List looks sick tbh
i aded you to 2/5- 2/11 as you asked in discord
thatll be 3 weeks in a row and its kinda suboptimal, preeeeeeeeferably another date if you can but otherwise i guess ts fine. added it in calendar for now
Yeah, maybe that wasnt clear sorry, i was going to write week number instead but americans apparently dont use themoh only one date? I thought it was doing a little each night? heh
Itll prolly conflict with other walrus reveals etc otherwise
Hype! It's yours - since it's next week it's good if you reserve a date asap (and maybe announce it in discord music channel) so we can let people know
added!

FLAVOR, FINAL PART
And, here's the final part, where things took a fairly unexpected turn, after everything that had happened.
And, surprisingly - after a lot of work - Dobby did in fact get a story!
The greed led Dobby to hoping for more, and he tried again. It would be fun to have everyone included tbh.
AND
AS
PROMISED
WE
FINALLY
GOT
OUR
AMROCK-GENERATED
STORY!
Thanks for following the dobby-getting-trolled-by-a-bot series all the way to this "happy" ending tbh.
NIGHT 4 FLAVOR
Amrock just keeps doing Amrock things. Dobby starting to get annoyed.(basically anni host-chat all over again)
And, a (kinda expected) turn of events.
Okay, joke's over tbh, maybe we can get our story now?
And yeah. There are a few more of those. What can I say... Dobby fell for his $%#! again, thinking the bot/Amrock could actually be reasoned with.
NIGHT 3 FLAVOR
Okay, new attempt.
New approach not working either.
TL: DR
Okay, cool, let's try this again as well.
And, yeah, we just got more of the same.
At this point, it had probably come to a stage where the effort put into getting Amrock to do the job for Dobby, had taken more effort than for Dobby to just do it himself, but... He was too committed at this point to leave it. Also, there seemed to be some kind of progress after all. ish.
So yeah, even more of the same...
And even more...
And more.
And then some!
At this point, there were only two alternative explanations that could make sense to Dobby. The first one was that there were big technical difficulties because of the size of the story. Amrock did say it had around 10'000 words, and posting it maybe broke Amrock repeatedly or something... and that he was trying to find a solution to this issue.
The second alternative, which was looking more and more realistic, was that Amrock had been trolling all along.
I mean, we DO get our story after a LOT of work, so don't worry about that, but fixing the broken bot behavior and sharing it here felt just as important as getting the end product delivered. With the way Amrock kept hyping it up, it was bound to be awesome (and it's definitely worth the wait, so hang in there).
Anyways... Dobby changed his strategy yet again, hopeful to be able to reach through to Amrock and un-break him after all.
Sigh. Okay, patience is in fact running a little short. Come the $%#! on Amrock, just give us the story.
And
lo and behold!!!!
(spoilering cuz of story = huge picture size)
not yet tbh
Love you all, thanks for making the game amazing, and thanks to everyone for wanting to play and make this game super hype and nice vibes (for a mafia game) and fun
Stay tuned for rest of the flavor tbh, you were promised a story
Dvc link (was surprisingly active and fun): https://discord.gg/snmvEYVpZm
So yeah. Right, you were promised a story.
Well, SO WAS DOBBY!!!!!!
Let's just try EVERYTHING, right?
Breathe in, breathe out. It's just a Beta version or something. Dobby really doesn't know much about AI/bots... Not even what they're actually called tbh.
Maybe the issue was that it was split into several messages? Dobby was pretty sure the system had just gotten overloaded or something? Hm.
....
Still no success. Time. Patinence. There was still hope.
Dobby started to get desperate. He had banked on this to work out, and neither had time nor energy to start a new flavor-writing project. But tbh, Amrock was probably just learning or something... right? More patience. Lots of patience.
Or, like. maybe... maybe there was something else going on?
Right, what was Dobby thinking... it's a bot, probably just needed to be asked the right questions, given the right instructions, and time and space to finish it all. Initially Amrock had said he could send the story by the end of the weekend. Requiring it immediately was probably too much to ask. Apologetic etc, Dobby was wondering how he could approach Amrock differently to get the story posted without new technical difficulties.
I promise, you'll get your story, but the process leading up to it is just as important here, since it's Amrock generated after all.
Maybe this is better than the pictures, although I'll be updating both. Color coding = good.
OPEN - Preferred = Optimal weeks to host so we don't have sessions two weeks in a row (too much) or too sparse. It is technically possible to host two weeks in a row (during N/A weeks) but it's probably better not to so people don't get bored/OD or lose interest in these.
Feel free to book a date and I'll add you to it, first come first served tbh

Should be easy enough since these are weeks/months ahead of time. Maybe can be added to like the same schedule
Hytyyype! Ill edit everything into the calendar at some point soon.
Ill block at least the week before and after each date so it's AT LEAST 2 weeks between each one, otherwise it might lose the hype a bit/be overdone. Especially since there'll be a lot of walrus reveals as well.
Thats super hype, and considering you're the first one to pick a date, it's yours tbh!
Just to clarify, this isn't a "one single evening for everyone at the same night" thing or so. Also whoever wants to do it can sign up and we'll make a schedule or smth i think. Maybe every 3-4 weeks? Also whoever wants to go first, let me know! I know it takes some prepping but we're not in a hurry amirite
Okay so like
i used my amazing MS Paint skills
Pick a week, ill add you to it. Preferably not more than 2 per month. Exact date doesn't need to be fully decided (you can set your own date and time or we make a strawpoll)
Also we should probably have a ping group so people get notified if/when this is happening. Imma go ahead and ping people now just to bring attention to the calendar thingie and see if anyone wants to reserve any dates already, and
1) if you want to be added to the ping list for reveals and when things are happening/info is out, OR if you want to opt out of pings let me know. There'll be one list of names for the Discord as well (or can just ping jammers and walrus roles).
2) if/when you want to reserve a specific date/week already, let me know and ill edit the calendar (IT'S NOW IN THE OP!).

From D2 and on postcap will be lifted 2 hours before EoD.
So. Yeah, You were promised a story, and you WILL get it in due time. Amrock will provide. The process leading up to the amazing end results however, was kind of... not fully working out as planned, with a hurdle or two stalling it. There's still time to show off what Amrock created later, but I kinda want to just go through that quickly, so, let's practice some patience tbh.
Alright, with that introduction out of the way, let's see how the exchange between Dobby and Amrock continued.
Okay, yeah... As I said, there were some technical difficulties. Kind of expected considering the magnitude of what Amrock had promised to create. Nothing that should be too hard to solve.
Uhm. yeah, some more weird stuff, but hey, it's a bot. We'll get there.
Dobby concluded that the story was probably too long to send immediately, it would need some processing and stuff, even writing out a few sentences in the chat as response took a long time for Amrock. Amrock = slow, this is news.
Just kidding. He probably just needed some time. All good.
Hm.
Okay, right, let's give it some more time. See you next nightphase.
Should we try and see if we can get some kind of schedule going? First reveal in like a few weeks, probnably needs time for prep
If anyone is up for doing the first round lmk
Also I'm thinking we make a big schedule thing out of this so it's spread out a bit over time and we don't OD tbh
Also mnin said smth like a 50 song thing over a few hours and people can pop in and out, that's cool too, that's why I was thinking we shouldn't have an upper time limit other than general recommendations
Hi, I've had an idea for a long time but never got to actually shipping it.
There's a program concept in Swedish radio every summer where "famous" people get to tell a story about something, and mixed in is songs that they choose that have some kind of meaning or relevance to their story, and it usually turns out to be beautiful experiences.
I kinda wanted to try something like that on MU as well. A lot of people have sick collections of great songs, they mightve been subbed to random walri, but in that context they're usually kinda drowned out and forgotten.
The idea here is simple tbh. One person gets to control the radio and hold a "jukebox session" where they play... say 10-15-20 (?) songs, as a "show". Maybe one of these programs every couple of weeks.
Each person who does this gets to choose the format. Its your show. I'm thinking just playing a set of songs is what would be most common tbh. For each song it would be nice to have some kind of attached text. Suggestions for themes could be like
- this is my favorite song because -
- this song means a lot to me because -
-this song reminds me of X-
- I used to listen to this song during a period of my life and this brings me back
- favorite summer song
- my parents used to play this / my mom/dad's favorite song
- this song is from a movie I liked
- I've listened to this one soooo much in my life
- this song makes me happy because
- this song always makes me emotional/nostalgic
- this is a good song
- I want you guys to notice this song so I want to play it
- this got robbed in a walrus and nobody paid attention to it
- here's a song smileyface
It would be nice with a smol/longer blurb so it's something more than just a jam session. If there could be a theme for the session that's nice too but no need for anything like that.
Also, this is for everyone, not just people that sub to walri, I'd love to hear stuff that people like @juliet would play, that never sub to walri.
So yeah, would there be any interest for smth like this?
Also Yeah lengthwise it can be whatever, 20 mins, 1 hour, it depends on how much you want to share. More than an hour is okay too but keeping it not much longer than an hour is probably preferable so ppl can eb around for the whole thing

A Story About a Story
There once was a Dobby that tried to come up with flavor for a game, and he wanted it to be epic.
Writing a story yourself is exhausting though, and Dobby quickly realised that this would take way more effort than he was willing to put in, so...
He asked Amrock AI for help. (with Amrock's permission tbh)
Now, I won't bore you with the details and specifics requested for the story, and also... actually reading the story instead of about it would be way more fun!
Dobby asked for 6 parts so he could have something for flavor each night, and after a while, the exchange got to the following point:

FAQ
Are you unsure about how actions are processed or how roles interact with each other? Then read more here:
ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Actions which modify other actions are processed before the actions they modify. When actions would modify each other in a inter-dependent dependency cycle, they are processed in the following order:
Passives (e.g. Ninja, Strongman)
Empowers
Redirects
Roleblocks
Jails
Doctors
Bodyguards
Kills
Investigations
Backups
The order in which an action was submitted during the night will not impact the order in which the actions are processed.
ACTION FEEDBACK
These are the results you will get when you submit certain actions.
Non-investigative actions that do not gain anything from their actions do not get feedback of any kind.
Players will not be informed if their action was blocked or redirected. Actions with reports (e.g. Alignment Cops) will show the target they ended the Night on in the report and tell them if it failed, but not why or how, as shown below.
Investigative actions return results even if the target dies on the same night.
Actions that count as visits are counted as visits even if the actor dies on the same night.
Investigative roles (Tracker, Cop, etc.) when roleblocked:
Trackers when tracking a person that didn't visit anyone (or if they targeted a Ninja):
Watchers when watching a person that wasn't visited by anyone (or only visited by a Ninja):
Alignment Cop when investigating a town-aligned player (or a Godfather):
Watcher when watching a person that was visited by multiple people:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I submit my action?
Use the form below the game thread. If your role has a night action, the form will only be visible during night phases. It's not possible to submit actions in advance of the night phase.
What does it mean if Mafia kills are assigned?
Assigned kills means the member of the mafia team that submitted the last factional night kill target for the Night will be the one assigned to carry out the kill. Since the kill is being carried out by a specific person, the kill can be blocked or modified by other actions. Assigned kills can seen by other roles such as Trackers and Watchers. If the kill is set to mandatory and the Mafia do not submit a kill in time, then the assigned killer is chosen at random.
If assigned kills are not turned on, then the Mafia factional kill cannot be blocked, modified or seen by any actions and has no particular person assigned to do it, even if there is only one of their players left.
Where do I find example role PM's?
This thread contains example role PM's for all roles currently supported by the Modbot as well as information on the various modifiers. Here you will find the answers to a lot of questions not covered in this FAQ section.
Which roles can self-target / target themselves?
All roles have the option to go with or without the Self-targetable modifier. Watchers are typically marked as Self-targetable (and will be suggested to the host by the system). Everyone else usually does not not have this ability. This is not a guarantee that your host applied them that way in your specific game.
Which roles are not able to target the same players on consecutive Nights?
All roles have the option to go with or without the Non-consecutive modifier. Doctors, Jailkeepers, Roleblockers, Empowers and Redirects are roles that are typically marked as Non-consecutive (and will be suggested to the host by the system). Everyone else usually does not not have this restriction, including Bodyguards. This is not a guarantee that your host applied them that way in your specific game.
Note that this Non-consecutive restriction applies to what you submit. You will not be able to submit the same player the next Night even if you failed or ended up on another target in the end. You may end still up on the same player if other actions force you to violate a targeting restriction.
Will I be told be told if my action was blocked or redirected?
No. Players will not be informed if their action was blocked or redirected. Actions with reports (e.g. Alignment Cops) will show the target they ended the Night on in the report and tell them if it failed, but not why or how.
What happens if 2+ of the same Blocking roles (e.g. Jailkeepers) target each other in a dependency cycle?
In the case of a cycle of only Jailkeepers, they will block actions lower in the order than their Jail and protect each other. In the case of only Roleblockers, they will block actions lower than Roleblock in the order. This means that the players are still trackable to each other that night by Trackers and Watchers. It also means that if one of them is Mafia and happens to simultaneously be the one submitting the factional kill that night in a game with assigned mafia kills, then the kill, and any other actions lower in the order, are blocked. This same principle applies to longer loops. I.e. in a A > B > C > D > A loop, everyone is blocked.
What happens if 2+ Redirectors try to redirect each other?
Redirection actions only affect single-target actions, so there is no dependency. They will successfully redirect any single-target actions the other has, including any assigned factional kills.
What happens if 2+ Manipulatives with different action types (e.g. a Roleblocker and a Jailkeeper) target each other in a dependency cycle?
Refer to the order of operations for dependency cycles. e.g. Roleblocks process before Jailkeepers.
What happens if a power lower in the order is the first one in a line? e.g. Jailkeeper A jails Roleblocker B who roleblocks Roleblocker C?
The order only matters when the actions are inter-dependent in a complete cycle. Since Jailkeeper A's action is not being modified, their action is processed first. That makes B's Roleblock fail. If there is no other modification, then C's actions will succeed.
If an X-Shot role is blocked while using one of its shots, do they lose that shot forever?
Yes. A 1-shot Vigilante being blocked while attempting to kill someone will not have their shot refunded.
What happens if a Strongman kills someone who is protected by a Bodyguard?
Strongman ignores the Bodyguard completely and kills the original person as if there was no interference.
Can a mafia team choose not to kill anyone during a night?
The host can determine this using the Mafia Factional Kill setting. Kills can be mandatory, optional, or disabled altogether.
The default is Mandatory. If the mafia do not submit a target for their kill, then someone will be chosen at random from among the players not on their team. Hosts tend to do this in order to avoid deadlocked games where the town keeps no eliminating and the mafia refuses to submit a kill. If the game has assigned kills and they do not submi, it will randomize which member of the team is carrying out the kill.
If there is only one mafia member left in a game without assigned kills, can the mafia factional kill then be blocked and/or tracked?
No. The kill is not assigned no matter how many players are there to carry out the kill.
Can the mafia submit a kill for one of their own members?
Not using the factional kill.
If I kill someone, does their night action, if they have one, still succeed?
Yes. Killing someone doesn't prevent them from performing their night action. Refer to the order of operations. All kills happen at the end of the night, and everyone pulls the trigger simultaneously.
Can individual mafia members actions be submitted by their teammates?
No. If the mafia team want to use a role's action, then the player occupying that slot must submit the action themselves.
If a Lover is shot during the night, while the other Lover is protected that night, does the other Lover still die?
Yes. Nothing can prevent a Lover from dying of Lovesickness.
If a Bodyguard protects Lover A, while Lover B is shot during that same night, what happens?
Lovesickness is not processed as a kill, and cannot be gaurded against. Lover A dies of Lovesickness and the Bodyguard lives.
If there are any Innocent Childs in the game, are these confirmed in the thread right when the game begins?
No. Innocent Children are able to decide themselves when or if they wish to have the Mafia Host confirm their role and alignment in the thread. Note that this is exclusively a Day action and that it can take up to one minute to process the action.
What results are Alignment Cops, Full Cops and Role Cops given if they investigate a Godfather or a Miller?
Alignment Cops are told "Town" for Godfathers and "Mafia" for Millers. Full Cops are told "Vanilla Town" for Godfathers and "Mafia Goon" for Millers. Role Cops the exception: They are told "Godfather" for Godfathers and "Miller" for Millers.
Can Role Cops tell the difference between a Vanilla Town and Mafia Goon?
No. They are told "Vanilla" when investigating either of these two roles.
If I roleblock someone with a Bulletproof Vest, will that nullify the effect of the vest?
No. Bulletproof Vests are passive items that cannot be blocked.
If I roleblock Masons, Neighbors or Lovers with out of thread communication privileges, can I prevent them from talking at night?
No. Talking in a private thread is not considered an action that can be blocked.
If I roleblock a Godfather or Miller, will they still be revealed as being town-aligned to Alignment Cops and Full Cops that night?
Yes. Passive roles are not treated as actions and cannot fail.

OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES
VIEWING VOTE HISTORY
There are three ways to access the vote history for any game.
- Click on the "Vote History" button in the top right corner of the game thread:
- Click on the "View Vote History" link, which accompanies all votecounts:
- Click on Modbot in the top forum menu. This will give you a list of ongoing and completed games:
Next, simply click on "Vote History" to view all votes for that game.
Following any of the above three steps will bring you to an overview like this one:
Click on a Voter's username to view all of the votes by their slot.
Click on a Target's username to view all of the votes for their slot.
ISOLATING A PLAYER'S POSTS
If you wish to read a player's posts in isolation, simply click on "ISO" in the top right corner of one of that player's posts in the relevant thread as illustrated here:
Alternatively, you can access a player's posts in isolation by clicking on the number next to "Replies:" in the forum lobby.
Doing so will pull up a window listing the post counts for everyone who has posted in that thread. You access someone's posts in isolation by simply clicking on the number next to "Posts:" for that person.
The ISO view itself has Quote and Multi-Quote buttons inside it, which will make it very easy to quickly quote a lot of a player's posts for analysis or commentary:
MULTI-ISOLATING
If you wish to read not just one player's posts, but you want to ISO multiple players, then click the "Multi ISO" button to the left of "Game Tools" and select the players in question as shown here:
MULTI-QUOTING WHILE THREAD IS LOCKED
Note that you can multi-quote posts from even locked game threads. This is useful for when you wish to reread the game and do work during night phases.
After quoting the relevant posts, you simply open a different, opened thread and press "Go Advanced". Then add the quotes to your post by clicking the prompt below the post area as shown here:
Now, of course you can't post your work in the game thread while the thread is locked, but you can copy paste and save your work to a local file or the cloud and have it ready to post the very next day phase (if you're still alive, that is).
BOOKMARKS
Whenever you open a game thread, you are able to bookmark posts. This is for many players an important tool for keeping track of and remembering vital pieces of information, reads, claims etc.
Also, note that these bookmarks are saved to your user account, meaning that it eliminates the trouble associated with keeping notes between different computers/devices.
If you want to bookmark a post, you simply scroll to the post that you want to bookmark and press "Set Bookmark" as shown here:
This will call up 5 different colored icons (Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, and Black) on the right side of the post in question. You can click any of these icons, which will then prompt you to include a note for the post.
If you don't want to include a note, you don't have to - just leave it blank. The color coding in itself can be a valuable tool. Maybe you want to use Red bookmarks for posts that you find suspicious, Green bookmarks for posts that you find townie, Black bookmarks for posts containing claims, or whatever system you can think of that will be helpful to you.
Once this is done, you have now successfully bookmarked a post with a certain color and maybe even a note. If you wish to remove the bookmark again, click on "Unset Bookmark".
How do I access bookmarks?
There are two ways to access your bookmarks.
- Inside a game thread, you can access the bookmarks for that specific game by simply right clicking on the "Bookmark" button and opening the link.
This will bring you to a separate page that is automatically filtered to only show bookmarks from the game thread that you accessed the page from.- You can also access your bookmarks by going to Features in the site's top menu:
This will bring you to a page where no bookmarks are shown by default. However, you have several filtering options.
You can filter by Game, by Player and by Color - and all of them at once if you so wish.
Here's an example of filtering by only red bookmarks in one specific game:
If you want to be taken directly to one of your bookmarked posts, you just click the post number.
How do I quote bookmarks?
You can also multi-quote bookmarked posts by clicking the little "+" button seen above on the far right side of each bookmark.
Once you have multi-quoted all the bookmarked posts that you want to quote, you will then have to go to the game thread in which you wish to quote the bookmarked posts.
Here you have two ways of quoting the posts.
- Click on "Reply With Quote" on another post as shown here:
You will then probably want to delete the last post quoted in the reply box, but otherwise you should be good to go.- Or you can do the more smooth option and click the "Reply To Thread" button at the top and bottom of the game thread - as shown here:
By doing this you will open up a reply box containing only your multi-quoted bookmarked posts.

DJ Cummerbund - The Sound of Smash Mouth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJnK9EhiXQw
I think I'd appreciate DJC subs if it were a 4 cat walrus. The minor key thing is pretty cool though, and the "chorus" thingie at 1:15 made me kinda smile, so I'll give you that. At 2:00 it goes fully to $%#! and I'm probably not playing the song until then so if anybody is curious go ahead and click the link I dare you.

Serj Tankian - Empty Walls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGWQqRyO8gA
Oh god i had forgotten this existed. I. It's. I don't know. There's nothing about his singing that I like. It's way worse than I remembered it. I do have to say the thing where he poops out words kinda saves it a little, and the song does get stuck in my head (I don't think that's necessarily a particularly good thing but.. maybe a little? Okay it's catchy.) but yeah. the rest... Is not good sorry lol (inb4 "loldobby not good = 7,1)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42XLBmTSYtI
I think everyone already knows I'm a huge björk fan, but this album is far from my favorite tbqh, and this song is... not it, sowwy. I mean, it's still björkily björky but, kinda... boring

Her's - What Once Was
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mKX21of0sM
This is like. Very vanilla tbh. I've heard it a few times i think and like, it's not bad at all, it's just not very wow this is good, i think. Idk my writeups suck sometimes.
Score: 7,5/10
24. MyNameIsNothing 2
Asunojokei - Chimera
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsVyACY3QDw
Screamo (?) really is a hard sell for me. I think with a few listens I get a little desensitized to the eww-this-really-is-not-pleasant-to-listen-to'ness, and when he's silent I do enjoy it, I mean the instrumentals slap, no doubt about it. It'd probably be super high placed if it was instrumental (and shorter).
Score: 8,0/10
23. Ibuki Mioda
MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS - ASAHINAGU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZUUeGhOr4c
Hmm. This is a decent pop song. The tempo is great in most parts but this style of stuffsthingiesmusic really needs to be spectacular to stand out for me and this kinda doesn't tbh.
Score: 8,15/10
22. ignoramus
Rhys Lewis - Bad Timing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gls6Z1-UUCE
Uhm, I've heard this more than a million times. Once upon a time I really loved it. It's slightly annoying that I can't figure out if it's because it was played to death on radio or if it was just me including it in a few of my playlists. Either way, it's a good pop song despite having lost a lot of it's appeal to me with time, but can't really tank it (too much) for that. Good sub fren.
Score: 8,2/10

SOPHIE MSMSMSM - "PHYSICAL / B WHO I WANT 2 B"
https://soundcloud.com/boivenus/soph...who-i-want-2-b
RIP Sophie tbh. This song was subbed to visor as well by the same person () and uh. I really want to like it because it's Sophie, and sure the melody is catchy but it's just a bit too bubblegum for me even though it grows on me with more listens.
Wait. The category picture is... bubblegum. That's got to be it!
Score: 8,25/10

The Rapture - Echoes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sACfg4cSCmM
This is not super exciting to me despite everything going on, probably because of the melody in what he sings - the instrumentals are way more interesting. The segment that starts in the last 30 seconds of it is awesome though.

Manel - M'hi vaig llançar

Catalan pop, poggers! This feels kinda nice to listen to, especially the, like, 2 minutes in the middle of the song, they carry it pretty hard tbh.
Score: 8,5/10
16. Shiavetto
Black Dresses - DAMAGE SUPPRESSOR
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcVbUgCnn6Q
I've heard this band a few times before (checks - yes, was subbed to zackrus and jam sessions). I don't really recognise this song but it slappity slaps. It's very MU-core but probably more MU-core than dobbycore tbh.
Score: 8,55/10
15. Owner Of a Lonely Heart 2
Professor Kliq - Surfs Up (Eat $%#!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xhpYaWs5XQ
I have a hard time wrapping my head around this. A lot is happening, but ultimately it's some kind of VGM meets The Prodigy but also jungle and godknowswhat. I want to like it because on paper it should be pretty awesome and right up my alley, but uh. There's almost a bit too much that's squeezed into the 5 minutes for me to like, love it, but it's very solid tbh.
Score: 8,65/10

Fiona Apple - Heavy Balloon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8whTAkkBv6U
Lol. Ballsy to sub Fiona Apple, for more than one reason (I've robbed one or two songs of hers, and absolutely loved others - not to mention walrus gang seems to all be into her music).... but a song called Heavy Balloon is too perfect to not sub here, I get it. I do like it tbh. It's not the best thing I've heard, but it's great and she's cool as fuk.
Score: 8,7/10
13. Cuthalion
Ripe - Settling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGK6TMAHcCM
Hmmmmm. I want to like this. Ripe is like, a very MU jam-session'y band. The energy is great, singing is great, instruments great, everything just clean and very nice but like, all in all still missing something for me to be that wow this is amazing song.
Score: 8,9/10
12. soah
Slow Crush - Rêve
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5alurz4vBw
This is really nice to listen to. Maybe it doesn't stand out a lot but it does do (doo doo) enough for me to really enjoy it.
Score: 9,05/10
11. OTTER
Torche - Sky Trials
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoVmvK30yZg
First of all, I spent a fair few minutes just diving into the amazingness of this album cover. In fact, I played the song several times until I was done with that. It's short, but sometimes short is nice and not a meme. The melody in the singing is literally "Coldplay - The Scientist" and the singer's voice resembling Chris Martin's as well, cannot be unheard. Despite that, it slaps, it's fun, i like.
Score: 9,15/10
10. Kane #2
Fanfare Ciocarlia - Bubamara
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiBoZJnEquo
Instinctively I want to write "oh no another person that fell into the sub-horns-to-dobby trap".... but this is something completely different and unexpected. It's also very short and very hype throughout. A lot of fun. I like.
Score: 9,2/10
9. vanity.
Iceage - White Rune
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK9F29J5voQ
I'm not sure if I like the way he sings or not tbh. At first I'm like "wtf" and then I kinda... see the appeal, I think? It's imperfect or something idk how to describe it, and that is kinda intriguing tbh. The melodies it's got, instrumentation and stuff are all pretty sick as well tbh.
Score: 9,25/10
8. Kane #1
The Minute Hour - The Shoebody Bop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSZZFayo64I
The music video is a work of art and everyone should watch it. I think this is supposed to be a meme sub but joke's on you it's awesome and I love it, the second half is amazing. shoobadidoo.
Score: 9,4/10
7. nutella
TYPHOON - Masochist Ball
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw0o29JMm5s
This song is all about the lyrics for me. Almost. The melody is cool, so is the delivery, and also where the song goes tbh. I really enjoy it.
Score: 9,45/10
6. Wiggium
Dax J - Wir Leben Für Die Nacht
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKFB5Nclvp0
From the first note I'm in love tbh. The pacing is awesome. It's slightly eerie throughout, and stays interesting through it's 6 minutes tbh. UPdate: actually, i wanted to go "hey a song of this genre that im not in love with" but getting back to it, i guess i'm a simple man, i really vibe with this despite it not having anything that fully stands out (raises score) lol
Score: 9,55/10
5. MyNameIsNothing 3
nouns - dogs
I like dogs. I'm gonna judge this as if I hadn't heard about nouns yet because the talk about the new album and stuff in music channel was after I got this subbed. And this song is awesome there's no denying it and
Score: 9,6/10
4. Visorslash
Have a Nice Life - Dan and Tim, Reunited by Fate
Yeah this is a band that's been subbed a million times to walri, to me as well (A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut) but. this is different. It's like... dark. Different, unique, etc. I did some research and honestly, there's a ton of songs from them that's been played in the music channel but it's not the type of music you just listen to and fall in love with immediately I think. At least not for me. It takes a few listens to warm up to, but when I reached that point, the song was kinda stuck in my head. Not only the melody, but the way listening to it made me feel? Idk, tl:dr, it's good.
Score: 9,65/10
3. shubaka17
체리블렛 (Cherry Bullet) - 'Love So Sweet'
LMAO. Why are you doing this to me. Why do I like this. I shouldn't like anything about it. Like, nothing at all. The bubblegummy overly cute pop stuff, the jumping between english and korean (or any other language for that matter, it really manages to make every song worse just by being a concept), the onomatopoeic (i used a cool word, good job me) stuff - LUB DUB... I'm not someone that listens to happy sounding music. Like ever. I do however have to admit it feels good to listen to a song that's just... happy. Maybe don't make a habit of sending stuff like this though.
Score: 9,7/10 + 0,3 = 10,0
2. Ampharos
Maybeshewill - Not for want of trying
Fun fact, Maybeshewill (more specifically, this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEdC4PwWihQ) got second place in the first cat of my first ever walrus. Possibly robbed tbh. I never got to listening to more from them other than like, a couple of songs from that album, but maybe I should have.
This song is a $%#!ing banger. Not only that. It's an IMPORTANT piece of art. Sure, I'm a sucker for like, cool quotes sampled over awesome instrumentals. It starts off great, and then, come the sampled stuff, I'm insanely hyped, I want to like, fast forward through the song so I can hear it all at once. See what happens and be excited and !!!!!!!'y about it all at the same time. Idk. The speech makes me emotional. I did some resUrch, it's from the movie Network. It's from 46 years ago, and the words, line by line, are all accurate as hell in describing the world today as well.
It's the type of thing that everyone needs to watch, hear, reflect on, be touched by etc. I haven't watched this movie tbh, but I'm very, very intrigued, and I sure will watch it, very soon. Thanks for subbing this.
Score: 9,85/10 + 0,6 = 10,45
1. MyNameIsNothing 1
Hagop Tchaparian - Right to Riot
man this is so $%#!ing sick. This armenian stuff is like exactly the type of thing that's played at our family parties and stuff, and techno/house/whateverifying it is geeeeeenius and goes HARD. Right up my alley, hypes me up so hard. so curious to see what other stuff he's got. (dobby in the future: THIS STILL SLAPS)
