Pit Stop: The Pit Stop for this Race is the statue of Cristo Rey, located around the hills in Cali. It's sort of like the poor cousin of the Cristo Redentor in Rio de Janeiro. It offers decent views of the city and is also a great place to get mugged.

Post: *(team member) grabs gun and runs into mansion* Roadblock: Who's got a good eye and (quick reflexes) for celebrities? In this Roadblock, teams will be working for the leaders of an opposing drug clan, bent on impacting their rival's business by killing of some of his most famous clients. For each update, 6 profile pictures of various celebrities will be shown. To kill 1 of the celebrities, you must identify them correctly and then take aim. If another person performing the Roadblock beats you to the punch, then too bad, you must target someone else. You may fire a shot once per minute; once you have correctly identified and killed 4 celebrities, you may proceed to receive your next clue. DO NOT CHEAT. DO NOT EDIT YOUR POSTS IF SOMEONE BEATS YOU TO THE PUNCH OR IF YOU REALISED/THINK YOU POSTED WRONGLY, UNLESS YOU ARE JUST ADDING A CONFESSIONAL/SKIT.

Detour: Meth Face or Drug Brain In Meth Face, teams will proceed to a local NGO to help create educational materials against the abuse of drugs; they will be creating before/after shots depicting the effects of using methamphetamines. They have to list out 5 physical differences occurring to the head/face resulting from meth usage. They must also use the picture of a real-life person, and then modify it in an image editor (such as Paint or Photoshop) to recreate the effects that they have described. Once the representative from the NGO has deemed their work satisfactory, they may receive their next clue. YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN CONTENT. NO COPYING. Post: *run to NGO and start preparing pamphlet* In Drug Brain, teams will proceed to a clandestine meth lab nearby to separate chemical compounds.

Post: *run to secret meth lab nearby and start separation of compounds* Post: *team chooses (Detour name)* If teams want to they may choose to hire a drug runner for 23000 COP the rest of the leg. Drug runners have a street-smart expertise of the Cali area and will help teams get to each destination 1 update faster. However, they may also have antagonised the wrong people before and run a 1-in-15 chance of being randomly killed anytime during the leg (including transportation).

Teams are now on their way to Santiago de Cali, Colombia via helicopters. When they land, they must make their way to the exterior of the Extasis nightclub, located in one of Cali's seedier neighbourhoods, where they'll find a drug dealer who'll hand them their next clue. Post: *run to helipad and wait to get on helicopter* Teams will now travel to the city of Santiago de Cali, Colombia, or Cali for short. Cali is the 3rd largest city in Colombia and is also the capital of Norte del Valle province, home base to the infamous cartel of the same name and among the largest centres of coca plant cultivation in the country. To do so, they will travel to a nearby private helipad; they can choose to travel via canoe or speedboat. Once teams reach the helipad, they must scramble to get on board the waiting helicopters; seats are allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis, and the helicopters are scheduled to depart 1 update apart each other. Helicopters will, in any case, take off in 3 updates after being occupied (though the difference in departure times still hold). Colombia's official currency is the Colombian peso. Post: *speedboat to helipad* (10 USD / 1U) *canoe to helipad* (3 USD / 2U) Route Info: Teams will now have to make their way to a particular city in a particular country. They must solve the clue below.

I have to go for lunch now, so...
IT IS NOW A RACE TO THE DEATH. You may post for 3 updates per post. Do not PM me anything, post it all here. The last team to complete the leg (or the 2 that are the furthest behind by 6:30pm CST tomorrow). If there is a tie, RANDOM.ORG DECIDES. YOU MAY BEG BUT ONLY IF YOU RUN OUT OF MONEY, AND THERE IS A CAP OF 3 BEGS FOR THIS LEG.

Racers and viewers:
- What were your thoughts on this leg overall? I'm glad it's shorter than the first one. - High points? I like the detours. I was initially gonna do the Chemical Name one, but when I couldn't find the bit for methamphetamine (there were two many Os) I gave up on that one and moved to the other one. Of course I didn't physically change because I was doing the tasks before I actually got there, but yeah... The roadblock was fun. I'm happy that I got done with that real quick and that I knew the celebrities available on my turn. BTW, did you really have Julia Roberts, the one you took down, or was that someone else? - Lowpoints? I was just REALLY frustrated with the helicopter. I had to post *wait for the helicopter* twice... then I get updated that I was on the AIR, and then the next update I'm back down again. What was up with that? |

- What were your thoughts on this leg overall? Fun. <3 The detour reminds me of AT5's wanted poster task. Actually I was going to choose another detour, but I couldn't find a damn thing about compound structure, so I changed my mind. And I was right. - High points? Top 3 finish, baby! I was generally happier than last leg, when I felt so defeated and weak and pissed. - Lowpoints? The chemical detour. That's impossible, kthanks! |

I'm also happy in the fact that I was about 25 minutes late but I still got 5th. After leg 1, I think I was in the top some-number of teams when it comes
to finances... now I'm in the middle, so I gotta spend wisely for the next one.
Gesell, I dunno what pino would say when you've spent quite a lot of his team's money but you only placed 12th. Anyways, it's your first time doing this so I quite understand that. But at W&C, you should definitely spend wisely! |
