Some rounds will be open rounds, some rounds will be themed. Every round will be named after a song I like that fits the theme title-wise (not necessarily musically).
1. The Start of Something Beautiful
2. Any Colour You Like
3. Music Box
4. A Simple Mistake
5. The Running Free
6. The Silent Man
7. Drumhead Trial
8. A Dark Design
9. Deep Peace
10. Ending Theme
Rules:
1. Do not take any of the wagers. You're really only gonna end up hurting yourself.
2. Any songs I deem "outside of my comfort zone" will get a .5 point bonus regardless of whether or not I like them, because taking risks is fun.
3. Submit songs via PM. Youtube links, bandcamp links, etc. or direct MP3 transfers are all acceptable methods of submissions.
4. Each round is out of 10. No score can exceed 10, even with the "comfort zone" bonus.
5. The Semi-Banned list is mostly artists I've heard one album from and wasn't hugely sold on them from that album. Entering an artist from that list is basically trying to really sell a band to me that I couldn't get into the first time.
6. The wishlist is bands I know of and have heard little to none from. There's no bonus or penalty for entering them, they're more there for me. Entering one might be a risk though because there's a few there I really doubt I'll like. But if we can get every artist knocked off that list by the end of the roulette, that would be great.
7. So I don't end up with like 5 songs from one artist in a single round; only the first two entries from an artist in a round will be allowed, others will be asked to re-send. If two people send the same song, the second will be asked to resend. There may be other cases where I ask people to resend, too.
8. Seriously, do not take any of the wagers. I put them there only as schmuck bait.
Wagers:
1. Any previously entered artist who scored lower than 8.0 can be re-entered, but if the second entry scores lower than the first, there will be a one-point penalty. Regardless of the score, only two entries from the same artist will be permitted.
2. Any artist on the Semi-Banned List can be entered, but if the entry scores lower than 8.0, there will be a .5 point penalty. Any artist on the semi-banned list that gets entered will be moved to the banned list.
3. There is no length limit on entries, but only the shortest song over 12 minutes will not be penalized. The next shortest song will be penalized .5 points, and all longer songs will be penalized 1 point.
