What you need to do as a Runner on The First Open MoX Gumball Rally

1. Sign up on out Forum : mox.eu.com/forum
2. Create a character and get it to level 5. No Kheldians, no Kinetics, no Forcefields, no Rads.
3. Turn up in the Hollows via Atlas at the arranged time and wait in the caged area around the Hollows Gate.
4. You will be invited to join a Supergroup and shortly after a team. Accept both.
5. Your marshall will take a look at your powers to make sure you have complied with the rules. They will also teleport you to make sure that you have the prompt turned off.
6. Wait for your starters orders.
7. Race. Have fun. It’s a game!

The Rules Summary.

1. Level 5 toons only.
2. No Kheldians.
3. No Speed buffs or Personal Forcefields
4. Stop and wait if you get spammed with a speed buff.
5. The spirit of the rules applies above the word of the rules.
6. This is a test of skill, not a test of how well you can cheat or exploit the rules.
7. The Judges decision is final.

The Rules in Detail

1. Contestants can enter with Level 5 characters only. Kheldians are not permitted. Siphon Speed or any other type of speed buff (Run excluded) are not permitted. Personal Forcefield is not permitted. All contestants must enter The Hollows via Atlas Park. The prompt before team teleport option must be disabled.
2. Contestants must join the Gumball Rally SG for at least the duration of the race. Leaving the SG constitutes withdrawing from the race.
3. During the race all contestants must be a member of a MoX led team. This is to allow us to keep track of player positions and to prevent the use of Recall friend. Leaving the team constitutes withdrawing from the race.
4. Each contestant, upon reaching a checkpoint must speak to the MoX Marshall at that checkpoint(see rule 8). The MoX Marshall will then Promote the contestant to the next rank in the Gumball SG. The contestant must not proceed until he has been promoted.
5. Anyone caught cheating in any way will be kicked from their team by the MoX Marshall. Cheating is construed as using ANY other power apart from inherent run and jump powers to gain an unfair advantage. Being the unwilling recipient of a speed buff by a non-competitor is excluded from this providing that the competitor halts immediately and advises his team leader. A time penalty will be exacted sufficient to counter any advantage that would have been gained via the buff.
6. Should a competitor be defeated by a nearby mob he has three options. He can either wait for the MoX Marshall/MoX Nursey to clear the area of mobs and dispense an awaken OR be teleported back to his last checkpoint and be awakened OR should the Marshall/Nursey responding have the ability to resurrect or revive you with full hits and endurance he/she will offer the choice, a 20 second penalty will be applied to compensate for the stunned period suffered when using awakens. Anyone going to hospital in Skyway will be kicked from their team.
7. Temporary powers gained from the Arena or any other source are not permitted. Any use of such powers will result in the offender being kicked from the team.
8. Communication with the Checkpoint Marshalls should be in the form of a tell executed by either a target based bind/macro or by right clicking on the marshall and selecting chat. Tells received by contestants that the Marshall is unable to see will be taken as cheating and rule 5 will be applied. The message need only be “Promote me!” or something similar.
9. The Spirit of the Rules will apply ABOVE the Word of the Rules. The Judges decisions are final.

Hopefully, it will...I'm sort of planning on making this a semi-regular occurence so to speak, something a bit different each time....

Quick question about inspirations? Are they allowed? One could count them as "temporary powers" under rule 7, while someone else might argue they aren't powers at all.

The ones that immediately pop into mind as useful are respites, lucks and breakfrees. (*mumbles something 'bout madness magi*)

Inspirations are allowed and there will also be marshalls on standby with awakens galore to help recovery from any oopsies that may occur....you know the sort...20 hurled boulders from +5 troll mobs and the like!!!

If anyone else would like rules clarification, please ask.

To give potential runners an idea of what the intention is here.... It's intended to be a test of skill and knowledge. How well can you judge aggro ranges? How well do you know the hollows? You can broadly speaking use any powers that do not include a +speed element (obviously you can use sprint!!) or do not have a massive defense boost (like Personal Forcefield). I'd much rather go by the spirit of the rules than the word whence the last rule. Cheating/exploiting is just annoying and will be stomped on from a great height with the use of the Kick button

Anyway, signups are looking good, the prize kitty just keeps on growing...

Well i'm probably the Lv50 Veteran that spends the most time in Hollows helping out the littleones.
I've got a pretty much photographic memory of the layout and population of Hollows. I couldn't possibly resist such a blatant challenge on my stomping grounds!
I'll enter as Mothers Love and raise MoX on the fund by another 2 Million!

[i] Bring it on !!!
*runs off to see if her 70's shorts still fit.
