Yeah my rounds won't be as fast as katt's but I'm probably only taking 8 people max and the elimination rule might speed up the pace even more so it'll balance out  :corn

Yeah, I'd personally do it in summer when I'm in vacations so I have time for the albums, and an elimination format would make things smoother - I've noticed I end up a little burnt on the last rounds of the roulettes I've hosted, so that format feels appealing now.

I see now that eliminations are a good thing. Helps motivate people to send their best for a given round, and cuts off those who unfortunately clearly won't make it to the top.

And my rounds are only fast because I get to listen to music at work, and live alone, so it's basically music all day every day  :lol  :metal

That said... this round does have some surprises...

I'd be the same way - would need several weeks per round.  Unless I only had 2 participants, I suppose. :) So mine will be a song roulette.  Not sure about themes yet, but I have time still to decide.

I've already picked out about 5 songs for yours, assuming I make it past any potential eliminations.

I don't like pure elimination-based roulettes, where you eliminate the worst entry every round without taking into account any previous scores. I can understand cutting people here and there at some point in the roulette, but to be eliminated because of one misstep is disappointing for me as a participant. Elimination rounds in the beginning are fine by me (when you want to get 10 participants but there are 17 instead and you have to pick somehow), but otherwise I'm trying to avoid elimination-in-every-round based roulettes.

If I were to host another roulette, I would go with the song roulette again. Album roulette seems like too much work to be honest, and as I like to give at least five spins to every entry, it would be impossible for me to keep a good pace with album roulette. Props to everyone who is doing it though, I appreciate the effort you put into this.

My last elimination roulette was a weird anomaly because evermind somehow made it all the way to the final round but I will be sure that doesn't happen again :neverusethis:

No eliminations for mine, but I don't know if there will be themes yet.  I might do a mix of themed and open. I think we still have a couple months to go though.

I agree with this. My eliminations would be more like POA's or Sacul's roulettes (the only others I've participated in) where they eliminate after a few rounds, or like this one where there were 14 - 14! - albums in the first round  :lol Album style is a ton of work but I LOVE it. Song roulettes are agonizing for me. I already have a problem liking the tracks that most people seem to not like, so trying to pick a good song takes me hours. But it's really fun reading the responses.  :biggrin:

? You want me to have eliminations?  I can make an exception and eliminate you, if that's what you really want. :)

In the event that bosk bans me for ranting about shopping carts  :lol here are your snippets.

1. It's a damn shame that the only thing holding this back is the atrocious quality of the synth patches...

2. Yeah, they're kind of aping (blank), but they do it so well I don't mind.

3. This is a weird album and I don't know what to say about it yet.

4. It's almost cheating to send this one. It's not perfect but damn is it good.

5. Not sure if this is for me, but maybe the goth kids on South Park would like it. :)

6. :2metal: :neverusethis: :hefdaddy

7. This is par for the course of your submissions, unfortunately it's not blowing my mind! It's pretty good, though, and that's good enough for me.

8. Great lyrics, great playing. Kind of embarrassed I've ignored this for so long.

9. Never heard of this artist before but this is cool. Nice voice, nice atmosphere. Kind of safe, but a damn fine album.

10. Taking simple ideas and building on them for as long as it requires is the key to my musical heart. Very, very cool album.

How so? If par for the course is not blowing his mind, it can't be you because you have the highest score. :).

Not sure what mine is. Definitely not 5, 9, or 10. Probably not 3 either.  Probably not 8 either because I don't think "great lyrics" would fit. 

So 7 is a good possibility.  I'd be happy with 6 though. :)

I'll wager 1 or 9 for me.  Probably 9 - since you're specifically referencing an "artist" and not a band.  I'd guess Knopfler is either 4 or 8... the latter could also be The Cure (which could also be 7).  6 is likely Secret Sphere or Shadow Gallery.

Basically, I have no fucking clue.

I chose my words very carefully as to not give away the artist in question, so when I say 'artist' it could mean 'guy' 'gal' 'band' etc.  :hat

Lethean, I'm going to give you a hint: yours is not 7. :)

 :metal  Assuming I'm right about the ones I don't think are mine, the other options aren't bad.  #1 I likely wouldn't have noticed, so if it does have bad patches, I guess it hasn't been an issue for me. :)
