Good luck to all those running tonight. Remember the prizes too
1. 3 million inf from MoX
2. A Hamidon Enhancement, donated by a MoX member, a Hamidon Enhancement can be used by any origin and give a 33% boost in two different categories (for example, it might do both damage and accuracy). Although only useable by high levels, they have been known to be traded for LARGE sums of influence. So slot it or sell it!

Err...?
That means you're no longer eligible to enter then if i've read the rules correctly as it's for level 5's only?
Unfortunately for you, Kinslayer is quite correct. This race is for level 5 toons ONLY. Level 4 is not enough...level 6 is too much.
EDIT: just re-read your post a few times just to make sure...I get what you mean now!!! LOL. As long as you do not level up I will allow you to race BUT you will have a 5 second starting penalty to compensate for your higher combat level.
so am i too late? i wanted to get THE DUNG BEETLE in on the racing fun.
My character will be Rumball Gunner 5. You may notice him by his awesome costume

FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT HAVE READ THEM, THE RULES ARE HERE
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.
__________________________________________________ ______________________________
A few final clarifications...
You can use any of your own powers such as armours or self-buffs prividing that they do not give you an unfair advantage over other runners. Basically anything with a +speed component (except for sprint/run etc) or a massive defense boost like PFF.
Inspirations are also useable at will and powers can be slotted as you see fit (I foresee a lot of 5 slotted runs!!!).
Nursies will be on hand to pick you up but there is nothing stoppping you from picking yourself up.
If you get spammed with a power STOP as soon as it is safe for you to do so and advise your team marshall. If you don't stop it will be construed as cheating and you WILL be kicked.
We have 24 runners now so the race will be run in 3 heats with 4 players in two teams per heat followed by a heat winner race for the prize.
BE IN THE HOLLOWS AT ABOUT 7.30-7.45 SO I CAN GET EVERYONE SORTED.
May the most skillful runner win.
