Wow Kol, top five every time!

Rumours of a payoff are unfounded and scurrilous accusations

Anyone interested in alternative tables?

This has been a welcome distraction today from sorting stuff for my uncle's funeral so I have all the data if people are interested...

Do you mean your scores vs Stu's?
Yeah, that'd be interesting

Necro

Yeah, just compiling the data now. Be interesting to see how the contest would have gone with a solo judge either way

Pretzill

I'm just pleased none of mine were picked in last place. And it's interesting to see there are a few of us on either the same points or very close.

So as you can see my savaging of poor old fixxer is balanced out by Stu

And vice versa for Rikand being brutalised by Stu, I balance that a little bit.

Some of the scores are almost identical though which is pretty cool.

sully's as an example, only one point in difference between us.

Electric Nitwit

14pt difference for me!

Second with Necro, suck it Banjo
Eleventh with Stu

Ten of those points actually come from Bed of Roses low positioning :eek:

Pretzill

Not long to go now until the final reveal. This round was quite tough to score because of the quality of the entries. Some unearthed gems, some old reliables, plus a couple of songs that just didn't resonate with me but were still good to hear.

Forget last place, I absolutely hate it. There are no losers in this 'game'...




Walrus is a means for us to interact in the community and share music with each other under the framework of a 'game'. Whoever finishes in 17th does not have the worst taste in music, whoever finishes 1st does not have the best. It's just a matter of compatibility in tastes between 2-3 people out of a group of 15+ in some wildly subjective categories in a widely subjective interest.

The actual winners are the judges and anyone else who chooses to give every entry a few listens in order to try and embrace something new or outside of their comfort zone. There be gold there in those playlists, yarr.

Songs I've ranked low, I'm definitely the better for hearing them despite their rankings. Off the top of my head - The Button Pusher, War of the Worlds, Arthur McBride, Saints and Angels, Butterflies, all songs which didn't fare well in a certain category for me but songs I will listen to again and have done since the rounds they featured in.

When someone submits something which I just can't mesh with, my thoughts don't automatically go to "Jeez, what's wrong with them?", no, more the opposite. Except for Eurovision round, there was some unreal gack in that

Electric Nitwit

Necro

*wipes away tears*

There's a lesson in that for us all people!!

Actually given this is Walrus, this is how this post reads if it were a song

In parkrun, they have a tail walker, so no matter how slow you are at 5km, you're never last. There should be something similar in Walrus. I don't mind volunteering if anyone wants? With entries so bad that they'll always be worse than everyone elses?

(Too late for this one of course)

And what would be the point of me entering then so :pac::pac::pac:

Pretzill

This is Walrus;

Some make it to the top;



And some stick at the bottom;



But the main thing is each one of us, tried.

This warmed my heart

I might actually do a 5km run sometime...

Sometime.

17th spot coming up in the next 15 minutes, get your tea and preferred biscuits ready. Oh wait, different game.
