Good evening,
Redux will be havening a guild event this next weekend, Saturday at 1PM CST.
(copied from our boards)
This Saturday, November 22nd at 1pm CST there will be a gnome race across Antonica. I know, its happened before. Here is the twist though.
This will be a team based, relay event.
Each team will consist of 3 members.
The race will begin with a lvl 1 gnome in steamfont for each team. This member will be given a baton (item) to carry with them. They will run from Steamfont to the Ocean of Tears dock.
Here, the second team member (lvl 1 human) will be waiting and must pass the baton to them. Team members must move quickly though to pass the baton off before the boat leaves, or that team will be at a severe disadvantage. The second team member will race to the North Karana Gypsy camp where the third team member lvl 1 - any race) will be waiting. Again, the baton must be passed to that third team member.
The third team member will carry the baton from North Karana to the Tox forest bridge where the race will end once the item (baton) is handed over to the race official.
The winning team will receive 500 plat for each team member (money will be distributed to the main character of the lvl 1). The second place team will each receive 100pp. The third place team will receive, well, nothing, so be one of the first two teams to cross...
As an added twist, I will be stationed along the journey in a conspicuous location. I will respond when hailed with a /say containing a question in regards to Norrath lore. If answered correctly the first time, the racer will receive a spirit of wolf. This can be a game changer if a team is behind in the race, so brush up on your lore!
Rules:
NO PORTING of any kind.. this includes gate.
Team members will all gather in Steamfont prior to the race and will group up together. Porters will be on hand to bring members to their appropriate zone prior to the race starting.
Each team must have a Redux member in it. The other two members can be from any guild or unguilded. If you are not a redux member and wish to participate please talk to a Redux member in game or post below for a hopeful pickup. Disclaimer: we are a small guild at the moment, so unfortunately we cannot accept all racers. Who is in the race is at the sole discretion of the Redux member making the team.
No team may have a pacer. Essentially, no team can have someone running next to them or meeting them along the way to receive buffs (SoW, etc...).
Racers are prohibited from receiving buffs of any kind along the way except from the lore question. While this admittedly will be difficult to enforce, please play by the spirit of the event and refrain from obtaining them...
Conclusion
If you are wanting to participate, please post below with your team (main characters) and alt names. We will be taking registrants up to the last 30 minutes before the race however it would help with the paperwork aspect of things if we knew information beforehand in regards to team composition.
Rules are subject to change.
If there are any questions, please post below or ask me in game for clarification. I am not a lawyer and I am sure things were left out above. Again though, please play to the spirit of the event, not the loopholes of the event.
