Thanks Parama.

How many rounds are usually played? Also, what is a themed round?

Themed rounds are generally like, looking for a specific style or sound, or maybe song length. There's some rounds like "dark" rounds and "happy" rounds that are more for hitting a certain emotional mood, "opener" and "closer" rounds for songs providing those sorts of feelings, "gentle" rounds and "heavy" rounds for loudness, "short song" rounds and "epic" rounds for briefer or more extensive tracks, etc, you can basically just make up your own if you want too  :lol

also i will heavily advise against such a long song length limit, 'cause even at 8 people per round, if everyone sends a huge epic song you're gonna end up with 3-4+ hours of music  :lol
10-12 tends to be a good standard for the average round with something like 50 minutes being good for the aforementioned epic round but i'll leave it up to you to decide what you wanna do, just warning you ahead of time mostly  :corn

Yeah sadly, but I still have a really good 41 minute song.

Scar, if you're curious about certain rules or how people handle certain kind of things in roulettes you can check out some of the past roulettes in the tracker thread, or some of the current ones. (mine's the best) That's what I did and I did fuck up a few things but overall I got a pretty good grasp on it.

For instance, some basic info on your musical background is something people do to make the participants familiarize them with your tastes and such, the only source we have now is the banned list which is fine, but sometimes bands on that list are just bands you know well but don't even like that much.

I think I got around 400 bands not on the banned list, I'll join. Depressing songs are a specialty of mine ;)



And like others said, you may want to re-think that song time limit.

Yep, if you really want to save time at any point during this roulette Scar you can always copy and paste write ups from previous roulettes of certain songs that will inevitably come up  :lol

I wanted to send The Mars Volta but somehow missed it on the banned list, could've sworn it wasn't on there. But nah I'm probably going with Dethklok this round.

Oh, don't you dare give me any pop songs. I hate them with a passion.

...

Banned stuff:

...


Coldplay
:neverusethis:

And what's the deal with The Winery Dogs being banned twice, are they super banned?

Even though it's not deep, that's a pretty diverse banned list.



Also regarding themed rounds, for The TAC Roulette, I had a couple of rounds of bands I wanted to dig deeper on (well, sort of.. ;D).
So for example, I see that Iron Maiden is not banned. If you wanted to get a crash course in Iron Maiden, you could have a round dedicated to them. A great way to get a nice cross section of tracks.
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

Except that for those kind of rounds, everybody in the roulette must be familiar enough with Iron Maiden, but the idea in itself is great and the roulette format forces you to listen to that kind of stuff.

Yeah, I did it for two bands in my roulette, and not everyone was totally familiar with each, but as a way to dive into a band, I'd totally recommend it.
