G&R Walrus sign-up

Green&Red

Had a limited number of blank tapes that would be constantly recorded over until the tape player ate them or they just tore and you had to sellotape them back together

22 entries so far, closing it off this evening

sKeith

22 x 5 x ~3 = 330 mins = 5.5 hours to listen to all songs just once. Is this the biggest walrus yet?

Fair play for taking on the challenge g&r

Necro

WOW. 22 entries is god damn impressive.

Coming first or last is going to take something special

Well me and ALC have been sticking to a mostly rigid schedule of 1 song every 10-15 minutes for our reveals but that's with 14 songs. No chance of getting a reveal done in a night with 22 songs and 1 judge!

Best of luck G&R!

Green&Red

Yip, they are going to be LONG evenings!

Mollyb60

Well it's taking us 3 hours to do 14 songs. Godspeed young man.

Or taping over old crappy tapes by stuffing the corners with toilet roll to disable the mechanism that prevented it.

Did you not have any cellotape?


cellotape over the hole did the job fine, no need to stuff with toilet roll, that could fall out later and get between cogs.

I say preparation will be key. Maybe have the posts drawn up and then they just need to be posted.

So if we stay at 22 entries my plan is to start with No. 12, then 11, 13, 10, 14 etc
So the lowest ranked song will come just ahead of the highest

I'll also be running an in-game bonus point system

I'll give a brief description of the song coming up, if you guess correctly that it refers to your song you get a bonus point. However two incorrect guesses will result in losing a point. Top three songs are excluded from the bonus points in each round

Wait a second.
If you give a hint of what song is coming next, and it's my song, and I guess it correctly then I get a bonus point and now my song isn't next any more 'cause it's scored higher, so I could potentially lose a point but then if I do my songs coming next again so I'm correct, so I get a bonus point and now.....

Green&Red

You’re plan falls down smartie pants as you need to get two wrong to lose a point

sKeith

How long do you plan to leave the description up before posting the song? even just 3 minutes adds an extra hour onto the reveal, and 3 minutes seems very short.

You and your maths!

Ok, I'll write up the descriptions in advance, post them early in the day, you then get the chance to guess if its your song but there'll be no leeway, if you're correct +1, incorrect -1

Mollyb60

Do we PM you our guess?

No, on thread, I'll try and make them vague enough that they could apply to a few songs in the category

You’ve sure got your work cut out for you. Love it!

Ps: don’t forget you’ve also got an MSPaint to do

I've a bone to pick with you!

Electric Nitwit

Loving the sound of the extras GnR, some work on your plate!

Anyone not prepared to gamble on a guess will be giving away the fact they want to win walrus and, therefore, cannot be trusted

Green&Red

Last call for entries!

Green&Red

One late entry brought us up to 23

Close her up please mods

23 entries! :eek:
Think this one will need to be renamed Mammoth, a walrus just isn't big enough!

Mollyb60

I think we're gonna need a longer lead in time for this one.
