I totally disagree on this.

It is absolutely obvious that you have to make a full exploration, using the NPC map, before starting the race.

It's not very difficult to imagine to follow the full path and flag all the waypoints on main map. In this way you have just to click your landmark to have the compass direction.

It encourages a full exploration of the land before doing the race. In my humble opinion, this is a good idea.

Last thing, not related to the quote, but mentioned somewhere:

I don't think it's possible to make a targeting macro, because the waypoints have no names, but, anyway, if it's possible to do, then it's just more thinking.... every player have macro system at disposal, so there is nothing "unfair" in this system since everyone could use it.

Only the speed option was a bit unfair, making people without eggs, unable to compete. All the other stuff was just something available to everyone that wanted to use a bit of brain, so they deserve to win the races, eventually.

Just my opinion.

Edit: removed the different opinion of speeding up stanza and eggs, because I was wrong, not considering speeding up comes in different levels. Removing fully any speed option was correct.

Well it seems that gingos have a taste for race flags. :D

Someone may want to look at waypoint 4 of the current race before it is completely eaten.

You needn't worry, the waypoints are quite capable of defending themselves.

Observe a gingo trying to eat a waypoint for a while, and you'll see the waypoint beat the gingo into submission. :p

Eh.... Nauplius (which you misspelled as Naupilus btw) placed third in the last race?

I thought you ignored alts for the final standings? :confused:

According to the rules, they're individual players, as long as they're not bots (in which case another set of rules, banning botting, comes into effect).

Where alts have been removed from the ranking, it's at the request of their main.

True and I specifically asked that my alts not be included as to keep it fair and fun for others. I just run Naup for fun and practice, no need for him to get any prizes. That being said, it seems to have already been corrected.
