Elite's Roulette v. 2 - We're done; final results.

[Elite]

So, it's apparently time for my second roulette, in which people may try to get my tastes down as well as they can. I'm going to start this one in the weekend, but before I can do that I need a couple more participants. I'll be doing an in-or-out style roulette, in which the weakest link every round loses, regardless of how well he or she has done in previous rounds.

In other words, here's the deal;
- I need a total of ten participants
- The roulette will have a total of 7 rounds
- First round is open and 2 players get eliminated
- Second round is open and another 2 players get eliminated
- This leaves 6 people for the subsequent rounds and after every round, the weakest link gets eliminated
- The final round between the two people that have survived the longest will be somewhat special

Here's my past roulette: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=34217.0

In there you'll find a huge list of bands you are NOT allowed to send. I would also appreciate it if you would not send in songs by bands used in that particular roulette. Like with theseoafs's ongoing roulette, you may send multiple songs each round, in a particular order. If there's any song in there I'll know, I'll go to the next one. If you fail to send me a song I haven't heard within the time limit (which WILL be a hard time limit this time), you're out.

For further reference, here's my last.fm account, though you might need to befriend me to properly see everything. Also this is not really an accurate showcasing of my listening habits, since I listen to a lot of stuff on CD, but basically pretty much every band on there is off-limits, but if it has a very low amount of plays, you might try sending something that's on there.

The current list of participants is as follows:
- kàri (winner of my last roulette, here to defend his crown)
- WindMaster
- Lolzeez
- jingle.boy
- senecadawg2
- kingshmegland
- Nekov (going for the revenge)
- Dr. DTVT
- Onno
- ?
- Scorpion


As said, I need six more. Anyone is able to join, except people who were in my last roulette (sorry guys!) and people whose name I've never seen before on the boards (don't worry, I'll have seen you if you're a frequent poster), as long as you can send me some good stuff and as long as you can send it one time. Sign up simply by posting in this thread that you're willing to play!

UPDATE: Signing up is closed, 10 participants are here and ready to go!

Let's get it on!

[jingle.boy]

In like Flynn... you're all playing for 2nd place bitches!

[senecadawg2]

I wanna play! Though, it will be my first time participating in a roulette so it'll be interesting to see if I last past the first couple rounds.

[ReaperKK]

I had a great time in the last one so I'll be following this one

[King Postwhore]

I'll be your Huckleberry.

[Nekov]

Can I give it another shot? I was really close last time 

[King Postwhore]

Can I give it another shot? I was really close last time 

I bet you say that to all the guys.

[jingle.boy]

I'll be your Huckleberry.

[Nekov]

I bet you say that to all the guys.

You know it

[Dr. DTVT]

I'm in.

[Onno]

In!

[?]

I'm in too!

[Elite]

All of the above are in, including Nekov. Yes, you can have another shot. It's just that I would like to try this with different people, but since I need like one more, I suppose I could make an exception, especially concerning you ended up in second place. Go for your revenge!

Updated the OP with all participants. You may now use this thread to thrash talk against each other before the first round starts!

[jingle.boy]

Rich... you never said the mode of submission.  Grooveshark ok?  Spotify?  What about sending you mp3's directly... some of us have some relatively unknown shit.

[wasteland]

I'm going to follow this. Damn, I'm even putting this page in the favourite pages bar. 

[Lolzeez]

Im in too! I'm currently and the airport so I'm almost home!

[senecadawg2]

Just in time for the ass kicking you deserve. 

[Nekov]

In my defense, you changed the rules in during that last round, so it's your fault I ended up second. There, I said it

Did I? but I suppose the rules for the last round were pretty ridiculous anyway, compared to most (if not all) other roulettes. That's partly the reason why I chose to keep it simple this time, because I feel there's not really a good and honest ranking system anyway.

[Nekov]

That wacky contract/betting stuff was OK, the thing is you said there was going to be a last round after that one and you eliminated it 

[Elite]

Oh yeah, that! I think I did that mainly due to time constraints, the roulette was already going on pretty long before that contract/betting round. I aim to get this one done a little more quickly!

[Nekov]

 

[Dr. DTVT]

Do you have a list of bands sent last roulette?  I don't want to comb through pages.

[jingle.boy]

U lazy and should lose points for making our host do your research. 

It's a bunch of weird ass shit.  Only about 1/2 a dozen bands that I recognized, so I'm pretty safe.

[Dr. DTVT]

That's the host's job.  I don't go to someone else's house and make myself a drink, they should offer it to me.

[Elite]

But I'm a terrible host that doesn't offer drinks..

[kári]

Just a question, what would you say your recent musical interest are? (genre or style-wise)

[jingle.boy]

He's been post-core thrash/death metalcore.  Seriously.

BTW... sent.

See ya in round two!

[kári]

Crap

[Dr. DTVT]

Seriously, I shouldn't even have had to send the song I sent because you should have already known it.  Furthermore, anyone who doesn't know it can go drink a big can of fail.  From a top 5 album of mine, I had a hard time deciding which song to send.

[Elite]

For submissions:
- I prefer Spotify links, so I can put the songs in a playlist. These can be sent via PM.
- If for some reason your song of choice is not on Spotify, Youtube works fine too. You may also send an e-mail with an mp3-file. I think the e-mail address in my profile here should work.

ROUND 1

Send me anything, as long as it's not overly long and as long as it's one song. I'll listen to everything about 3 times and do (short) write-ups for all the songs. The two players that send me the songs I'm least excited about will be eliminated. Please get your songs in before Sunday 23:00 GMT (17:00 EST), I'll listen to them starting on Monday and get the results in as soon as I can.

Well, if you'd finish that Top 50 list of yours you putz, maybe we'd know which band/album you were talking about.

:bitchslap:

Work less; update list more.

[Dr. DTVT]

This band is too well known for my unknown lists.  The omission of this band (and the one I want to send next round) in his banned list is really glaring.  Like a Klan member in Harlem obvious.

[jingle.boy]

Well, finish your list anyway.

[Elite]

For clarification, I do actually own a CD of the band you sent me. I bought it years ago, but never really properly listened to it and I have never checked them out beyond that. I have therefore never heard the song you sent me, so I'll listen to it.
