ok I see you like synthwave. Where are you on more ambient electronic music, Berlin School, etc?

Wondering if I can get away with sending all instrumentals this roulette.

I know he really likes Tycho and Solar Fields. So ambient electronic music should do well. Maybe.

I don't know Berlin School, and my knowledge of various electronic subgenres is not so good (labels in electronic music confuse me more often than not). But I do like chill downtempo stuff a lot. Tycho is my absolute favorite, but Solar Fields' "Ourdom" is an incredible work as well. Ambient, chill, steadily building and organically evolving, like the Solar Fields track "Mountain King" - tasty stuff to me. More often than not I like my electronic music without vocals. But I also love dance type electronic music, stuff with a straight steady kick beat and warm rich synths on top, breakbeats like the song "The Fountain" by Pendulum...

Nekov sent a lot of electronic stuff of various types in my last roulette; I think he was the most consistently successful participant.

Sign-ups have slowed down, but I'm still going to keep them open through Wednesday, and I'll have results by Friday or Saturday. After that the rounds will go faster.

13/16 submissions so we're doing pretty good, gonna go on a walk and play them all now. So far 2 artists have been sent twice, and one of them has 2 tracks from the same album.

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #79 on:** September 21, 2019, 01:36:33 PM »

I doubt anyone sent the same artist I did......

Me too.

Parama sent the same artist as me.

Without hearing the last few songs I'm pretty sure I already know the round losers and winners.

Hopefully I'll last longer than one round this time.

wolfking · « **Reply #87 on:** September 21, 2019, 08:37:48 PM »

Will send something tonight. I honestly don't think I have much more to offer based on your banned list and list of requirements, but will see what I can come up with. Going to have to dig deep because anything new I do know that doesn't have growls is thanks to others on DTF so won't be going there.

The Walrus · « **Reply #88 on:** September 21, 2019, 09:20:17 PM »

Don't think of them as requirements, just helpful guidelines and tips. You could send a 40 minute epic for all I care.

Well, except the "avoid at all cost" ones lol

wolfking · « **Reply #93 on:** September 22, 2019, 04:30:13 AM »

Actually, I would have a fucking truckload of bands really. I think trying to really focus in on your tastes left me a little confused in the last one Katt, so I'm just sending whatever the wheel lands on.

The Walrus · « **Reply #94 on:** September 22, 2019, 05:37:13 AM »

A friend of mine tells me I have inscrutable taste, so trying to zero in on that is basically an exercise in frustration.

Send me Moonsorrow. I triple dog dare you. You won't last long.

wolfking · « **Reply #95 on:** September 22, 2019, 05:52:09 AM »

They aren't on the banned list but Fates Warning are banned.

The Walrus · « **Reply #96 on:** September 22, 2019, 06:04:56 AM »

Just added them. Not sure how I missed them!

The Walrus · « **Reply #97 on:** September 22, 2019, 03:22:33 PM »

So I'm still trying to figure out how scoring is going to work for round 1. I was initially going to grant points per place, so with 16 participants first place would get 16. But I don't know, because that's a wide gap between first and last place, and in round 2 there will be 3 less people so the max points available are 13. So, I think I'll do scoring out of 10 - 10 for first place, 9 for second etc. naturally with the possibility of ties. Any input on that is welcome but it'll be locked in once round 1 results get started.

I can tell you that I am very impressed with most of these, but I already know 2 that are getting the axe. It could be you!

That's exactly how I did mine last year (I had 15 or 16 I think) ... stack rank 1-10, with a few ties smattered about. The tie could happen anywhere - except 1st and 10th. There's always a single 'best', and a single 'worst' song. OR... you always have 16 as your starting score, and then the 'worst' song in round 2 isn't going to get a 1, but will get 4... which is fair, because the 13th ranked song gets a 4 in both rounds. If you change the top end, then the "best" songs get reduced points as eliminations happen. I think the stack-rank kind of format must have a consistent top-end for an entire roulette, otherwise, people that score high in the first couple of rounds will get higher scores than anyone else can get later in the roulette. Raising the bottom end doesn't matter as much, because the people that score that low are gonna get the boots after the first couple of rounds anyway.

The Walrus · « **Reply #99 on:** September 22, 2019, 04:05:27 PM »

That's kind of what I was thinking. Okay, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Hangman when

The Walrus · « **Reply #102 on:** September 23, 2019, 07:56:37 AM »

I had to make one person resend unfortunately but they have plenty of time still. Since I'm only waiting for two people (potentially three) I can put up hangman in a few minutes and put them in when they send. (EDIT: Game on!)

I think I will go with the top score for each round being 16 since I think we have all the players we're gonna get (17 if ariich decides he wants to play). This will keep everything simple and clean and still allow for big comebacks.
