For the sake of clarification, there's something I would like to bring up regarding this roulette.
Way back when I first opened the roulette and made all the rules and stuff, there's something I mentioned that I'd like to go into a little more detail on, and how it will affect scoring.
"...if I hear a song amazing enough, the scale can go a bit higher than 10 (well, kind of... you'll see what I mean if I'm sent a song of that quality in this roulette)."
I normally would have waited until it happened to explain, but I realized that after recently coming up with the way I want to implement that into scoring a roulette submission, it'd be better to talk about it now than have the potential situation of people wondering why someone just suddenly scored a large amount of points. And yeah, it's a bit funny that I'm talking about this when the highest score a song has received so far is a 9.5/10.
So, what's higher than 10? Well... in terms of the number itself, 10. I think it's a bit silly to rate a song higher than 10 when it's a scale from 1 to 10. But it's a 10 with a shiny red filter to it, to signify that this specific song is something truly special to me; to signify that maybe there really are things out there greater than perfection (if one artistic medium can pull that off, it's definitely music). Now as you can probably imagine, these specific ratings are very rare. In my opinion, Dream Theater has about 26 songs that are a 10/10. Only eight of those are a 10/10. And Dream Theater is and always will be my most favorite artist ever. Haken is #2 on that favorite artists list, and they don't have any special 10/10s (Visions comes very close, though). The only other songs I can think of that I'd give the elusive 10/10 at the moment are The Whirlwind, When the Water Breaks, and maybe Anesthetize. Okay, that's just the background stuff; what you guys are probably more interested in is how this applies to the roulette.
First off, to clarify, I am not saying this now because I know I'm going to be giving a song that elusive rating in either of these two rounds; I'd love to be able to hear another song I thought was that perfect of a song, but as of the time I'm writing this, I have not heard a song in Round 4 yet that I'd consider giving that special rating to.
So, what happens if a song you submit gets a special 10/10? My idea is, the entire score of the submission gets doubled. So if, theoretically, someone gets an 8.8 for their overall score for the round and gets a 10/10, that will be doubled to 17.6. And this effect stacks, too. Let's say someone gets a 9.2 and they happened to send two special 10/10 songs. That gets doubled to 18.4, then doubled again to 36.8. And if one were to somehow manage to submit four godlike pieces of music in a single round... You'd get a score of 640. Or in other words, you're basically guaranteed to win the roulette.Stacking the effect seemed cool, but it seems a little too unbalanced, so just ignore the crossed-out part. Plus, it's highly unlikely that this would ever happen in the first place.
Apologies for taking over three rounds to realize this... But at the very least, better to bring it up late than never, right? I'll also add this to the rules post at the beginning of the thread for easier reference.
