three cats in and the scorings are so. while Cat 5 was defined by a strong difference in cat interpretation and scoring between our two lovely judges, this category we found ourselves largely aligned, including the first place position...
congrats to davsto for being the highest single-round scorer of points in helris walrus history by over a full point. the competition continues to be tight, and the mobility of the list shows that everyone is very much performing at a Winning Level.

At this point I'm inclined to say I'm going to dip precipitously and continuously, COMPLETELY cratering after a decent start.
At the very least no one guessed me, right?
Right?
Not right. Of course they did, because what other monster on this site listens to nu metal. HOIST BY MY OWN PETARD.

Honestly I’m just kicking myself for not switching the last two categories for different songs, because I was considering it for quite some time.... I was seduced by Tineidae’s incredible space ambient and my deep love of nu metal, that’s my only excuse.

Both of you should check out the full album, Exo. From Blacklight Trail to Epilogue, every track is amazing, and I had a sort of minor existential crisis choosing one to submit. Tineidae is just outrageously good at space ambient. You'd think it was their usual wheelhouse, and you'd be wrong -- no other Tineidae album is space ambient or even space-themed.
If you want more stuff like that, in a very vague way, you can also check out Hilyard - Furthermore and Silent Universe - The Infinity Coordinates. Both are far heavier on the ambient and aren't as jawdroppingly amazing, but they all fit in a meditative playlist together.
Closest I can recommend in sheer quality would be In Quantum - Memory 417, which is practically an hour long audio drama with less than a dozen lines, and is absolutely THRILLING for its entire runtime, but it's very much cyberpunk, not space.

Spoiler: anyway i also accidentally created to many spoilers. amazingly

Was going to start up a week from a week depending on signups
but, I can wait until after your run if you were planning to start yours up.
I didn't mean to snipe your work.
And I don't want to overstress the Walrus population, that'd be bad for the ecosystem.
I think the format can coexist well with the current WALRUSes as I'm planning:
-Forum only No Discord
-Round over round submissions instead of front loaded

no worries shafted i think that our walruses (walrii?? hrm) can run concurrently since keely and i will probably more closely follow the format of schadd/helltris walruses and i think we will probably have different categories lol. i just dont wanna cause like walrus drama or smth LMAO

would gently advise against this unless you'd like to send a large amount of followups as the thing goes on. though, it seems to work fine when people allow revisions halfway through, i just didn't want to do it myself
