I WILL NOT BE FOCUSING ON THIS THREAD. PLEASE GO TO THE POST ON THE LEVIATHAN SERVER FOR REPLIES. THIS IS JUST TO INFORM YOUR SERVER OF WHAT WE ARE DOING AND TO ACT AS A FORMAL INVITATION.

Tribe's FFXIV Chapter is hosting a copycat event of the Running of the Gnomes in support of Breast Cancer on the Leviathan Server. This will be the first (hopefully not the last) Running of the Lalafells in FFXIV. It will be held on October 19th at 8pm EST/7pm CST/5pm PST!

Tribe has been doing a Think Pink Event in support of Breast Cancer Awareness with some other FC's on the server. I felt that the server's participation was lacking and we could do so much more in regards to raising awareness and funds for the cause. In essence I felt that we could do more. That's when I considered doing a copycat event to the Running of the Gnomes. The more I thought about it the better it felt.

WE WANT YOU!

Donating to The Cause - The Touhy Vaccine
We ask that guild members and other participants to donate based upon the number of lalafells (or pink haired people in the Linkshell) who show up, in small change amounts. For example, people would pledge that for every lalafell (or pink haired people in the Linkshell) that attended they would donate a penny, nickle, or dime. Some people now donate a strict fund, but some people still donate this way, and it's fun to see just how many gnomes we have! A few hours after the run, I'll let you know how many people ran with us, and post it online. You don't have to donate if you participate, but you're free to donate if you'd like! Likewise you don't have to participate to donate!

We will be donating to the Cleveland Clinic, and the creators of the Touhy Vaccine that is working it's way to human clinical trials so they can get the vaccine out to the public. It has been proven to work on animals to remove breast cancer and it has made significant progress since last year. They are now working to gain FDA permission to start human clinical trails.

1 Penny = 1 Lalafell/Participant If 10 Lalafells/Participants Show up You donate $0.10
1 Nickel = 1 Lalafell/Participant If 10 Lalafells/Participants Show up You donate $0.50
1 Dime = 1 Lalafell/Participant If 10 Lalafells/Participants Show up You Donate $1.00
1 Quarter =1 Lalafell/Participant If 10 Lalafells/Participants Show up You Donate $2.50

This sounds AWESOME! How do I participate?


We realize that some people have the lowest level subscription to FFXIV which allows only one character/server to be created. If this is the case dye your armor pink, dye your hair pink and show up!

If creating a new character for this event and the server is locked for character creation (as it is a high pop server) then PLEASE create the characters late at night or early in the morning to avoid this server lock.

We will be doing much zone wide messaging for this event to make the server aware as well we have a linkshell that we will be inviting people to. If newly creating a character try shouting in the surrounding starter zones we will update with a list of people to contact or just shout out if anyone knows of anyone online that can invite to the Running of the Lalafells Linkshell. We don't have fancy tabards like WoW's Running of the Gnomes (because FFXIV doesn't offer it) but we do have the ability to dye clothing as a level 15 quest - here - . If you get to level 15 feel free to dye the armor pink


Our Running of the Lalafells will take us from the Old Gridania Ampitheater to Ul'Dah and will end at the Rubyroad Exchange. Once at the Rubyroad Exchange in Ul'Dah we will attempt to make a heart out of all the attendees for a screenshot.

See a map trip details below for more information! We will be stopping to bind at each Aetheryte to bind encase one or more of us die. After the screenshot is taken at the end we will do a body count and post the link again for the donation.



FAQS


Can I stay in the Linkshell/FC afterwards?

Yes! Although it's not going to be an active Linkshell. Tribe Gaming (www.TribeGaming.com) is the Free Company on Leviathan and we do invites by application on our website. We do this to help ensure the quality of the person in Tribe (non toxic). This Linkshell is just for running, but we won't kick anyone out unless they're being absolutely horrible. You can always message me on MSN/Yahoo/Facebook Chat/Gmail Chat/Skype or on my personal email if you have questions about the Tribe Gaming Community.


I can't attend but will there be a stream/video?

Yes! I will be streaming from http://www.twitch.tv/TribeGaming_Sharess

There will likely be more! I'll let you all know who all is streaming and making videos!


Where are you guys running?

We made you a set of maps!
