Katt's Roulettes & Dragons v. Final Results (finally) - thank you for playing :)

[jingle.boy]

I picked White!

[TAC]

You mean White doesn't mean Songs From The South?

[The Walrus]

Bonus points for banjos

[Stadler]

Katt has said four times in the thread DO NOT SEND PRIEST, then in PM basically said "don't go there", and yet...

I happen to agree with the "corny" descriptor - I've called them "cartoonish" here before - and make no bones about the "Metal God^TM" thing being pretty damn ridiculous.

But, Devil's Child.  The Sentinel.  Desert Plains.  Solar Angels.  Invader.   Dreamer Deceiver.     

I want to send Priest so fucking badly. 

[King Postwhore]

I have banjo songs. Lol

[TAC]

Bonus points for banjos

I have banjo songs. Lol

I'm sure you do, White Mountain boy.

[The Walrus]

I do enjoy a good banjo though. Or at least in unexpected places. Sonata Arctica's Cinderblox is my jam

Okay... if ya'll wanna send Priest, this is your round to do so, if you've already submitted you can change if you want to include them. This is your chance. I'll be fair and honest, but don't place your bets on it doing so hot because I'm admittedly already biased. I triple dog dare you to make me like Priest. 

[TAC]

K-Lox, just ,make the next round a Judas Priest Round!

Don't come my way or you'll feel a pinch and here banjo music.

I might. Depending on if they get sent this round. You trying to get in on that low score action too? 

[jingle.boy]

Edit.  Sent.  Adios 2nd place, it was nice hanging out.

[TAC]

I know the feeling...

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Sent! Ready to take back first place!

Okay, I'll change it when I get back from work, don't listen to my stuff yet.

All that banjo music seems to be affecting your writing...

[wolfking]

Sent.  I didn't send Priest.

[King Postwhore]

Hear

Hear

Hear


Oh wait, that's wrong.

[The Walrus]

I have 5 out of 11 submissions. 

[Nekov]

Come on slackers, let's get this thing rolling.

@Katt, I'm going on vacation in 3 weeks and that will complicate me sending stuff during that period. Do you have a plan of how things are going to work going forward? I would like to prepare in advance if needed

[The Walrus]

Well at the rate everyone's sending we'll still be in this round by then.

My plan is to use the bonus points in the final round's scoring. It will be added as a separate score with your song scores so it will boost your average score a bit for that round. If you're gonna be gone, just let me know when that time is almost here and we'll figure it out then.

So with respect to submissions... I'd like to get them all soon, but I posted results on Monday so I just don't want to make the people who submitted once the round ended wait 2 weeks to get results. So I'm going to start writing over the weekend... and I'll figure it out from there

[Nekov]

Sounds good

[jingle.boy]

Seems like there's some roulette fatigue going on with the player population.

Well, that's usually what happens when you have the same people in the 3/4 running roulettes.

That's a good approach, in my opinion. If people aren't sending and it's not holidays, just go ahead and keep the pace.

[King Postwhore]

As the King I demand music be played.  Plucketh thy acoustic strings and make me jolly.  Also fetchith my ale wench!

[Stadler]

And so Lord Jethro of Avalon slowly removes his gauntlet, and with a flourish and a cry of "Metal for the Gods!", casts it at the feet of his host.  Mead has been spilled, and no mistake!   

[Crow]

[Elite]

I only know Breaking the Law, and I think that's a stupid, silly song, so I definitely won't be sending Judas Priest.

[Sacul]

Seems I've got a purple theme, although I've already taken it on a previous round. Am I allowed to repeat? 

[The Walrus]

Of course! Send whatever fits.

[TAC]

If you can't send on time, don't fucking play. If you can't post results in a timely manner, don't fucking host.
(Not directed at you K-lox. Just speaking in general)

[Crow]

when's the TAC roulette v4 happenng. i already sent all my submissions for it

[jingle.boy]

From the roulette tracker OP

Words of wisdom from the former thread:

Suggestions for Organizers:  Be considerate of your participants, and those 'Up Next'.
1)  Keep the pace moving at a reasonable pace.  1 week per round seems to be the usual expectation.  Faster if you want to; slower if/when real life gets hectic - but let your participants know if that's the case.  Don't expect your participants or those on the waiting list to be too thrilled if you're consistently running weeks or months between rounds.
2)  There's no reason a complete competition should run longer than 2 months.  If does, you're probably running too many rounds, too slow, or both.  If you can't consistently commit a couple of hours a week to listen to the songs submitted, rank/score them, and write a couple of sentences on your thoughts, you're not ready to run a roulette.
3)  Before it's your turn, try to have your participants lined up and ready to go.
4)  Make it FUN!

Suggestions for Participants:
1) Be attentive.  If you can't be at DTF to follow the competition every few days and submit songs in a timely manner, you're not ready to participate in a Roulette.  Don't take 2 weeks to think of a song to submit.  Be considerate of your organizer, fellow competitors, and those on the waiting list.
2)  If/when the real world gets in the way, and you can't/won't be at DTF to check up on the competition (example - vacations), let your organizer know, and see if you can pre-submit some songs.
3)  Have FUN!

Posting here to piggy back on Tim's post, but this applies across other active roulette's.
