END OF STAGE 8

Message to those, who are getting ready for Stage 9:

"Cari amanti dell'aventura! How does feel to be so astonishingly close? So, close that you can almost touch it? Did you expect that one month ago, when you were standing in the windy North together with 9 other participants? What were your first thoughts after you left the city of Göteborg? Did you see yourself winning? Did you believe in your abilities back then? I think you had to. Otherwise, you wouldn't be staying here right now waiting for Stage 9 to begin. From now on "9" will be your lucky number. All you have to do is make the right move now .. and be faster than everyone else. There is an old saying that the second placer is nothing more than the best among the losers. Don't let yourself be one of them. Especially now, after having survived eight exhausting Stages of a Race. Yes, the worst part of the adventure is already behind you. Now it's the time to win. It's your time to win .."

I know you are most likely aware ofthe fact that the Race is really close. I can reveal that if the person residing furthest from the Final Destination was eliminated after Stage 8, there'd be four girls left in the Race. And three of them .. i mean three of you didn't make a single mistake so far and were coming closer and closer to our mysterious (not-so-mysterious at the moment) Destination during every single Stage.

Are there any other facts that i can tell you? Well, we are going to summarize the whole Race really soon. At least, i have such a feeling. So, i can start revealing some interesting facts now:

- four of you have been Race leaders, at least for one Stage

- interestingly, the person who's never been leading is not the furthest from the Final Destination at the moment

- if you're the person who's been to: Amberg, München, Skanderborg and Vaduz, you probably like to travel with some company. In all of those cities there was at least one other traveller at the same time as you

- if you've been to at least three cities that hosted/will host an ESC event, you're the one who's never been leading. But it does not matter that you don't have a chance to be the final winner

- if any of you followed the number nineteen from the very beginning, the Race would've been over by now

Yes, but it's not over and it's time for a new clue ..

END OF THE FORUM AMAZING RACE

It was more than two weeks ago when she realized where she's supposed to go. Since then there was only one name in her head. A name of a tiny city located in one of the Italian provinces. She was 99% sure that she was right, so all she cared about was being the first one to arrive there. After all, the other travelers might've guessed it as well. She kept going south and trying to convince herself that the prize was waiting just for her. But it was hard not to think about the possibility of someone else being closer. Even though, she didn't want to give up. After all, there was nothing to lose and so much to win. Now, when she was almost there, she thought of the whole Race and all the places she's been to. Most of them were in Germany but she had a chance to see a bit of Switzerland before entering Italy as well. Of course, at that point, she wasn't aware of the fact that the whole Race might've gone much worse. In fact, her adventure could've been over before it really begun. She barely escaped elimination at the very beginning. But as we all know, the border between the first and the last place is sometimes really thin. So thin, that it seems to be almost invisible. But what happened three weeks ago was not at all important now. Approaching the Final Destination was the only thing that mattered. The last ten kilometers were the most difficult part of the entire Race, as thousands of different thoughts were crossing her mind. But once she saw a sign telling that she's arrived there, for some reason she felt relieved. In the same moment she heard an already familiar sound; it meant that she's just gotten a message.

She reached for her phone and read it quickly. The message was nothing more than a name of a place. She was told to go to the San Limo Hotel. After a quick research, she knew how to get there. At that point she began to feel like a winner but remained focused. Now it was the worst possible time for a mistake. The Hotel was one of the finest in town. It looked deserted, yet really comfortable. She got a strange feeling that she saw this place already, which seemed impossible, as she's never been to Italy before. Suddenly, she remembered where does she know this sight from. This was the place pictured on a photo that she and 9 other travelers received before the first Stage of the Race! It was a proof that at least she was certainly in the right place.

There was nobody at the reception desk to greet her but she found an envelope with her name written on it. She opened it right away and found a room key. Room number 19 was waiting for her. From now on it was hard to hide the excitement. In the middle of the room there was a huge safe. All she needed now was to unlock it. Nevertheless, she had no idea what the secret combination was. But before she started panicking, another message came. "Your birthday" - it said.

If she understood the message correctly, she was not one step away from the Amazing Race Hall of Fame. With no hesitation, she set the code 1 .. 4 .. 0 .. 3 .. and after a while she saw it ..

Okay, so it's me again!

This post might be a little personal, but .. anyway! First, i'd like to thank everyone who joined the Race and apologize for everything that was wrong or unclear. I know that this Game wasn't perfect but even though i spent quite a lot of time preparing the Stages, i'd like to assure you that i enjoyed every single second of it! However, we'd be able to say that the Race was a success only if all of you actually shared at least part of the enjoyment! I'm really thankful for the feedback i received during the Race. Of course, i'm any further comments are appreciated, as i'll try to make this Game better in the future (if it turns out that it has any future)!

Some of you have already asked me about the next edition. Well, i'd love it to take place but of course it all depends on if there is some interest in continuing the Game. 10 (and everything above) is a perfect number of participants, so if we manage to get so many people in, we may think of starting something new in December or January. Actually, i thought that maybe it would be good to make the second edition a team competition (for the duos) but it's just a suggestion. That would be exciting but all depends on you!

Of course, now i can reveal many interesting facts from the Race that has just ended. I've made a database with the Routes of every player, so if anyone wants to revive their Route, i cam post them here. I can also answer all the questions concerning all the clues & any other issues concerning the Race. With the exceptions of the votings, which will remain secret. Actually, i might as well start doing it now but maybe the winner would like to explain some of the clues first. All in all, she had to understand them correctly, otherwise she wouldn't be our first Champion!

So, thank you once again! All of you were amazing! And congratulations to our winner!
