The Amazing Race: Season 2

[IdahoSciGuy]

The Sun rises upon the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Fall is in the air, and so is the smell of anticipation. In only 7 short months, hundreds of competitors, and thousands of people will descend on this small state capital, to compete for ultimate glory. Today however, 9 people stand ready to embark on a trip of a lifetime, to encircle the world, From the barren terrain of the Sahara, to the bustling streets of Europes largest cities. It will take stamina, knowledge, and just a little bit of luck. The path will be hard. The pressure will be overwhelming. The glories of winning will be immense. These clues are ready. Are you?
This is: The Amazing Race

1. The next nine people to post will be participating in the race. You will be racing to solve clues quickly and efficiently.
2. The race contains ten legs. Each leg contains several clues pointing to your next destination. The clues get more difficult as the race goes on. When you correctly complete one clue, you will receive your next clue as soon as possible. We can’t be on all the time, remember. Please send your answer to robodude, not me. Robodude will be the handler of clues, both recieving and sending. Also, how specific you are varies, from a certain city to a teritory/state or even just a country. We won't count off for being too specific, but we will count off for not being specific enough. You will be notified of how specific you need to be in the clue.
3. There are four different types of clues: Roadblocks, Detours, Pit Stops, and U-Turns. Anyone who has watched the Amazing Race should be able to pick up on this very quickly.
3A. Roadblocks are simply a clue pointing to your next destination.
3B. Detours give you the option of selecting one clue or another. You can change which clue you wish to complete at any time with no penalty, and you only need to complete one to receive your next clue. The clues may point to different places.
3C. Pit Stops are the final clue of each leg. It is simply a Roadblock that points you to the leg’s final destination
3D. U-Turns, while not necessarily a clue, allow you to force a team to complete both parts of a detour. There are two U-Turns in this race in pre-determined legs, and you will be notified when you are eligible to activate a U-Turn. Once a U-Turn has been used, the decision is final and no teams may use the U-Turn for the remainder of the leg.
4. Anyone may post, and there are no limitations to what you post (other than spam!). However, you MAY NOT post the final solution to a clue. But before you post your ideas on a clue, remember that you may be helping another contestant! We won't limit relationships either. If you want to form an alliance, so be it. But the participants will send and be sent clues over PM’s. Once every team has received a clue, that clue will be posted for everyone to see.

I, IdahoSciGuy, will be hosting this game, and robodude has created the clues with assistance from me, and will be distributing the clues. He will also co-host in my absence. Let the race begin!*

I'm really excited about this round. Idaho and I have been working really hard on the clues, and I think that they're all great.

You don't want to miss this round!

EDIT: Pretty much this round is exactly like last round, just with IdahoSciGuy as the host instead of zyzzyva.
