Hi guys! It's time for my second roulette.
Here's a link to the first one.
1)
Anyone is welcome to participate. Fuck invites. I'm shooting for 7 participants total. Make yourself known in this thread if you would like to play. I'm thinking 5 or 6 rounds total, so you've got to be able to commit to that.
2) Submission periods will probably be 24 or 48 hours long, so you've got to be sure to stop by DTF every day or so if you want to stay in the game.
3) I like lots of different types of music, but I'm a classic rock guy at heart. I'm also a progger and a metalhead. I don't want to shoehorn myself into a box where I don't quite fit, so I'm not going to give you a list of artists whose music I am familiar with; that tends to encourage people to suggest me songs they think I will like, which never works out well for anyone. Because I can't have people sending me stuff I'm already familiar with, you are free to send me more than one song in submissions. For example,
My first choice for this round is song A; if you're familiar with A, then use B for this round, please.
In this case, if I'm not familiar with song A, I'll take it as your submission for the round and then you're free to use B in later rounds. Basically,
don't think about what I would like, just send me music that you think is really good, and everyone will be happier. Youtube and Grooveshark and Spotify links are all fine.
4) All rounds have wager-based scoring. Everyone will start out with 50 points; during each round, each participant will wager a certain number of their points. I'll then rank each song. Players whose songs get ranked above-average (above 4th place if there are 7 players, etc.) will win their wagers, while players whose songs get ranked below-average (below 4th place with 7 players) will lose their wagers. (If there are an odd number of participants, then the one in the middle [4th place for 7 players] wins no points.) There may be opportunities for bonus points along the way too. You can specify different wagers for different songs. For example,
My first choice for this round is song A, which I'd like to wager 25 points on. If you know A, use B, but I'm only wagering 10 points on that one.
No elimination on a round-by-round basis, except that any player who runs out of points will be removed from the game immediately.
5) No round themes. No restrictions on genre or song length, with two caveats: a) a song will not be viewed as better simply because it's longer, e.g. a short song that is strong all the way through will score higher than a long song that I think tends to fluctuate in quality, and b) you are free to send in metal songs with growls, though I will probably not score them well. I'm fine with other types of harsh vocals usually but I prefer actual singing.
...And that should be it! First 7 people to post get a spot in the roulette and 50 points to start out with. I'll formally announce the first round after everyone's registered, though you can start preparing your submissions now because there will be no restrictions.
