RouletteMania! v. Do It, Gregg!

Alex, any chance you could put the "Banned from last roulette" list in the OP?

Done. Give me a minute to gather the acts submitted in this roulette so far as well.

Very helpful.  Thank you ringmaster.

[Indiscipline]

My pleasure. Some bandnames were worth recalling

I had a mind to name my next two cats Starless and Bible Black, now I've changed my mind.


Oranssi and Pazuzu all the way.

[TAC]

How about Dead and Buried?

[Indiscipline]

Pappa and Coda?

[jingle.boy]

This will be fascinating to watch unfold.  If I'm interpreting this accurately, just because Katt (for instance) may eliminate his selected target, doesn't preclude him from getting eliminated as well.  Additionally, even if Katt *doesn't* eliminate his target, that doesn't mean he will be eliminated.

 

Pappa and Coda?

I'd go for Prune and Tang.  Everyone likes Prunetang.

Perfect interpretation. The only way to be eliminated by tour target is by being already targetted by the latter and losing the challenge.

Chad's got it out for me because I'm hating on Craphold

You only wish you could make it to a battle with The Body.

[TAC]

English and subtitles!

Perfect interpretation. The only way to be eliminated by tour target is by being already targetted by the latter and losing the challenge.

So, four potential outcomes for everyone:

I eliminate my target, AND ... I get eliminated by the one who targeted me - OVER THE TOP ROPE!
I eliminate my target, BUT ... I DON'T get eliminated by the one who targeted me - on to the next round
I DON'T eliminate my target, BUT ... I get eliminated by the one who targeted me - OVER THE TOP ROPE!
I DON'T eliminate my target, AND ... I DON'T get eliminated by the one who targeted me - on to the next round

I like it.  True Royal Rumble fashion.

[Indiscipline]

Right.

Now expand the permutations times 4, 5, 6 and you approach this roulette's ultimate goal: total chaos

Can we take out the guy we walk in with? Not saying I want to take a steel chair to Rich's face, I just want to know if it's an option. 

[Indiscipline]

You can take out anyone!

[ariich]

Right.

Now expand the permutations times 4, 5, 6 and you approach this roulette's ultimate goal: total chaos

What I love it about it is that, assuming there won't be any draws/ties (i.e. you'll always rank all the songs best to worst), we could have only one elimination per round, or it could be everyone except the round winner who goes, depending on who targets who.

Depends what score you want to get in my roulette.

At least you can't kick my ass out in the first round again.

Hey now, you were never a victim of that. My first album roulette you made it three rounds, and you didn't play at all in the last two.

[The Walrus]

RJ came in last place in my first round in my first roulette  but I learned later he likes much better things than... that 

[Indiscipline]

[King Postwhore]

You know Mean Gene......  RJ is Dunn!  I tell yeah, Dunn!

[The Walrus]

~Dunn Dunn Dunn~

[Sacul]

Yessss chaoss

[Train of Naught]

So it’s possible that someone won’t get targeted at all and gets a free pass, basically?

[Indiscipline]

Right.

No votes, no round winners. Only people either staying in or jumping off the top rope 

Yessss chaoss

Yesssss, sssssend! 

So it’s possible that someone won’t get targeted at all and gets a free pass, basically?

It is indeed possible. However, should you send Radiohead, Coldplay, Pantera, or Slayer, I'm gonna make you pull a Titus O'Neill and never reach the ring.

Also, send 

[Stadler]

In a nutshell, when your bell rings, you submit secretly challenging a guy already on the field.

Or in your rank (weight class)?

Or in your rank. I forgot  Thank you!

The important thing - the true engine of chaos -  is absolute secrecy in pointing your target.

So let's say I target Podaar, but he targets Stadler.

Podaar scores a 9, I score an 8, and Stadler scores a 7...

Podaar obviously eliminates Stadler.

Does he eliminate me by virtue of a higher score, or am I still good because he did not specifically target me?

Great question. In that scenario you're still good. Elimination is possible only via targeting. It's a way to have unpredictable and random eliminations (plus loads of animosity and sidebetting) instead of 15 straight 1v1 duels.

My writeups will basically be a narration of songs brawling with each other

Fuckin' A.  I got eliminated in the EXAMPLE round. This doesn't bode well for my late 80's obligatory hard rock submittals. 

[Stadler]

Alex, any chance you could put the "Banned from last roulette" list in the OP?

Done. Give me a minute to gather the acts submitted in this roulette so far as well.

Very helpful.  Thank you ringmaster.

So ALL those acts are banned?   Eeesh.  I have to dig deep.  Thankfully, I think I'm up to the task.   Here's Mick throwing the tacks into the ring!  Setting up the scorer's table at ring side!    And why am I carrying this ladder, do you ask?   Have a nice day!   

[Indiscipline]

I knew banning Oranssi Pazuzu and Deathspell Omega would have critically reduced your options, but it is what it is.

[The Walrus]

Ale, I may resend later...

[Indiscipline]

Ale I may resend later...

One pint or five, thank you!

[Elite]

So, are just those songs banned, or are we not allowed to send anything by any acts sent in this and your previous roulette?

[Indiscipline]

Nil by those acts

[Elite]

Unfortunately for you, the song 'Nil', as performed by Those Acts does not exist.

[Indiscipline]

Dammit

[TAC]

Indiscipline, do you think you could handle a little harsh vocals in an otherwise great song?
