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

[jimhigham]

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...

Sad.

I've heard rumours about the stadiums not being ready in time? Can you confirm or deny?

I heard they were using slave ant labour to build them. Disgraceful.

How many employees have had to die for this event to take place?

Year of the TIGER.

Honey Badger will be weakened by the 'no bottle tops allowed' rule.

Please don’t.

Just rinse and repeat every WHC thread from the last 12 years.

Please sort out your 2nd, 3rd, 4th....100th accounts out now please.

All the desperate emails for password resets gets awfully tiresome.

If it had taken on a Tiger, it would have been mauled to death. Twice. Ripped, eaten and then ceremonially slaughtered.

Not a chance. Rattel gives zero f***s. No matter the opps. Bring it on.

Can't believe the negativity for the highlight of the year.

Surely nobody is sad enough to have multiple accounts that they only wheel out at this time of the year?

If there are such people, and they can’t remember their password, that’s their problem. Sod em, I say.

If we don’t get the result we want this time can we just push for a re vote? #PeoplesVote

 

[Knocky's Nose]

What if the Honey Badger does a Nazi salute whilst out for a meal with ten other Honey Badgers?

It’s fair. It wouldn’t be NSC without some negativity.
