Okay, so I'd been planning to do this for a while but now that I'm in a big region it seems like it would be all the more fun. So, here's what I'm going to do.
Those of you familiar with Amazing Race will not need an explanation. Depending on the length of the race / number of available episodes, between 10 and 12 teams of two will race around the AO region for a shot at one million doura. The team that finishes last each leg will be eliminated until the competition is narrowed to three finalist teams competing for the big prize. The race will start and end in Pacitalia but AO nations signed up here on the boards can contribute destinations and places within the country of which the teams can visit during the race. There will be detours, road blocks, yields, fast forwards, pit stops, non-elimination legs...and, of course, language barriers.
However, you will not know whether your destination is included in the race, like in RL. You'll just have to wait for each episode to come out.
Any takers? I'm looking for at least 20 destinations, but I hope for 30. Any leftover destinations and countries will most definitely be included in version 2 of this, if I decide to do it. And we might do a version where international contestants are allowed to participate.
If you need more information on The Amazing Race, check out the CBS.com show website or the Wikipedia article. |

Haven't you ever seen the show? They use whatever mode of transportation they need to get around. Or whatever the producers say they have to use. Chariot, taxi, rental car, airplane, ferry, bike, walking... anything to get them to the next destination. |

It's on CBS, right? CBS broadcasts in this little country called America, you may have heard of it. I, however, live somewhat to the east of this place, in a far-off quaint land called England, where we dont get CBS. |

Sarzonia would be more than willing to provide destinations, such as the headquarters of the world famous Portland Iron Works, the USS Constitution museum, the Naval Museum, Bryan Marshall Stadium, and others just dying to be included. |

Nedalia definitely has some destinations in mind, such as the Shamsa Desert and the Bren-Brooks Wildlife Reserve (in collaboration, ofcourse, with Bettia.) |

Hockey Canada would be willing to add some cold entries as destinations. The barren mountain cities of Omsk and Irkutsk in the Snow Desert should be enough.
BTW Sarz, Nice signature |

Falcania would like to join. We have many many places to do this shiznitz, such as the Tigris mountains and Featbridge Square.
Edit: For us English people with satellite, apparently there are some reruns on LIVINGtv2, and in Singapore it is repeated on Wednesdays on Channel 5.
Edit2: Is there any limit to the vehicles you can compete in?

It depends on where you need to go. If a destination is down the road from the clue box, you'd walk. If it's a couple clicks away, you'd bike or take a ferry. 10-800km you'd be given a car by the show, or a taxi. Over that, you'd get air tickets.
That kind of thing. |
