The Annual Clique Amazing Race (Season 3)
Comments (2) Every year, teams of 2 must beat and survive challenges the race throws at them for phat lewt. This year several new twists were added into the game…
- IMMUNITY IDOL – There would be only ONE team, that wins the only Idol in the game. That team will be “immune” ONCE, should they choose to play it, to counter any Arrows of GG, which other teams may play against them. And no, we didn’t let anyone know which team won it.
- THE ARROW OF GG - Fast Forward stage came with an extra reward for the folks this time. The first 3 teams to accomplish the task were given an Arrow of GG, which they may play ONCE in the game at any time, against any other team, bringing ONE team member out of action for 15 minutes. No team may be targeted more than ONCE by this item.
After a few hours of running around for clues, playing hide & seek, and blood-sport –
The winners of Season 3 are:
1st – Bushhealer & Paxman <Half Of Us Have Al’ar LOL>
2nd – Maxar & Lexandria <Chipmunks Never Tell XOXO>
3rd – Fieryshadow & Sayrien <ChinChaiLa>
- And the rest of the scoreboard -
4th – Ordona & Stroke <Stardust Boyz>
5th – Purificana & Buttsekz <Purify Our Butts>
6th – Screwy & Racsotoo <Latency Killed Our Bloodlust>
7th – Exitt & Fullcream <Biting Our Crotch>
Congratulations to all our winners, all participants for finishing the race, organisers for their time & effort, and everyone else who helped out (or interfered) in one way or another!
Many thanks from the organisers for making Clique’s Amazing Race Season 3 a smashing success and we hope everyone enjoyed it. Look out for more events like this in the future!
And here’s something from our beloved Swoe:
Read on for a recap of the race.
Stage 1 - “Rumble in the Jungle”
Location: Gurubashi Arena (Stranglethorn Vale)
Season 3 kicked off with one hell of a bloodbath this time round as NPCs, no doubt learning from their painful lesson last season, turned up in force. But as before, our resilent teams started to work together, and entered the arena in a gruesome fight to the death against some of Clique’s fiercest fighters. After 15 minutes of intense battle, Ordona & Stroke were declared the last man standing and received the immunity idol. Of course the other teams did not know about this.
On top of that, they were also given a 5 minute head start over the others.
Stage 2 - “Dawn of the Dead”
Location: Deathknell, Undead starting area
Teams created level 1 undeads and had to run to Thunderbluff for their next clue. As long as a member of the team survives, their task is accomplished. This was where the race really became one big messy rush as one of the NPCs let slip WRONG info on the task and destination. Hilariously the NPC only replied to ONE team but all the other teams somehow got that piece of misinformation and innocently followed the same instructions, I wonder how they knew…
I also heard Paxman tried a shortcut through the forest of doom!
Stage 3 - “Cheeky Chicky” *Optional Fast forward Stage*
Location: Silvermoon City
Teams had to hunt down a big fat chicken, who would be hidden somewhere in Silvermoon City for their next clue. Memorable incidents would include the following conversation with a contestant…
Contestant: “Hey Crystal, anything with wings right?”
Crystalised: “Huh I said ANY chicken in the game, u know what a chicken is right?”
Contestant: “Yah, anything with wings right?”
Crystalised: “…”
But of course the incident which takes the cake would be poor Paxman actually coming 6 inches away from where Crystal was hidden and then happily following a certain kind hearted NPC who promised to show him where Crystal was. Half the City away.
Stage 4 - “Dragonslayer”
Their next task would require them to kill any 10 dragons in the game, with proof (Recount) that they have done so. They then had to find Gorrfang in Orgrimmar. Travelling all around Azeroth, some hunted dragonkins, and some went for pure dragons in the Twisting Nether. After completing their task, the teams would have to find Trilliance for their next clue.
Stage 5 - “Achievements, anyone?”
Location: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. On top of the lighthouse in Venture Bay (which happened to be a very dangerous place to be with constant aerial bombardment by Swoe and gang).
The original idea was for teams to teams to DING any 2 achievements TOGETHER. We then realised that this was hard, especially for no-life achievement whores who had already completed most of their Pilgrim’s Bounty achievements.
Thus we decided to make their task a lil’ easier, and was modified to just get any 2 achievements. What can I say? People were really dedicated to the cause! Wove your new ring Bush?
Stage 6 - “Can Joo Feed Jena’s Hungry Orphans?”
Location: Where Jena always hangs out. The orphanage in Shattrath.
Teams had to hunt/fish enough food for Jena’s Orphans so they don’t die from hunger and he can continue to touch them.
Some contestants were overheard swearing when they couldn’t find the meat required on the Auction House. Sorry boys, Jena already anticipated that and bought everything out. LOL!
Stage 7 - “I’m Dying Of Thirst!!”
Location: Rigger Cove (Tanaris)
Creativity was brought to its height as contestants were asked to return 20 types of drinks to Koratus. Some started making different ranks of CONJURED Water… before realising it was not acceptable.
Stage 8 - “Are you Clique Enough?”
Location: Originally intended to be outside Icecrown Citadel, was changed to Ogrim’s Hammer due to phasing issues.
Teams had to answer a series of questions to test their knowledge and how much they have prepared for the up and coming Icecrown patch! Here were some of the questions that were asked:
- This Icecrown boss inhales poisonous fumes and exhales it all back causing massive raid wide damage.
- Festergut - This fight in icecrown requires raids to heal the boss while dealing with mobs that attempt to impede the raid.
- Valithria Dreamwalker - This encounter in icecrown requires 3 points of success and raid members will turn into bloodthirsty vampires!
- Queen Lana’thel - What do Buttsecks and Fullcream have in common?
RL name = Ben - Who has a reputation for being a pedo and enjoys touching orphans and guildies everywhere?
Jenagaine - Name any 2 RL couples in-guild.
Evirob and Binks, Moomentum (Orctimatum) and Caremoomoo, Jenagaine and Zoros, Lexandria and Lexandrew - By whom was the phrase “ITS NOT HARD, PEOPLE ARE JUST PLAYING SHIT. SERIOUSLY? WOW…” made famous by?
Deathic - By whom was the phrase “OMG! I WANT! I WANT! I WANT!” made famous by?
Derpies - When was Clique formed?
Dec 2006 - Which deluded warlock thinks he is the cutest lock on the realm?
Evirob
Stage 9 - “The next Mariah Carey”
Location: KTV Channel on Vent
The highlight of the Race! One person from each team had to sing “Nobody” by the Wondergirls for a minute. Several new Mariah Careys were discovered, as well as a new rapper! We heard a soulful version, a sexy dirty crooning version, a very gay version, a rap version and a terribad version lol. Big thanks to everyone who sang for being such good sports. I’m sure everyone had a good laugh. Impressive show guys!! Here’s a recording for you guys… guess which version it is? 
Finale – “WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!”
Location: In the Mountains! Thorim’s Throne area at the very top of Storm Peaks.
A photo-taking session organised for everyone after the event. Who can ever forget that heart shape we made right there and then over Swoe’s dead body? And the massive psychedelic Protodrake orgy on top of Thorim’s throne!
