Next Tuesday (New Year's Day) at 8:30PM EST, a group of fervent supporters of Ron Paul's bid for the presidency of the United States are planning a virtual rally on World of Warcraft's Whisperwind server.

According to the fourteen pages of planning for the event found in this Ron Paul website, players plan to create a guild (presumably with a name designed to advertise their political affiliation), then march from Ironforge to Stormwind.

While I'm sure Mr. Paul's ubiquitous Internet support will manage to draw hundreds of supporters to this e-rally, this sort of thing is a far-too-tempting target for griefers as well. If you want to show off your virtual political allegiances, I'd recommend getting there before the local hooligans start spamming the chat channels and pelting people with snowballs.
