You know...if it weren't for JUST flying? Then I win. HA! Read the signature...Superspeed for the win, baby. lol

Actually it is viable but not on this fourm. I have seen it done where you get ten participants. You post the first marker and then the second and third and so forth and so on. Then each person posts a post describing their approach and how the scene looks as they get there or pass it and then you look to the seconds on the time stamp to determine your place as you get there. Like say the first marker was...Hawaii for example? Then I would post looking at palm trees and coconuts and volcanos and when I posted, if it went through at 5: 45: 03, then I would be in third place since the final digit was a 3. I hope I didn't confuse anyone with that but since this forum only posts up the hour and minute so the idea isn't viable.

An alternative is to roleplay the race by posting up your post and then others make votes based on how well you posted...how descriptive it was...the typos and grammar also factor into it. Each judge would base everyone on a scale of 1-10 (no fractions please). The participants then make a post and each judge votes in pm and one of them posts up the totals for each participant. Now it can be simple as the winner is the one who has the most points of you can complicate it by the one with the highest total at the end of post 1 is in first place...then second...then third and so forth and so on. Then, the person who wins round 2 can jump up one spot so that if they were 3rd after the first round but then they have the most points on the second round, it puts them up to 2nd but not 1st. But a race is not something that is weird or unplayable on a forum. It can be done, it just depends on if you guys reallllllllllllllly want to do it or not.
