"Be the Amazing Racer 12 Signup"
Posted by Seana on 10-26-07 at 09:32 AM
It’s that time again. Time for a new season of The Amazing Race and therefore a new season of Be the Amazing Racer! Come all ye newbies and past players!

What is this “Be the Amazing Racer” game, you may ask. Well, it's a role-playing game invented by the lovely and talented Angelfood some years ago. You sign up to “speak” as one of the contestants.

Here is the current Survivor version.

Be funny, be snarky. Bash ‘til your little heart’s content. No-one wins at the end, so there’s no competition. Do you think you know what was going on in a Racer’s head when say, he kept walking away from Phil during an elimination? Or when she got stuck doing all the guy tasks? Post it here!

RULES
1. Casting: Sign up for a Character from the show to speak for/represent (reply below). One spot per character - first come basis. You may not be someone already taken or reserved. I try to be fair and work it out if there is a problem.

2. Please post at least once a week/episode, at least until your team is eliminated, after that - optional, you may still add comments. If you're going be out just send me a PM. If you miss 2 weeks without notice, I will have to reassign the character.

3. Sign the bottom of EVERY post you write with your Racer’s name or picture. Characters are difficult to keep track of. I will make up sig pics.

4. Speak as your character would speak, and speak for them. Share your character's inner thoughts about what happened in the episode, and what they think of the other Racers. Praise, tease or bash away. Be funny.

5. Have fun, this is not for SERIOUS bashing. Also, be careful not to post any big spoilers (like who is going). Don't bash other players personally.

6. If your character is eliminated, you get the privilege of writing your own "final remarks", so PLEASE DO. You are encouraged to continue to post from Sequesterville.

7. If your character wins, you win.... the coveted title of Be the Amazing Racer Winner and that is all.

8. Anyone not signed up as a character/Racer, is still invited to make comments about the characters or about posts, just please do not speak as a character - just be a cameraperson, taxi driver, menu item, etc.

By all means PM me if you have a question or whatever. Feel free to suggest your own tag line.
Here are the Racers:

Kynt and Vyxsin

Jennifer and Nathan

Kate and Pat

Ronald and Christina

Shana and Jennifer

Azaria and Hendekea

Lorena and Jason

Nicolas and Donald

Ari and Staella

Marianna and Julia

Rachel and TK

For more details, please check out the RTVW article or the CBS official site.

I'd like to be Marianna.

No definite ideas for a tagline but either something about sisters or brunettes. (input from whoever is Julia for coordinating taglines would be great)

YAY Seana!!!

I've got to be Vyxsin. Not sure what the tag line should be yet. I'll try to think of something with a Southern Redneck White Trashy Goth swing to it.

Ok, sis, we're a team!

eta: Can't think of a tagline yet... can you think of one, sis?

"RE: Be the Amazing Racer 12 Signup"
Posted by ARnutz on 10-26-07 at 02:09 PM
Yay!!!

Hmmm... maybe something like "I'm the big brother" and "I'm the little sister" like those t-shirts they make for kids?

"RE: Be the Amazing Racer 12 Signup"
Posted by cahaya on 10-26-07 at 02:32 PM
You mean, like these and these?

Maybe Seana can do it in a cutesy-looking "kids script" font like on those t-shirts.

Those are perfect! *hopes Seana can do something like that on the siggies*

I used to watch that show! I quit cold turkey. I have hated every winner so far and that wasn't likely to change so why torture myself.

"RE: Be the Amazing Racer 12 Signup"
Posted by bystander on 10-26-07 at 03:04 PM
Clearly you're not suggesting AR wear this?

"RE: Be the Amazing Racer 12 Signup"

Hah, no!

But I've got one for you...

"RE: Be the Amazing Racer 12 Signup"

I think you should wear that one. It goes perfectly with your pink hairy whatsits.

Bet you think I want one of the blond bimbos! Not this time. I would like to be Lorena. I need a little bickering and fighting this season.

Oh, I can't wait for the bashing to begin!

eta: I am not sure of a tagline...maybe, "I want to get married...NOW!"

Welcome NanaWolf! Thanks for playing! Here is your sig:

Because your post count is low, I'm posting this tutorial on how to get and use a sig pic.

1. Click on "Reply with Quote" in this comment box.
2. Select and copy the URL you wish to use. The URL will begin with "http:";; and end with ".jpg"
3. Paste it into your posting.

It would be a good idea to paste the URL into a Word file (or somewhere handy) or into your User Profile for this site. (Click on Conferences, then up at the top, where it says "User" and select "Modify Account Profile and Set Options")

"This is a test"
