Hello, and welcome to The Amazing Race!
Now, I know what your thinking; "Uhh, it's over the internet. How exactly are we supposed to race?"
But, trust me, it's possible!
Now, more to the point, my actual idea!

Hello and Welcome to The Amazing Race! Based on the origional series, this will test your mind, teamwork skills, and much more!
So, what do we do?_______________
What do YOU do?
Why, make a decision, watch or race, it's as simple as that!
Markers, and other points of mention____
- A Detour presents the team with a decision between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. The decision on which task to attempt lies solely with the team. A team may choose to switch tasks as many times as they wish with only a five minute aditional time added to their final result. Once a team has completed one of the tasks, they are given the clue to their next location.
- The U-Turn, is always placed immediately after a Detour. A team, after completing their Detour option, may use their U-Turn ability to force another team to backtrack and complete the Detour option they did not previously complete. Like the Yield, the team placing the U-Turn posts the name of the team they are penalizing in the U-Turn marker thread. It is possible for a team to U-Turn a team that has already completed the Detour, nullifying its effects. A team can only use their U-Turn power once per Race, and only one team may be affected by the same U-Turn during a leg. Teams are warned of an upcoming U-Turn on or just after the Detour clue.
- The Fast Forward clue is given with one of the Route Markers during a leg when it is offered, providing an alternate task that a team could complete. The first team to complete this task would then receive a clue directing them to the leg's Pit Stop, bypassing all other tasks in the leg; any other team that tried for it will have lost time and must follow the standard Route Marker clue. Teams can only win one Fast Forward per Race;. However, teams that win the Fast Forward are not guaranteed to win the leg and may still be eliminated if they are last to Pit Stop.
- The Yield, allows any one team to force another team to give them one of their clues. If a team Yielded another team, they would post that team's name. When the Yielded team find the Yield, they choose a letter to give to the team. A team may only use their Yield power once on the race, and only one team may be Yielded when the Yield is available, though the same team can be Yielded multiple times during the same Race. If the yielded team gives the other team a letter that they already have, they are not at liberty to give them another one.
How do we race?__________________
Throughout my posts, and those of a select few 'trustworthy forumers' will be clues, leading to places in which to do an activity. Once the activity is completed, myself or a trustworthy forumer gives that team a letter. Each week at least 4 activities must be complete, and that weeks activity will have a theme. Once you get all four letters, you must arrange them to form a password connected with what you think the theme was. The last team to email me the password will be eliminated.
Do we work in pairs?_______________
No. To incooporate teamwork, there will be teams of 4.
What rules would be inforced?___________
Well, other than the standard forum rules, there would be some aditional rules, such as,
- Don't get outside help for clues
- 'Trustworthy Forumers' must not give hints
- Don't deliberately disadvantage other teams. Unless you get a yield or U-Turn.
- Honesty is really important in this, don't cheat, it's not cool, and chances are everyone will just get angry.
To the most important part..._________
The prize! The prize is a handmade, limited edition signature and matching avvy, as well as another, more secretive prize!

Well, that's my idea, Hope you like it, and I'll be happy to answer any questions!
