Shouldn't King and Puppies be technically tied for third?

Roulette hosting is apparent not for the mathematically challenged.

You'd think taking two fucking weeks per round, that at least the math would be right!

Stadler · « **Reply #1121 on:** January 28, 2019, 07:50:59 PM »

So is a white space a themed space or just do I send three songs I like a lot, and hope you'll like?

No theme. No chance for bonus points.

Hey you giggling fartknockers, the math IS right and I had to wait a week to get all the songs in the first place! And that is valid numbering, those 2 are tied so there is no 3rd place until someone budges. Fuckers.

Stads, TAC is right, no theme. Just send 3 songs you think I'll like a whole bunch, or do whatever you want. (I have ideas for what I want to change to make this more streamlined in the future but I have so much music it'll be a long time before then...)

Gee, I must say, no one has ever called me a "giggling fartknocker" before!

My old man always called us kids fartknockers growing up. Still does, in fact.

It should go 1 2 3 3 5. King and Pup are both in third place and then you skip to fifth for Stadler since there's four people ahead of him.

Nope, 'cause there are various ways to rank ties

in this case I'm going with the modified competition ranking:

So close to the 8th place.

The Burning of Rome a 7.7, wow, okay. Thoughy I was pinpointing your tastes but looks like I'm actually way off. Oh well, might be time for some growls.

Let not a 7.7 deceive you - the competition is just mighty stiff. Definitely not a bad song, but I wonder if Virgin Steele is my kind of metal. I mean, I actively dislike Judas Priest, so... taste!

Does not compute. For the sake of argument/discussion/understanding/curiosity/shitsNgiggles (aka shiggles), which Judas Priest albums have you heard?

Screaming For Vengeance and Firepower, but I don't think either are very good. The only hit I can stand is You've Got Another Thing Comin', but I usually prefer Priest covers to the originals (Death's Painkiller or Stratovarius's Bloodstone etc.). I don't like Halford's voice either. Ralf Scheepers is a better Rob Halford than Rob Halford. Fight me.

Don't send me Judas Priest, basically

Vengeance and Firepower isn't a great barometer of everything Judas Priest is capable of. I think you may like their earlier albums, Stained Class, Sad Wings of Destiny, and Sin After Sin. Also Painkiller is a great album too.

Although I was considering it. He also told me not to send him Moonsorrow ever again, but then he loved that last Moonsorrow track I sent....

We did a power metal round in Sacul's roulette just to annoy him, I don't see why we couldn't do a Judas Priest one here

Very nice on the scores for the Adagio (underrated band!) song and the Green Carnation (wait what? he didn't send LODDOD - no they have other stellar stuff too) song. Glad you liked them!

Super pretentious and maudlin prog. Really that whole sound is annoying to me. Road Salt 1 was way better than TPE but still sounded kinda... full of itself.

Please god don't send Priest. I've tried. They're so corny.

I think Road Salt (both 1 & 2) are unique albums in the sense that nothing else sounds quite like them, but to say that they're better than TPE... ehh. no.

The tavern and it's customers have taken a toll in the Wizard's mind. He knows his music is powerful yet it failed to bring light into the eyes of the strangers surrounding him, their gaze lost in some abyss too deep to be reached by his melodies. How will he bring down the Dark Lord and his angels if he can not even light a spark in people's hearts? Dark thoughts plague him as he ventures into Kelhosia and it's mountains. The chill runs deep into his bones as he walks the path alone, surrounded by ever-growing shadows...
