jingle.boy's 4th roulette: That's all she wrote folks - another happy ending

[King Postwhore]

Canadians teach their kids how to misspell, huh? That explains a lot...

No, that's my job.

No, that's my job.

To be fair, mis-spell =/= mis-type.

But they are both mis-takes.

Well, both really.

Spent the whole day from 5 AM to 11 PM refreshing this thread every thirty or so minutes. I'll go and have some sleep now to be functional tomorrow, so I guess see you guys on the other side.

Dave, in case you win, can you count how many roulettes I finished at the second place? I'm really curious about that.

Chad, have fun at Progstock (or what was it? That damn festival where IQ is performing this week). The lineup (both bands and DTFers) seems fucking awesome.

I'm out.

[Elite]

I think I lost this one

Also, ProgPower Europe is where it's at this weekend.

* - 1 point improvement
** - 2 point improvement

Dave ends up steady-eddy with nothing worse than a 6, and a couple of winning rounds to take the title.  All the pink, gold, silver platinum and any other coloured star you want, mate.  Especially since you didn't need any bonus points, and still ended a couple of points ahead of the competition.



Evermind stays true to heart, which may have cost him victory. But at least he'll sleep better at night.  Congratulations comrade, as an old boss of mine would often say to anyone in 2nd place, you're first loser .  I got a set of steak knives for you.

wolfking wusses out when the door was left open to snatch back-to-back victories.  Playing it safe gets you third.  Nobody remembers a bronze medalist. 

Lowdz probably needed a couple more rounds to overcome that Day Six fiasco - otherwise, he's got game.

Everyone else, thanks for everything (well, except for BABYMETAL and The Mars Volta).  I'm gonna miss this thread, but will revisit it once I have a chance to go thru the 50+ bands/albums that I need to.  Not for a few months though.  Gotta run back through my 2018 discoveries after ProgStock.

Otherwise....

[TAC]

Those two nines killed me.

I hear ya pal.  I've been first loser four different times, and usually because of one bad round/song/band/choice.

[jjrock88]

Good job Bolsters!

Thanks Chadster

[The Walrus]

Smack dab right in the middle. Nice. Thanks for letting me play - now get ready for my next one, it'll be a doozy

Congrats Bolsters!

[Indiscipline]

Congratulations, Bolsters!

Thanks Chad for popping my roulette cherry.




You were masculine but gentle.

That's what Mrs. TAC always tells me too. 

[TAC]

I believe she said it was gentle mesculine that you tried to date rape her with. She also called you the Canadian Cosby.

bolsters has won both my roulette and jingle's

an observation

[Stadler]

Tenth place... that's akin to a win for me!   Yay!

[Elite]

I love the 11 I received

[Lowdz]

Wow, snuck up to 4th 😱

That Day Six track killed me.

[Evermind]

Fuck.

[Bolsters]

I'm always surprised when I win one of these things, but this might be the most surprising yet.

I'm on it. Maybe not until after the weeked, but it will be done.

I'm surprised you haven't joined my roulette....

I'm surprised you haven't joined my roulette....

I've been sticking to playing in one roulette at a time for the last few months because of time constraints, and yours looked like it needed a bit more of an investment than is typical what with having both an EP round and a concept album round.

It's cool

[wolfking]

Yeah, all good, happy to at least top 3.  I still really love that Midnight Sun song, so even though I said it's a potential wuss out, I still stand by the song.

Well done to Dave.
