Seeing all these responses to the party idea, I find myself asking the
inevitable question: why not do a whole slew of parties? We're all on
different servers so we can do a monthly gnomefest. Say the first of each
month (since we're all so short) or if people find it easier to accomodate
weekend schedules, the first Saturday of the month. Pick a different server
every month. Maybe do some dueling competitions, some drunken casting, some
minor illusion art etc. Perhaps see just how many level 1 chars it does
take to kill the mino hero (I'll bet on about 612, provided at least 20 are
on him at a time)...

Just a thought. Preferably something that doesn't require a lot of
preparations besides buying an insane amout of alcohol and a little advance
warning to the GMs to let them know to expect heavy zone loads.

What would we call it? Gnomapalooza? Gnomestock? Gnomes are not Eunuchs
(that's one for you Gr0k)?
