[Misc] World's Hardest Creature XII - Coming Soon(ish)

[Pevenseagull]

That is the generally accepted definition, yes. And viruses cannot reproduce - not without a living cell host

Are we not obligate parasites of Gaia?
Ergo dependent on our cell host?

(I do not buy into any of this bollocks).

Right, mitochondria? If it's got mitochondria it's in.

How's that?

 

[Pevenseagull]

What are we running on nowadays? Respiration = living? Metabolism? Krebs cycle? Mitotic division?


I say, if it multiplies .... It's living .... and shoot the ****er.

Frankly, I'm not sure there even needs to be a vote this time around. #TeamTiger has such momentum early doors, it's a real campaign of the people. Time to recognise the ferocious fella in full glory, he's not one to be tickled.

WHEN?

The people can't be kept waiting much longer, it's getting ridiculous now.

This. It's mid Feb FFS!


GET ON WITH IT.

You're having a larff. My Jaguar would have your tiger and do 100 press-ups and physical jerks afterwards to boot. You're a dreamer.

Only 5 creatures have made it through to (i.e. been nominated and seconded for) the WHC and failed to register a single vote.

These are:

Weaver Fish

Nautiloid

Moray Eel

Horse Fly

Fossa

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

WHC ticks all the boxes of the BBC

Imform, educate and entertain

...and typos in every article. That’s a new maxim, I grant you, but they’re doing their best to make it so.

I trod on a Weaver Fish once. It was f**king painful I can tell you, so I am absolutely delighted it is suffering utter the HUMILIATION of failing to register a single vote. The little twàts.

Barnacles are hard creatures. Literally takes more than a sledgehammer to knock them off a rock. Ugly ********* too. Gotta be a contender surely?

I can confirm, they are ****ing ******** but they justify me owning a pair of 'crocs' in case I ever have the urge to go shrimping.

I don't even know what fantasy world you're living in! But instead of responding to your reasoned suggestion, I'm fighting back by going low. Here's you ferocious beast!

 

[Commander]

Evening all. Well it's almost that time again. Many of you will be thrilled, some of you will be heartily cheesed off but there's no denying that the annual WHC contest has become an NSC essential.

As I'd mentioned in my overly sentimental new year post, I'm quite busy these days, as I'm running two jobs concurrently. With this in mind, I'm not going to be able to roll out WHC XII until mid-February rather than its usual January slot. I'm sure you'll all get over this delay but if any of you are so impatient for animal based barneys then you're more than welcome to kick it off. Failing that: sit tight. The creatures will be scrapping shortly.

Before then, I wanted to take a moment to get your views on a few WHC format issues. All of these were touched on last year, so I thought I'd see what the consensus was before this year's contest begins.

Weekday polls
Weekendgate upset many of you last year. Am I to assume that polling should only take place Monday to Friday?

Poll length
How do we feel about poll length? 2 days? 3 days? More?

Public polling
Much has been made about the pro and anti badger brigade in the past. A couple of people have suggested public polls as a means of seeing just who is voting for who. Do we care enough about this?

Seeding
A perennial WHC chestnut. Should the competition retain its essential knock out format or would you all prefer something a little more Wimbledonish?

Thoughts please...

'Mid February'. IT'S THE 28th FEB FFS.

Shame on you. Shame on you.

Looks like this is having a year off, like the Glastonbury festival sometimes has.

 

[jimhigham]

I was wondering when somebody might notice.

Some of you may know that alongside my day job I moonlight shooting for Sussex Sport Photography. This means that I'm currently on a stretch of working 18 out of 19 days. I'm also trying to squeeze in training for the Brighton Marathon so things are a little... busy?

It's coming. Honestly. Just need to clear a couple more items off the "to do" list.

Fantastic, so you'll be free to get started in 2 days then. Looking forward to it.

Lets get things kicked off this Friday, come on you slag.

But that is like TB/PB/CH telling us all that the club are having a year off and not going to field a team next season.

WHC is a true fixture and MUST happen (although I am no way offering any organisational input! - greatest respect to those who make this event possible!).
[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]... the banner will need changing to reflect that no creature is "hard" this year... Seagulls win by default.
