ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION... /sigh

For personal reasons, Councilor Skyrunner and Senior Knight Shehairia have chosen to depart Blind Faith and go their own way.

I want to take this opportunity to commend and applaud Skyrunner and Shehairia for their performance in their duties as Nobles of the guild, their longevity and service to Blind Faith, and their friendship and loyalty during their stay.

They have performed with excellence and shown their true values and honor during our darkest times.  They deserve our utmost admiration, respect, and thanks.

Though they have felt the time has come to step down from their positions and enjoy just playing the game apart from Blind Faith, we remain friends and comrades even now and I hold all members of this guild to treat them as such.

We wish you well, Skyrunner and Shehairia, and may epics fall at your feet!

THE BLIND FAITH BIRTHDAY BASH GUILD EVENT
Due to only 2 guild members (Squire Gizmoz and Squire Zoeyoland) showing up to compete in the first guild event at 1pm server time, we decided there weren't enough present to make a decent guild event.  The first guild event was cancelled after waiting 15 minutes for others to arrive, and both Gizmoz and Zoeyoland were awarded a token 10g for showing up.

The second guild event at 8pm server time had a better turnout.  Knight Fluorine, Squire Gizmoz, Senior Squire Knee, Squire Luncan, Senior Squire Spod, and Squire Zoeyoland arrived to compete (Fluorine made it just in time).  Councilor Cathne, Senior Knight Gardeen (as Kapa), Knight Shehairia, Councilor Skyrunner, and High Councilor Striegyr coordinated the event.  The competitors were told to make new dwarf characters and wait with Cathne at the starting point in Coldridge Valley, Dun Morogh.  Fluorine chose a hunter named Hurff, Gizmoz chose a paladin named Runforestrun, Knee chose a priest named Borntolose, Luncan chose a priest named Goluncango, Spod chose a warrior named Spudss, and Zoeyoland chose a rogue named Zoeo.  The competitors had minimal information on what the event would consist of, just a general idea of a "gnome run" but little else.  Once all were rounded up and accounted for, the competitors were told the rules to the event.  Very simply, they could not log out and into another character or they would be disqualified, and they must travel under their own power...no portals, summons, or outside intervention allowed.  Only what they themselves were capable of.  The Deeprun Tram, ships, flight paths, even their hearthstones were allowed to be used.
The racers were then told to "check their mail" and the race was on.  Cathne and Skyrunner ran escort along with the racers.  In the racers' mailboxes were letters sent by Striegyr giving them their first task in the game.  The racers ran to Kharanos, Dun Morogh, and received their quest letters, stating:
    Loot a [Melted Candle] from a fallen foe,
    show it to Shehairia in a forest we all know,
    along with a copy of this letter too,
    she'll show you then the next quest to do.
The racers were instructed to save a copy of the letters in their bags, as they would be necessary in the race.  The racers headed to the Northshire Valley area of Elwynn Forest and killed various kobolds there that dropped the required candles.  They then had to search for Shehairia located somewhere within the zone.  After the racers spent quite a lot of time scouring nearly the entire expanse of Elwynn Forest, they finally found Shehairia located within Northshire Abbey in the human starting area.  Showing her their candles and letters, they received a new letter containing their next task in addition to 2s.  The letters read:
    Here's some cash, now off you fly,
    [Simple Wildflowers] you need to buy,
    Kapa's up in a tree where elves like to rest,
    show him the flowers and the letter and you'll get the next quest.
The money given to them was just enough to cover the cost of the flowers.  After all racers passed Shehairia, she joined the group as an additional escort.
The racers headed for the Fragrant Flowers shop in the canals of Stormwind City and purchased the required flowers from vendors there.  Then it was off to Teldrassil to seek out Kapa.  He was found in the night elf starting area of Aldrassil, Teldrassil, hiding in typical night elf druid fashion.  Once the racers showed him the flowers, they were told to "Seek out Melithar Staghelm here in Aldrassil and do what he asks of you, then return to me and show me your quest reward item."  Speaking with the person, located in the immediate vicinity, started them on the quest chain "The Woodland Protector".  The racers had to drop from the raid party, complete the quest chain, then rejoin the raid party and show their choice of quest reward items (either the [Canopy Leggings], [Tracking Boots], or [Viny Gloves]) to Kapa.  The racers were given their final letter and 10s.  The last letter read:
    Congratulations...but you're not yet done,
    now it's time for a nice long run,
    here's some spending money for you too,
    use it to help you make it through,
    seek out Striegyr across the sea,
    in the jungle, show him these letters three,
    even though you may finish the run,
    the Blind Faith Birthday Bash still isn't done!
The money given to them was available for the racers to use however they saw fit within the rules.  They could buy better armor and weapons, repair their equipment, use flight paths, train in class skills, buy items such as potions from vendors or the auction house...whatever they chose to use it for.  Figuring out that Striegyr was located somewhere within Stranglethorn Vale, all the racers used their hearthstones to return to Coldridge Valley, Dun Morogh, and began the final leg of the race.  Once all racers passed Kapa, he proceeded to the finish line to await the racers.  Skyrunner stayed behind in Aldrassil to help a fellow player in need.
With much difficulty, death and ressing, and some wrong guesses as to the location of the finish line (namely Booty Bay), the racers finally started to arrive at Gurubashi Arena, Stranglethorn Vale, where Striegyr was waiting.  Cathne and Shehairia began helping racers who were having an extremely difficult time navigating the harsh landscape and avoiding the hostile creatures in Duskwood and Stranglethorn Vale.
First to arrive at the finish line and show all 3 letters to Striegyr was Runforestrun (Gizmoz), winning first prize of 100g and a [Heart Candy].  Second to arrive was Spudss (Spod), winning second prize of 50g.  Due to there only being 6 competitors, only two "place" prizes were awarded, but all non-placing racers who finished successfully received 10g.  Hurff (Fluorine) arrived next, then Borntolose (Knee).  Zoeo (Zoeyoland) and Goluncango (Luncan) were summoned to the arena with the warlock skills of Nekradamos (Skyrunner), who arrived to help the racers finish.  The racers were told to remain at the finish line and not enter the arena pit, as the event was not quite over yet.  The race itself had taken almost 3 hours to complete.
It was announced only then that the final event was a single-elimination duelling tournament with their current characters (ranging levels 3 to 4).  The prize for the winner of duelling tournament was none other than the [Orb of Deception].  They were allowed to duel with whatever they possessed in whatever state they were in.  No one was allowed to leave to repair or buy any supplies with their accumulated money, as they had opportunity to use it on the way.  As there were only 6 competitors, 2 of the competitors would receive "byes" in the tournament, free matches in the quarter-finals.  The tournament bracket was randomly seeded and the duels were underway.  The tournament bracket and results are shown here:

In the process of the final match between Runforestrun (Gizmoz) and Goluncango (Luncan), which took a seemingly unprecedented amount of time, some difficulty occurred as the duel had moved into the arena pit.  In addition to other non-guild onlookers (who watched the neverending final match with much amusement and had been asked not to interfere), former guild member Mtkdarkomen had arrived during the match and, after watching for a time, suddenly struck out and killed Runforestrun, resulting in Goluncango winning the duel.  Due to the duel not being finished properly, the Nobles present discussed the events that had occurred and decided that, rather than just continuing with another duel that would last even longer, the two finalists would decide whether they wanted to duel it out or just have a best 2 out of 3 /roll for the prize.  They mutually decided to roll for the prize.  Luncan won both the first and second rolls, winning the orb.  Luncan chose to relinquish his prize to the guild bank, leaving it up to the Guild Council to decide how it should be dealt with.  The entire event, both race and tournament, took approximately 4 hours.
With the guild event finally over, some guild members logged out for much-needed sleep, some went off to quest elsewhere, and some stayed to duel and fight in and out of the arena pit.

As 2 guild events had been planned and only 1 had actually occurred, Cathne and Striegyr decided to schedule another guild event for the next day, Sunday, at 6pm server time.  All guild members are, again, welcome to compete.  To be fair to the guild members and make the prizes more available to everyone, if they compete, Luncan will not be able to win the duelling tournament prize and Gizmoz will not be able to win the race first place prize (though he would be able to win second or third place prizes if they are awarded).

UPDATE
Due to only 2 guild members (Knee and Luncan) showing up for the Sunday guild event, the event was cancelled and the 2 guild members awarded 10g each for showing up to compete.

Congratulations to our event winners and to all guild members who arrived, competed, and stuck it out in good sportsmanship!
