 Topic: A race around the cricket world - Winner announcedPosted: 26 April 2007 at 12:30pm |
|
This game is about the competitors starting at a particular cricket playing nation. At this country the competitors will have 3 missions to compete.
1) The question mission (A cricket question about the country) 2) The image mission 3) The fact finder mission After completing the 3 missions for that country, you can then successfully travel to the next country. The first one to travel to all the cricket nations is given the tittle "World Dominator". I will explain the game in more detail after we begin. Would anyone care to sign up for a "free" trip?

When you win the toss - bat.
If you are in doubt, think about it - then bat. If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague - then bat. |

I will warn everyone that to compete to the best of your abilities this game may require you to be an active user of Cricket World Forum, meaning that you should go on to the minimuim once a week. Although it doesn't really matter that much.
So far there are 7 competitors. You have 5 hours to go pack your bags! Bring anything you need. For anyone who would still like to join there's still time! |

As you arrive, the New Zealand cricket team, meet you at the airport. You will be staying in a, all expense paid 5 star hotel known as Stanford in Auckland. When you get to your rooms, you will recieve a complimentary wine in your own mini bar fridge, and for those who are too young to drink, free acess to entertainment consoles! While your there why not look around, try zorbing (rolling in a plastic ball down hills), the spas anything you wish.
But now to get serious. You must complete the three missions to move onto the next cricket playing country. Mission 1: The Question Mission, What is the lowest team score that New Zealand have imassed in test cricket? (Pm the answer) Mission 2: The Image Mission, while your sight seeing and taking pictures with your camera, why not take a picture of a cricket player. Your mission is to find a picture of Jacob Oram batting. Post it here, but you may PM me if you wish (If someone posts the picture here, no one else can submit the same picture). If the image you have is on your computer visit imageshack.us. Mission 3: The Fact Finder Mission, Collect 5 signatures of members that have under 50 posts. PM the answer to me, you must include this members name and what the signature says. Good Luck. New Zealand salutes you! Speical thanks to NZ FAST for his help on this information.

Now here's the twist: The earlier you depart from the country will work to your advantage. Also the flight from New Zealand to Australia takes 3 hours meaning this is the amount of time you have to wait before I can tell you what you have to do at the next country. Going on from what a said earlier, Clobber gets an advantage. Since he departed first and the 3 hours up he will recieve the next 3 mission (via pm) 21 minutes (The amount of time the next person departed) before scuudz gets it.
Clobber = 0 mins Scuudz = 21 mins from clobber Abubkar = 20 mins from scuudz Ramzi = 3 hours 29 mins from abubkar For thoose who are still on New Zealand, they will automatically be flown to Australia by the end of tonight and I will post your information on this thread. Everyone will get the same missions. Edited by MP12 - 27 April 2007 at 11:04pm |

Sure, I think you would make a fantastic competitor. You will have to start from Australia with the others that are still in New Zealand. You will be flown over from England, now and should arrive in Australia in a 1 hour and 30 mins, where you will start. Good Luck!

There have been a few rule changes that I would like to inform you about.
1) I will no longer be updated you on where everyone is in the world so you do not know where any one it and who is winning. 2) You will only have 24 hours to stay in a country (due to insufficent funds to cover your expenses). After the 24 hours have expired you will automatically be transported to the next country and will have to get the next 3 missions from this thread rather than by PM. If you submit the missions back before the 24 hours then the next missions will be submitted to you. If you are passed this country and are recieving PM's from me then you can ignore the information that I post. 3) The winner will no longer be the first person to go to all the cricket countries (Due to rule 2). The winner will be the person who travels to all the countries in the lowest amount of time. Not submitting your answers will put on 24 hours onto your name. Good luck to all of you, where ever you all may be! Edited by MP12 - 29 April 2007 at 2:03am |

Welcome to Sri Lanka! Jayawardne and his team have greeted you with a lunch banquet. As usual Malinga using the same amount of pace as when he is bowling rushes to the tables and gets first choice of food
 . The tempreture now is really humid, but will go below 10 degrees at night. You will be staying at the 5 star Ceylon Inter-Continental Hotel. While you are in Sri Lanka try the exotic foods, and visit Rama's (Adam's) Bridge and take a look around.
Now to the Missions: Mission 1: What ground saw Muralitharan his best figures of 9/51 against Zimbabwe in 2002. (PM) Mission 2: Find a picture of any Sri lankan diving/taking a catch (includes wicket keepers). (PM or post here) Mission 3: PART 1: Which member/s of cricket world forum has a birthday on the 16th of June 2007. (Use the calender tool, at the top of the screen) (PM) PART 2: How many people predicted Sri Lanka to win this year's world cup in the world cup prediction league. (http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3249&PN=5). Although other people may predict sri lanka to win after you have entered this, I will check the answer from when you reply with the answer. (PM) Good Luck! Sri Lanka salutes you! For those you you who are past Sri Lanka than you can ignore this. Warning: If you decide to post mission 2 here than it will give away your location (Which country you submitting missions to). However if you have past the Sri Lanka stage you may post your picture (The one that you would have sent to me), to fool your opponents into thinking that you are only up to Sri Lanka.
