Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

It was impossible to get enough points for a netbook and camera on one entry. Netbook was 1600 and camera was what?1300. That's around 2900 or so. No way.
I know. ya I thought the camera was 1300 the same as the tent.

but 1600 for netbook and I think 1300 for camera 150 i think for jerky and at least 5 for bonus comes to 3055 points there is no way he could have had that man points even if the 2 he missed were 25 pointers. There wasn't that many points to be had.
I don't think he has 3000+ points from one account, but he may have multiple family members playing, like several people here do.

For anyone in the Ford Focus Rally:
Team Grey posted a lot of information about how the rally is going to work in the near future. These guys are really on top of things. Today is the last day to switch teams without losing your points. It seems like this team will end up the winners since they are doing so much to keep everyone informed, so I just made the switch. GO TEAM GREY!!!

New Hot News for All you Grey Team lovers!

1. FOCUS RALLY POINTS/GARAGE CREDITS: The focusrally.com site will be updated once the competition officially starts with sections that will give you the opportunity to help us out. This will include a *GARAGE* where you can 'buy' items with the points you accumulate from doing the DAILY TRIVIA and even just logging in. Depending on what LEVEL you are on the site, you will get "x" number of points that you can spend EVERY DAY. It is a use it or lose it type of thing so please log in EVERYDAY and use them!
This will give you the chance to either add GARAGE CREDITS; helping our team or slowing down others with ridiculous items.

Focus Rally Points: Each point is an raffle entry to win prizes/car/trips throughout the competition. Raising your point level RAISES your "LEVEL." Get more points by recruiting more friends to follow team GREY.
Level = Your level allows you to receive garage credits everyday
Garage Credits: Log in everyday to focusrally.com and as a community contribute to purchase items to help us or hinder other teams.

Ridiculous Garage items (GARAGE Sale): Prioritized on High to Low.
1. Magical Air Freshener: HIGH Priority. Our team skips a challenge and moves on…….. NICE, real NICE!
2. CAR in a BOOT (slowing down a team for 30 mins): HIGH Priority
3. Survival Packages: HIGH priority. Supplies with flashlights, food, rope, goodies, etc.
4. Upgrades: Medium-Low Priority. Give us each a room upgrade, better meals, pedicures, etc.
5. Silly Costumes: Low Priority. Forcing another driver to wear a ridiculous costume ALL DAY in their car.
6. Jonny Moseley Bobble head doll: Low Priority. Please don't give points to this.

You get the idea. There are things that will help us or sabotage another team. Also on the site will be a live feed/chat area on our page where we will be able to communicate with you, which will come in handy for some of these challenges.

2. JUMPSTART COMPETITIONS -- HUGE/VERY IMPORTANT. These challenges will run each night prior to the start of each stage for us from 7pm-11pm EST. You can DICTATE when WE start each stages of the race. With your help we start first. Without your help, we start last. The team with the LARGEST PERCENTAGE of overall followers that answer the challenge ACCURATELY will have a significant advantage when we start the challenge the next. You will be notified either via our twitter/facebook announcements and potentially via the SMS/email alerts that you signed up for.

3. CHECKPOINT CHALLENGES --ALSO, VERY IMPORTANT. This is a LIVE FEED challenge that we have to participate in before we end the 'race' for the day. WE NEED YOU TO SIGN UP FOR EMAIL/SMS TEXT UPDATES. You will be notified by Focus Rally when we NEED your help. You will be sent to the website and complete a PUZZLE then you can LIVE chat with us and the camera in our car to help complete the next PUZZLE. WE ONLY HAVE 30 MINS. The quicker we are able to complete, these, the faster our race time will be ultimately helping us win in the end. If you were worried about signing up for SMS, please reconsider because we can promise you that Ford will not be spamming you. These alerts are solely for the purpose of helping us throughout these challenges.

We win if we have the most points after the whole race. We get points from CHALLENGES and ranking within RACE STAGES (the driving race in between the challenges).

Please help spread this word to others that I may not have included on this email to ensure that everyone knows how important logging in and helping us with our challenge is. We will also post updates to our facebook team page so that you can send people there to see this explanation too!

We will continue to update you with information as we receive it!

http://www.facebook.com/focusrallyteamgrey

seems like a foolish thing to do switch to the team with the least amount of members just because someone on the ford site asked for people to follow them to that team. My opinion bad move on your part but being sheep sometimes gets you into trouble
If I were you I'd switch back to where you were

That guy over in the snus forum just said he "thinks" he only missed to questions total and he is a team of one and can't remember how many points he got. I think it is BS because he would have needed to have well over 2000 points to the get the netbook, camera, jerky and bonus prize. Anyone remember how many points the camera and beef jerky were?
He would have had to of had 1600 for netbook, 1400 for camera, 150 for jerky. That is 3150 right there! I didn't think that many points were available. Am I wrong? Pls advise...
