The (new) PPT Amazing Race! - Game Over - Please Lock

Sat Aug 25, 2007 2:39 pm

PPT’s first ever Amazing Race! (well not really). But, let’s just say it is. Although, the old one died; this one will be jam-packed with action! Looking for 8 pairs of 2. Simply post to say that you wanna play. If you would still like to play, please find another partner that is willing to and PM the gamemaster ASAP!

1. CWisgood and Dyl (Eliminated Leg 5)
2. Susannahmio and Princess Miyu
3. WIS and Typhoon (Eliminated Leg 6)
4. Penguin and Pickles
5. Pix and Anoohilator
6. DM was on fire! and Roxas_X (Eliminated Leg 3)
7. Lovioneko (Eliminated Leg 2)


Rounds

Legs will last approx. 24 hours in length. The last team to PM the host (me) or not to PM the host at all : will be eliminated. Only one member of your team has to PM me. If no member on your team can be present on that day, please PM me.


Rules

At the beginning of the game, a starting location will be posted. Every round flight/transportation information will be posted (example below). Also, each round : you will be given a budget of 1000 points (spend it wisely)! As in don't stop for some uncessary expensive coffee. If have no money left, and you NEED it : you can choose to overspend and take money out from your budget next round. Though, if you DO have left over money : congratulations! That money gets added on to the next round's budget!

American Airlines, Flight 2038
From Miami to Lima
Departs at 3 PM EST arrives in Lima at 8 PM EST
Seats Left: 2
Cost: 250 points each
Status: One of the below



Flight Terminology

[DEPARTED] - The Plane has left.
[ARRIVED] - The Plane has arrived.
[FILLED] - The Plane is filled.
[OPEN] - This plane still has available seats for you to book.

However, for filled flights : you can request to be on standby. However, there is no guarentee that you will make the flight.

PM the game master, to book a flight. Once you have booked your flight (see how to below), you are as good as on the flight : even if you don't show up online when the plane leaves. Once you land, clue information will be posted. Each clue, contains a task (naturally), like the example shown below. Note : Clue Information is posted at the beginning of the round, you may solve it before your plane lands, however you may not PM the gamemaster with the awnser until your flight lands.

Take one of the available vans to the city which has Yoriko Kishimoto as it's mayor. Then provide us with the address of this place, to recieve your next clue.

That is a challenge. You have to figure out what city it is talking about. Once you have figured it out, the awnser is : Palo Alto, California. PM the gamemaster back like the format below.


Code:
[b]Awnser:[/b] the Building is located at 1234 Fake Street.

When spending points for items and such, please use the format below.
