Events are at 8PM Nessingwary server time, which is Central time. I don't think it's actually posted in here, it's just kind of implied.

Yes, the reward will be given out on Nesingwary.

8PM Server time, as Mr. Perfect said.

On a side note, we now have a guild made up for the event. The guild is named <Has A Jar Of Dirt>. We have enough tabards and enough gold to buy more tabards if needed at this time, based on my current estimates.

Has A Jar Of Dirt? Has A Jar Of Dirt?! I must change my gnomes name to...

PirateJack!

I guess I'll be nice and let someone else do the Running of the Gnomes to claim the prize. I'll get my DK out of their starting area, and punt -- er, babysit the gnomes. Yeah, that's right. Babysit. No punting involved ... for now.

My DK's name is Hecatae, btw. I kind of got lost from the group last week.

I just know that Rohm (my bf) is going to LOVE the name of the guild! He actually has a Jar of Dirt in RL (actually it's a jar of beach sand that I brought back for him from my trip to Florida, but he still loves it)

Update. I'm sorry, but I can't make the guild event tonight. I've been busy trying to sort stuff out at school (had to drop one class, need to apply for another so I can graduate on time), so I've had like no time to level my DK out of the starting area. I've barely had time for the Headless Horseman dailies. You know how it is, RL has to come first.

Anyway, everyone have fun! Congrats in advance to whoever wins the pot!

I .. am... so.. in gnomes!! evil run away gnomes!

DAMMIT! I completely forgot!!!!

Some screenies from the event:

Grats to whoever won! I'm sad I couldn't make it, cause it looked like fun! =)

Yep, good fun. No hearthing next time though!

Yes, yes next time I'll think of that...

It was very fun. I plan to have another event in a few weeks that will be similar, but with tweaks to make it a better experience for all.

Some screenshots I took below.

Also, if all the gnomes can post who was on their team and what place you were in, that would be great.

I don't even think I knew who any of the gnomes were, lol.

D'oh.

I was all set to be like AWRIGHT GUILD EVENT GREAT WAY TO GET BACK INTO WOW aaaaand it was yesterday.

Oh well. XP Hopefully I can jump in on the next one you're planning.

Looks like loads of fun though! Glad you guys enjoyed it

It was a blast except for the thing with using the Hearthstone. Maybe in future events the ability to use a Hearthstone to get back to an area should be defined in the rules to not cause any confusion? Or then again just saying "get to the other point any way possible except using a Spirit Healer" could cover everything.

I grabbed some screen prints from our 10-29-10 US-Duskwood! Gnome race event.

This event was really fun.
I was on the 2nd place team. I was the first runner on my team.

The attached five pictures contain;
Pre-sorting and rules
Pre-race tea party
#1 runners enroute from Stromwind past the logging camp to see the end of the race.
qty(2) Finish line party shots

I was Tinevin, because I'm lazy and let the randomizer pick names for me.

I was on a team with Shinri and Fredgeek. I ran the last leg for the third place team.

I had a good time and would definitely participate in similar future events. I think I actually made up some ground and narrowly missed catching up at the end, but was one shotted by some stupid dragonkin at the base of the ramp and got back to my corpse just in time to hear the second place team had finished.

It was a lot of fun though. Everybody should definitely take part in the future. Srsly, all y'all need to get in on this.

darn! I got called away to a family event...well family-in-law...I'd rather have run as a gnome...
