The following is the information i asked for a long time ago and noone could find the answers for me, I managed to some how stumble across it at Wormtopia 2.0.. so for those of you interested of the Concrete Donkey read on.
1 What is the Concrete Donkey?
The Concrete Donkey represents the good side of every Worms player. It is almost like a god, guiding and helping players who need it. It is also a weapon that was developed for WormsDC, and still continues through the series. The Concrete Donkey is a very powerful weapon.
Seriously though, the Donkey is just another one of the weird things that has been introduced to the Worms community via Andy Davidson, one of the nuttiest people in the world. It does help those people who are psychologically convinced it exists though.
2 Who invented this Donkey thing?
None other than Andy Davidson, who incidentally is also the person who invented Worms, the game that we all love and cherish. The Concrete Donkey came about from a lawn ornament his parents had when he was a child.
3 Somebody mentioned 'Betong Ã…sna', what does that mean?
Betong Ã…sna is Swedish for Concrete Donkey, Andy Davidson loves converting things into Swedish for some reason, perhaps he wants to live in Sweden. If you use that phrase in any Worms-related place, it should be recognised.
4 How can I contact this inventor?
If you'd like to contact Andy Davidson, wacky inventor of the Concrete Donkey, you can drop him an e-mail message. His e-mail address is
theworm@team17.com Warning, this person is quite insane. Well, we think so.
5 Why are the capitalisations of the C and D in Concrete Donkey stressed?
Any "concrete donkey" without capitalisation is actually an imitation Concrete Donkey and is most probably evil, for more information concerning fake and evil Concrete Donkeys, see the next Question.
6 Does that mean the "the" in "the Concrete Donkey" has to be capitalised too?
Only if you're using it at the start of a sentence, or any other time when it needs to be capitalised due to grammar. If the 'the' is not capitalised, but the C and D are, then it is a real Concrete Donkey.
7 How do I spot an evil-and-fake Concrete Donkey?
As said before, any "concrete donkey" without a capital C and D at the beginning are imitation Concrete Donkeys, possibly evil. If a concrete donkey is made of the 70's concrete, then it is evil and probably friend to the "foul smelling buffalo of lies". Put your faith not in these evil donkeys, they will only mislead you.
8 Ok, I know what the Donkey is, but what's this buffalo thing?
Well, we're not really sure how the Buffalo of Lies became so evil, but it is, and that's all there is to it. So stay away from it or it will lead you to the dark side of the Dark Side.. and that's very dark.
9 What is this CDP thingy?
The CDP is the Concrete Donkey Party, you might want to talk to Andy Davidson for more information, but basically it is a group of people dedicated to watching out for donkeys being concreted over, the result of people trying to make their own Concrete Donkeys, but there is only one true Concrete Donkey.
10 What are some of the projects of the CDP?
"The aim of the CDP is to stamp out this disgusting practice of concreting over donkeys for pleasure. We will show people what goes on at the EVIL 'Donkey Farms' where donkeys are bred for the explicit purpose of becoming nothing more than 'garden ornaments' - undercover video footage and Open University style flow-charts will bring home just how shocking this process is." -Andy Davidson, Worms.Team17.com Hot Seat interview.
11 Is there a difference between the BAP and the CDP?
Not really, the BAP is the Betong Ã…sna Partiet, which is the Swedish wing of the CDP. So, technically they are the one and same thing.
12 How does the Donkey tie into the Dark and Light Sides of Worms?
Well, the Concrete Donkey helps both sides. The buffalo is associated with the Dark Side, but not all Dark Siders hail it. The Buffalo is too evil even for some people. There is different methods for both sides of the Donkey.
13 Where can I find out more info about the Dark Side?
You can find more information by clicking on the link on the left. That will take you to the Dark Side page where you can learn tactics and tips to being a sucessful Dark Sider but be warned, once you turn to the Dark Side, the Concrete Donkey may never look at you the same again.
14 Can you tell me some of the inventor's preachings?
Sure, here you go:
"Worship the Donkey, for it is GOOD and made of concrete. Beware of those built with cheap, 70s concrete for they are EVIL. Also known as the Betong Ã…sna."
"I was in the pub one day doing an interview thing (as you do!), when i got movie-like flashbacks (white flashing light and everything
about chipping away at the concrete donkey with a stone to see if a real donkey was inside - i was convinced as a child my parent had imprisoned live animals in concrete, which i think affected my mental state .... so the donkey is to thank for all my ideas
"
"concrete donkeys without capitals are the cheap, mass-produced donkeys usually found in garden-centres."
"Turn not to the foul smelling buffalo of lies, for it is EVIL."
15 Where can I find out more about the Concrete Donkey?
Well, you could always e-mail Andy Davidson himself. The chances that you'll get ahold of him are very slim, however, because he's not worked for Team17 for quite a while and has become one of those millionaire recluses.
