Jolkotin: /* Box hunting by Ylvis: What does the fox say? */ Switched maw-mouth to not be repetitive.

=== That first Jarvonia tour by Gloria Raynor's I will survive ===
Inspired by how hard it is to gauge how dangerous exactly it is to wander far when you have just started - thanks for the musedom, Austria!
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
kept thinking I could never go far south 'fore I levelified
but I spent so many nights
looking at all the map Unknowns
and so I packed
and ran off there just all alone

And now I'm back
from Azu' streets
talked to a bunch of weird shopkeepers
saw me tons of foreign sweets
but one thing that drives me going
it just keeps me up at night
is that one big 5k backpack that I'm dying to call ALL MINE

=== Ode to Cape of the Trailblazer by Queen's Who wants to live forever ===
There's no trail for us
There's no blaze for us
What is this cape that builds our dreams
Yet slips awaaaay from us

Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever?

There's low chance for us
This gear is optimal for us
These hills have only one sweet target
Set in the drops for us

Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever?

But touch my steps with sandwich
Touch my flowing watch with your rare drop tips
And we can loot forever
And we can walk forever*
The remains are ours today

Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever?
Who waits forever, anyway?

*) Or for approximately 640k steps.

=== I Miss The Sun by The Police's Every breath you take ===
Every move I make
Every step I take
Each record I break
Every single day
I'll make ghost goo-oo

Every breath I take
Even not awake
Every game I play
Every word I say
It's all ghost goo-ooo

I can't cross sea
No way south for me
How my poor heart aches
With every step I take

Every move I make
Every bank they break
Every saw I create
How much tries it takes
It's all ghost goo-oo

With no Pass we've been blocked - can't south migrate
I dream at night, I just see my camel's face
I look around, but it's dunes I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for Sun's embrace
I keep appeasing spirits, spirits, please

Oh can't you see
Passage through for me
From this cool dewy place?
How many steps it takes

Every move you make
Each record you break
For a quite few days
Every step you take
Is for ghost goo-oo

=== Box hunting by Ylvis: What does the fox say? ===
Wolf goes "woof", cats go "meow"
Bird goes "tweet" and dolph goes "squeeek"
Deer goes "moo", mummy's croaked
And the reindeers are just sweet

Fake ducks say "quack", driftnet goes "blub"
And Halfmaw is ow ow ow!
But there's one sound that no one knows:

What does the box say?

Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding?

What the box say?

Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow?

What the box say?

Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho?

What the box say?

Joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!
Tchoff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff!
Joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff?

What the box say?

Big wood mouth, pointy stick
Catching critters, pretty slick
Once set up, sloped uphill
You'll then be just standing still

You're catching thread
So beautiful
Like a present in disguise
But if you meet a horned horse
Will you communicate by
Mo-o-o-o-orse
Mo-o-o-o-orse
Mo-o-o-o-
How would you deal with that
"Ho-o-o-o-orse"
"Ho-o-o-o-orse"
"Ho-o-o-o-orse"?

What does the box say?

Secret of the box
Ancient mystery
Somewhere deep in the woods
I know you're hunting
What is your sound
Will we ever know
Will always be a mystery
What do you say?

You're patient but frail,
Shaking loose all that wood
What is your sound?
Will we ever know?
I want to
I want to,
I want to know!

== The Helpful Herbert Botting Mini-FAQ FYI Intro ==
The Discord server has a Helpful Herbert bot who is very helpful. It works if your '''Discord account is linked on the portal webpage''' under 'Account': https://portal.walkscape.app

Per Jan 2026, the Helpful Herbert bot supports 3 commands. To see them all, type /, scroll through any potential other bots that are less helpful to find the ones about Helpful Herbert, and you can see the commands he supports there.

The commands are used by typing them into any chat channel that Helpful Herbert is present on. Typically the commands will show response messages that are only visible to you, except in the case of flex where the point is to show off to others.

In order to interact with options, first type the command (or start of it), and then click on the suggestion. You will see the list of options it has, and you can '''click on the option name to select from a list of possible values''' instead of having to guess yourself. You cannot generally expect to just type these as words into the command, they must be magic selections from the list.

'''/flex''' allows you to show off your last used character's stats.The output of this command is printed to the channel you run the command on.

* One option: '''detailed''' - show more details.

'''/set_flair''' allows you to set little information after your name, such as your character's total steps taken.

* Two options: '''type''': xp/value, rank or level - what to show, and '''flair''': <ability>, total_xp, total_level, achievement_points or total_steps
* The command without correct values for at least flair will clear your flair setting.
* The results will be visible "in the next flair update cycle", so they are not instant.

'''/set_nick''' allows you to change your nickname on the server (the regular /nick command is disabled).

The little banners that people have for different Walkscape locations are set by admins manually, so leap at the opportunity when say Weasel asks who wants to tout their Jarvonian nature.

== Trivia missing from wiki proper ==

=== Shrimp ring ===
The shrimp shirt shows the late Shrimp Ring, and a character finding shrimp in trash and frying it: https://merch.walkscape.app/product/shrimp-hoodie/

There were a number of old rings that were later turned into trinkets, like the [[Shrimp trinket|Shrimp trinket.]] (Heron, eel, root and bat, in addition.)

The reason why shrimp and earlier also shrimp rings would show up in trash looting activities relates back to the days of very early beta. Lore has it that there was a tester who would gather a ton of shrimp, bring it to town and start cooking, and then all progress would get wiped and they would do it all over again.

Additionally, the originating artwork is documented at [[Illustrations]] and as a legacy to the epicness of shrimp, most of the current Sorgo-crafted artwork contains a hidden shrimp.

The reason the shrimp looks like it appears by magic during the shrimp preparation process by application of some kind of magic tool is more inspired by wondrous near-magical furniture construction instructions than by real historical events happening in the game.

Thanks cuddlycutlery, Afropig, Convi and Weasel for the carrying of the history!

'''/set_nick''' allows you to change your nickname on the server (the regular /nick command is disabled).

The little banners that people have for different Walkscape locations are set by admins manually, so leap at the opportunity when say Weasel asks who wants to tout their Jarvonian nature.

== Trivia missing from wiki proper ==

=== Shrimp ring ===
The shrimp shirt shows the late Shrimp Ring, and a character finding shrimp in trash and frying it: https://merch.walkscape.app/product/shrimp-hoodie/

There were a number of old rings that were later turned into trinkets, like the [[Shrimp trinket|Shrimp trinket.]] (Heron, eel, root and bat, in addition.)

The reason why shrimp and earlier also shrimp rings would show up in trash looting activities relates back to the days of very early beta. Lore has it that there was a tester who would gather a ton of shrimp, bring it to town and start cooking, and then all progress would get wiped and they would do it all over again.

Thanks cuddlycutlery, Afropig and Convi for the carrying of the history!

== List of reference names to not be translated ==

Hi, we would like to have a list of reference names to not be translated with some context provided; known so far:

* Flora Floursifter - 'Floursifter' is a reference to a WalkScape content designer and community manager, and the name should not be translated, only translitterated if applicable.
* Kake - a contributor after whom an item has been named; the name should not be translated, only translitterated if applicable.

:Reference names that can be translated, some thematic hints:
:* Pit of Pittance, Beach of Woes and Disenchanted Forest all reflect how bleak the northwest Jarvonia is. 'Disenchanted' for a person means disappointed but is also a pun on enchanted forests of fantasy stories. Pittance is literally related to tithes to the church, but also means something very meager to survive on.
