[Mooyou]

Mooyou here!

I don't know if this is allowed, but applications for the third season of Mooyou's Amazing Race Series and the first ever Live Series of Mooyou's Amazing Race Game Franchises are accepting sign ups in this site: Rules and Tasks are also posted there, similar to other online Amazing Races.



Reality Games Online: http://mooyoutar.proboards.com/

The site is still a week old, but will progress as the Races start this August or September.

This will also be an unofficial home to TAR games all across the web world, which is sadly not given a "home" by other sites, (and is normally considered "OTHER REALITY RACES")

Previous and existing games are currently in Reality Fan Forum. The wiki site for the games is http://mooyoutar.wikia.com/

Thanks for reading and see you there!
