The Great Gnome Roam of 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following through on a suggestion by Goodwone, I am announcing that we have the greatest fellowship event of the year to date! The object of this is a gnome footrace...a level one mage gnome roam to be exact! And the course will not be your everyday, average run from... say Iron Forge to Menethil Harbor... oh no! That would just be too blase! Let's try a run instead from say....Dalaran! And we could finish at Moa'ki Harbor! And in the process, let's introduce ourselves to the Queen atop Wyrmrest Temple, visit the Ruby Drangonshire, pass by the gates of Agmar's Hammer to wave hello to the neighbors, to greet the good elves at Star's Rest, then go have a fishfry or something like a gnome baiting at Moa'ki Harbor!

No, no, no! The poor little gnome will not have to run alone! That would just be too masochistic. Instead, each gnome may be accompanied by one level 80 character to ... well, you know... guide them safely along! The winner - if there is one - would be the first one to make it to Moa'ki Harbor! The prize is to be determined at this time, but I am certain the leadership will gladly open the guild bank so that appropriate prizes for such an amazing, stupendous effort would not go without appropriate reward!

Just to recap:
ROUTE
Dalaran to Wyrmrest Temple
Wyrmrest Temple to Star’s Rest via Ruby Dragonshire & Agmar’s Hammer
Star’s Rest to Moa’ki Harbor

Rules and Guidelines
1. Level one gnome mages as they come out of the box are the only entrants.
2. They are to be accompanied by only one level 80 per gnome mage runner.
3. No buffs on them – they won’t do much good anyhow!
4. This must be accomplished on foot without any rides, hearth stones used or flight paths.
5. No Rez's - gotta run back!
6. This is a race with predetermined checkpoints that must be passed.
7. One minute per item on the Loot List will be shaved off of ending time for your gnome.

LOOT LIST: to be announced the day of the roam.

Now all we need to discuss is time and date. I am recommending Saturday evening, May 15 at about 5 pm server time. Post if you would be available and the whether or not you wanna roam a gnome or escort a gnome roamer.

Oh yes, the guild leaders will pick an appropriate prize like a Primordial Saronite for top prize, I am sure with an nice, appropriate second and third place prize. But the rewards for such an amazing feat of skill and daring will be determined by our awesome and benevolent guild co-leaders!

One important, cannot-do-without helper, would be someone who has the skills and ability to record this gnoamagerie menagerie and post it some place where we could share our fun with our friends and family! Perhaps, it could even be put to appropriate music, edited with appropriate captions, etc. That, however, is beyond my simple skills to come up with such an artistic masterpiece! Volunteers? Please!

Also, we should have Reco and two other summon a giant raid of lvl one gnomes of all classes out to the Tauren starting zone to torturize all the low level cow-men
 
I would recommend having someone with a beefy system and some free time to take some video (FRAPS works very well to capture the video) so you can do something like this.
 
Man - I love that video. And as I said, this was done with great results by The Forgiven on the Terenas server. A great time was had by all. The only drawback is if someone who wants to participate that does not have the Lich King expansion... let me know!
 
I can portal if someone will portal Redmats for me sometime. I don't mind leaving him in Dalaran for a while.

Also, not sure if my question will be seen in the other thread - are we allowed to wear non-stat affecting clothing? Redmats wears a Haliscan Jacket and Pantaloons with a Battered Jungle Hat, Diamond Tipped Cane, and a white flowing beard.
 
I do not think that would violate the spirit of "a gnome as he comes out of the box" if you wanna bring your lvl one. Key is not to have any advantage. Hmm...I need to get a cane on mine. Due to the nature of the event, I will not be participating as either a roamer nor escort, but will be flying along, laughing, and hopefully at the finish line to declare winners. Somebody has to do it... :)

Can we maybe start this at 5:30 server?

And I already have Fraps so I can record the run.

If that is what it takes to get it recorded, 5:30 start. I am certain there will some dueling going on prior to the race and possibly other nonsensical frivolity - after all this is Redeemed...hehe Some of that needs to be recorded for posterity's sake!

Any problems with a 5:30 server time start? Let us know if so!
 
This deserves some serious bumpage... Let us know if you plan on being there and if you will escort or run. We will need an escort for each roamer!
