Planar Shift -> Win

Guess you have an idea for that to be on the list?

I can't really follow what the containers have to do with it. The required number of items to consume appears to be small. Being a mule race sounds like one might be required to carry a lot, but it looks like 8 small items at most.

I also don't really follow the "No stunning ales." If one is racing, it's unclear to me what advantage could be gained by stunning yourself on purpose.

How about Water Walking or Ice Patch. This can shave a bit off time from the Viper Shroud for example.

Not sure I'd be able to make it since it means Saturday morning at 9am (and I work until midnight on Friday), but anyway I suppose the above might be useful clarifications, or at least an interesting discussion :)

I liked the concept of the race, and the overall idea. I did not sign up because I didn't want to undress to container-less items. Post cap the run would not have been at all a big deal empty handed and armor-less, and as a rogue the use of spell assistance (haste-teleport-rifting ect) wasn't an issue either. It really was the fact that I would have to change clothes and store everything that turned me off on it.

I hope you have a better turnout next time!

Don't be discouraged. Player-run activities can be tough regardless of the nature event. I would suggest trying to team up with a CHE/MHO and making an event out of the idea which would qualify them for influence points towards their organization.

Also, the giant pile of stuff people have going on in RL this time of year makes it difficult. Thanks for trying.
