Onno's Roulette v. THE END

[Onno]

Hey everyone!

This is my first roulette, and I'm really looking forward to it! There will be 10 rounds. The participants so far are:

crazyaga
black_floyd
Elite
MoraWintersoul
Scorpion
Lolzeez
lonestar
Big Hath
Dr. DTVT
Nihil-Morari

I have decided that the maximum number of participants will be 10, so there is ONE more spots left. If you want to participate, just post that here in this thread

RULES

1. You may not send me a song that is longer than 10:00, with the exception for the last round (oh, guess what the theme for the last round will be?)
2. You are allowed to send me a song by an artist that has already been sent before in the Roulette, but not if I put that band on my Forbidden list in between rounds.
3. Scoring will be done on a 1-10 scale.
4. There will be some random side-missions/tasks thrown in rounds. I myself have some ideas what they might be, but most of them will just enter my mind sometime and will be put into the Roulette as a result of that. Yes, I am a systematically chaotic person. NUGGET
5. I have determined 10 different round themes. I have so far only assigned a theme to the first and last round; the rest of the themes will be assigned to the rounds randomly. If I would come up with more or better round themes during this Roulette, I am allowed to change themes, but you wouldn't notice anyway because I won't state the theme of a round until it starts.
6. You can send me your entry by PM. I prefer YouTube links, but you can also send a song using Spotify if you want to.
7. BANANA TERRACOTTA TERRACOTTA PIE!
8. You may not send anything that's on my Forbidden list. I am allowed to add things to that list during the Roulette. I have probably forgotten some bands, so I have the right to refuse your entry when I've forgotten to put it on my Forbidden list. Without further ado, before anything else happens, to cut a long story short, delaying no longer, here's the Forbidden list.

ROUND 1: THE ROUND EXPLICITLY STATED TO BE NOT OPEN WHICH IS ACTUALLY OPEN. BUT KEEP ON READING PLEASE.
Title says it all. Just send me a song which you expect me to like and which you like as well.

There is not a deadline yet, as I will wait for more participants first. Good luck and have fun!

[Elite]

Prepare to receive cool stuff. I think this is the first roulette where I'm played against floyd, you're going down bro 

[lonestar]

What the hell,add me. Ill send something after work.

[MoraWintersoul]

Yesyesyes!

Do we send it to your email? That is, since I have it

[Big Hath]

ok, count me in.

[Onno]

Yesyesyes!

Do we send it to your email? That is, since I have it

PM is fine

What the hell,add me. Ill send something after work.

Great, welcome aboard guys!

[Dr. DTVT]

I'm not a big fan of round themes, but I'll jump in for the sole purpose of clubbing lonestar 

[MoraWintersoul]

I have round themes in mine, but they are so open and vague and include stuff you'd want in the song you're sending anyway, I don't think anyone will have a problem with them

[Onno]

I'm not a big fan of round themes, but I'll jump in for the sole purpose of clubbing lonestar 

Ah well, you're in. Hope you enjoy it despite of the round themes

[Dr. DTVT]

It depends on the purpose of running the roulette is.  If you just want to have fun, then they are fine.  But for the purposes of discovering music I don't care for them.  And I only came to that conclusion once I ran my own roulette.  I just hate when I don't get to send some bands because I'm fitting things into themes.

I will suggest that when you add bands to the banned list, make it very clear when you do so.  Maybe have a standard, like "Any band scoring over 5 (or whatever score you want) is banned".  One more suggestion - no wager round at the end.  Almost everyone bids all their points so it just becomes whether or not people ahead of you screwed up one round despite being stronger through the entire game.

[Scorpion]

I agree with the Doc on the wagers.

Also, sent.

[Elite]

Onno, you do know Dr. DTVT is an entirely different person from Big Hath, right?

[Dr. DTVT]

He knows.  He hasn't updated the OP since I joined.  Time stamps are wonderful things 

[Onno]

Onno, you do know Dr. DTVT is an entirely different person from Big Hath, right?

Yep,

He knows.  He hasn't updated the OP since I joined.  Time stamps are wonderful things 

^That.

There will be no wager round. My round themes will also cover a lot of different genres and types of music, so I hope you'll be able to send everything you want to send. I just thought a roulette without themes would be a bit dull
Also, the final round will either be an Epic Round or another Open Round. Either way, the Epic Round will be included.

I will suggest that when you add bands to the banned list, make it very clear when you do so.  Maybe have a standard, like "Any band scoring over 5 (or whatever score you want) is banned".

There won't be a standard, but I will state all the new additions to the Forbidden list after a round.

[Nihil-Morari]

1 left, right?

For me it's a bit ofo both, but even for discovering new music I like having round themes, because you get more variety of music that way. But I know it can be annoying to try and find things within the theme, which was why I tried to make most of mine not too specific. Nick was the worst at round themes. "Send me a song by a band with three members". "Send me a song by a band with a black member". "Send me a song exactly 4:04 in length".

I agree about wagers, I don't like them. Double points in the final round is fine though, that can up the stakes a bit.

[Elite]

1 left, right?

Yes, join this one. More Dutchies is fun.

[Onno]

1 left, right?

Yep! If you want to, you're in

Don't worry, the themes will not be that specific. And yes, it's a bit of both. Of course I want to discover some new music, that's why the Forbidden list is there. But fun is even more important

[Nihil-Morari]

Yeah, I've never competed in a roulette though, but I'll do my best!

[Onno]

[Dr. DTVT]

Nick was the worst at round themes. "Send me a song by a band with three members". "Send me a song by a band with a black member". "Send me a song exactly 4:04 in length".

I have 44 songs that are exactly 4:04 in length, so I'm perfectly ok doing that round again.  Just don't go to exactly 4:05, I only have 43 of those, or worse yet 4:03,  I only have 37 at that length.

Also, sent yesterday.

[black_biff_stadler]

Mason, you cray. I'll now call you Crayson.

That one I made up. The other two were actual Nick-rounds.

Incidentally, I have 81 tracks that are 4:04 in length.

[Nihil-Morari]

Sent! ohboiohboiohboi

[Dr. DTVT]

I know...I was in that roulette as well.  But I had to find out how many songs I had of that length before once you said it.

That's pretty rich.

[Onno]

I haven't received entries from black_floyd, lolzeez and Elite yet. PM'd them since the deadline is this evening. If they send me their songs before that I'll hopefully be able to judge tonight

[black_biff_stadler]

[Onno]

Just resent it. DTF's PM system must be slightly fucked these days since this is at least the 3rd time I've seen this happen recently.
