Death Badger 500 Winners

23 Nov, 2006

After two frantic races, the results are in.

image Last night saw the inaugural Death Badger 500 races on both the Union and Defiant servers, with dozens of eager heroes taking the opportunity to display their badge-hunting skills and healthy disregard for their own safety.

Both races went very well, with many thrills, spills and mass deaths along the way. In the end, though, there could be only one winner on each server.

Union’s Death Badger 500, which started at 7pm GMT, was an extremely close-run thing. In a near-photo finish, Ninja Run just pipped runner-up Shank’s Pony to the line, entering the Founder’s Falls ICON store less than a second ahead of his rival!

Defiant’s race got underway at 8pm GMT. Although runner-up Kenya Mom put in a brave effort, the clear winner was Tiger Candy, whose go-faster pink stripes saw him cross the line in record time!

Read on for more details of both races…

WWOOOOO Live Badger and Dead Badger are on 2 defiant pics wooo!!! Oh yeah was really great looking foward to next one but though it was a bit unfair to people with slow loading times though.

yh i agree with live badger but i think that it was kinda badly thought out because some peeps didnt realise u said go at first and the badges were hiden and i think next time u should tell us where they r to make it better and more of a challenge. instead of hiding them then expecting us to search the whole of kings row trying to find it because i got lost trying to find it.

dead badger: The badges required for the race were announced well in advance, in order to give everyone the time to find out where there were and plan their route.

We do apologise for any confusion over the start - we did give a ‘ready’, followed by a ‘set’ and then a ‘go’, but we’ll try to make it clearer which chat channels to pay attention to in the next Death Badger race.
