Let me get this straight: NO ONE sent Living Colour, Abstract in the Sky (Volk's stuff) or King's X last round? I am disappoint, DTF.

And Living Colour. That was my first choice out of the gate, but he has it.

Took a while to think of something that fit all the criteria, but I'm pretty happy with what I've sent!

Nick · « **Reply #107 on:** November 21, 2011, 09:15:25 PM »

5 people have submitted so far, and of those 1 has picked their own number for 3 bonus points, 1 has picked their mirror and given a competitor 2 bonus points, 2 have knocked a point off of a competitor, and Rich has failed miserably at the whole number thing.

My song is sent!

Dr. DTVT · « **Reply #109 on:** November 21, 2011, 10:58:56 PM »

Not quite sure how I feel about the number picking thing. I'd rather win or lose on my own merits.

ariich · « **Reply #110 on:** November 22, 2011, 12:17:52 AM »

Oh yeah.

It's because the number thing was so random and has nothing to do with our submissions, I forgot about it.

EDIT: Right, follow up email sent.

It's an interesting idea, but I tend to agree with you. It taints the competition a little IMO, although no disrespect to Nick, it's his game and this is the way we play, so it's cool.

Nick · « **Reply #112 on:** November 22, 2011, 06:00:22 AM »

Almost any game you can possibly play has an element of luck to go along with the element of skill/strategy.

ariich · « **Reply #113 on:** November 22, 2011, 07:49:24 AM »

Yeah but usually there's a link between the two.

I like the idea of adding an element of random luck into the mix, some of orcus' rounds were quite cool, so I might do something similar in one of my rounds. But this round is just a normal round with PICK A RANDOM NUMBER AND GET A RANDOM NUMBER OF POINTS tacked on.

Well I generally don't see these as a competition but as a way of getting the Roulette-ee some new music.
Numbers, no numbers, whatever.

Likelihood of getting a pre-turkey update is ??

no rush...maybe arich should let more roulettes go at the same time...

that'd be nice... I missed that excitement...

wolfking · « **Reply #122 on:** November 23, 2011, 01:12:37 PM »

I'm more excited to see what everyone else has picked for Nick this round. I'm looking to widen my range of bands which incorporate good use of clean singing and growls.

YtseBitsySpider · « **Reply #123 on:** November 23, 2011, 01:58:46 PM »

I don't mind spoiling my own.
I went with Solution .45 and in my opinion one of the milder songs on that disc.
He asked for growls..but hardly any..and used in appropriate situations.
I think I got near what he asked for.

ariich · « **Reply #124 on:** November 23, 2011, 02:09:38 PM »

Yeah I'm happy to reveal what I sent but I'd rather know that all songs are actually in first!

I knew you would have went for Solution .45.

I was gonna go for something like Gravitational Lensing myself, but thought it might have been a bit too much for Nick. My option is actually pretty safe, and I'm sort of regretting it now. Not the band of choice, but the song.

Don't worry, I got it in right after I posted that.

Just got the final song and I'll try and do the write ups tonight, but for now here is how the bonus points worked out.

1. Ariich: Voted for 6, costing DTVT 1 point.
2. Perpetual Change: Voted for 5, costing Cat 1 point.
3. Ravenheart: Voted for 4, costing Ytse 1 point.
4. Ytse: Voted for 5, gaining Cat 2 points.
5. Clairvoyant Cat: Voted for 2, costing Perpetual 1 point.
6. DTVT: Voted for 6, gaining DTVT 3 points.
7. Wolf: Voted for 8, costing Jingle 1 point.
8. Jingle: Voted for 6, costing DTVT 1 point.

Wolf: 9+8+0 = 17
Mason: 8+7+1 = 16
Rapkins: 6+9+1 = 16
Brit: 4+6+0 = 10
Hair: 5+4+0 = 9
Puppet: 7+1-1 = 7
Ytse: 1+5-1 = 5
Joseph: 2+2-1 = 3

wolfking · « **Reply #133 on:** November 23, 2011, 05:34:59 PM »

Damn! 7 was the first number that came to mind, but then 8 kept creeping into my subconscious.

Don't want to intentionally cut points off myself Nick, but shouldn't my score be 16?

Using the pronoun "him" is confusing as fuck when there are 8 "him's".

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?!?

Nope, no one picked your number so you stay at 17.

Using the pronoun "him" is confusing as fuck when there are 8 "him's", and none of us are defined by a number (except me and YBS, 6 and 4 respecively).

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?!?

Um, the number is the first part of each line.

I can see how wolkfing was confused though. "Him" technically refers to himself in each case.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #138 on:** November 23, 2011, 06:24:47 PM »

I'm as confused as a lesbian in a fish market.

Because Wolf guessed 8, it wasn't his number, I lost a point? An because Rich, Mason and I guessed 6, Mason is only +1 (3-1-1)?

Damn, I totally mis-read the rules. Carry on.

wolfking · « **Reply #139 on:** November 23, 2011, 06:39:37 PM »

Wow, I'm confused as hell too, I don't think I read the rules carefully either.
