The Song Roulette Tracker Thread 3.0 - v. Betting on red just this once

[lonestar]

Saw Rich is ahead of me on the waiting list, and I bounced around his RYM a bit. I think I may have enough Japanese stuff to do a full roulette and stand a good chance of winning with him based on what he likes so far from the genre.

That'd be an interesting approach. Wouldn't necessarily work if I have any themed rounds, which I'm still undecided on.

Sure it could... Unless the themes are 'songs not in Japanese' 

I can cover most sub-genres, and can kind of tell what songs are about. There's a site that has English translations of a good deal of the Jmetal songs.

@ Bolsters..time to update the OP. 

[Crow]

btw i should probably be ready to run a roulette whenever the next slot for one opens up
it'll be a disaster, probably, but a fun one

Given our apparent incompatibility in taste, you're gonna need someone to shore up last place for you, and I'm your man.

TAC's should be finished up pretty soon at the rate he's been going.

That's what she said.

He does always say Mrs. TAC says "make it quick".

Those are the three magic words!

She knows 54 year old TAC compared to 20's something TAC.

I am in my Final Round with Results likely on Tuesday afternoon. That's 48hrs.
Whoever is next on the list should probably get their OP ready..

Crow, Ariich, Lonestar?

[Lonk]

I'm thinking of running one, but probably around the summer (End of June/early July) when I'll be able to dedicate a lot of time to it. Still not entirely sure if I will but thinking about it

In and Sent!

I guess none of them are chomping at the bit yet.      I'm more antsy to see which one is next than they are, those are three completely different states of mind to put myself into. 

[Crow]

yeah give me a few days to get my OP set up, start of the week is a bad time but i should be more free in the next few days 

probably just gonna be an open, 8-round affair, i don't wanna run anything too complicated rn

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Any eliminations or prelims?  This is gonna take some Herculean strategizing.   

[ariich]

If you're ready now Crow then very happy for you to go first (you were on the waiting list first before going on hold) and I'll go next.

[lonestar]

Cool, I'll go after Rich, April is going to be brutal for me anyways, won't be able to commit much time to it.


Count me in on Crow's, still searching for that elusive 10th victory

[425]

Does anyone have contact information for 425?  It's been a whole month since he last posted, and over a week and a half since he's even logged in.  I'm kind of worried about him.  Hopefully nothing serious. 

Hey guys, I want to apologize about this. I entered a not-so-great mental health period around the holidays, as a result of which I almost entirely stopped listening to music for the first couple of months of 2023, and I needed to set aside anything that was non-essential to life. That included posting on DTF and running my roulette.

I plan to return to the forum, but I don’t plan to finish the roulette, and I don’t think I’m going to ever run one again. I just can’t handle the volume of music and the speed at which it’s reasonable to deliver results for weeks at a time, and every time I think I can, I don’t end up being able to. I apologize to those who were hoping to be able to finish the roulette and were left hanging for several months. I’ll try to post some thoughts (though not at the level of full writeup) on the last round of submissions sometime in the next few weeks, but that unfortunately will be in the end of it.

Hope you are doing better  gotta take care of yourself first.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

That's great to hear.  I was worried based on how two in a row went for you that you might never come back again.  Good to have you back.

Hey, it's good to have you back dude and I hope you're doing better. Don't sweat it about the roulette, I totally get where you are coming from and have zero problem with you calling off the roulette. Not like I was gonna win it anyway 

[ariich]

I realise that Tomi entering his final round means I can start once I'm ready. Which is not quite yet, but should be in a week or two!

I know I wasn't playing in yours, but just to say don't worry at all, our own wellbeing is always a higher priority than roulettes. Sounds like you're doing a little better which is good to hear.

Any idea on the structure or themes (if any), or do you want to keep that a surprise?  It's fascinating how different my initial ideas of what to send TAC and Crow were compared to how they've wound up being (and not always for the better!  ).  I had no idea what to send to Tomi, but somehow that seems to have been working out so far...      I have no idea what to send you either, but maybe my list of random grab bag of possibilities has gold in it...

[TAC]

oh shit. Now I gotta start an Ariich playlist on Spotify.

It'll definitely be submissions of up to 20 minutes again, like my last two roulettes. By far the best format I've used and I'm committed to it now.

Not yet decided on whether/how to do any themes but have some ideas.

Absolutely understandable mate, no need to apologize. Believe it or not, there's more to life than song roulettes on an archaic forum of a niche progressive rock/metal band filled with some youngsters and many fogeys

oh shit. Now I gotta start an Ariich playlist on Spotify.

Same.

Oh yus

Will you be doing the same ban system via RYM? I want to start researching bands now...


Actually...in a few minutes of searching, I think I can do all Japanese bands lol...

Ariich's Accidental All Japanese Roulette!

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I don't think there is any accident to it as far as lonestar goes.
