Fireworks of red, blue, white, green and yellow lit the sky above the moonwell in Stormwind. Drinks flowed freely and bright colored fabrics caught the light. Members of Force Recon were celebrating their 3rd anniversary in a fabulous party!

Thanks to everyone who attended and brought items to enhance the mood. A special thanks to Nathelien for the fireworks launchers. Thanks to Verdantine and Magnique from our alliances for celebrating with us as well.

Our new tabard was unveiled during the festivities and it looks great! Congrats to the whole guild on choosing it.

Here's one of several screenshots taken during the festivities. If you have screenshots to share, please post them in the forum as well.

On Saturday afternoon we assembled at the gates of Stormwind for a Level 1 death race to Booty Bay. There was much anticipation about this race given how many members were planning their strategies and preparing their racers before the big event. And, sure enough, the race did not disappoint! Racers such as the Pinktwinks and Doodle brought a new level of preparedness to the starting line and left many much intimidated by their impressive stats. Other racers freely embraced the "fresh off the farm" racing strategy, and MiniKori had a pretty blue sparkler!

It was quite an impressive array of ponytails and pink hair!

The race was well run and full of fun commentary by Sleepyeyed, who officiated at the event. The death count was staggering and left all the racers in rags and tatters by the end, their gear broken by the repeated attacks from the panthers and gorillas that constantly seemed to appear out of nowhere. And yes, some of those gorillas were STEALTHED!

Here are the race results:

1. Maxpro (Brostin)
2. Pinktwiink (Valasca)
3. Forcesquishy (Honu)
4. Piinktwink (Ephany)
5. Flash (Eoran)
6. Doodle (Zindie)
7. Minikori (Koriander)
8. Peasncarrots (Gaelynn)
9. Bignestra (Nestra)
10. Yeehaa (Cathleen)

We hope everyone had a great time at the Founder's Day Celebrations this year. Special thanks to our Founder Cathleen for starting this guild and for giving us an excuse to celebrate each year. And thanks to everyone for their continued friendship and support and for making the guild what it is.

Here's to a great 4th year of Force Recon.

Force Recon Rules!
