Fly to the "Heart of America".

RACERS: The first person to name the country that is considered to be the "Heart of America" gets a 6 minute time credit for their team.

Once this task has been completed, we will move on with the second leg of the race.

Jeff, just as a suggestion (you probably have most of this planned, but in case you don't or you ever do it again), these kinds of things really are cool and good for the game. I get the audience involvement since it gives you a base number to go off of, but it would be cool to have more things like this as the race goes on that would help you/hurt you. It just feels better when you have some sort of influence over it rather than it being strictly a popularity contest. Idk maybe you could include more little tasks like this as Road Blocks or Detours or something where teams can either gain or lose minutes or whatever. Or maybe you do have more planned, idk, just my $.02

Okay, I originally planned this game as a pure popularity contest. That's it. I was going to have 11 teams and then anyone on GTS could vote teams in and out of the race. Basically, it was Tournament of Champions in teams.

However, I started to think about it more and wanted to turn it into more of a competitive game. Not a full ORG, but something that doesn't rely entirely on audience favoritism.

As an example, the first leg was designed when I was more in the "popularity contest" stage. The first task of this second leg is a good example of where things are going to go from here, and I promise they get more creative.

So the race will get better as it goes on, just watch. Audience voting will still play a big part in it, but as the numbers dwindle, their influence will be less (since teams will get fewer minutes against them via audience voting) and the reliance on some skill and some luck will shine through.

Also just remember that this game was made up in a span of about 42 seconds. If I like the way this turns out, I may turn it into a real series on a different board that is an entirely anonymous game, but where people can still choose their teammates to play with.

The second leg continues!

AUDIENCE: Next, the teams will drive vehicles into the wilds of Paraguay. However, four of the vehicles will have engine trouble, and it is up to YOU to decide which four vehicles they are.

Just like the taxis in the last leg, these vehicles are numbered 1 through 11. The first four numbers I receive from the audience are the official numbers I use for this. An audience member can only send me one number to use. Send me a back-up number too, just in case.

The four teams that choose the four unlucky vehicles will have 6 minutes added to their time.

AUDIENCE: Another task for you!

Teams are going to need directions from the locals to the next Pit Stop. However, not all teams can get perfect directions, right?

Four teams will get lost due to bad directions. I need four audience members to PM me the team that you want to receive bad directions. Send me a back-up team, just in case.

The four teams that get lost will have 7 minutes added to their time.

Oh, and if the audience wants to, they may start sending me their team rankings for this leg. Remember, the first leg was non-elimination so all 11 teams are still in the race. Check the first post of this thread for the leader board.

Drive yourselves to Chovoreca and search for the Town Hall, where you will find your next clue.

RACERS: It's time to choose a vehicle! All I need is one person from your team to say a number, 1 through 11. You can't choose a number already taken.
