   Race to the centre of the universe!
The race is to reach the centre of the universe (square 0 -2) closest to 8pm on Sunday 4th September. Start whenever you like - if you start too early you will arrive too early, and if you start too late well, you'll be too late.

ALL ADVICE WELCOME
advice needed - how to get there, how to prove it, how many prizes (winner takes all, or 20 runners-up, etc), military protection for those racing

Hugie - 2000 GoldNesse - 600 beer 
any other contributions?

Also mentioned in "7 days" http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/topic2317_post25561.html#25561

	I assume that screenshots of the World Map and the message/report received are the proof needed. Well IT SHOULD be the proof. Or we can also have a ton of people looking at the map at around the race end-time. We should also have a panel of judges or a committee. Experts in spotting photoshopped images are needed. :D
