2010 World's Hardest Creature, First Round, Group B

[turienzo's lovechild]

I know you're excited and that, but you can't DO that. NSC is populated by punters doing SHIFTS. You need to ensure tht all of NSC's contributors get the chance to vote they were PROMISED.

No rule changing.

they had all of yesterday though? 2 days is surely far too long and could threaten to sap all the energy out of the tournament!

or alternatively it could add to the SUSPENSE

yeah, you're right......the initial time limit REMAINS

i've also noticed that some people have voting in some groups but not others.......so i must give them the chance to place their votes that they're thinking so DEEPLY about

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

the swan and that bloody SNAIL are proving to be the RALPH NADER and ROSS PEROT of this tournament

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Has the Moon bear done enough in this group of death?

The Swan gets my vote, the likes of the Colossal Squid and the Great White Shark do not come close too its pedigree.

those 10 votes for a BIRD and a SNAIL have put a major spanner in the works here

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The winner of this group deserves the semi at least.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

O man... I thought this vote ended today

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

well group A isn't that tough so the winner will almost definitely progress into the EVIL EIGHT round, and i'd fancy any of the 3 to give the tiger a decent game

From Deadly Kingdom

Here's a report and video of a recent incident in Japan: a moon bear beat the hell out of nine tourists, then was shot dead by hunters. The moon bear, also known as the Asian black, Tibetan, or Himalayan bear, is about the same size as the North American black bear, topping out at about 330 pounds, but this seems to have been a small one.

n Asian black bear has been shot dead after attacking a group of tourists at a bus station in central Japan.

Four people were seriously injured in the attack in Takayama, Gifu prefecture, according to the Japanese news agency Kyodo.

After the attack, the 1.3m (4ft) bear fled through the bus terminal, and into a souvenir shop.

Employees then trapped it inside the shop, and the bear was later shot dead by officials.

Bite marks

The male bear attacked a group of nine people, mostly tourists who were visiting nearby mountains.

According to Kyodo, four men were seriously hurt, with injuries including facial bite marks.

"I saw a man being attacked by the bear," one eyewitness told reporters.

"I tried to help him but the bear kept attacking him. It seemed his face was seriously injured."

Just one quote needed here

Each year in Japan, the human death toll caused by Asian giant hornet stings exceeds that of all other venomous and non-venomous wild animals combined, including wild bears and venomous snakes.

Would it be possible to take my vote away from the Swan and give it too the HORNET?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

no- you wasted your vote on that silly regal BIRD and you'll have to deal with the consequences

what have you learned from this? THINK ABOUT YOUR VOTE
