fnord's Walrus II: STFU Donnie! ZOMG REVEAL - Page 8

lol me

Was putting the thing together quickly, while tired. Had all the other categories locked up. Just listened to my playlist on shuffle to find something modern, with a bit of an old school sound, and forgot about the year limit.

What I like about the scoring system is that you can score exactly 0.75 points, like it's scientifically determined down to two decimal points how much you ****ed up.

Official power rankings:

1. IBD
2. legend
3. tappokone

Funny considering how bad IBD did in my game, now he submits something really awesome and he barely makes top 10 because of lolfnord, Walrusing is a bitch.

_Love and Curses_ has some nice songs aside from "Broken Things", but I recommend _Too Much Guitar_ if you don't mind tons of guitar.

I should probably redo that round summary after coffee with the components of the scores....

Should probably correct the scoring while you're at it.

At any rate, I just re listened to it but I still didn't add it to my walrus play list.

I think there were a lot of strong entries in that round.

Once it is posted, unless it is a formula error or a typo it's set in stone. I could go tweak scores all day today, but that's not what's going to happen!

I'm also not finding Nick's appealments very convincing atm, I'm not sure he really believes what he's saying. Where's the passion, I ask?

I think realizing someone submitted a better King Khan song sucked it out of him. Let's hope he bounces back.

True, but the song wasn't even close to the top.

I agree it was a good category though, better than I expected.

At this point it takes quite a lot to truly get me riled up, feels like I've already experienced the full register terrible modding.

I say podium finishers each round get to vote on a lesser contestant to smite during the period in between reveals. I will vote on Nick. Where'd he finish? I usually skip over the first few each round so I didn't see his name here...

Scoring mistakes power rankings, round 1:

1. Kimbra getting 1/1 for fit/triteness (though this probably was a troll)
2. Bloo getting 1.2 for fit (though this was probably out of pity)
3. The swing band getting 1.1 for fit (can't be pity so no idea what went on here)

Can't get too upset about pity points and trolls.

Glad to wake up and see some people dug my submission. It's all downhill from here.

Probably due to my expert writeup. But srsly, mine was the only song that could have easily been written 150 years ago, and but for the sound quality the recording could be from the heyday of Appalachian folk.
