The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- now exploring every roulette submission ever

[The Walrus]

Hmmmmmm okay I just woke up so maybe I didn't think that through...

Yes, you must send if you reserve. I'm officially locking it in as such.

[ariich]

Hmmmmmm okay I just woke up so maybe I didn't think that through...

Yes, you must send if you reserve. I'm officially locking it in as such.

Probably sensible, on balance. In that case, I probably won't go reserving as I have plenty of options to send, whereas if it had been optional I'd have been reserving just for the hell of it, and just in case.

[Evermind]

Yeah. If you reserve, you should commit to the part, otherwise it makes absolutely no sense balance-wise.

[The Walrus]

Definitely. Fa sho.

[Evermind]

Definitely. Fa sho.

I mean it's whatever you decide as you're the host, but yeah... reserving and not using stuff because it scored badly would be broken af in my opinion.

Excited for the first impressions though!

[The Walrus]

Yeah, I didn't think that through entirely. I blame no coffee...

Everyone solve the hangman and I'll have impressions, although I don't know what else to add until results which won't be till the end of the week

You fabulous jerk. 

Impressions later today then. Round 1 moving fast!

Except Angel. Where the hell did you get that? 

[Evermind]

Sarah McLachlan - Angel, you know, it should be this forum's meme at this point

Also it's just dawned on me it's sent by Chad probably

[The Walrus]

Wrong!

Also you didn't guess who sent what sooo 

[Evermind]

Wait I have to do that? Fock me sideways.

I sent Amethystium

[romdrums]

[Indiscipline]

Seriously,


Am I the only one who keeps reading "Handjob Manpants" in the thread title?

I need to know

[Crow]

hangman wasn't even up for a day and you all were getting impatient already? damn

ev you gotta guess who sent what now it's the law

[Podaar]

Seriously,


Am I the only one who keeps reading "Handjob Manpants" in the thread title?

I need to know

Yes. Yes you are.

[The Walrus]

Right? Like damn results won't even happen till the end of the week hahaha I haven't even started round 2 of listening yet

[TAC]

I haven't even started round 2 of listening yet

I don't blame you. 

[The Walrus]

Tim. Is there anything you DO like? Besides sucking and blowing. 

I will say this first round is exactly what I was hoping for. A very diverse range of music with great fresh sounds. Fierce competition. Scoring will be hard as of right now

[Crow]

TAC you should post your results right away, if it's all so terrible 

[ariich]

Seriously,


Am I the only one who keeps reading "Handjob Manpants" in the thread title?

I need to know

Technically I don't keep doing it, because I've only done it once.

[King Postwhore]

Seriously,


Am I the only one who keeps reading "Handjob Manpants" in the thread title?

I need to know

Shouldn't you be seeing Handjob Sweatpants?  Easier access.

[Big Hath]

Hmmmmmm okay I just woke up so maybe I didn't think that through...

Yes, you must send if you reserve. I'm officially locking it in as such.

Probably sensible, on balance. In that case, I probably won't go reserving as I have plenty of options to send, whereas if it had been optional I'd have been reserving just for the hell of it, and just in case.

I will say it's still a bit unfair to the original sender, especially in a case where a band has several styles/sounds/eras (such as TOP).  I leaned a little heavier on old stuff, but if Katt REALLY likes the new stuff, king could just go heavy on that and rack up a big(ger) score.

[King Postwhore]

Sure could.

[ariich]

That's a fair point.

Personally if I was sending Tower of Power (which I might have done), I'd have just sent some tracks from Soul Vaccination. One of those bands who are solid on record but outstanding live.

[The Walrus]

Well, nobody's reserved anything yet, so there's that.   

I don't count it as a reservation unless I receive an explicit PM saying what is being reserved, fyi. And just because something does well one round doesn't guarantee another batch from the same artist will do so well, and that's not taking into consideration the other 18 sets of songs being submitted. I feel like there's lots of wiggle room here

Do not underestimate my love for things that might be entirely wack to most people. When I said get weird, I meant it.

Foreign language vocals ok?

Definitely. But if this was metal, I'd rather smell Lance Armstrong's biking shorts.

[ariich]

Splendid.

By the way are you going to post the completed hangman (assuming Evermind got everything right) or not bother?

[The Walrus]

Oh I am I'm just slacking off there... been doing things around the house, haven't sat at my laptop all day. I'll throw it up here in a minute before I go back outside the rest of the day
