ariich’s roulette 5.0 – The End (again (the actual end this time (really)))

[jingle.boy]

Also let me just say that I find it hilarious that I'm in with The Reticent and Tim is eliminated.

I love that you're channelling your inner jingle - win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat.

[Elite]

We declared it in the thread already but Elite is my teammate. Elite, send me some albums djude!

Are you sure?

My track-record in ariich's roulettes is dubious at best

[jingle.boy]

Tim/Stads... wanna team up?

You were a semi finalist in my first album roulette, but yeah your record hasn't been quite so strong since. This was a much more interesting submission this time which only just missed out, but I'll definitely still be checking the album out.

[ariich]

Tim/Stads... wanna team up?

If anybody wants three sidekicks, I won't stop that. I guess that'd make you Robin, Nightwing and... Batgirl?

[Evermind]

So now that I'm on my own for the first five rounds... Lucas, do you want to win or possibly lose this with me?

[FlyingBIZKIT]

So now that I'm on my own for the first five rounds... Lucas, do you want to win or possibly lose this with me?

Yes I would love to.

[Evermind]

I mean... sure, let's do it, why the hell not.

I'll shoot you a PM on Tuesday.

Sacul, if you also want in, you're welcome. Let's do a roulette threesome I guess.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

Let's do a threesome I guess.

Wouldn’t be the first time

[Evermind]

Damn I'm actually excited as hell for this with the sidekick rule. I hope Sacul will also say yes. It's going to be awesome.

[FlyingBIZKIT]

My track record in roulettes is on par with dogshit so I’m not sure how much help I’ll be

[Evermind]

I'm sure we'll nail it, man.

F-course! I’ll send you a PM

If someone else wants to join the Groove Train, feel free to join! We can make it like a team battle

[Crow]

I'm picking Parama as my sidekick

[Elite]

Parama is gone though

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I'm picking Parama as my sidekick

I'm glad you and Parama finally met. You guys have tons in common 

[Sacul]

Damn I'm actually excited as hell for this with the sidekick rule. I hope Sacul will also say yes. It's going to be awesome.

Well damn why not

[Evermind]

Okay so I'll send you both a PM on Tuesday, let's do this

[ariich]

Awesome, that's 4 out of 8 possible sidekicks signed up already. OP updated accordingly.

EDIT: I really hope at least some partnerships make it past round 5 because I think collaborate concept albums could be really cool. In fact, I'll say now that even partnerships that don't make it past round 5, do feel free to make a concept album anyway and I'll still listen and rate!

EDIT 2: Actually, if people would like, I'd be very happy to swap rounds so that round 5 is concept album and the final is greatest hits, so that everyone has the chance to collaborate and create a concept album? Thoughts?

[Crow]

makes it way less climactic at the end, tbh

[Luoto]

Everyone having a sidekick isn't guaranteed, and I prefer the current round setup overall.

[The Walrus]

I agree with Luoto, also I suck at concept albums and would like to try to get to greatest hits before I fail 

[Crow]

yeah i have zero interest in getting a sidekick tbh. i want full creative control, i've been able to make some pretty good stuff in the past that way 

[ariich]

I didn't mean to imply that everyone would have to collaborate or have a sidekick, only that those who do would all get the chance for a concept album. But yeah fair enough, I agree the current round structure is better as the big effort goes into the very final round. I'll keep it as it is.

[Nekov]

Awe man.  I was hoping give you 5 albums.  Rich, still check that album out.  Thanks for having me.

You can be my robin if you'd like. I remember you doing pretty well on my last unfinished roulette so I think we have a lot of music in common.

You bet.

  Awesome! I'll PM you during the week so that we can discuss some ideas.

[The Walrus]

Ya'll Batmen can have your Robins. Superman only needs himself. 

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Ya'll Batmen can have your Robins. Superman only needs himself. 

Superman needs Lex Luthor.

[The Walrus]

Ya'll Batmen can have your Robins. Superman only needs himself. 

Superman needs Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor is not Superman's sidekick! That's it, you're my Lex Luthor now.

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Ya'll Batmen can have your Robins. Superman only needs himself. 

Superman needs Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor is not Superman's sidekick! That's it, you're my Lex Luthor now.

Just what I was hoping for....

[ariich]

Superman needs Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor is not Superman's sidekick! That's it, you're my Lex Luthor now.

Brilliant, this is now officially a Heroes & Villains roulette. People who don't want sidekicks/stooges are good to play solo characters, and we get some nice competitions/grudges going on. People are welcome to choose their own, or I'll assign them at the end of round 1 if not.

OP participants list updated accordingly. Batman & Robin need an enemy.

[King Postwhore]

What about Rich?  Who is he in this?

Mister Mxyzptlk?
Brainiac?

[ariich]

What about Rich?  Who is he in this?

Mister Mxyzptlk?
Brainiac?

I wiped out nearly half the contestants in a single round, so obviously I'm Thanos.

[The Walrus]

I love it!

[King Postwhore]

Perfection!
