UPDATES
All you need to do is to post what updates pop for your team. Simply copy and paste what you are told to do.

Example:

*Run to bags and rip clue!*

Mooyou would post: *Run to bags and rip clue!*

TASKS AND LEG STRUCTURE

• The race is divided into a number of legs. The end of each leg has a pit stop. Majority of pit stops are elimination points, that means if you arrive last, you will be eliminated. Teams being spared from elimination are faced with a Speed Bump the next leg - an extra task they need to perform in order to continue racing. 1 of the legs Superleg - with two detours and two roadblocks.
  
• Legs will usually last 1 - 2 hour/s, depending on how fast you complete the tasks.
  
• Only a maximum of 6 roadblocks can be completed by each team-member during the entire race.
• All teams may only use the Fast Forward once during the Race.
• The Yield is evicted from the racecourse.
• Five types of tasks will appear: SKILL TASKS (involves your skill, arts, writing, creativity - in short - gay tasks) RESEARCH TASKS (this needs more brain juice than the skill one) SPEED TASKS (unless Yuku fucks off), LUCK TASK (bitchy skank task capable of rawbbage) and the FINAL TASK.
  

MONEY

• At the start of every leg, money will be handed out to every team.
• Teams may convert their money to their desired currency anytime during the race.
• Begging: This season there are two ways to beg for money.
• 1) teams will be introduced to a begging rate for every leg (example: 1000 YEN = 4 UPDATES). In order to beg, teams will have to post *Beg for money!* and must wait for the certain time/update in order to claim their cash.
  
• 2) Fellow teams AHEAD of a team that does begging may donate any amount they wish and in any number of times they want, however, in order for the begging team to claim it, they must reach the said clue where the team donated. Furthermore, the team needing the money cannot do any other action than claiming the money during the update. Teams may beg using both of these ways only ONCE during the race (so it's a total of two times).
• Bonus Money: Teams will be getting bonus money in two ways: 1. A Prediction Round which comprises of arranging the team's arrival at the Pit Stop, and 2. Quotes chosen by the public. Teams will be notified of their bonus money only before the leg starts, and will be responsible in adding it to their base cash.

AIRPORTS AND TRANSPORTATION

• Contrary to other seasons, Airports and Transportation will work differently this time.
• AIRPORTS: Teams will now be given options to reserve their tickets via: A) Calling the Airline B) Internet Booking aside from the normal running to the counters and purchasing airline tickets. This season will also include a queue order, contrary to a mash up of Yuku-bumped posts.
• TRANSPORTATION: This season, some of the prices of taxis and some other forms of transport will not be fixed, allowing for haggling. Teams will be told a base level they can pay they taxi-driver. Paying over a certain (unrevealed) amount, will lead to a happier and more eager to please driver and therefore a faster journey. Teams may also get away with paying under the base level if they are eager to save money; however, paying below a certain (unrevealed) amount will cause their journey to take a lot longer than necessary.
• Buses and Subway trains have static fares that must be paid unless specified.

CONTROVERSIES

• Of course, all games have their set of controversies. In this case, if we skip you or so in an update, please announce it in the thread so that we can make the necessary arrangements. Unless we call the decision as final, nothing is final during the leg. Elimination challenges may occur when we do not call a decision when times call for it.
• YUKU-BUMPED POSTS NEED PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE. If you don't have a photographic evidence, then we won't allow you to do the decision unless it's pretty obvious. If Yuku is down for more than 20 minutes during the leg, then the leg is postponed to the next date available.
