"Be the Amazing Racer 15"
Posted by Seana on 09-15-09 at 12:57 PM
Another season of The Amazing Race is about to begin! I'm actually excited this time, having been less enthusiastic for the last couple seasons.

So let me explain how this works, for those of you who are new to our boards, or to this game:

BTAR is a role-playing game invented by the lovely and talented Angelfood some years ago. You sign up to “speak” as one of the contestants.

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, she stopped to pee instead of racing to the mat? Or when he led his sister all around the mountains for no reason? 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:

Yay!


agman: I have a new graphics program, so I think I can do sigs, but if I can't, will you be backup?

I have a tradition to uphold in BTAR. Who's worthy of following in these footsteps?



*looks at bios*
*scratches head*

Well... All right, I'll take Tiffany.


"Play expert, you n00b." - Max's DS

Hot Chips, indeed.


"Seems I always..."
Posted by jbug on 09-15-09 at 03:08 PM
choose to be the 'oldie but goodie' racer, so why change now?

I'll play Marcy. Besides, dang she looks good for 60!

bits & pieces from their bio:
Marcy and Ron both believe that at 60 you can be strong, sexy, vibrant and energetic. .....
Marcy is not your typical 60-year-old; she attends flying trapeze classes, studies Kung Fu and rock climbs with Ron. ..... Marcy is a nationally recognized advertising photographer, ...... Marcy speaks several languages. ...... Marcy is spontaneous, impulsive and easily distracted. .... she prefers to tackle problems head-on.

Tag Line: "I'm not your typical 60 yr old."

Can I be Meghan please? I 'll have to think of a tag line and post it later. I am hoping after watching the first episode I'll get some ideas or someone will post some lovely snark in these forums that will work!

Thanks!

I could use some "freshening up".


You try living in a dirty cave. btw: I am not Al Qida! *pushes Bin back in closet*
WAIT, that's "Ben"! He's my pet rat!
BEN!

"RE: Come to think of it"

I sort of think of the Gnome as some kind of ominous overseer from Travelocity...

Thanks Seana! I must get out from under my bridge more often.

If, when I watch the episode, this turns out not to be Dan, I'll change the picture.

And welcome!

I haven't done this in ages, but I'll play this season.

May I be Herbert?

So nice to see you! Is this the first male character you've ever played?

"RE: Be the Amazing Racer 15"
Posted by LibraRising on 10-05-09 at 11:13 AM
Ha! You know, it just might be! At least in TAR. I believe I played a male in Survivor a few times. As long as I never have to play Linda Weaver again!
