Soosdon wants your Gnomes

Calling all Gnomes... Calling all Gnomes... Baron Soosdon, one of the best machinima creators out there, wants your Gnomes. In a post over on the EU forums he tells everyone "[I] need gnomes, gnome dying and flying into the air." The gnomes will be used for an upcoming machinima project of his.
Some of his previous work is great, and I really suggest you check it out. The Device Has Been Modified is one of my favorite pieces of machinima, and Child Escapism also ranks quite high.
If you want to get into this project you'll need to follow the instructions he outlines in his post. EU Community Team member Wryxian points out Soosdon is looking for gnomes and not crocolisks, so let's try to remember that (if there is any confusion, that is).
And in case you're worried about gnome hate, a very serious problem in Azeroth, Soosdon lets us all know that he doesn't hate Gnomes, and that the video itself won't be about killing gnomes.
Are you still there?

I hope this Movie will be amazing, if not better then This device Has Been Modified, true creativity went into that, and it shows through his work. I am sure Soosdon will be a beautiful piece of work.

Well if it turns out anything like his one vaguely Final Fantasy-related video, then we might end up just getting rickrolled in a more subtle fashion again.

Gnome punting or GTFO.

Gnome hate is a serious problem in Azeroth? Are you kidding me?
I'm a Forsaken warlock and I, for the record, do not hate gnomes. In fact, I love gnomes. I have an especially good recipe for gnome tartar I can share. Also a gnome pate ("pate de foe gras") that goes great on crackers.

I'm also a Forsaken and I think gnomes are great too, no other race fits whole into a crockpot..

Wonder if he'll let us US players throw in our gnomes :o

Yes they are - I already have a nice amount of gnomes from US!

If gnomes aren't being maimed, beaten, butchered or killed I'm not interested. I'll just wait for epic work by Blind.

I like to punt gnomes on a regular basis. It's fun.

I am sacrificing my Gnome in a noble cause!

Hear hear!
Dying is a small price to pay for 5 seconds of fame!

Never fails.
Mention gnomes and the whordies come out of the woodwork with the same tired jokes.
Get some new material or don't bother commenting.

Baron Soosdon will not get any where near my Gnomes.

Should be Chilled Escapism, not that it makes much more sense.. but that's the title.

So much Gnome hatred. Everywhere I go, I hear people badmouthing Gnomes. Well I'll have you know, they are sensitive, thoughtful, intelligent creatures with a sense of loyalty that is unrivaled...
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm thinking of GNOLLS. My mistake. Carry on!

See there is a small part of me that feels sorry for the horde even though I am such a pvper.
Reason is, its a well known fact (at least on alliance side) that the best loot only drops off raid bosses after a properly misdirected gnome is sacrificed for the greater good.
Gnome Mages and Warlocks are the preferred sacrifices (amazing loot for pink pigtails) however Rogues do work as proper sacrifices. Unfortunately Gnome Warriors do not work as a sacrifice, even the dps ones.

"Child" Escapism made me lol
Typo's FTQ!

And I want to add my disclaimer: No, I definitely do not hate gnomes - quite the opposite. All my alliance alts are gnomes.
Gnomes are the only alliance race I tolerate :)
My next movie (No Point: Stretching Time) has gnome as it's main characters. It's trailer was featured here not too long ago (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/25/wow-moviewatch-no-point-stretching-time-trailer/).
The video I'm searching the gnomes for will be filmed and released after No Point - unless some magic fairy waves her wand to my PC and makes it have more free slots for more hard drives, both external and internal :)
