 10-25 points. Checkpoint: After you complete the major mission or 2 missions, I will give you the checkpoint clue. This will always be a geographic location and it may even be a clue to next week's race. This will be worth 10 points following the same points format as the first clue. Items/Twists: Be aware of these items/twists that may occur during each week:Detours: In any given week, I'll give you the title of 2 missions and you PM me and tell me which one you'd like to do. Fast Forward: A power up given/awarded to only one contestant. This will allow the contestant to skip any remaining tasks and go directly to the Checkpoint clue. AND, what's better, you'll earn all the points possible up to that last clue. Intersections: That will require 2 contestants to work together to get the main mission accomplished. This may occur in any given week where the remaining amount of players is an even number. Road Block: A contestant can use this on any contestant and it will require them to wait a specific amount of time before I will reveal to them a task or giving me an answer. U-Turn: A contestant can use this on any contestant to force him/her to complete the other main mission, which will eliminate the score earned from the already completed mission and have the other one counted towards the weekly score. Speed Bump: This applies to the person who was saved from elimination the previous week. It's a easy task, but there is a catch: You get it wrong your first try, not only will you not get any points for that task, you won't get any for your genre destination question even if you get it correct. I will explain more rules as we get deeper into the game and I will regularly post updates on the race for everyone and any important information, but here's the #1 rule all of you need to know: NEVER POST ANY ANSWERS ON THE THREAD. YOU HAVE TO SEND THEM VIA PM. I will do this on a 3 strike system. First offense: -10 to -25 points depending on the seriousness of the offense. Second offense: Half of your total points for that week. Third offense: Automatic elimination. Every week, you will have from Sunday night to Saturday 12 PM Eastern time to complete each week's race. On average, you will need only 30 minutes a week to complete everything. Any questions? Let me know! Thanks guys and good luck to you all! PULSE EDITION!!!

Why wouldn't we be able to share information with other racers? You are allowed to make alliances and work together if you choose during the real show. lol.

Heck with it, I'll play, even though I'm partially befuddled at what I will be doing. I like trying new things, or games, and I'm sure you'll provide more clarity by the time we play. So yeah, throw my hat in the ring.

Is there any time limit in accomplishing those tasks? I'm in a strange timezone compared to other posters here...

I would be interested in playing as well, but I'm a newbie as far as these games go.

It doesn't matter how long you spend long on a task (you can spend 5 minutes or a few days), but as long as you complete everything by Saturday, you'll be fine. That's why I'm giving everyone 5.5 - 6 days each week to complete everything.

That's why I'm giving everyone 5.5 - 6 days each week to complete everything. would this be adjusted if everyone finished a lot earlier than the deadline? Now that you say that, if that happened for like 2-3 straight weeks, then I'd strongly consider giving everyone 2-3 days. The reason I initially did that is because the show runs every Sunday once a week, that's all. And if I started a round off schedule without warning to a few people, it just wouldn't be fair to everyone. I don't wanna bully you guys to the point of, "Oh, I gotta be on the constant lookout for when the next round starts." or "No fair, I'm only on here like once every 2 days, I completely missed it." Just trying to make it fair for everyone, that's all.

UPDATE: Fancy and Spidey, I have decided to drop the "no exchanging information" rule. Once we get enough participants and the game starts, you all are allow to (try to at least) create alliances and all that jazz. But, I will keep the "No posting answers on the thread, only PM them to me." rule.

A question, is it just simply allowed to make alliance or is it mandatory?

HOWEVER... there may be a few missions where in a few tasks you attempt to complete, I will partner you up with someone at random to complete them. There's twist #1 for you!

Just for fun: When I participated in my college's bowling league, I named my team after a Decepticon. See if you can guess which one. Let me guess, Starscream?

Can my team name be called "TEAM INFERNO" from the disney channel games from 08'? Ugh Disney is nowhere near as good as it used to be.

Is it too late to answer now? It's not too late, this question determines the order in which you will all be leaving the starting line. You have a chance to be the 3rd to leave.
