Roulette of Champions - FINAL RESULTS, pg 15!
« on: December 11, 2012, 02:32:41 PM »
Come one, come all, to the Roulette of Champions!

All winners of Song Roulettes were invited to take part. Some could not handle the pressure, and declined to take part. These contestants who have chosen to compete are the hardcore elite. They will be battling for the ultimate glory as Champion of Champions.

The Contestants:
 - Gorille85
 - H
 - Heretic
 - jingle.boy
 - kari
 - kingshmegland
 - Lateralus
 - lonestar
 - Marvellous G
 - Nekov
 - obscure
 - Orcus116
 - Sigz
 - skydivingninja
 - TheVoxyn
 - Ultimetalhead
 - YtseBitsySpider
 - Zantera

The Rules:
 - The judges are me and a mystery second judge, who will remain secret for the duration of the competition. We will each score every song between 0.5 and 4, meaning a score between 1 and 8 per round.
 - Given the number of you buggers, you are only guaranteed a place in the first two rounds. The top half of the group (9 out of 18) will proceed past round 2, the rest will be eliminated.
 - Submit songs by email to dtfrouletteofchamps@gmail.com. These should ideally be mp3s, but Youtube or Grooveshark (or similar) links will also be acceptable.
 - The first round will be open, the others will be themed. Submissions should not only be good, but also fit the theme.
 - Below is a list of forbidden bands. This is mainly to cover some of the most obvious bands because we'd prefer people to be more imaginative. Technically anything not in that list is fine, as long as the song fits the theme.

Forbidden bands:
 - The Dear Hunter
 - Devin Townsend
 - Dream Theater
 - Frost
 - Metallica
 - Muse
 - Opeth
 - Pain of Salvation
 - Pink Floyd
 - Porcupine Tree
 - Rush
 - Transatlantic

One final word of note - I'm not going to be around from the 19th to the 29th December as I will be away for Christmas, so the roulette will be on hold during this time. Apart from that, I will be very much around and more active than I have been recently, so hopefully the roulette will move at a reasonable pace. Do be patient with the first couple of rounds though, there are a LOT of you!

ROUND 1 - OPEN
No theme here, just send anything you think is good, and preferably not something too obvious or well known (and absolutely nothing in the list of forbidden bands).

So that forbidden list is all that's forbidden? So, I could theoretically send stuff that I know you like (like stuff that I sent in your roulette before) and be totally fine?

You could, but that wouldn't be very imaginative, so I might not find it very exciting and therefore may not score it as highly. Also, you've no idea how much the other judge will like it. :P

I hope the mystery judge appreciates things that are not prog or metal, otherwise I'm screwed.

Anyway, I noticed that my favourite band isn't banned so I'll just send that since I have nothing else to go by (tastes show after the first round I guess).

Yeah, he declined as he's really busy.

Hmm, no particular cut off yet, as we're just getting started. If submissions are slow I will chase people though. Later rounds will have submission deadlines.

Wow. Uh....wow. No idea what to send. Rich knows all the music I've ever listened to, pretty much. As for the mystery judge...hmmm...might be too soon to speculate, but hefdaddy? Dunno. I'm gonna have to find a good song.

If your library, Rich, is up to date, then you haven't listened to this group. Sending.

Hm...it could be bosk. But he hasn't been around that much of late.

Just looking at the list, it's crazy how many DTF regulars on in this competition. I know of all the people in the contest, and am aware of maybe 75% of the type of music each listens to. This gunna be intense.


EDIT: Sent in a music group that's somewhat known on DTF, but it's not in Rich's last.fm so I'm banking on him (or the mystery judge) not knowing them.
