Or having a single roulette with rotating themes, so round 1 open, round 2 rock/metal, round 3 non-rock
Where have I seen that before...
Well that idea or something like it has been used by others before you, and it's a little different to yours. As I said though, I do also like the flexibility in yours which is quite a new idea I think. To me the difference would be: with the rotation option, the non-rock rounds would be open in terms of any other style, but would have to not be rock or metal, whereas your non-rock mystery rounds are based on a specific style but are more open to interpretation. I like both options and they each have different pros and cons. I'll probably go with one or the other, but I haven't decided which yet.
Hmm, I did a bit of preliminary scouting and I'm no closer to having an idea of what to send ariich than when I began, other than just my general list of potential roulette songs and artists that I haven't sent yet. I might need that whole two months just for prep. We seem too similar in ways, liking a broad mixture of styles, somewhat rock/metal-centric but with a few other areas of interest, with a bit of a proggy and artistic flair (I suppose this describes a great deal of DTF to a certain extent, but here in a certain way I can't put my thumb on yet), yet the particular artists that hit hardest seem rather arbitrary. I might need to parcel out some time later and skim some old roulettes, because I'm lost. I guess this might be how some of my own roulette victims feel about me.
Yep absolutely, agree on all counts really. I think you and I share a lot of tastes (and I remember that from olden DTF days before you disappeared for a while - but I think even more so now) in terms of things we like, but we're not consistent in which of those things we love. I've not hit any high scores in your roulette yet, but no low scores either.
It's possible that if you look at my last, say, 3 roulettes, you may get a bit of an idea of the things I respond well to, but then again maybe not.
I might be able to get an OP up tomorrow night and give Rich's kid a chance to grow up before he starts his next roulette.
It'd run 8 weeks...10 weeks tops.
That would probably be perfect actually. I'd of course love to play in yours, and then that should be well timed for me to start once you're done.
Just send random stuff for ariich, that seems to work quite well.
Ah, carefully curate a precise list, and then just roll a die when I need to pick something. Got it.
In Ruslan's case I don't know if he even curated a list, but he's always performed best in my roulettes (including last time when he finally won, having been screwed over at the end twice) when not thinking too hard about what to send but just taking each round as it comes and sending something he's been enjoying.
