Here is what I posted in the other thread. I apologize there was controversy with the ending, we probably had a few too many people crowded into the room.
The first two racers made it to Cyndreela fine and got aggro and died. At that point one of the bards who was there protecting the raid from other pvpers (of which there were many in the swamp/feerrott) inadvertently got aggro. At this point Giblit ran into the room and was the first gnome to Cyndreela, then a swarm of gnomes ran in. Cyndreela got charmed or feared or something and went walking off. Rather then making the third winner an RNG fest we discussed it and ruled to give it to Giblit, who would've been killed had the bard not gotten aggro.
I personally gave away over 30k of my own currency and a lot of my time to organize this event and put it on. Obviously things weren't perfect, the zone crashes really caused some headaches and delays and in the future the race will have a clearer requirement for winning. The first time we did this race being killed by Cyndreela worked because we didnt have tons of people in the room spectating and interfering. This time the race ended up much bigger then expected.
If anyone would like to see video of the ending to the race to see how far ahead Giblit was, I can get it uploaded.
