I have a question...If I join the team, and then suck, I guess that hurts the team right? How much damage can one persons suckage do overall?

BTW, I just now (5 minutes ago) got my confirmation email, took them two days for some reason. Yay!

Crossfire,don't worry about sucking,we all have good weeks and BAD weeks. Nobody cares ,it's all for fun! We do however, want everyone who signs up to play each week. We're a league,we stick together,and help each other out. You can ask advice or opinions,everyone knows we have plenty of those around here!

Goooooooooo team!

2 year veteran at MW Survivor, but MW Amazing Race rookie!

ED - Essence, I hope you don't mind but I put a mention of your thread in the Survivor MediaTramp thread to recruit those who were playing.

I am good for weekly picks, the big question is will I pick weakly?

Okay ....... I've never watched TAR before, but so many of my Survivor friends here at TVCH have prompted me to do so, that I'm just going to have to try it out. I went over to Realiiity.com to sign up, and realized I had forgotten the password, so I can back here........and while I was at it, I brought the following explanation of the game to you from them:

What is MediiiaWhore: Amazing Race?

MediiiaWhore is like fantasy football, except without the football. And really there's not a whole lot of fantasy either. Okay then. There are two ways to get points) in MediiiaWhore:

1. Answer questions correctly about the show to come. Flex those spoiling muscles. Every round you'll be asked questions like "Who will be eliminated?" and "Will anyone take the Fast Foward?" (you'll get used to those) along with more random questions like "Will Aaron pick his nose?" Every question you get right, you get points, it's that simple.

2. Have a high scoring team. You get to pick a team of several contestants (the exact number goes down throughout the season) and after every show the gods that are the MediiiaWhore webmasters will score each contestant on The Seven Deadly Sins. You get a point for every point your team rakes in. Bonuses are awarded for challenges won and points are penalized for votes against and being kicked off the show.

That's the gist, the rest you'll learn as you play. The person with the most points at the end of the season wins.

So play already.

All right Ginger! Glad you're going to watch and play!

(Truth be known, I like TAR better than Survivor, but don't tell anyone!)

Ok, I signed up. I've had so much fun with Survivor's game and have nevered watched this before. So any help anybody can give will be greatly appreciated. Is this spoiled like Survivor? When do we make our picks for teams and will somebody help me make a choice for teams? I have no clue about any of them. Thanks.

So we have to make a guess about who wins before we've ever even seen the first show??? And then stick with that pick thru-out the season???

twinks you do have to make blind picks for the 1st show, but you are not stuck with those picks thru the whole season, you can change weekly.

grannyg, the spoiling is not like survivor at all, in fact i don't think there were too many spoilers, may have to check out the other tar's to see if there were.

Thanks, square. I guess I'll join then. I've just never been one for making wild guesses early on in a show whether its TAR or Survivor or BB. I usually like to catch at least 4 or 5 shows before I start trying to make an informed guess. But, hey, since I don't have to stick with my initial choice I'll give it a shot.

Ok, I've signed up and I'm at the realiiity.com: The Amazing Race site. Now how do I find our team? Remember I'm new at this guys!

Well, so far I hate Realiiity.com. I've had popups about every 30 seconds even tho I have a popup killer. It also wanted to install Bonzi Buddy, which is the most hideous thing in the universe.

Twinkie, go to leagues and then look up TVCH Racers. Down at the bottom is where you join that league. It ask for the password and that's where you type in "realitynuts" without the quotes and then you are done!! I don't know anything else about the picking teams or answering questions but I'm hoping before it's time to do that someone here will give some insights on that.

I don't see Leagues listed anywhere. Can you post the URL?

Twinkie..I agree the popups suck there!! I only go to that site to make my picks and to check results, then I get out fast!!! Someone told me they made a 5.00 donation to them and the popups stopped.
I thought someone posted the link above somewhere.
I also agree this game is harder to predict than Survivor, but is fun to play.
Are they open for picks yet?

twinks once you are on the realiiity main page, click shows, then click amazing race, the screen should show golddigger and mediawhore, click mediawhore, log in, then go to leagues, use the pull-down menu and look for our team, click on it, give the password, and you are in. once you are in go to picks and answer the questions and pick 3 teams, of course you have to wait till it officially opens to actually make the picks though.

Twinkie, didn't mean to leave you high and dry about the leagues but my electricity went off and it just came back on. Sorry!! Hope you found the link but just in case you didn't here you go......

TVCH Racers

Hope this works because I've already joined so it shows me the league. If it doesn't I'll try again, Twinkie.

Hi Twinks!! Yes,the popups over there are killer. You can donate any amount to them on paypal,and they'll turn them off. Even a dollar will do. The mods are amateurs,and they pay for the site with all those nasty popups plus donations.
It's a tough site to navigate when you're new to it too. Keep looking around,you'll figure it out.
The games they have make it more than worth the effort it takes to learn to get around the site.

I would like to try this also. I'm even willing to send a buck to end the every-two-seconds-pop-ups, lol. However, while I have registered easily enough, and I can view they TVCH Racer board ~ it is listed as private and I do not see where to join. Do I send Essence a message?

nevermind ~ I think I know what I did wrong ~ off to try one more time, :0)

Kappy

Sunday, May 18, 2003 - 02:36 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Nope ~ that didn't work either. I see a box to put in U (user name) and a box for your password. But I don't see where one "signs up" to be part of a team or where they put the team password. I'll check in again in a few days. Thanks ahead to all of you above who have been helping out us newbies at this!

kappy did you register with media who#e? once you do, you go to 'shows' and find the amazing race game. click on it and then go to 'leagues'. find the 'tvch racers' and click on them. it will show it as private. put the password of 'realitynuts 'and you should be on the league.
i am on another league, but will also join tvch if they let us be on more than one. last year they cracked down and you could only be on one private league, but all the public leagues you wanted.

GO TEAM!

I have played the mediawhore game before but never for amazing race but I think it is probably the same in that it is important to vote in time every week. Should we have a thread to discuss the questions and encourage voting when the time comes.

Yes!! we should discuss what we can figure out, or guess and encourage voting..

I usually keep a list of the ranking each week and who has already taken the fast forward and post that and others come up with lots of great info and speculation.

Will be interesting to see who the Welcome Message hates this season.. you can imagine it wasn't real high on Flo last time :)

Oh and I sent them a donation to stop the popups and it has been well worth it.. not to mention I play several of their games, so didn't mind contributing.
