The Amazing Online Race - Season 5 (unfinished)

[nyuguy]

I'm sure Marlo & Laurie could be persuaded to come back from Elimination Station to take their place

Although I hope Angel can be found. I'm sure she would love to play.

[nawlinsgal]

Okay was this a trick get us excited to play again then not...lol

[CFK]

No, I said I was going to put up the challenge over the weekend

Sadly I haven't heard back from AngelOfWater yet, or I would have put it up sooner So we may need a temporary replacement before officially restarting it.

[Erika]

CFK, if you want Angel's Email address - I can look it up for you. Just let me know.

[CFK]

Hi Erika, as long as that's not an abuse of power or anything, that would be good (or if there's anyway to send an official 'site' email that would be great).

I will put up the leg this weekend regardless but sort out the deadlines once the missing castmember issue is resolved

[Erika]

As long as you don't spam her or anything else, I honestly don't believe she'd have a problem with me giving you her email address. I personally don't think in this instance it would be an 'abuse of power' - I've PMed it to you.

[AngelOfWater]

Thanks so much for emailing me about this, I definitely want to continue, I love this game sooooo much!!!

I was checking it pretty often but then I just stopped cause it felt like a lost cause, so glad it's back up and running!

[Dennis]

Welcome back Angel!

[AngelOfWater]

Thanks Dennis!

It was funny I got the email and I"m like who the heck is that?

[Acfan]

Yey! Glad to see you back playing Angel!

[CFK]

This is a bumper double leg (though each leg will be graded separately to determine the rankings).

Part 1 - Belgium

FLIGHT

There is no flight for Leg 8, so relax

DETOUR

GUILD, if you're good at reading
BUILD, if you're good at writing

ROADBLOCK

A very traditional task based around the traditions of the Belgian Paardevissers - horseback fishermen.

To test your skills on a horse: http://www.freefishinggames.biz/game...e-Herding.html
To test your spear-fishing skills: http://www.freefishinggames.biz/game...-Shooting.html

Get a screenshot of the highest score you can in those games - combined rankings will determine the overall score.

Part 2 - The Netherlands

[NB: one of Daniel/nyuguy's rewards for winning TAOR4 was choosing a country for the next season - Daniel chose Holland. Luckily for his competitors, he was eliminated before getting the hometown advantage![

FLIGHT

Teams must make their way from Ostend, Belgium to Schiphol Airport, Holland, from 16th of August 2010. How you finished in the previous leg will determine your departure time:

1st - Martin/Kayleigh - 8:00am
2nd - Leonard/Jessica - 8:20am
3rd - Max/Helena - 8:40am
4th - Graham/Missy - 9:00am
5th - Clark/Elisha - 9:20am

DETOUR

WATERWAY, if you can count.
WHAT TO WEIGH, if you can weigh.

ROADBLOCK

This is a timed task that will be PM-ed tomorrow.

FAST FORWARD

Graham/Missy and Leonard/Jessica are the only remaining teams who can use their Fast Forward. If you choose to use it, you must specify whether you want to try for it in Leg 8 or Leg 9.

REWIND

There is no Rewind on either leg of the race.

DEADLINE

As it's the first leg(s) back after a long absence, and it is Easter, I will leave this fairly loose - pick your Detours within the next few days and hopefully get everything done by next Sunday.

[CFK]

Leg 8 & 9 details up - get ready to race again

[Daniel]

Omg I'm so sad now that we were eliminated Good luck everyone!

[CFK]

Omg I'm so sad now that we were eliminated

If it's any consolation, I am sure I will make lots of horrible geographical mistakes in the recap when showing the times it takes to travel between all the Dutch locations

[kungfuhippie]

I had no idea we were ready to play again. I haven't looked at this thread for ages. I guess my partner neglected to inform me
