Splent's Controversial Roulette v.1.0.11 - R10 RESULTS!! FINAL ROUND COMMENCING

[Elite]

Have you ever heard Verdi's Requiem?





I'm actually performing that next Wednesday. Haven't had any other music in my head for about a week

I'll send something (else) soon. Probably tomorrow.

[425]

@ those planing their Epics and EPs already ... you sure are getting ahead of yourselves.

I know! I'm prepping all my best stuff to throw out in the early rounds in hopes of making it that far. Then I'll see what happens with the epics and EPs when and if I get there.

[Crow]

strategically speaking, unless splent doesn't factor bonus points in until the end, it's optimal to get all your bonus points in the first four rounds (and probably specifically the first three, since the fourth is shorto songomatic round )

 Yeah, send something else, that is obviously banned. I have also sung it.

[splent]

Still waiting on 4 (One has to resubmit... Not even the first round yet and I have a double submission )

[Crow]

it's round 1 and people are racing to fill in the holes of your banned list

[King Postwhore]

Sounds kinky to me.

[TAC]

Apparently that hole is only big enough for one!

[King Postwhore]

Well Splent is a roulette Virgin when running one.

[425]

What's funny is I had a lot of obvious holes in my banned list as well, but nobody bothered to fill most of those until the EP round.

Obvious to all except me. Seriously. None of the bands I've had to reject yet because of me knowing the band. There are a couple where I know the band but I'm not familiar enough with their catalog to ban them or haven't heard anything in ages and forgot everything.

Seriously, there are bands on there that are obvious and you'll be like "I can't believe this band isn't on your list" and believe it. I haven't heard anything in ages. Haven't had time, energy, or money to invest in a lot of new music, which is why I'm PUMPED for this. You guys are going to have fun.

Kind of surprised me nobody sent Ayreon during it

Btw, I hope I cockblocked Scorpion

[Crow]

i actually don't intend to fill most of the obvious holes since i wanna send parama artists that parama would send, most of which nobody else tends to go for 

[Bolsters]

Does the epic round have a minimum song length, and if so what is it?

[lonestar]

Sent to your FB messenger.

[splent]

Does the epic round have a minimum song length, and if so what is it?

I don't usually consider anything an epic unless it's at least around 10 minutes long. I know epics that are shorter, though, so I won't make there be a minimum.

[splent]

Just waiting on one more to send then I can get started!!

[King Postwhore]

Have you sampled any yet or holding off to hear them all at once?

Trying to hold off. But it's getting tough. I may listen to what I have on the way home today though.

[Elite]

Sent just now!

[splent]

All in!!!

Now. We are going to play a game. 

Instead of doing the blurred thing because I don't have a program that does that at this time (and it takes too long to do in paint and upload to photobucket) let's play a game of hangman. I guess I'll just do first come first serve for letters at this point. If I get two letters in a row I'm only going to take the first post. Numbers are also guessable, since there are a lot of songs with numbers in the title (I have two this round). Also to let more people play, please wait 3 turns before guessing again.

NOTE: Please don't guess songs outright; however, if you know the song you can just guess the letter and wait. This is just a fun thing to do while I do listens and writeups, and by the time the game is over, I'll probably be ready for writeups .

OK I'm on my way home now, so it's going to be a bit before I submit the next round.

I'm sure this was a fantastic ploy to just get everone to name the entire alphabet in order.


B

[Crow]

more because all the vowels should be guessed first since they're all pretty common letters 

also, e

[splent]

 Maybe I should reiterate.... Or restate... Ok. So when I post the list, I'll only take the first letter guessed. Then I post that, and you guess again...  I've had like six letters guessed already, and if I do this, the game will be over in a matter of minutes. So this is just a way for me to spread it out so that I can at least get a listen or two in before the songs are known.

 So, for example, I will take TAC's Guess  once I get home

[Elite]

That's what I meant; it would take only three people to name the entire alphabet in 5 minutes

[Crow]

it's kinda silly to not let people guess the entire song then if the pace of the game is going to be so slow

[Elite]

The third one is 'Untouchable Part 1' by Anathema.

(or part 2, but it would be more logical to send part 1, since it's a better track)

You're welcome

[TAC]

The third one is 'Untouchable Part 1' by Anathema.

Awesome tune. Seneca sent it to me in my roulette. Took a chance and it paid off for him.

[splent]

 Well, I might change my mind. This is the first time I've done this, give me a break. Cut me some slack.  Let me do round one this way, and I can make adjustments for round two.

[425]

I can easily see this round being a sort of "greatest hits" of DTF favorites. It's the first round, there are a lot of contestants, a lot of holes in the banned list, and everyone wants to send one of those really good, well-recognized artists before they're all banned.

Except Parama. Parama probably sent some paramacore.

[King Postwhore]

Easy fella.  This is about fun.
