Hey Good Evening everybody. As I've said before Thursday are my suck day. I've been checking in a reading the thread throughout the day.


Gotten a number of EPs for the next round already and I have to say, they look outstanding. Seems the songs look like they really support the Theme, and I appreciate that. Can't wait to start listening.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Noticed some discussion of the Bonus Points.


As a Roulette player, I am generally against Bonus Points. But I needed to find a way to reward someone who put thought into meeting the theme. Sometimes, to meet the given theme, I know you may compromise a "better" song from an artist for a "lesser" song to fit the theme. I appreciate that, and wanted to reward the person whose songs made the most impact regarding the theme, and not necessarily the EP with the best songs, if that makes any sense. I initially was going to award one Bonus Point, but once we got up to 14 players, I felt I needed to expand it.

My fear is that a Bonus Point ultimately decides the winner, but the Top 4 in the standings are the same top 4 if I remove the bonus points. Cyril would jump up to a 4th place tie. So for the most part, the music is still deciding the outcome.

Bear in mind, this is the visual representation of me submitting



More like the visual representation of me listening.


I forgot about the multiplication. :lol In my defense, I really didn't sleep much lately. It's still pretty big though yeah, especially considering that even the most "oof" songs ended up getting a 6.

The 6.0's in the last round were actually 5.0's...but I didn't want to bury anyone.  :lol I won't score a song less than 6.0 in any round. Not that it'll make a difference.

6.0+6.0+6.0+6.0+6.0+6.0+6.0=42/7=6.0*2=12
Meets Theme= .5

Total=12.5

Don't steal my thunder; my EP is built around Tori Amos and Michael Bolton.  The third artist is a surprise but I can drop the hint that "near, far, wherever you are", the love you have for my EP will go on.

Going to get started on this round shortly.

I took the night off last night from listening. It wasn't so much for my ears, but more for my eyes. Keeping lists, typing out a wall of text..


I also want to say that while I haven't heard a note, looking at the themes and the EP's, you all did an amazing job. Really loved reading all of the PM's. I'm very excited to get going.

Uh oh... Should I send a PM explaining how my songs fit the theme?  I guess I kinda did that for round 1 but didn't really think to do it this time...

Not everyone does it. It's fine either way. Most are self explanatory, but sometimes people like to color it in.

Yeah I normally say a bit about the artists but I don't normally really talk about the theme unless there's anything I particularly want to point out. In this case, I did say a bit more because there's a narrative that runs through my EP.
