Okay, gonna need some feedback on this. Bear with me, I've tried to put a lot of thought into this while keeping it simple for every participant. I've already done most of the work.
I want to have a lot of fun with this next one, so on top of the normal roulette deal (send song, wait for results, some fun game in between) I'm going to have a creative little story going on with a big ol' board game style map I laid over a random generated fantasy world and I'll do a fun little writeup at the end of each round. Basically every participant is an adventurer - let's call it the Fellowship of the Roulettes. Final Fantasy/Dungeons & Dragons style, real basic goofy stuff. You are traveling in a new land and the participants with the highest scores will prevail. Those who don't make the cutoff points might get eaten by wolves along the way. That's how you leave this roulette - dead or alive
Along the way I'll be updating the map and that's where the board game comes into play with your score - a 7 moves you 7 spaces, etc. There are bonus panels along the way - if you send something that fits the theme and I like it, you can earn up to 3 bonus points depending on 3 criteria. If you ignore it, you'll automatically prevent yourself from scoring a 10/10, so one point handicap (I might change this, but I like the idea). When I post results, I'll also post the updated map. If your next move has you hitting a fork in the road, I'll ask you to pick which direction you want to move for the next round, so make sure to check that when you look for your score.
Your goal isn't necessarily to be #1 but rather to stay ahead of the cutoff rounds, make it to the end, and be pawns in my Roulette Fantasy. Because I am a gigantic nerd and want to do something completely ridiculous. Here's a sample pic of what I'm talking about. Obviously I'll update it throughout the game with bigger and more detailed images with where everyone is.
So the rounds, I
think, will be open, unless you land on a challenge. Would anybody like to participate in my nerdy, sexy party? 'cause I'm all in on this.
