Over the past few weeks, I have randomly been sending text messages to two individuals from GTS about a fake Amazing Race they are taking part in. When pressed for another race update just a few minutes ago, I thought.....why not involve GTS as a whole?

So, in a mixing of The Amazing Race and American Idol, I present to you......

THE AMAZING GTS RACE

The entire game takes place at GTS. And this isn't a real game at all, just a little something for fun.

If you want to be in the race, first you need to find a partner. Then, post in this thread or send me a PM telling me who your teammate is. Once both of you confirm you are a team, it'll be official.

What do you have to do to race? Well, actually, not much at all. GTS will decide the outcome of this race. In each leg, the users who aren't racing will rank the teams, favorite to least favorite. After tallying up the votes, the placements for that leg will be determined. From this point forward, the people who aren't racers but who rank the teams each leg will be called the audience.

However, this won't be a simple game of voting for favorite teams. Oh no. In true race fashion, luck will be involved, and teams will be able to sabotage each other. These elements will influence the placements that the audience will vote on. This race will not be determined by popularity alone.

To be clear, there aren't challenges, timed events, nightly meeting times, etc. The entire game will take place in this very thread.

So if you want to be involved, do the following:

- To be a racer, post here or PM me your teammate's name. Once both members of your team confirm, your team is official and you're in the race.

- If you want to be part of the audience, which ranks the team in each leg and may do other things to influence the race, please send me a PM and don't tell anyone you are in the audience. Audience members shouldn't post in this thread.

Also, if anyone has any other neat ideas to make this more fun and interactive, go ahead and post in here. At maximum, there will be 12 teams, but that means 24 actual players so I don't think I'll get that many.

Do we get fancy avatars like they do in those Sucks TAR games? :o Because it would be so bland without them. ^_^

Someone just told me via PM that they can make avatars, so you might just get them! :o

Oh, and for true TAR buffs, I will actually create a fake race route that goes around the world, just to add some extra flair to and otherwise fun little game.

And again, any other ideas are welcome!

I have decided that there will be 11 teams in this game at maximum. Two spots have been taken, with plenty of other people looking for teammates.

Also, I have one audience member so far. Once this game officially begins, I will NOT be accepting any more people to join the audience. Please remember that though the teams are open ID, audience members will be anonymous, so if you are in the audience please don't tell anyone.

After thinking about this, I have decided that this game will use a time system to keep track of everything. What this means is through audience votes, good and/or bad luck, and possibly other miscellaneous things, your arrival at each leg's Pit Stop will be given a time. More minutes against your team mean you arrive at the Pit Stop later, so the fewer minutes your team gathers in each leg, the better.

For example, when the audience ranks the teams, the team that a voter puts first means that zero minutes will be added to that team's time. The team they put second will have one minute added, and so on and so on. Let's say there are only two audience members (we will have more than two, I assure you). Audience member #1 puts Kevin & Drew at rank #3. Audience member #2 puts Kevin & Drew at rank #6. Being in rank #3 gives that team 2 minutes, and being in rank #6 gives that team 5 minutes. Add them together, and through the audience ranking system, Kevin & Drew will have 7 minutes added to their time, along with whatever other minutes they may add or lose on the leg through various means.

If it sounds confusing, don't worry, it'll make sense once this thing actually starts.

And in true Amazing Race fashion, there will be several non-elimination legs. You won't know when they are coming. The team that arrives last in a non-elimination leg will receive a penalty, being that in the next leg, a number of minutes will be added to their time at the end of the leg equal to the number of teams remaining in the race. So, if there are 10 teams left and that leg is a non-elimination, then the team that came in last will have 10 minutes added to their time for the next leg, a penalty which no other team has to deal with.
