Seven pink stars already in two rounds. If this level of quality remains consistent, there's going to be a ton of those fucking things by the end.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #701 on:** April 07, 2016, 12:44:55 AM »

Awesome!

Yea I should've thought about it longer, though in all honesty you probably would've gotten Deadly Circus Fire from me in the end anyway, I actually thought the middle section would be my downfall as I could see people feeling it's misplaced.

Since the coal stars don't hold any direct penalties to the scores I might even have done better than most of the pink star people this round

depending on how much that pearl star is worth.

Will send soon, I'm more confident about this one.

Always happy if I am up near the top in the rock/metal stakes. If I get beaten by genres I am clueless about then hey...it's gonna happen in a Bolsters roulette

Yeah, you've done well this round. You probably should grab a few more of those coal ones in the next rounds.

You coule say that my diamond star "shines" beautifully

I'm way ahead of you, I already just sent my second coal star to Bolsters!

Hope he doesn't reject it, otherwise I might have to send something that isn't coal star worthy.

if i had actually made it into the roulette i'd probably have two coal stars by now with how stiff the competition is looking

Tomislav95 · « **Reply #707 on:** April 07, 2016, 01:22:37 AM »

Pink star, cool

I'll probably send in 12h from now, won't rush it. Listening to those songs that got best stars could be good, maybe I'll like them and also to figure Bolsters' taste better (I'm still not sure about what you may like, 4 rounds in).

Tyrias · « **Reply #708 on:** April 07, 2016, 01:37:07 AM »

I have too many songs for the rest of the roulette to actually be able to send them all, so I'm doing a relisten and sending the best of those. This round is already set ins tone, though.

bl5150 · « **Reply #709 on:** April 07, 2016, 01:42:35 AM »

Just deciding which atmospheric djent song to send...........there's a first time for everything

Elite · « **Reply #710 on:** April 07, 2016, 02:45:31 AM »

Jeeeez, I'm doing terribly. Maybe I should just send some shite the next two rounds to eliminate myself

I'd rather you just stop sending shite.

Also, I've made a (hopefully) easier to read scoreboard, by adding some horizontal lines.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #712 on:** April 07, 2016, 04:53:45 AM »

Here's a bold guess at the current standings:

1. bl5150
2. Shadow Ninja 2.0
2. jingle.boy
4. Tyrias
5. Train of Naught
6. splent
6. Evermind
8. senecadawg2
9. Tomislav95
10. Elite

Bolsters · « **Reply #713 on:** April 07, 2016, 04:59:36 AM »

Not even close.

Elite · « **Reply #714 on:** April 07, 2016, 05:06:08 AM »

Me in last place has to be correct though

Unless of course a bonus star is worth more than a pink one.

Tyrias · « **Reply #715 on:** April 07, 2016, 06:03:34 AM »

Good question, when do we find out how much our stars are worth?

Elite · « **Reply #716 on:** April 07, 2016, 06:04:11 AM »

If his previous roulette was any indication, at the very end.

Correct.

You are free to speculate amongst yourselves as always, though.

Elite · « **Reply #718 on:** April 07, 2016, 06:13:32 AM »

Diamond - 90 points
Gold - 65 points
Silver - 40 points
Any bonus star - 30 points (minus 5 for every person after 5 that has received one)
Pearl - 55 points
Pink - 20 points

Coal star - 20000 points

Shadow Ninja 2.0 · « **Reply #719 on:** April 07, 2016, 06:49:15 AM »

Glad you liked the song! I guess I figured it was more violin driven than synth driven, though.

Also sent.

Aquamarine is also for electronica, so it would have qualified.

This time, you didn't even get their order right.

Man, I was hoping for at least a silver. Oh well. I'm glad you liked it.

I am not sure what I am going to send yet. I'm not sure if what I will send is going to have a bonus star or not, I am still trying to decide the direction of what I should send you. I have about 10 ideas

Bolsters · « **Reply #723 on:** April 07, 2016, 09:17:17 AM »

I'm not in a hurry, take your time.

I think my song edged out yours because it had a "star" in the title.

Tomislav95 · « **Reply #725 on:** April 07, 2016, 10:41:54 AM »

Sent.
Bolsters, you got two PMs from me because I forgot to send the song in first message

EDIT: I'm finally past <1 posts by day (I didn't write that much in first 3 years after registration)

jingle.boy · « **Reply #726 on:** April 07, 2016, 11:55:13 AM »

Totally fair assessment on mine. I'll gladly take a Pink star for that one.

Going big this time - if you'll allow it ... and trust me, you want to allow it. Ruslan and Jon would concur (and Rich I think too).

Didn't you go big in that previous round?

Sending in a few minutes, just need to decide if I want the bonus or not.

Edit: and sent. Went for some great female-fronted symphonic metal power ballad. I'm sure Chad and Brent will approve.

splent · « **Reply #728 on:** April 07, 2016, 01:56:47 PM »

Debating between two songs. GAH.

And it may end up going in another direction. We shall see...

Sent. Went in a completely different direction for this round, even what I was originally going to send.

bl5150 · « **Reply #731 on:** April 07, 2016, 08:30:21 PM »

Will send this arvo

bl5150 · « **Reply #732 on:** April 07, 2016, 10:58:09 PM »

Sacul · « **Reply #733 on:** April 07, 2016, 11:01:51 PM »

That Euzen song is excellent

Bolsters · « **Reply #734 on:** April 07, 2016, 11:05:22 PM »

I'm just waiting on Elite to send now. Also I won't be able to listen to anything until later tonight, so I will verify bonus star eligibility then and let anyone know if their song is not eligible.

Also this round will probably be delayed somewhat, as I have received a 31 minute song.
