...and the winner IS....
Thank you very much Sweetheart! - Most kind of You!.
I would like to congratulate everyone of you brave little souls that ran the MoX Gumball Rally last night, you certainly gave me a good run for my money!.
I wish i could of seen Calcifiers Valiant effort regarding the Gultch!- It sounds truely inspiring! - Very Well Done Dear! /em,clap.
My heart was going like a runaway locomotive at the startline!, i could practically hear it thumping away in my chest! ,it was absolutely terrifying and thrilling throughout the duration of the race!.
I can't wait to see the video Mox has captured of the race, I have got to say....I didn't think i would win!- especially when Mummy tried to shave a few seconds off her time by jumping a cliffside fissure on the edge of the Gultch! - i was aiming to land and run along a girder that was sticking out of the fissure on the other side and utterly...hopelessly misjudged it!, and as Khorrighan said, plummetted to my Dooom headlong into the Gultch!.
My heart sank looking up to see Megababe running along the top of the cliff high above me!, i thought i was almost certainly last at that point!, a thought which felt true when rounding Karsis i looked into the distance and saw what i thought was practically the entire team at Julius the troll on the bridge about half-a-mile in the distance!.
Thanks once again Khorrighan and to all those at Mox for organising,running and monitoring such a delightfully fun run of death!, thank you Uncle Bridger for your support!, and once again.....to all the brave young-ones that ran the gauntlet last night at the first Mox Gumball Rally.
My sincere commiserations for all those including Amazing Shynet who were absent through no fault of their own, i have had messages from many many Heroes asking if i was affected by the server problems last night,and my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you all.
I look forward to a full entry of heroes at the startline next-time where i expect you to give Mummy a jolly good thrashing!.
I look forward to defending my Crown next time, and will raise Mox on the purse i offered this time around for the sequel:
Mox Gumball Rally II: The Race to Pi
Take care for now littleones!
Mothers Love

A hearty congratulations again on your win, and thanks to MOX for organising a fun event - i had a great time running the gumball, and i too could hear my heart pounding in my chest and feel my hands sweating waiting for the off.
See you all at the next event
Megababe XX
Well done Mother's Love
I couldn't get in either, which sucked a little, but glad to hear you all still had fun.
Congratulations Mother's Love!
It must've been my "Good Luck" to you before i got server-whipped that did it
I'll getchya next time.
Genuinely awesome fun.
Can't wait to see the vids - being involved in the race gives you such a limited perspective on what everyone else is up to.
Flange,
This was a great event, I can't wait for the next event!!!!
BTW my Movie is nearly complete and will be put on the forum soon.

Deserved congratulations go to Mothers Love who won quite convincingly despite plummeting to almost certain doooooom in the gulch.
This does however leave her in the position of having to give herself 2million Inf in prize money!!!
Attendance was severely hit buy the badly timed server problem but we still went ahead after waiting as long as we could for any more who could make it.
Theres gonna be a movie made of the race and the cameramen tell me they have some good footage and screenies of the race so I won't bother with lengthy commentary
The runners and the order in which they finished are listed below. Kudos to Calcifer who went down into the Gulch and had a hell of a time getting back out...he didn't give up though...he might have finished last but it was a determined gritty last that got him a little bonus prize.
1) Mothers love
2) Clockwork golem
3) MegaBabe
4) Roadrunner
5) Brown Streak
6) Dazzling occurence
7) Superspeedy dragon
8) Defiant streak
9) Dodga'
10) Gumball Gulchrunner
11) Calcifer
Hopefully everyone who took part had fun and enjoyed it? I certainly had fun organising it...which sounds strange to me even as I type it!!!
Finally, a BIG BIG thanks to those who took part, to those who helped me Marshall the race, to Bridger for all of his help and to those who helped me to test the concept. I absolutely could not have done this without you....and a big fat I'm Sorry to those who couldn't get online cos of the server problems.
COMING SOON....THE SECOND MOX GUMBALL RALLY: THE RACE TO PI.
