Bolsters, please kindly allow Indiscipline and Stadler to move ahead of me. I may have a situation which will require my full attention over the next couple of months.
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

I actually thought ariich had another round to go after the one he's on but apparently not. So, to answer your question: Yes. :lol

On another note I finally got around to doing something I've wanted to do for a while: Making a spreadsheet of all roulette participation, indicating how many times everyone has joined a roulette, wins, and win rates. Anyone can view that here if they are curious, and do let me know if you find errors.

I do know that there's at least two entries here I need to combine as someone was credited under their username and a nickname, but I've forgotten who that was. :lol I'll have to go back and look for that another time. I actually collected the majority of the raw data well over a year ago, and only just now added the past year's worth of roulettes to it and formatted it all.

Interesting tidbit: The person who has played in the most roulettes is Elite, he's joined 63 of them (so far!). Runners up are jingle.boy(51), Scorpion(48), Nekov(46), and Sacul(46).

To put it in another perspective, there have been 140 roulettes thus far (including the four currently running). Taking off your own roulettes, Rich has participated in almost half of all roulettes ever at 46.3%, and Chad in more than a third of them at 37.5%. :lol

Wow. I've played in like 5-10 or something, and that goes right back to the very first ones. :lol

EDIT: Woah, ok turns out it's more than I thought. I took part in 16 back in the day apparently. And then after a looooong break I've done 4 again more recently.

Holy CRAP; I have been in 16 of these?   I'm a glutton for punishment I guess.   You have a column for "wins", you should have a column for "last place", too.  Any trophy is better than no trophy.   :)

hahaha, wow :lol

I didn't know or realise this at all. I should update my handle to reflect this, proud to have sent late in almost half the roulettes ever. It also makes 6 wins look quite sad when I've played that many!

Scorpion in that top 5 is surprising, considering he vanished about two years ago.

You know what - screw it. Put me back on the list. I just realized I'm not likely to be working overtime until I've actually finished training at my new job. Which won't be for quite some time.

Game on, mofos - and I got some fun ideas for this.

I never took you off the list, just had you on hold. You'll be up next, most likely when 425 is close to wrapping up.

Okay, gonna need some feedback on this. Bear with me, I've tried to put a lot of thought into this while keeping it simple for every participant. I've already done most of the work.

I want to have a lot of fun with this next one, so on top of the normal roulette deal (send song, wait for results, some fun game in between) I'm going to have a creative little story going on with a big ol' board game style map I laid over a random generated fantasy world and I'll do a fun little writeup at the end of each round. Basically every participant is an adventurer - let's call it the Fellowship of the Roulettes. Final Fantasy/Dungeons & Dragons style, real basic goofy stuff. You are traveling in a new land and the participants with the highest scores will prevail. Those who don't make the cutoff points might get eaten by wolves along the way. That's how you leave this roulette - dead or alive :)

Along the way I'll be updating the map and that's where the board game comes into play with your score - a 7 moves you 7 spaces, etc. There are bonus panels along the way - if you send something that fits the theme and I like it, you can earn up to 3 bonus points depending on 3 criteria. If you ignore it, you'll automatically prevent yourself from scoring a 10/10, so one point handicap (I might change this, but I like the idea). When I post results, I'll also post the updated map. If your next move has you hitting a fork in the road, I'll ask you to pick which direction you want to move for the next round, so make sure to check that when you look for your score.

Your goal isn't necessarily to be #1 but rather to stay ahead of the cutoff rounds, make it to the end, and be pawns in my Roulette Fantasy. Because I am a gigantic nerd and want to do something completely ridiculous. Here's a sample pic of what I'm talking about. Obviously I'll update it throughout the game with bigger and more detailed images with where everyone is.



So the rounds, I think, will be open, unless you land on a challenge. Would anybody like to participate in my nerdy, sexy party? 'cause I'm all in on this.
