Wild Rumpus Book of Records


Welcome to the Wild Rumpus Book of Records, the official record book of Wild Rumpus games.

These are predicated on dedicated (and medicated) athletes, coming in their legions from all regions, from all stations in all nations, to raise their game to new heights of fame (and shame). The achievements of these benchmark-setters are duly recorded in letters, so that in future years we can recall their fears, their blood, sweat and tears, that brought out our awful jeers and awe-filled cheers.

You know your nation can compete at this level, so please send a representative to Where the Wild Things Are, and demonstrate your prowess on the RMB.
Can't post on the RMB? Send All Wild Things a telegram.

Please Up-Vote!

Shameless to ask I know, but please up-vote this dispatch. Up-voting raises the profile of the games and the Book of Records. A higher profile encourages more nations to take part, and then the whole thing will start to look a little less lame!

Inari Sumo

Following a public consultation about sports promotion, the town of Roi became home to a new shiro styled Sumo stadium. In the space of a week, Roi-jo was built from flatpack by untrained Roi-tonians. Here, sumo wrestlers face each other in the dohyo (ring), with the aim of rising up the banzuke ranks.

How to compete

Orienteering

To celebrate the 2017 World Games in Wroclaw, we went orienteering. Unfortunately, nobody could find the starting point! (It was in Wroclaw 2017). Hopefully our next event will be more successful.

Roulette

Our casino ran from 13th to 19th June 2017. Twenty-one nations gathered to place their bets at our roulette table. The atmosphere could be cut with a knife as the wheel of fortune was spun. We waited with bated breath until that ball came to a stop. Red four!

Congratulations to Liberalus evilus, who walked out the casino nine hot $uppers richer!

Well done to The Universe World and A dank military who each won one hot $upper.

And commiserations to Haarmony, Honeydewistania, Bobcat28, The rolling hills of ever expanding land, Bapple senate, Pigus lantia, Xin-hua-hua, Kangaroo hierarchy, Landform, Dunno doh fart, Ha ha har, GeodesicDragon, Mount Seymour, Aethelia, Duh duh, Brol, New armenian union, and Hawaiian tropical melon, who all walked out with empty pockets. Better luck next time!

Our casino has since been licensed out to The Sands.

World Cup - Russia 2018

Our bookies set up stalls outside nine Russian stadiums: Luzhniki Stadium, Spartak Stadium, Mordovia Arena, Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, Samara Arena, Kazan Arena, Kaliningrad Stadium, Ekaterinburg Arena, and Saint Petersburg Stadium

Well done Zoterik, our real winner who predicted lots of correct results. Bonus prize to The Universe World who only got two (I think) right. And lucky me, who bet against Brazil simply because no-one else was, and won!

Thanks to all who played, especially those who stayed with it right through the competition. I hope you enjoyed it! It's been great to watch your fortunes go up and down as the matches finished.
