wavelength! [join anytime!]

[northsidegal]

i think that i would probably agree with 60s-ish? i think that it's certainly louder than it is quieter, so somewhere from 55-70. 65, maybe?

[Iconeum]

good job my dudes

[lendunistus]

/in I guess

no team preference

1 = eight and a xalxe, 2 = ermine rainfall

lendunistus joins ermine rainfall!

[gelsomina]

and the clue that your psychic, GuiltyLion, provided is:

revving a vespa engine

from research this seems to be somewhat louder than i expected it to be, and guiltylion is likely far more familiar with vespas than i am due to providing it as a clue, so if you (teammates) are also not particularly familiar i think maybe first impression +5? (70? maybe)

though i am unsure if adjusting the first impressions of others slightly based on me finding the vespa engine revving to be louder than i expected it to be is a reasonable way of determining where this should fall on the scale

[Datisi]

bump! (27 hours prior to deadline because the 24 hour mark is at 3am my time and i'm maybe going to sleep soon so that i don't forget)

[Datisi]

considering it's 7 hours to deadline and no submissions yet, i will send a pm to all non-psychic members of eight and a xalxe. furthermore, anyone can submit a guess, not just the representative.

[gelsomina]

will be around leading up to deadline, would probably submit 67 right now if left up to me but anyone else is welcome to submit whatever; upon reevaluation of my previous post (or rather mostly when remembering the time i insisted going to see fireworks live would both be okay and a good idea {it was neither} because i like the way they look) i think maybe the adjustment i should have been making was to the scale as applied to me not to the guesses of others

[gelsomina]

while i would likely be able to return slightly before the deadline, if i am unable to we may go without a submission, so i think the +/- falls on the side of me submitting now

guess: 65

[Datisi]

eight and a xalxe

has locked in

65

.

ermine rainfall

has (expired on 2021-08-02 02:10:00) to lock in a left/right guess.

silent

loud

clue:

revving a vespa engine

0 represents “silent” and 100 represents “loud". please place your guess according to whether you think "

revving a vespa engine

" is closer to 0 or closer to 100 than 65.

Menalque

is your team’s current representative.

[Farren]

I'm not sure what would be a good baseline here. Regular conversation? Or could it be something like the decibel scale?

Initial thought is left, but confidence is very low here. It doesn't help that I'm not familiar with Vespas.

[Menalque]

Pretty sure it’s gonna be right

There are a lot of scooters in Madrid and I would say they’re definitely more loud than quiet, I think that the fact that it’s “revving” specifically points to it being loud — people normally rev their engines at the lights or when pulling away and it’s definitely louder than when the scooters are just driving around normally etc

I think they were prob in the right ballpark but narrowly missed it

[Menalque]

I mean scooters are louder than cars by default, revving a car is definitely to the right of centre, therefore..?

[Farren]

I don't have much experience with scooters, so I'll defer to your expertise on this one.

Where would you put, say, "revving a Harley" vs. "revving a sedan" vs. "revving a Vespa?" on the scale, roughly?

[Datisi]

boop

[lendunistus]

oh crap I forgot

dradline is up but i’ll still do this

I assume something like “space shuttle launch” would be at or near 100 and “crowded city” at 60-65 or something

i’d say left maybe? it’s still loud but not when compared to a rocket

[Morning Tweet]

i dont know autovehicles :C

Intuitively I'd go right since I would consider everything below 50 quiet, whereas everyone above is loud. 50 would be like, talking at a normal level. And i'd rate revving an engine probably as more than 15 points above that, like if you're trying to be intentionally loud then revving an engine is a pretty good way of doing that

[Menalque]

Where would you put, say, "revving a Harley" vs. "revving a sedan" vs. "revving a Vespa?" on the scale, roughly?

harley > vespa > sedan

I think the key thing is not engine size but that the engine is mounted more outside-y than in a car where I guess there's some further sound insulation?

[Menalque]

I think there is one brand of scooters which has got like "quiet engine tech" or something but I don't think it's vespa?

I feel like we have 2 right, 1 left, and Farren's initial left lean but who isn't sure

lili is on our team too, no? so I'll wait a bit longer in case she can drop by then submit right unless there are major objections or new points to be made

[Datisi]

oh yeah should probably let you know - you cannot submit anything as the deadline has long since passed

before you ask, i haven't ended the round yet because i am lazy

[Menalque]

in the previous edition I believe that a team was allowed to submit after deadline had technically passed due to them missing it :>

in the case that that may be allowed here too,

guess: right

[Datisi]

all i remember is that one panic scramble where we had like half an hour left and the clue was a whole ass movie and i was the representative who said that i was gonna watch it but it was 30 minutes left so i ddin't

but fine, let me go check

[Datisi]

okay i started scrolling through the old run of wavelength, then i got distracted with reading a scum pt, but i'm in a good mood now so here's what i'm gonna do

considering last round i had to repeatedly yell at eight and a xalxe to input their guess, and considering that in the last run, lilith said she was being lax about deadlines (i did not find the instance of someone inputting past deadline though), i will accept the late submission from ermine rainfall

it is very likely that in the future, i will not be accepting late submissions, so try to submit stuff on time - and if your team is low on time (<24h left) and the representative is nowhere to be seen, anyone from that team can submit a guess

[Menalque]

the clue was a whole ass movie

that was when I clued the darjeeling limited, no?
