Shit, this ranking will be difficult.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #283 on:** July 20, 2012, 04:53:48 PM »

Shit. going over a friends house. Will look at the results when I get back.

theseoafs · « **Reply #284 on:** July 20, 2012, 05:42:56 PM »

It's ranking time. The outcome may shock you.

First, a review of the standings:

1. kingshmegland - 39
2. Nekov - 34
3. MasterShakezula - 29
4. lonestar - 27
5. WindMaster - 26
6. Elite - 19
7. jingle.boy - 17

RANKING:

7th place
Nominator: WindMaster
Song: Bonden og Kraka - The Farmer And The Crow
Artist: Tempest

Weird stuff, dude. I can't get into it.

6th place
Nominator: Elite
Song: Mercy (Duffy cover)
Artist: Triggerfinger

I have heard the original, and I'm not a big fan. This version didn't do too much for me either, though. Singer's cute, I guess.

5th place
Nominator: MasterShakezula
Song: Decades
Artist: Joy Division

Yep, nothing happened here. Completely and utterly flaccid.

4th place
Nominator: Nekov
Song: Heaven Alive
Artist: Oceansize

I liked it, but it ultimately wasn't good enough to crack the top 3.

3rd place
Nominator: kingshmegland
Song: Tightly Wound
Artist: The Pineapple Thief

To the surprise of no one, his highness captures my heart with a final sonic treat.

2nd place
Nominator: lonestar
Song: Sugarmice
Artist: Marillion

Beautiful, evocative, and thoughtful.

1st place
Nominator: jingle.boy
Song: Nice Guys Finish First
Artist: Frameshift

Congrats, jingle, you've finally cracked it.

Funky and excellent. I love the tribal feel of the chorus.

SCORING

First, the losers. WindMaster, Elite, and MasterShakezula got 7th, 6th, and 5th place respectively, meaning they unfortunately lost their bets. They bet 6, 18, and 1 points respectively, so for the three of them:

Windmaster - 26 - 6 = 20
Elite - 19 - 18 = 1
MasterShakezula - 29 - 1 = 28

Nekov, our current 2nd place holder, stays steady at:

Nekov - 34

The question is, now, how the scores of the top 3 will stack up. jingle.boy bet the house and won 1st place, giving him a grand total of

jingle.boy - 17 + 17 = 34

This mean's that jingle's tied with Nekov. Hopefully, that outcome is agreeable with him, given that he joined the roulette to "see if he can actually beat Nekov".

Next, the king bet 6 points and won, giving him

kingshmegland - 39 + 6 = 45

Now, this result is interesting for a couple reasons. First of all, Nekov bet 10 points, telling me that if he won the bet that would be enough to surpass shmeg if he chose to bet little. If Nekov had gotten 3rd place instead of 4th, he would have 44 points, which would still not be enough to surpass shmeg's number one spot.

Now, I don't know why king bet 6 points. I think he wanted to have a bit of a buffer in case jingle's or Elite's big bets worked out (though losing 6 points would have in fact put him behind both jingle and Nekov, again by one point).

But that may not have been the best choice, as lonestar bet the lot and landed in the top 3. This doubled his score, leaving him with

lonestar - 27 + 27 = 54

In the end, lonestar beat kingshmegland by 9 points; kingshmegland could only have beaten lonestar with a bet of 15 or higher.

In short, here's how points were distributed:

kingshmegland - 39 + 6 = 45
Nekov - 34 = 34
MasterShakezula - 29 - 1 = 28
lonestar - 27 + 27 = 54
WindMaster - 26 - 6 = 20
Elite - 19 - 18 = 1
jingle.boy - 17 + 17 = 34

And the final rankings:

1. lonestar - 54
2. kingshmegland - 45
3. jingle.boy - 34
3. Nekov - 34
5. MasterShakezula - 28
6. WindMaster - 20
7. Elite - 1

lonestar, your prize is in the mail.

Huh. Well, that's cool. I'm glad i didn't wager more on that song.

Well If I had to loose to a guy at least it's my bud with the big knife!

Edit. I miss read the last vote of points. I thought it was only 1 to 7. Oh well. My bad.

Booyah. Other than Nem's where I came out of the gate real strong, I seem to do better towards the end of the roulette. Glad you liked that one Ricky. Nicely run roulette. Keeping things moving is a real +.

Congrats to King (who delivered the most consistent performance), and to chef for having enough points to really make it count when he blew his load.

Scorpion · « **Reply #297 on:** July 21, 2012, 05:49:37 AM »

'Twas a fun roulette to follow, and congratulations to lonestar for the win!

Sugar Mice is awesome.

Hey, I just wanted to thank you oafs for having me on your roulette. I had a blast. I think you dug the music I sent and I hope you check out the bands catalogs.

Just be happy I didn't send Winger. Since I am an old fogie and have all their CD's!

Thanks again!

obscure · « **Reply #306 on:** July 21, 2012, 12:14:43 PM »

That's probably the lowest score in any roulette ever. Wow

What a way to get back home from a weekend away, congrats Lonestar!

theseoafs · « **Reply #312 on:** July 22, 2012, 09:59:55 PM »

Yeah, thanks a lot for participating, everybody. I heard a lot of great new music, and I've got quite a few ideas for my next time around the proverbial block. It was a lot of fun.

I think I'll wrap up this thread the only way I know how...
