STAGE 1

Ten young travellers impatiently awaited the arrival of the game organizer. Some were already extremely tired, as they had to take a very long trip to the city, in which this crazy race was about to begin. Now all of them were standing in front of the monumental statue of Poseidon at the end of Göteborg's Avenyn - city's finest street. Normally, they would most probably admire the beauty of the downtown but at that moment they didn't pay attention to it at all. Hundreds of questions were crossing their minds. The most common one was: "Why am I taking part in this? It is insane!".

Suddenly, a not-so-tall man appeared out of nowhere and greeted them:

"Welcome! Welcome to Göteborg! At first, i must say that i really admire your bravery. You decided to come all the way to Scandinavia without reaally knowing what to expect here. You decided to overcome your fears and take part in a competition which at first glance seemed to be the product of someone's sick imagination. To be really honest, i didn't expect so many of you to come. That's why i'm afraid, i'll have to start with some bad news. 9 of you will go home with nothing. But for one of you, this will surely be a life-changing adventure. 10 million Swedish Crowns are waiting for you in our final destination. You probably wonder how much is that? Well, it's more than enough to settle down in Europe, Oceania, America or any place in the world. It's more than enough to open a brand new strip club on the main city of Prague. It's even more than enough to buy a half of the Örkelljunga Municipality. However, i have to warn you that the Race will be very tough. My advice is to read the hints well and just listen to your hearts. They will show you the right way .."

After a long introduction he handed every of them an envelope and a cell phone.

"Well, that's it for today. I wish you good luck .. and a safe trip!" - he said and disappeared in the thick fog.

All envelopes contained the same postcard:

On the other side of a postcard there was written: During the whole trip number nineteen should be your lucky number.

SETTINGS FOR STAGE 1

Starting place: Göteborg
Distance limit: 300 kilometers
Other: you have to end this stage in a city, whose name does not begin with a vowel
Bonuses: no bonuses can be won on Stage 1 (first bonuses will apeear on Stage 2)
Elimination: nobody will be eliminated after stage 1 (first elimination after Stage 3)


***


Okay, it's time to begin the fun part. Just a quick reminder of the rules to all of you:

- we are using Google Maps for moving from place to place. The link of the web site is http://maps.google.com/ . In order to "move" you click on "Get directions" on the left-hand side of the page.

- you move by sending a PM in this format:
Starting point:
Final destination:
Distance:

- you have to end each single stage in a city/town which is on a map (not on the road inbetween two cities).

Good luck & have fun!

Btw. of course in this thread you can (but don't have to) talk abt the Race (just like in the RPG games). However, you cannot reveal the name of the city you are currently in. Reports from the game, as well as further hints, will be presented in this thread after every stage.

This is hard :/ I'm not sure...so the hint you gave was for the final destination we are trying to get to? And the person with the least miles traveled is best at the end of the game? Sorry if you explained this and I missed it xD

Regarding your questions: all the hints are somehow related to the final destination you are going to reach.

You begin every next stage from the city in which you ended the previous one.

The winner is the person who reaches the final destination (which means: ends his/her stage in the final destination) first. In other words, the one who needs the least number of stages to reach the destination, becomes the winner.

Once the first person reaches the final destination, (s)he takes all the money and the game is over xD

Go to google maps, type in the city, click directions, type in your ending city whereever you are going. then hit "get directions" then it says "Driving directions to your city" how long it takes and how many KM it is.
