IANU AR 10 - TEAM REVEAL ON SATURDAY

After a LONG hiatus in the game hosting world, forums poster IANU is back with a vengeance! ImANewUser Amazing Race 10 will see a race that traverses 6 continents and thousands of miles, going through picturesque coasts and arid deserts, with other locales ranging from the urban jungles of London and Buenos Aires, to the untamed valleys of Ethiopia. Teams will experience thrilling new highs and new lows like never before! Most of the countries have also been unvisited in previous IANU ARs, so teams should expect the unexpected!

CLUE INFORMATION

Route Info: These clues generally give you your next destination or require you to perform an additional task before you can move on.

Detour: You have an option between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons.

Roadblock: Only one team member can do this task. No team member can do more than 8 (or 7, depending on whether I go through with the 15-leg schedule or stick to 13 legs) Roadblocks throughout the entire race.

Fast Forward: Finish this & you can go straight to the Pit Stop. THERE IS A FAST FORWARD EVERY LEG, EXCEPT FOR THE LAST TWO, SO USE YOUR FF WISELY.

Yield: There are going to be two in the entire Race. Yielding a team adds 3 U to their time. One of the two Yields will be blind.

U-Turn: There are going to be two in the entire Race. U-turning a team will force that team to do the other side of the Detour they previously did not complete. The time added will depend on the outcome of the Detour. One of the two U-Turns will be a Double U-Turn.

Intersection: Youll pair up with another team and work with them until further notice. Only one will appear in the entire Race, unless I plan to suddenly have a second Intersection.

Pit Stop: The end of a leg. There are normally no Pit Stop tasks, but I may throw in one last task if I feel evil. Wink

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

First Place Prizes: The winner of a leg will win a prize. The Leg 1 winner will receive an Express Pass, that will allow them to skip any task of your choice up until the 8th leg. Other prizes will vary between a 3 U headstart, additional $10 pocket money, additional $5,000 credit (huge, y'all <3) or a 2 U credit right before check-in. All wonderful prizes I must say. Wink

Eliminations: Im looking for 14 teams (big goal, I know), so well have 10 eliminations, with 4 non-elimination legs in-between. The penalty for coming last in a non-elimination leg is a Hazard, a regular task with increased difficulty for the team who came in last.

Updates: This is self-explanatory. Post whatever you need to post before the next update (~3-5 minutes) so you can move on.

Begging: You can beg for money at a rate of $3/U, or ask from a team to give you any amount. THE TEAM TO GIVE YOU MONEY HAS TO BE AHEAD OF YOU, ELSE THE TRANSACTION WON'T COUNT.

Money Exchange: Money will be converted on a leg-to-leg basis, depending on the country. There will be an update dedicated to exchanging money, so don't worry. Cheesy

Use this link to exchange your cash.

Switchback: Can appear at any time, and will be based on former IANU AR tasks. Wink

Episode Quotes: Episode quotes are a big thing. For the first seven legs, the team with the episode quote will have a credit of 1 U upon check-in the following leg (dont worry, legs wont be too linear). For the rest of the legs, sans the final leg, the prize is an additional $5. As Tim Gunn says, make it work.

Task Types: Tasks will vary. They include, but are not limited to:

research tasks (just send in the corresponding answer/picture/youtube clip/etc. to a question)
puzzle tasks (to complete this, post a screenie of the completed puzzle with your signature)
picture tasks (similar to those tasks where you are given a picture and will be asked to edit it accordingly)
flash games (same as puzzle tasks, but I will make sure slow servers can handle the games - from experience XD)
luck tasks (to complete this, pick the correct number - all luck tasks are random.org'd, so dw ^_^)
drawing tasks (self-explanatory)
skits (will vary based on the goal of the skit)
final memory task

Penalties: Penalties for missed tasks are as follows:

Detours 15 U
Roadblocks 8 U
Route Info Tasks ranges from 5 10 U, depending on the task itself
Money Conversions 3 U (1 U for not doing the task and 2 U for making me do it myself Tongue

)
Other Tasks no penalties unless otherwise stated

Your Credit Card: Unlike other Races, the money you spend on flights will play a big factor too. Your credit card will be reloaded an amount (normally $10,000) every three legs. The flight fare will be subtracted from your credit amount. Big FAT Note: If your flight fare exceeds the amount of cash left in your credit card, you will have a begging penalty of $50/U, so choose your flights wisely. Wink

Dont worry about this, as Ill be one to update your credit card spendings. <3

Proxies: Proxies are allowed for the first 10 legs of the race. A team can ask for a proxy at most twice (only needing a proxy once, or not all, would be encouraged), but no one can proxy for the same team more than once.

Other Questions: For other concerns, just post in the thread and Ill answer them! Cheesy

K just to let y'all know: so right now since no one's really getting here, I'm thinking of making this the alternate IANU AR10 thread (in case there are server issues with the original thread, venue to be announced).
