So it's Over!
Big thank you to EVERYONE for turning up, participating in our silly events, and making it a fantastic evening!
And especially massive thanks to all the ancient ones who hopped back into the game after up to 6 years away from WoW! I bet that felt strange.. But it was awesome seeing everyone together. And it gave us the chance to get some TRC Founder celebrity selfies too. ;D
And speaking of Councillors.. Congratulations to Twiki on becoming our newest one! Go poke him whenever you need an alt invited to the guild! ;D
Here's a summary of Tuesday's events and results, for the unfortunate Ravens who couldn't attend!
Gnome Race:
At 20:00, TRC invaded the server of Khadgar with an army of 48 gnomes escaped straight from the Gnomeregan decontamination zone! Once free, these plucky little gnomes made a frenzied dash for salvation, apparently found in Arathi Highlands! I won't give too many spoilers, cos you can watch the whole race right here!

But I will warn, it was a bit of a massacre..!
Scavenger Hunt:
The Ancient Councillor's puzzling quests gave a healthy dose of nostalgia to our older players, and a good excuse to go check out some old zones for our newer guys! It turned out to be pretty challenging, and good fun too!
So Liára, Kramt, Versaya, Necati, Xanzara & Fahranya are hereby to be known as the smarty-pants of the guild, the only ones to get all six clues correct! o/
Auction:
The auction was more exciting than even I anticipated! And that's saying something, cos the other officers can confirm that I anticipated a WWE-style showdown, with gnomes hitting other gnomes with foldable chairs, and angry ex-fiancés turning up!
Pretty much everyone was floored when the final bid of a whopping 1.6 MILLION GOLD was slammed on the table!
And the great thing is, everyone's a winner! Jimmble got an Orc, the other bidders got to not lose a ridiculous amount of money, the guild bank got rich, and the rest of us got a jolly good show! We should auction off Alikh's possessions more often, I say.
The poor gnome, though.. His life of luxury is ended!
Black Feather Tournament:
And finally, what guild event would be complete without the traditional Raven Council Test of Strength?
The Circle of Life gave us the perfect (albeit lovely) arena for the duels. And to level the playing field of course, all contestants were forced to strip down to their undies.
The duels were lightning quick compared to our MoP tourney (WoD health-pools ftw!), so we got plenty of surprise outcomes and epic moments! A few of my favourites..
- Ancient Councilor Celsan (lvl 72!) standing up against the slightly less Ancient Anasazi!
- Pingu finally getting to take all his frustrations out on poor Jimmble!
- Xanzara one-shotting Twiki! O_O
- Ethos turning Razzil into a defenceless sheep surrounded by a pack of his own wolves!
- The tank showdown, with Tufib claiming the victory tank pants!
In the end however, the true champions emerged.. Tommel, Razzil, and the undefeated OP Disc, Pylori!
Below are some of my Top Screenies from all the events, taken by various folks, but you can see hundreds more (and upload your own) here!

Here's to more great years with The Raven Council! o/
