Roulette of Champions - FINAL RESULTS, pg 15!

[Ħ]

I think I know who the mystery judge is.

(Ain't gonna reveal who I think it is though)

  Well, I'm dead wrong about who the mystery judge is.


Hmmm.
-The mystery judge is male.
-The mystery judge isn't really a fan of DT anymore, but frequents the forum.
-The mystery judge has a hard-as-nails musical taste.
-The mystery judge potentially has access to the DTF's "back door" section, as evidenced by the fact that Ariich can read his reviews as he writes them (like he could in an editable forum thread).
-The mystery judge is a gamer.

I thought it was bosk, because he fits the description perfectly...but he is still a big DT fan. So is hefdaddy and nearly all the other mods whose tastes I'm familiar with. Neither is the mystery judge a band member or a band associate (like Blob or Rich Wilson). No idea who it could be.

Seriously though. This is CLOSE. #10....all right. Let's do this. *cracks knuckles*

[Ħ]

All right. Solid submission idea for Round 2. I've gotta make it.


EDIT: Sent.

Sweet!!!!


Hey Mystery judge, that song is off their debut EP, which is a free download. The rest is a twenty minute epic which is killer, check it out!!!

RESULTS – ROUND 1 (OPEN)

Hello, I am the mystery judge. To Quote Bilbo Baggins: "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." I've been coming here for my musical fix for a long time. I'm not even much of a fan of the band anymore, but that’s not a huge deal, the band doesn't really come here either. Let’s go.

I have a ton to chose from but it will have to wait till Monday. I'm moving today and won't have internet at my new apartment until Tuesday but I'll get it sent from work.

After those results, I think I know who the second judge is. Cool stuff.

Gots to noodle on this one.  Will try to send before Rich goes nighty night.

>Radiohead
>1.5 point

Silly mystery judge. The band name was both in the tags of the track btw, so not sure how you could miss that.

I'll try to get my track out later today, hope it is received better.

[ariich]

The point regarding band and song names is actually quite valid, as gmail allows you to stream mp3s directly which is much quicker and more convenient for us, but doesn't show any of the file tags, only the file name itself.

[Elite]

I had the same problem in my roulette too, it's very annoying indeed, it just gives you a number and *maybe* a title, but it's just a hassle to download the file first, then look up the tags. I agree.

Didn't know that, will be sure to explicitly state it next time then.

Keyboards as in electronic or does piano count?

[Jaffa]

Oh god this is going to be fun to follow. 

[lateralus88]

You and your mystery judge are shitty people for that maudlin score.

[jingle.boy]

Based on those writeups, I'm feeling even more certain your thoughts are bang on chef!

I'm 90% certain I've decided on a song, will send in a few hours once I'm 100% there.

[lonestar]

It's looking so, isn't it?

[Ultimetalhead]

You and your mystery judge are shitty people for that maudlin score.

To be fair, that's the last song I would send to anyone who hasn't heard them before. I would have gone with Heaven and Weak or maybe even Gleam in Ranks.

[jingle.boy]

Just listened to some of these high scoring songs.  Goddamn Rich, you have one eclectic taste in music.  It's actually kind of surprising that TSR wasn't your #1 album of all time. 

Ok, going with my gut... for better or worse.

[Heretic]

Keyboards as in electronic or does piano count?

Wondering this as well.

[skydivingninja]

I went with electronic-sounding to be safe.

[ariich]

Piano is a form of keyboard, so as far as I'm concerned it's completely valid.

I can't 100% guarantee that my co-judge will be as reasonable and rational as me though...

Gleam in Ranks usually works for people new to them. If they're more into heavy stuff, They Aren't All Beautiful works wonders.

Judge #2 is awesome, whoever he is. I likely would've offered similarly scathing critiques.

I'm not a fan.  You don't like the stuff, fine, but those hyperbolic "critiques" for dramatic effect towards a community as tight as this one doesn't sit well with me.

It was my first Maudlin song, but whatever.

[Heretic]

Well obviously this mystery judge doesn't even have an ear for smoove jams so don't feel bad.

[Ħ]

Well obviously this mystery judge doesn't have an ear for music.

[DebraKadabra]

No, I beg to differ - it may be slightly narrow, but Mystery Judge definitely has a certain taste in music and knows what he/she likes.

[lateralus88]

>asks to discover new music
>only picks the music that comes off as the most familiar

[jingle.boy]

^ yeah, so? Lots of people have held/hold roulette's to listen to great music, not necessarily to expand their musical preferences. I got zero problems with the ratings, or the Simon Cowell like harsh-ness.

Suck it up, buttercups.

[lateralus88]

Dude I'm being all facetious and junk no need to fwap your balls in my face
