this.

These races are always fun. Watching gnome after gnome fall will be excellent. I'll probably monitor the progress by flying mount :D

I'm still not sure how one can make it to the tourney grounds by walking.

Shh.... don't ruin the best part!

Hehe

Actually I checked today, you can. I didn't think so either.

I didn't think you could get from the starting zones to there by walking either. I'm going to have to check this out.

So, I'm guessing you're banning portals then? Portal to Dalaran with a straight flight to the tournament grounds makes this race a doozy =\

Lol, yes, no portals :P

That was basically covered in the raid group requirement, since no high level mages will be in the raids, but i can make it more explicit! No setting your hearth earlier either!

Gnomish Death Squad does not like that you use our guild name in a frivolous foot race which rewards nothing. Due to this unforgivable infringement on our much beloved guild name, I shame thee, and will show you GNOMERCY!












ok, have fun at your race :)

So lvl 1 gnomes would fit perfectly in your guild, although they will likely be at least lvl 5 be the time they reach the finish.

Also, you can try pitching if you are getting sore from catching too much; it can spice things up a little. Really most people only care that you are putting the effort in so it doesn't matter how much you suck at it, in some cases sucking is better.
