There's lots of different ways you can do the reveals. I have seen ones that were done via live video stream which were pretty cool, so people could tune into the feed and watch the person as they revealed

but anyways

We'll just get started with a list of names of people who want to run their own and we'll go from there

Post below and we'll update the list as we go along

For general references, this is an example of how a sign up thread might look like

And this is the current on going reveal for that sign up : https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057993901/1

I already have something in mind. Was thinking about putting something up and then running the reveal after the next WW game ends. I'm modding that so will have time to listen while it's on.

If anyone is super keen to run one before that I can wait though.

I'm not quite sure what you mean lol

I think of categories of songs that I would like to hear from people.
I let people submit those songs to me
After the closing date has arrived, I then start listening to those songs and then I start doing the category reveals at times that are convenient
I then reveal

Theres lots of ways you can score (entirely up to you how you score [ cat fit, what you like, is it something new, does it have a great video, i dunno] whatever fits the score for you)

Theres lots of ways you can reveal - in thread, by audio, by video, by live feed and all of the last 3 with people commenting on thread at the same time.

Have I covered the bases ? Apart from that, just check the sign up threads that myself and Ecto have created

Ok guys after a whiskey or 2 in the pub last night I explained the game to Mr Molly who is SO up for running one of these with me. He loves finding new music so can we have the slot after Necro please? So it'll be me and AnLachaCorca running it. Interested to see how Necro's co-captaining works out.

Given the lead time in listening to all submissions, i dont see why we cant have multiple games running alongside one another, Molly. If you want to fire ahead, do so. You can then stagger the reveal so it doesnt conflict with anyone elses.

I agree with Baggly - we can run this any way that we want. It's just what worked best on my original forum as peoples category fitting supply dwindled, they needed new music to replenish. But in the early days of Walrus here, I dont see any problem with multiple signups running.

Can even have multiple reveals running if they dont clash on reveal days

Well we're just thinking of both giving each song a score out of X (x being the number of entries in the game) and then adding the scores together to get an overall placing for each entry. We already have a few categories we'd like to include.

I think if we get a new sign up thread started as soon as the sign ups for the previous one close? It keeps the momentum.

Yeah, that's the way molly

With duos revealing. Both people listen to the song. Each gives it a mark out of 10 or something and then add the two scores together or average or whatever to decide your placings. Even more fun if each person writes their own review of the song

Molly :: I loved it, 10/10
Mrmolly :: I hated it. 1/10

Yeah that's exactly what we were thinking. 2 smallish reviews with both scores (so people can see if I liked it more than him or vice versa) and a combined total to come to the final placing.

Necro and Friend are currently deep in planning mode for our Walrus categories.

Should (hopefully) be ready to post sign ups at the next available opportunity (basically, when PJ closes his sign ups or Ecto's reveal finishes, whichever comes first)
