Title: The Hazard
Post by: Platrium on October 30, 2013, 04:45:57 AM
I just wondered why the hazard disappeared. ??? Is it because it was boring or useless or unmemorable?

I actually would love to see it come back. Perhaps the last team to arrive at a TBC gets a Hazard, or being used in a way where another team can forced the other team member to complete the Roadblock as well? I know some of you don't like how a team can decide the fate of another in a race... but honestly, it's good drama and the race isn't all fair anyway.

And I'll use the Hazard on myself if my team member gets to skydive and I only get to watch... :funny:

The problem with the Hazard is that it is literally the exact same as a Speed Bump. Besides a difference in when it was applied, there was nothing to distinguish it from the existing Speed Bump.

I'd much rather see the American version adopt the Handicap.

i agree with the Handicap.. but I belive the Hazard is more like an extra roadblock (only 1 person did it haha)

But the Handicap sounds so... lame. I mean, can we have a better name for it? :(

They tried. Handicap was the first name they had in mind for what ya call it Speed Bump.

What if the hazard was brought back with as U-Turn/Yield type think. Example: Team A gives the hazard to Team B so Team B must to do an extra "Hazard" task
