The Amazing Race 2: PPT Edition

Will the leg last indeterminately if people don't get to the pitstop?!

No, it will start regardless either sometime tommorow or on Friday. Most likely tommorow.

Light, can I just remind you that Friday is a holiday in the US? I don't know how many people will actually be around on that day :/

Then, Saturday. Somebody mentioned that I should label what is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. But, here are two things that need to be viewed before making a decision.

1. The element of reasearching a place. If I mark them 1,2,3; then I cannot hide the next place within a riddle.

2. The clues are relatively close to each other, and numbering them would make navigating very easy. However, Google felt it was necessary to REMOVE all street labels in this city. If there are no labels, you will have to open each clue to figure out which one goes next.

So you guys decide.

Could at least get on a schedule, maybe 12:00 EST every morning or something? If you just randomly pop up with the next leg, people might not be around to get on any flights, so everyone's at a disatvantage.

Oh, and do you know that if you zoom out far enough, you can just see all of the clues? Is that cheating?

I think how it currently is, is fine.
I think that is the whole point, we are supposed to be on our toes waiting for the next legs and stuff. Wouldn't be much of a race if we all knew what was going to happen every minute. Though if a leg popped up at like 4am my time.. that would be bad.

I agree, I'm not going to be around for most of Friday with work and holiday and stuffs.

T_T I'm majorly confused, and it doesn't help that Lee and I are in different timezones so she's never on when I am.

I know! Let's all PM Light our schedules for the next several weeks so he can plan the game for what works for each of us best.

Less facetious, we can just let the one running the game run it how he wants too.






PS: I can't do July 5 since that is Tynwald Day, and I'll be out celebrating the whole time.

I tried my best to disable the zoom feature. If you are zooming out far enough, you're just cheating yourself. I'm not saying that you are cheating, just generalizing. Also, this year there is a little break between legs; though break times can vary. I will try avoiding scheduling during holidays and such, and for Sky's sake; I will postpone it to Sunday. And, I guess we will keep the clue system the way it is. And this is the Amazing Race, not the Convienent Race; the race is all about incovience (espically with flights). And we want to create a realistic game, so posting a schedule may be too easy.

I see. I won't rant anymore.

Wow! I can't believe that worked. Tynwald Day isn't even celebrated in the US. I was just picking a holiday on July 5 just to prove how utterly ridiculous everyone was being. Too bad I didn't choose St. Cyril & Methodius Day. Seriously though, the 6th is Eino Leino Day and the 7th is Saba Saba. We should all have a day off to remember these holiest of holy days.

Okay, then -- back to Saturday.

So you're saying all the Americans who are celebrating the 4th of July, who won't be online, and felt it polite to inform the host of that fact, are being "utterly ridiculous".

Thanks a heap.
