The Forgiven Gnome Roam - Social Event, Part the First

Our first event will be held on 25 August, at 7:00pm Server Time.

We will be taking a tour of the outlands. As gnomes. As gnome mages. As level one (1) gnome mages. What!? Are you nuts? Well, yes, I am, but that's beside the point. But don't worry, every level one gnome will have an escort to keep them safe from the big bad monsters of the Outlands. The gnomes will race from Shattrath to an undisclosed location within Outlands. First gnome there, wins. Second gnome there, wins. Third gnome there- well, you get the idea. This is supposed to be a fun social event, not a competative race with uber prizes at the end. Anyone who actually completes the run will have bragging rights. Sheri will be making a video and we encourage lots of screenshots from participants. We also encourge everyone to log into Teamspeak so we can laugh at you- I mean, each other.

Although this is a "fun run," certain rules will apply. The official observers won't be able to ensure everyone follows the rules, so we will be relying on your Christian integrity.

For ease of typing, "gnome" refers to the level one toon participating in the event. The "team" refers to the gnome and its escort.

Rules:

1. The gnome will be a mage.

2. The gnome must run the entire length of the course. No warlock summoning, etc.

3. No rezzing at the graveyard. However, classes that can rez may rez their gnome where it died.

4. No buffing the gnome. Examples include, but not limited to: Hunter speed, healer bubbles, Mark of the Wild, Fortification, etc. EXECEPTION: The passive buffs from Warlock pets are allowed, but ONLY the passive buffs that are active when the pet is out (Blood Pact, etc).

5. Officials (Shuranda and I) will randomly partner a gnome and escort.

6. Gnomes must sign on thirty (30) minutes prior to the event so I can port them to Shatt.



So if you have any masochistic tendancies, I encourage you to come join the...uh, fun. Please copy/paste the following questions and answer them here in this thread.

1. Do you have a level 68+ toon that can escort a gnome?

2. Do you have room on your account to make a gnome? (Limit of 10, I believe)

3. Would you rather be a gnome or escort? (NOTE: No guarantees youu'll get it)

3. Would you rather be a gnome or escort? (NOTE: No guarantees youu'll get it) Hmmm....probably a gnome because I would really suck as an escort..but hey..no losers right?

**NOTE: this is all "if I'm around". I will try my best since this sounds like a BLAST! But since I'm leaving for a big camping trip with a bunch of friends the next day, I may be spending Saturday packing and such.

Just a quick update for everyone.

Saturday evening, everyone please sign on your main toon and /w Shebaely or Samage for a raid invite. We want to be set up and ready to start at 7pm server time. We will start raid invites at 6:30 to start setting up so please try to sign on early. We understand if you cant, just let one of us know so that we know to be expecting you. After the raid is formed, we will then be assigning the gnomes. You will then be expected to QUICKLY (hair color, style, etc. doesnt matter) to sign off and make a gnome mage. Then /w one of us again for another raid invite and to be matched up with your escort.

I look forward to seeing y'all on Saturday. I think this is going to be a blast. So far, there is only 13 people signed up. Come on, I know we have many more than this. Come join the fun!!!

Unfortunately, I am going to have to back out of this event. It sounds like a complete blast, but my parents have planned a last minute visit to see their granddaughter tomorrow evening and I won't be able to sneak away to participate.

I hope everyone has a great time and no gnomes are injured in the running of this event. :) I am looking forward to being able to participate in future social 'outings'

Thanks Shuranda and Kirk
 
I have been silent because I wasn't sure if I could attend. Turns out I can't attend either we will have my 2nd son's birthday party tomorrow.
