Katt's Roulette 3.0 v. post-roulette jingle concept playlist thing results!

[TAC]

So the March To Elimination rolls another round.

I should pull a Wolfking and self eliminate.

Wait, Slipknot is now banned? And I have a great song lined up!

[Crow]

sent then resent

[Sacul]

Wait, didn't I have immunity for the first two rounds?

Awesome! I'll have the thread up sometime, uh... in the next couple of days.

I should add that three people have partial immunity from ending in the top 3 of my last roulette, if the other two choose to participate. Sacul gets immunity for the first two rounds, Nekov gets immunity for round 1, and Stadler will have the option to send two songs for round 1 and the better song gets the pass. So there will be eliminations.

o o f 

on one hand dacul has a point, on the other hand even i'd be a little upset if hath got cut despite having a 5-point lead on dacul 

[The Walrus]

WOW I'm fucking up my own roulette. 

Sacul indeed has immunity for two rounds... MEANING HE'S STILL IN!! Hath does not then get the bump, Sacul just gets to ignore the elimination.

I am not home at the moment but I will make the correction when I get back. You are one lucky dude, Sacul... very lucky. Let's see if you can come back!

[Crow]

for the record, to stay in dacul needs to get at least 12 points with at least 3 of kwy, ruba, tac, and ruba scoring at most 4, 4, 5, and 7 points respectively - and has to win a tiebreaker if he scores only 12 points 10%. because the minimum possible score next round is 4.

dacul can also tie elite if elite scores 4 or 5 and dacul scores 15 or 16 (only 16 if elite scores 5).

this is assuming there's going to be 3 eliminations next round to make up for only 1 last round, at least.

good luck dacul

@katt just wondering how you're going to address the scaling score problem with eliminations. buddy used the same scoring system and the end result was that he had to shift the point values towards the end because there was something like a 6 point gap between ranking first and ranking last, due to the lower end of the point scale vanishing as more people got eliminated

[The Walrus]

In that case we'll just use fast tiebreaker rounds. Only 2 eliminations next round, not 3. It'll work itself out, I think.

I have faith in Sacul.

[wolfking]

Pffft.....whatever your comments, I feel you were always going to rank me last no matter what mate.  Laters.  Thanks for kicking me out.

[wolfking]

I should pull a Wolfking and self eliminate.

I'm sure your time would be more valuable elsewhere Tim.

[Buddyhunter1]

Well, not the best ranking, but glad you liked it anyways.

Will send tomorrow

[Kwyjibo]

Glad you kinda liked it, sad that it didn't score better.

Sent something different.

I'm confused as to how to take this comment especially with the following post. Are you saying I'm unfair? What have I done to you?

Nothing mate, it's all good.  Good luck to everyone for the remainder of the roulette.

Yeah, the comment sounded a little passive aggressive, but I'm sure it wasn't intended that way. Maybe I read it wrong.

Sent a round winner

Oh, you sent the same song as me? 

[Buddyhunter1]

Sent.

Yeah, I'd recommend doing this around when half of the people have been eliminated, at the latest.

[ariich]

Damn, fair play to Cyril as I didn't even have Foxy Shazam in my list of possibilities for some reason. Honestly can't remember if it was just an oversight or I decided they wouldn't be for you.

Glad you liked the Ihlo! From your write-up, I think you'll like the album a lot. The first three tracks are mostly more straightforward djenty prog metal, but they're still really good, but the second half of the album is where it's at.

Will send round 3 soon, maybe tonight, or tomorrow latest.

EDIT: Sent something completely different again!

[Ruba]

I'll take that score and I'm happy to be in for now. Actually, that song is probably the most intense one from its parent album (Songs of Faith and Devotion). The whole album is more on the pensive side (maybe that's what you were looking for?), but if you're looking for catchier material Violator's your jam. But Faith and Devotion and Ultra have plenty of gems on them as well.

For what I'll be sending, I'll have a favourite for now, but I'm also considering other options. I'm not a fan of open rounds.

[romdrums]

Sent for Round Three.

[The Walrus]

As for the scoring, I'm not really sure what I'll do. Perhaps I will "number squish" in the three final rounds since the format is different, we'll see. I think I will only eliminate 1 person for rounds 6 and 7 because I want the end group to be a small set of survivors but not too small. Anyway, I have 2/3 of the submissions, just waiting on a few.

I took some time this weekend to check out the Foxy Shazam record. It is interesting. "Killin' It" is my favorite song on the record, but I'm not quite sure what genres to categorize the album under which is refreshing and that's proving to be the most interesting music for me, when it's not solidly fitting into one genre in my head. Not sure if FS counts as ska or not, but that's what I got from the track "Bombs Away" for example, and with the horns in "Killin' It" that also gives me that impression. I really like the singer, he has a unique, eccentric voice (and most importantly it DOESN'T grate on my nerves). Singers with unique identifiable voices are my favorites, but can also be my least favorites (like Serj Tankian, can't stand him).

I'm really excited to check out the Ihlo record. I think the art of that album is the coolest I've seen from the two rounds yet, and that song - at least, to me - really complements the brisk fall weather that just arrived here, so that's a really good sign, can't wait to play it.

Definitely not giving up on them. Pensive is a good word to describe a lot of music I like, but I suppose in my head I was expecting something a bit more upbeat, not sure why. Catchier would be better. They're an artist I know I gotta dig into a bit more even though that song didn't have me begging for more.

[Buddyhunter1]

That Foxy Shazam song is now stuck in my head and I only listened to it once.

[Ruba]

While I might not make it that far, I'd like to know whether you're supposed to compile your own concept album for the last round or send something that already exists.

[The Walrus]

Yup, it's a make-your-own-concept-album album round

[Stadler]

What's my time limit?  I'm indicisive about my followup, but I'm leaving to go to Flying Colors tonight.  Can I send tomorrow in the am, the latest?

Double answer: no time limit on songs, and if you have to wait til tomorrow AM to send, that's fine. I like the heads up.

Thanks, seems like an interesting challenge.

While we wait for Hangman III, I made a new wallpaper for my desk at work, props to ariich for turning me onto Ihlo, 'cause this album is tasty and cool (and I mean cool as in literally, that is the vibe the music gives off, cold and refreshing).

You never know... I see you have some pretty interesting jazzy stuff. But we'll see what the competition brings. Go out swinging if you must. Everyone's got a fighting chance... watch out TAC!
