How to Play

(NOTE - different than VSRR I & II)

 

COF – 3rd Annual Virtual Summer Road Rally (VSRR III)

 

Hi Racers! Every year the challenge becomes more difficult to live up to the ability of this group – seems like every plan I have ever had to present challenging questions is mastered by a few, shared with others and it gets harder for Hollidan to stay at least a half step ahead of the racers. On several occasions the judges were clearly run over!

 

Remember this is not a typical game – it requires talented, ingenious players, creative individuals to see beyond the obvious and find ways to solve problems that on occasion are right in front of you – unless they are behind you – in which case they might just sneak up on you. Like anything worthy of this group it will evolve and take on its own personality – both VSRR races so far have been different and I suspect VSRR III will be the exactly same – different – half the fun is not knowing what will happen exactly.

 

Since Team Play was interpreted to be permissible – the challenge comes in making – team play more – well challenging – but at the same time Hollidan understands that is the only way some racers can participate. Hollidan encourages the interaction between racers and it’s our hope that we have blended a mechanism that encourages co-operation, taking turns doing the laundry, and makes teams a “fluid” part of the race with the ultimate reward of winning going to one individual - perhaps a member of a team – perhaps not. It is possible to win without joining any team. With all that said – Hollidan hopes you will find this year’s endeavor challenging yet fun! As always – I can’t give you all the details quite yet – the judges haven’t finished making them up – but what you’ll find below is where we’ll begin.

 

THE FIRST PRIMARY PRIME DIRECTIVE

FUN – FUN – FUN – Laughing Out Loud – making fun of Dale, Mike, Bubba, Frank, Barney, Dave, Larry and Duane -- but not falling out of your chair when doing so!
