I feel like I kind of want to do a roulette at some point... It'd certainly motivate me to listen to more music besides stuff from bands I already listen to. The only thing that's really stopping me is that even though I'm fairly certain I understand the rules and how to go about doing it, I feel like it might end up being too complicated for me and I'll end up messing it up somehow.

it's actually very simple you just ask people to send you music then you listen to it and score it/rank it etc.
atm there are three roulettes going on already though so you'd have to go on the waitlist until one of them is in its final round

At this point, I'm about certain that I'd like to do a roulette of my own. Can I be added to the waiting list?

My roulette just wrapped up, btw, with ariich taking the crown (which exists only in our imaginations, there is no real prize).

It seems like we're again in the situation of not having many people ready to run a roulette. I'll very tentatively toss my name out there to run a roulette sometime when the next couple finish up. I'm working on a plan for a head-to-head album roulette that I think I should actually be able to manage pretty well.

Then you'll have a fucking year to get it ready then.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Sacul's is literally going to run through 2021. I'd be surprised if we get 2 ep round results by year's end

Yeah, I doubt that's coming back. And Sacul's is about to enter the last round whenever he finally finishes posting results, so there should be 1 or 2 spots open.

We'll just consider it on hiatus and open the slot. If he comes back he can continue it, if not, it won't hold anyone else back.

So given this, 425 can start whenever.

Sounds good. I'm not going to start right away; I want to figure out how I want to set this up. But I'll probably start in the next week or so.

Sounds good; I'll hold off until about that time.

Meanwhile, I'll look forward to listening to entire albums of Cyril music.

someone put that entire album into clone hero and it's

uuhh mostly not actually that fun outside of cellar because it's like a back and forth of "really fast strumming sections" and "the quiet bits where there's little/no guitar"  :lol

cellar i knew would be a good fit for the game though at least

Just posted my thread: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=55847.0.

I'm going to have to cap the number of participants because it's an album roulette, so get in quick if you're interested! I've already put down Evermind and Cyril as in.

Might start another roulette next month or early next year. It's likely going to be an unusual one - not in terms of structure but in terms of what you'll be able to send. Might limit the number of people who can participate, but that might be reassuring for me honestly :lol

Hey Bolsters... you may want to update the suggestions for hosts to limit the number of participants, or the number of submissions each participant makes - and definitely both!  Not everyone should be running roulettes with 20ish people, submitting 20+ minutes of music - and definitely not both!

Especially if it's someone's first time hosting.

I'm slow enough with single songs and moderate amounts of participants already, I definitely will not be adapting the ariich format unless I somehow get a roulette with like five participants. :lol

And that kinda shit is understandable, and courteous for the host to let people know. Ain't nobody gonna be perturbed about that.  But, when it's slow for no apparent / informed reason... that's kinda annoying.
