Forum Post of the Day: Gnome hunting season
Over on the official forums, poster Flaval informs us that Gnome hunting season has begun and will last until August 28th. Though Flaval makes this sound like a Horde-only event, I'm sure there are plenty of Alliance who would also be eager to participate. But here's the big question -- when does Night Elf hunting season start? Blood Elf hunting season? Inquiring minds want to know!
So, how many of you will be participating in this year's Gnome hunting?

It's like rabbit hunting except they don't live in burrows and can shoot you with magic! Wooo, dinner time! Fire up the spit!

There's a specific season?!?!?! Oops, my bad. I though that it was a year round thing. It's not like they're an endangered species. They always seem to come back after I kill em' though.

I'm all for the next Tauren hunting season. If we could somehow exterminate them from the game entirely I'd be happy.

We didn't have to declare a season for all Blood Elves to be Kill-On-Sight. :)

Leave Tauren out of this, I detect jealousy.

I reject this. I play a gnome in the game, and I feel this is an insult to other gnomes. There are tons of jokes made to us, constantly. I guess I take it too personal, but this kind of stupidity reflects the narrow minds and sterotypes of the real world, and an event like this just reinforces it.

I apologize previously for the murderous rampage I might cause during the hunting season. *shy*
BRING IT ON! Look for me, Arcany Gnome mage on Aggramar(EU. Maybe I can have a real challange, GNA, GNA!

Now, Everyone remember the most important part of Gnome hunting. It is a sport you undertake for the glory, the bragging rights, maybe even for that new pair of slippers you've been thinking of getting. But there is one important thing to remember not to do.
Do not under any circumstance eat a gnome, you do not know what sort of chemicals or potions that they have ingested or soaked in, this is the race that nuked its own capitol remember.

I and my Gnome are taking a vacation. We'll be back when the rest of you decide to be sane again.

I guess I'm a poacher.

LoL .. I went from a Tauren Shaman, to a Gnome Mage
I have been a target all my life !

I punt gnomes whenever I see one.

I'd much rather hunt Blood Elves. Then again, it's always Open Season on their emaciated hides.

I really don't understand all the animosity toward gnomes. They're just an imaginary race in a game. If you don't like a race, don't play them, but actively hating them for their physical features is senseless.
All of you need to take a deep breath and remember that the person behind that character you hate is just that--a person, and one with similar interests to you, at that.
Hatred against in-game avatars is dehumanizing and irrational.
Unless it's against elves. Then it's natural and right.
Death to elves!

I think the anti-gnomism is due to the unnerving effect gnomes have on other players. I originally rolled Horde on a pvp server and found the sight of a mass of bouncing, hopping gnomes rolling out of Ratchet towards the Crossroads rather unsettling and creepy.
So when the wife wanted to re-roll Alli I of course made both of us roll gnomes. ;)

Gnome season huh? didn't know we had specific season for picking on the little guy/girl. I for one agree with 9... Bring it! I maybe small and I may go down, but you'll go with me ;-)! Arc/Fire gnome mage FTW (no matter what level)!
Seriously, this is a normal thing, or is Flaval just promoting his hatred to others? Or next year this time will I have to be on my guard again? Just wondering.
