The man is clearly a shadow of his old self.
First impressions, a top tier with a probable winnar; an ok tier, and a meh tier. Nobody fell for any of my insta nodium tarps, so deciding the meh-est of the meh is going to be the hardest part.
I’d like to reveal somewhere in the middle of the pack if that can be arranged.
Good to know I’ve got at least one winner of the bunch.
As for mine… SOMEBODY did not read my previous walruses. And oh boy will they pay
I did not attempt to read up on the walrus meta at all so I am very afraid this is me.
might be me. CM and I always seem to have a serious disconnect when it comes to walrus.
somebody def did not read my previous grab bags for other reasons.
If my submission for your category is “meh” then I have no idea and will give up walrusing completely. It’s the best one of everything I submitted this time, by far.
I kind of want to see a reverse Walrus, where the goal is to nodium, and have people disappointed that the judge actually liked their submission.
I did NOT submit Echo and the Bunnymen, I swear
If Pauwl spent half the time he spends deleting messages in writing up the reveal we would already have one category down.
@skydiver8 I highly doubt you are the offender based on the song.
I definitely did not read your previous grab bags and mostly just picked out songs I like for every category.
I think I have to delete some mean stuff in my write ups too.
I haven’t done a reveal before, out of curiosity, does a ‘it’s not you it’s me’ soft landing assuage the anguish of those who finish last, or does it merely lay bare the spineless unworthiness of the judge?
i will bet all the money I lost on pauwl that it wasn’t your entry.
I’ve been the bad guy before and it left a bunch of people butt hurt. Now, I try to be nice and at least say something positive and keep it brief. You don’t have to go full “it’s not you, it’s me”, but I would try not to write off a whole genre as garbage as opposed to just saying you don’t like it.
me too.
Of course it doesn’t work and I end up sounding bitchy anyway
Some of my past reviews have been like:
“I can see how somebody might be into this”
or
“It’s nice words”.
At the risk of bringing the wrath of gods down on my head:
“I’m sorry you feel that way”
I go with “bless your heart” for the nodiums.
