The only way I'll be disappointed is if my song gets a high score but I still end up at the bottom 'cause of you fuckers all using your perks.

Something worth clarifying about the ranking swap perk: if a participant uses one and they were already ranked #1, they won't get any additional points, but if #2 also uses the ranking swap perk, #1's perk will cancel out #2's and they'll both stay at their original rankings. Will this come up in this round? We'll see

This also means that theoretically, if everyone remaining all used a ranking swap perk in the same round, nothing would happen.

It's your roulette, and you make the rules, but perhaps a "perk" of finishing first is that you don't get bumped down? That if #2 guy uses it, there ends up being a Tie for the first place points?

Alternatively, cap the number of spots a person can drop? So that if 8 people in a row use the ranking improvement, the guy finishing ahead of that list doesn't drop 8 places simply because he chose not to (or already had used) his ranking improvement.

Perks are cool; fairness is cooler. It'd be hard to swallow if someone was in the position of giving the 3rd best song, but getting 10th place points. Especially since anyone in the bottom half would be foolish NOT to use one of the perks this round, since elimination is looming.

I think a cap to how many spots someone can drop is fair. I'll keep that in mind if the situation ever arises, but I don't think that'd be a problem in this round, with how things are starting to shape up.

I'm absolutely jockeying just to stay in. I enter every roulette with the idea that I am going to be that guy running for the train and just slipping in as the doors close, but I want to be that guy ON the train, not standing on the platform watching the train lave the station!

And those are some reptilian fingers holding that violin.

I'm for expanding minds man.

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #284 on:** June 27, 2019, 01:25:34 PM »

Looking to get results up sometime this weekend. A day before I'll reveal who used perks, and how everyone's submission compares to their submission from round 1 (this doesn't affect scores at all, it's just meant to give more perspective on how much I liked the songs, since each round is essentially judged in a vacuum).

As a whole this round was a lot weaker than the first, so I'm expecting the majority of the contestant rankings to have round 1 on top.

The Walrus · « **Reply #285 on:** June 27, 2019, 01:27:42 PM »

Mine can't possibly be worse than last round, so I'm about the only one not sweating it.

Crow · « **Reply #287 on:** June 27, 2019, 01:32:13 PM »

Mine is maybe slightly above the last one I sent in my mind but they're both very very good. Last place this round

I got a 1 last time, so watch me get a 1 again, get a whopping 2 points, and still get in last place!

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #290 on:** June 27, 2019, 03:47:47 PM »

For the few of you who haven't used a perk yet this round and still want to, make sure you do it today, as I'll likely post the pre-results tomorrow at which point you'll be locked out from activating one.

Man, I just can't get over the cover art for this one. It's so bad yet so great. Are these guys like, the Manowar of black metal?

King Postwhore · « **Reply #296 on:** June 28, 2019, 03:16:20 PM »

The "Venom" of death Metal.

So wait, what do you mean by contestant rankings? Are these the standings after round 2?

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #300 on:** June 28, 2019, 03:44:02 PM »

Nope. This doesn't affect / reflect scores at all - this is just me ranking all the songs you've submitted thus far among themselves. It's meant to be A) a total tease and B) a more clear reflection of which of your songs I liked the best, since each round is essentially judged in a vaccum.

The Walrus · « **Reply #301 on:** June 28, 2019, 03:54:46 PM »

I really like that, actually.

Same... cool idea. It means nothing, as (for me) despite sending a better song than Mystery, I could actually still rank/score lower in Round 2.

None-the-less, glad you liked it.

TAC · « **Reply #303 on:** June 28, 2019, 04:06:48 PM »

I think Buddy liked everyone's Round 2 song over their Round 1 song.

EDIT: Now that I think I understand...Buddy actually only liked 3 people's Round 2 songs more than their Round 1 songs..

Tomislav95 · « **Reply #304 on:** June 28, 2019, 04:32:20 PM »

I'm not surprised you liked Respire more than Harakiri (I do too) but that doesn't mean I won't be getting decent score. However, I don't think I will

Crow · « **Reply #305 on:** June 28, 2019, 04:36:34 PM »

considering how high i ranked last round + you saying this round was weaker i cannot be surprised you liked my song less, but that doesn't mean much

(LAST PLACE)

I haven’t actually seen this cover in forever. The one for Battles In The North is also pretty silly.

TAC · « **Reply #308 on:** June 28, 2019, 06:13:05 PM »

Oh, OK. So the bolded songs are the current round. Looks like I bombed...

I should've went with my first choice, but I changed songs at the last minute after checking the top 2 songs of Round 1.

It was briefly a thing about 4-5 years ago actually, I remember several people doing it in their roulettes. I liked it too and was never sure why use of it died out.

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #311 on:** June 28, 2019, 09:58:24 PM »

I've been doing it since my second roulette in 2015. Not sure if I was the first or not. It's less important if you're just using a regular number-based score for each song.
