TSP Badger Race 1000



And the Badger Racing goes a little something like this...



If you want to enter your Badger...Then just drop me a PM (Personal Message) containing the following information:

Badger Name

Badger Racing Colours (1st and 2nd Preference)

Badger Speed

Badger Stamina

Badger Special Ability



And to explain each of these elements in turn...

Now to help you the following people have already adopted their own cuddly ball of black 'n' white fluff 'n' joy:



Kloister - Mr Jones

Fidei Defensor - Philippe

PapaC - Jean Luc

TGHS - Sparky

J Delight - Trixie

Herculeum - Vienna

htz3 - Fifi

ParrrrTay - Erica

Elizabiethian - Rembrandt

TEPC - Tiddles

Fudge - Antonio

Dick Van Dyke - Bludger

Caer_Rialis - Bors

Unica - Tito

HutSutRaw - Sebastian

Military Force - Stefan

Groot - Kenny

King J - Lulubelle

Atag - Romeo

Dingaling - Bernardo

Semartica - Lenny



Appreciate that some of the names listed above (taken from the Badger Adoption Agency Record Vault) have not been seen around these parts for a little while, but you never know who might just pay a visit for the festivities...



You can choose any colour/s you like for the specially constructed Badger Racing Suit, but the wackier the better, and it lessens the chance of two or more people picking the same colour combo...Hence the 1st and 2nd preferences...



For Speed and Stamina settings what you need to do is take the number 30 and keep that in mind...You can then assign a value to each...The total of the two values should not exceed 30, so for example you could have:

Speed 15 and Stamina 15, or

Speed 10 and Stamina 20, but not

Speed 20 and Stamina 20...That's right out and is the Badger Racing equivalent of doping...And we will have no Badgerbolic Steroids round here thank you very much...



So how do you decide what values to pick, well that is all down to the length of the race and the terrain...There are several different variables and they are:

Number of Laps - 3 laps, 5 laps, 7 laps or 10 laps

Terrain - Smooth as a Badger's ****, Rolling Meadows, Swampy, Sandy or Rougher than a Badger's ****



These all have a correlating effect on the Speed and Stamina settings...Not going to go into too much more detail than that as I am sure you will be able to work it out for yourselves...



The Special Ability is provides us with the Wild Card and that air of unpredictability, and the race commentator the artistic license to do whatever they want once the race is under-way, so the more interesting the special ability the better chance your Badger has of pulling something 'special' out of the bag to cross that finishing line first...(A couple of examples from past Badger Races are Turbo Express Tunnelling and Razor Claws...Which would both provide a benefit for certain situations, but might hinder in others...



So if that is all clear for everyone we can get things under-way...I would like to give everyone plenty of time to get the Badgers trained sufficiently for the arduous rigours that face them...So we would look to run the race in 7 days time...The race commentary will be written in several instalments over next weekend...



Any questions then just raise them here in this thread and send through a PM with the information needed to register your Badger for the race...

[Caer Rialis]

Come on, Bors. We've been training hard for this.

[kloister]

I hope he has balanced out all that <strong class='bbc'>JAM</strong> consumption with at least some strenuous activity...Perhaps even opening the jar himself...

[Caer Rialis]

What? He's a seasoned athlete. I want him to concentrate on running and, well, ridding himself of extreme flatulence! Bors opens no JAM of his own. I have people to do that for him

[kloister]

Pampering the Badger in your life will get you everywhere!..After all it is the Coming Age of the Badger... So far we have 3 entries... At least that justifies me building the winners rostrum...

I remember Groot (full name Groot Eindhoven), and also Semartica. I don't know Unica or Dingaling, and I'm not quite sure who is hiding behind the acronym TGHS...
