And here, I ran the numbers for everyone.

2: twosuitsluke - 1
2: Elite - 1
3: TAC - 0 (lost all points due to major burn earlier)

Wait. Even if that were the point tally, how’d you end up in that order?

[King Postwhore]

Yeah, the king is always on the top. 

[Buddyhunter1]

Wait. Even if that were the point tally, how’d you end up in that order?

It was just the order in the OP.

Anyways I'm at work right now so someone else is going to have to do the actual math. And I doubt it will matter at this point, but I believe I am entitled to an extra 0.5 points due to Miasma getting a 4.5.

I don’t know that that’s how this works, but eh. Whatever you say

[Sacul]

Nice, glad you loved that song, it's such a powerful tune.

So do we send an album or not?

I have no idea currently.

As much as I'd like to send you more tearjerkers in form of albums, I think it'd be best to conclude the roulette here - you've got too much in your plate right now, and the holidays are getting real close.

So, congrats ariich!

[Elite]

Hot damn, a 3.5 doesn’t do the song justice

Congrats all!

I’m sending Trout Mast Replica for the inevitable album round one year from now

[HOF]

I’m fine if you want to wrap this now or if you want to do the album round that’s cool too. I’m also happy to send you my album whether or not you ever score it, because its an essential album that everyone should hear at least once IMO.

[twosuitsluke]

I don't think I'm even in the running to make it to the album round, if it goes ahead.

Thanks for having me dude, and hope you enjoyed some of what I sent.

Yeah, that half a point wouldn't get me into the album round even if it were a thing.

Congrats HOF!

[jingle.boy]

Well suck me sideways!  Top 5 and tied with Cheffy-Poo.

[lonestar]

Well suck me sideways!  Top 5 and tied with Cheffy-Poo.

Might havto have our own little album round... Being tied just won't do

[jingle.boy]

Not that I'm being terribly picky, but since this math didn't add up with what I tracked for my scores, I see that we all missed Deadeye miscalculating the scores between round 6 and 7:

Round 6:

The score so far…

HOF - 32.5
kingshmegland - 31
TAC - 30.25
Buddyhunter1 - 30
Puppies_On_Acid - 29.75
Vmadera00 - 29.75
Tomislav95 - 29.5
ReaperKK - 29.25
lonestar] - 29
Sacul - 29
Revenge319 - 28.75
jingle.boy - 28.5
wolfking - 28.25
romdrums - 28.25
Stadler - 27.5
Twosuitsluke - 27.5
Senecadawg2 - 27.25
Elite - 26.25

Alright, I have school holidays for the next 2 weeks, let’s do this next round real quick!

Round 7:

And here's the math! Very large change this time around. Hey Elite, you're moving up in the world too!

The score so far...
HOF – 32.75
kingshmegland - 31
TAC – 30.75
Tomislav95 – 30.5

Puppies_On_Acid - 29.75

wolfking - 28
senecadawg2 - 27.25
twosuitsluke - 27
Stadler - 26.5
Elite – 26.25
Revenge319 - 26

I'm not sure who (if anyone) has the wherewithal to go back and figure out what the real totals are to see if the standings are impacted.  HOF surely doesn't ... but maybe King does.

Oh, that just means I won by even more probably!

I got a 5.75 and King got a 5.5 in round 7, so after round 7 I should have been at 38.25 and King would have been at 36.5…

https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=57536.1700

We both got a 6 in round 8, so that gets us to 44.25 and 42.5 respectively:

https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=57536.1900

Then he got a 5 and I got a 4 this round, so I’m up 48.25 to 47.5 I think!

[jingle.boy]

By that logic, I gained 1/2 point on lonestar that round, so I finished 5th alone!

Suck it, chef.   

[King Postwhore]

My brain hurts.

[lonestar]

Suck it, chef.   

So you're seriously going to micromanage the results instead of facing me one on one?

[Lonk]

Meh, this is what not wanting to work looks like...

There were some mistakes in the math for some rounds. I probably made some mistakes myself 

[Buddyhunter1]

Also, what's that phrase at the end of your message mean? I feel like I should know this, but I don't.

He's saying "me, the big fuck up" cause that's what he'll be after I rank higher than him*
*me ranking higher than him very much not guaranteed

Buddy, you never even entered into my head as serious competition. If you are ahead of me after the first round, it's because I have allowed it.

In totally unrelated news I'm currently scoring your submission in my roulette, I think it might be the worst song of the roulette so far.

Ok, so that intro really gives a false feeling for the song. Opening with that jazzy feeling but going into something almost grunge like before a prog af feel after the first 90 seconds. Talk about laying it all on the line for the last round. Oh, and then the jazzy feeling comes back but super heavy at the same time. Before the end, we also get something that feels like a classic musical theatre cue.
I think this song suffers from trying to be too much at once, because I’m finding that I’m getting really into what’s happening in one style and then getting torn out of it for something else. It’s quite disjointing. It’s not to say that I dislike the material here, because I really don’t. Everything that makes up this song is really quite cool. But I don’t think it all belongs together the way it’s presented here, maybe a few more transitional moments could’ve turned this around.

While I love the song the way it is, I agree with your comments about the disjointed feel of it. There's a couple parts that I would've really liked to hear go on longer or be more fleshed-out.

Thanks for having me for your roulette! I'm glad I could show you some new music that you like.

I think Luke has a point. If he sent Home by The Dear Hunter, he probably would've gotten a 10/5 for the vocal performance alone.

Well, I hope you voted in the top 25 singers thread!

I'll take tied for 2nd.  On the podium!

To be completely honest... I would have liked to have voted in that thread, but I'm not sure that I actually know 25 singers that I'm familiar with and enjoy enough to make a Top 25 (I'm too busy with my gaming backlog to get back to my music/roulette backlog). But I sure do hope Casey Crescenzo makes that list!

[jingle.boy]

I liked it better when we were using Deadeye's new-world math.

That is pretty much the exact same reason I didn’t vote. But, instead of Casey Crescenzo, I hope Myles Kennedy makes the list.

[Tomislav95]

They both made the list... mine

Your list maybe    apparently the official list will be a whole different kettle of fish!

[Deadeye21]

I think I’m interested in doing an album round, but later. Kinda just need some time to let a few things play out right now.

[twosuitsluke]

I might send you an album anyway. An album so good it makes you regret not giving me better scores each round!
