Well, here is the deal.
You have your targets. No xp rewards for them; the reward therte is to actually get who you want.
But the trick now is the betting on the results of the race. If yuou want in, you pick a canidate. If he wins, you score an xp!
But you ALSO score an xp for making sure someone else's candiate does NOT win... so long as you do not kill the candidate concerned; that is too easy and obvious.
No, you can only bet on one.
And no, the one you want to end up having does not have to be the one you bet on to win the race.
First come first served on the bets!
Some additional ones you have noted:
- One guy who picked up two axes in the melee, one from a downed comrade, and duel-wielded.
- One guy who took off his armour (and indeed, almost everything else, aside from some Star Wars modesty)
- One that is a very odd colour, more bue than brown. Bit fo a wild card, that one
- One with no nose. Insert joke here.
