How did you know it was Europe only? Did he say? I totally eliminated Europe from my guess actually because we did Europe last game, so I thought we were doing a different continent... Lol...

It's going to be held in Europe again, mostly because of the huge number of countries and relatively short distance between the cities.


But don't worry Sara, you were not the only one :duh: xD

Okay, let's make it official - we'll be doing it again! Why? Because it looks like the previous competition wasn't a total disaster (which was my fear when whe began edition 1 xD). Last time you managed to end the Race in about a month and we were doing it during the JESC season. Now it's the ESC season and i have a feeling that it might be even a shorter one, as we have some experienced and great players here. Hopefully, all of you who took part in edition 1 will join again! And of course, new players are more than welcome to take part!

The rules and the main concept of the game remains the same, as the majority of players wanted no major changes. To be honest, even though i was thinking of adding some twists, i have to agree that keeping it quite simple is the best possible way for two reasons. Firstly, the simplier the rules, the more ppl the game attracts. Secondly, i'm not exactly a great host for too complicated games. The main rules can b found in the previous edition thread. If you have any questions considering the rules, do not hesitate to ask.

The main change is the new name of the Race, as it reflects the character of the game much better. It's more or less a mix of the Amazing Race, the Survivor and our own Forum game. It's going to be held in Europe again, mostly because of the huge number of countries and relatively short distance between the cities. However, i am seriously thinking about the North American edition as an experiment once the one is over. I was also thinking of a team competition but we'll try it in the future as well and see how it works.

Of course, the Race does not start today but this thread serves as a guarantee that the Race is about to begin! When? Right after Easter (Tuesday)! The start/final destinations are already decided but i believe it wouldn't be the best idea to start it on Easter Sunday.

However, before the Race begins, i'd like to know how many players we have. So, if you want to play, please confirm your participation by writing I'm in in this thread before Monday! I'm asking for this because the format of the game might vary slightly depending on the number of players. I'd like to assure everyone that the Race will start regardless of the number of players. But of course: the more, the better!

That'd b it for now! Please join the adventure and let's have an amazing race once again! :thumbsup:

Here Sara and Annika, he mentioned that. :P

STAGE 2

Welcome to Stage 2! Hold on, we're still on Stage 1, as nobody has left the starting point yet! But one of you was amazingly close. Before i reveal more details, let me congratulate those of you who read the whole thread carefully and therefore limited their research to one continent only. However, i have to admit that Dara's suggestion to make the next Race global was a good one and we absolutely need to organize a global edition in the future.

Enough about the future, as we have to focus on what's going on now. You already know the country where you were supposed to go to begin the Race. The Swiss landscape is indeed very picturesque and mountains and lakes are omnipresent there. The pic you had to analyze was taken in the Olympic Park next to the museum in Lausanne. And that's the place where your adventure will begin.

Okay, so the starting line has been finally reached and now it's time to move towards the final destination! I hope you remember this pic:

I can tell you that it's not exactly the place you're looking for! However, if you keep this pic with you, it might help you put two and two together on one of the future Stages.

After losing so much time (i probably deserve most of the blame for that), you might want to take a look at some further clues.

Posted ImagePosted Image

I cal tell that both pics were taken far, far away from our destination. But once you localize them, you might find the connection!

So, there's nothing more i can say now! Good luck to all the players!

SETTINGS FOR STAGE 2

Starting point: Lausanne, Switzerland
Distance limit: 250 kilometers
Others: -
Bonuses: no bonuses can be won on Stage 2
Elimination: nobody will be eliminated after Stage 2

Important notes:

- Those of you who won bonuses on Stage 1 (Kosmas & Caroline) get 200 km extra. You might use your bonus on any Stage of the Race and don't have to use the whole 200 kms on one Stage only (eg. if your Stage 2 route is 300 kms, you'll have 150 bonus kms left).

- Stage 3 will begin on Sunday. Those of you who don't send your Routes by Saturday evening (CET), will stay in Lausanne. The player who doesn't move during two consecutive Stages, will be removed from the Race.


So, good luck & have fun!

Thank you everyone for participating! I got messages from 9 players, which means that Stage 3 will begin tomorrow morning (CET)!

From what i see so far, this Race will be much more interesting than the previous one and Switzerland was a great choice for starting the competition indeed! If u wanna know why, check this thread tomorrow ;)

One of the players exceeded the distance limit and therefore has to edit their move. They will be informed about that shortly!

Edit - problem solved xD
