CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Our racers have battled it out until only two are left: Swordguy and SManBeyond. This is the final race to decide who will win the whole caboodle and get the Amazing Race victory banner for their sig! (Crafted by Sam*ron.)

The format is this: I state a country. Someone posts the first fact, after which the other racer has 24 hours to respond to with another fact. Then the first guy has 12 hours. The hours cut in half until they are sheer minutes, then seconds...

The first to miss a deadline loses!

Interesting choice of a finale...I suppose I would have lost if I had advanced, since there's no way that I would stay up until 2 AM just for this .

I'm with you on that cbwing0. My only chance would have been to start the chain early in the morning.

Congratulations SmanBeyond.

WHAT??? I missed it! Blast!

Ah, well. Congrats to you SManBeyond! Very good showing. Super big kudos to you, Swordguy. I wondered if the dial up would come back to haunt you, but you said it was okay.

SmanBeyond, I'll PM you the sig pic that Sam*ron made.

I guess that's all she wrote, guys. Thanks to all who played!
