The Song Roulette Tracker Thread 3.0 - v. Betting on red just this once

[Buddyhunter1]

Forum crash tried to get in the way of this madness, but it'll take more than that to stop me - OP is up! https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=58958.0

My roulette is complete.

[Metro]

I’d like to be added to the end of the waiting list for Metro v3

[Buddyhunter1]

"Mr. President, a third Metro roulette has hit the waiting list"

[twosuitsluke]

"Prepare the sloths"

[Bolsters]

I’d like to be added to the end of the waiting list for Metro v3

Your v2 is still on the list and will start very soon though? I don't really want a trend to start where people ask to be added a second time so they don't have to wait as long, so I'll do this; you're on for the v3 so I don't forget about it, but if anyone else asks to be added between now and the end of your v2, they get put in front.

[soupytwist]

I'll have to pull myself from the list - I haven't even had time to compete in a roulette, let a lone run one.  I'd still like to run one, but only when I have the time to commit to it fully.

[lonestar]

That should make for perfect timing for mine then, I was worried I might be going later than I wanted to. This is gonna be fun...

Disappointing that we're getting more regular updates from 2 roulette's that are OVER vs 2 that are still "in process".

Quotations used loosely.

Wait, what? Buddy's and mine are updated more or less regularly, and that leaves Indi on the "in process" list.

Trying to figure out if you included Mason's as in process or throwing shade at me

Mason.  Definitely not throwing shade at you.  I just got back from vaca - did Doc's officially join his last roulette and go into hiatus?  If so, might as well scuttle it, as I think 2x in a row is poor form, and given how convoluted it was, I know I'm unlikely to return to it and try to figure out all the rules to the game again.

[ariich]

That'd be a shame if so, I enjoyed the early stages and liked the game mechanics. But totally appreciate if something came up and Doc doesn't have time for it now.

[Crow]

i mean his roulette already got moved into hiatus state which is what allowed buddy to start his, i think? 

[Buddyhunter1]

Yeah, the only mostly-inactive but still listed as active roulette right now is Indi's. He hasn't disappeared completely, but the updates are so slow that we might wanna let Metro start his if he's ready.

[Metro]

I’ve been ready for months. No rush.

[Crow]

rush is also banned from my roulette

[lonestar]

Indi is also in his second to the last round, so he's pretty close to finishing anyways if life allows him a spurt of productivity.

Even if for some reason it comes back online, I'm out.  Not wasting my time.

   Clearly wasn't at you mate, but that's funny.

Yeah, when you're running a roulette you become a bit hyper-sensitive that comments about ongoing roulettes in general might be veiled barbs at the one you're running. 

That'd be a shame if so, I enjoyed the early stages and liked the game mechanics. But totally appreciate if something came up and Doc doesn't have time for it now.

Indeed, I liked the uniqueness of the mechanic and was looking forward to seeing how it played it.  I especially like that it kind of forces people to listen to the playlist too, it's too easy to be lazy and not check anything else out. 

Indi is also in his second to the last round, so he's pretty close to finishing anyways if life allows him a spurt of productivity.

I think it might actually be the third to last round, he had been talking about doing the royal rumble again as a final round.  I should go and read that from the '20 one, I kept hearing it was a blast. 

[Bolsters]

I won't toss Indi into the hiatus pile yet, but you probably could go ahead and start if you're ready to.

Yep, this exactly.

[lonestar]

Ok, I got my OP written up, since it seems I'm rapidly moving up the list lol

Yeah although all three "live" roulettes (i.e. excluding Indi's) are early stages. That said, Metro's is going to be a quick one with only four rounds so I guess he'll be the next to finish and make a space.

plot twist all three ongoing roulettes get abandoned halfway through because 2024 is cursed to not have any roulettes finish

If this happens with mine, you win by default

[LithoJazzoSphere]

How did we have so few roulettes finish in '21 and '22?  There were a lot finished in '20, and a lot last year (even with my lengthier one occupying a spot).  Most of that was just before my time.  I know the late '22 roulettes were all slower-moving (three of which went to indefinite hiatus) because I was around then, but what happened in the first half of the year and prior one?

There just weren’t any people running them. My electronic roulette was so bad that everyone just didn’t want to play them any more.

years where i didn't run a roulette 

[TAC]

My last few roulettes weren't really planned, but more or less thrown together during down times just to give people something to do.

[ariich]

Possibly an odd dynamic of the post-pandemic period. Even though you'd think online interactions would have been well suited to it (and indeed 2020 had a decent number of roulettes), in a lot of regards the couple of years after was quite odd for a lot of people and that may have affected people's desire to do things like roulettes.

Your roulette was just a figment of everyone's imagination.
