Shadow Ninja's Homestuck roulette: obama's rap solo

[lonestar]

[TAC]

Oh shit...that did awful. 

OK, will send in a bit..

[Dr. DTVT]

I didn’t read write-ups, I just sent a band I feel is under appreciated instead of sending the ally-oop that would be Charlie Griffiths.

[King Postwhore]

I wish they had my favorite Dada album on Spotify. I wonder why that album isn't there?

[Buddyhunter1]

I seem to remember you saying different band members play on different albums, is there one that has just the stuff I like, or am I always going to be taking the bad with the good?

Yeah I dunno, repetition is a pretty key component of their style so that might be a consistent sore spot with you. Of the two albums I sent stuff from, Midnight Tangerine is a lot more song-focused, though it's also one of their least weird ones in terms of sound. It's great though!

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Hmm, getting heavily diminishing returns on the relatively harder stuff.  Or maybe The Phantom Elite covers Phantom Elite's songs poorly and you heard the wrong versions?  Anyway, time to try something that could bomb, or could soar, I'm definitely out of the running at this point.

I don't know why I keep doing that. I've even noticed it a few times, but for some reason I always type it that way.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I have to say, I have no idea why I didn't think to send First Aid Kit after sending Monica Heldal. They pretty much go hand in hand.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

First Aid Kit is cool, but this is one time where Norway beats the Swedes. 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Oh I agree, but I should have known they would be right up Shadow's alley.

[soupytwist]

I love Scandinavia in general, in fact we have a cruise booked for Norwegian Fjords in May!

OK.  3 point lead one round left - I think I'm going to play it safe?  Although (The) Phantom Elite scoring only a 5 has me a little worried about my selection.

[wolfking]

Nice!

I'm super jealous!

Ninja, my songs for this last round are in my playlist

Yea, me too! I really want to travel Norway listening exclusively to Enslaved.

Yes definitely. We've looked at those cruises before, but have never pulled the trigger.

If you score at least a 7, you cannot be beat unless someone else scores a 10 which has yet to happen in the roulette.

Honestly even if you tank it you've still got a decent shot, depending on how the other high scorers do.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I've added songs for this round to the playlist! Looking forward to another 3 or 4 

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Well I like your confidence.

Yes definitely. We've looked at those cruises before, but have never pulled the trigger.

Being from the England this isn't a massive time/money sink.  The whole cruise is only a week - 4 stops at various Flords towns/villages.  Did it about 8 years ago and the ship broke down and we missed the final two stops

I would probably feel somewhat more confident if I wasn't being hunted by Lonestar and Ariich two of the most successful roulette players on this forum!

I'll being sending this afternoon.

[lonestar]

I'm in... Way too busy at work to out serious thoughts into this one, so let's hope a combination of me striking gold and both Rich and Soupy taking a massive dump gives me the game.

[Sacul]

Sent my last 5 points entry

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

All entries but one are locked and loaded.

[Shadow Ninja 2.0]

Also, some stats now that (almost) every submission is in.



Interesting how consistent a lot of this is across the board, although overall the total length of music submitted has generally trended down as the roulette went on. Interestingly the number of songs doesn't really correlate very strongly with that, although I haven't run a linear regression yet to get a line of best fit and correlation coefficient.

The standard deviation for submission length has also stayed quite steady, excepting for round 8, which possibly indicates an equation error, or hopefully a dataset that technically includes a 0 minute submission at the moment. A little over 37 hours of music submitted in total in this roulette, which maps to about 149 hours of listening for four full listens. That obviously doesn't include listening while composing writeups or the more substantial amount of listening I've done after the round is over and I'm free to listen to my favorites as much as I want without being unfair to the others.

I'd still like to give each submission a few tags (metal/nonmetal, different subgenres, song length, American/non) to chart against the score and see what kind of intelligence we can glean, apart from the fact that I like metalcore, power metal, and simple indie songs. I'll probably end up following up on this mainly after the roulette is over and I've got all the data to sift through. I'll do the now-popular updates on stuff I've checked out further as well, so that someone other than Rich will give a shit about my stat posts.

[ariich]

I'll be sending this morning.

And yeah I love stats posts!

Yes the standard deviation oddity will be because of a zero - once you have mine it'll correct itself. Also interested to see the trends between all the different players. Has Litho sent >19 minutes every round again?

[ariich]

Sent!

[twosuitsluke]

Has Litho sent >19 minutes every round again?

I heard one round he only sent 19:57, what a jabroni.

Did you just turn into The Iron Sheik? 

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I did send one that was 19:41. 

I think three of mine were over 19.  Why send three good songs when you can send four?

Stadler's submission last round was 19:59 which is the maximum I've gotten I think.   Apart from a few over 20 minutes that I had to reject and ask to be revised.

Also everything is in now, hangman will appear whenever I get home and run the randomizer.

First time in a while that you can celebrate longevity I'd imagine...
