My best work and it’s the worst of the lot. That really sucks.
Be fair on yourself, you got a near-perfect score for the story.

On the other two aspects, you're not exactly tailoring your EPs to what Pup is looking for - that is to say, Pup clearly said in the OP that for flow he prefers an edited single file rather than Spotify playlists, and by this point in the roulette we should all have a better idea of his musical interests and tastes. Which is a completely fine way to play roulettes by the way, you're certainly not alone in sending things you want to share rather than what the host will like most! It's just unlikely to generate high scores unless you (or anyone else taking that approach - Stadler always does and to some extent so does Pup actually) and the host have highly overlapping tastes and interests.

To be really clear, I'm not in any way having a go at you for your approach - like I said it's completely valid and rewarding in a different way to sending things you think the host will like (which doesn't always work well anyway!).
These are all good points. For myself, I never play roulettes to win. I play to introduce the host to new music and to have fun. If I happen to win as a byproduct, that's just a happy accident. And everyone has different tastes in music that doesn't always work out, just ask Jingle in his roulettes I've participated in  :lol

I’m going stupid with this last one then. This is either gonna be my worst score yet, or I’m gonna end up acing it and I don’t know which one would be worse here.

He didn't "rule 6" you so nothing was that awful. :lol

EDIT: Actually am I right in thinking that Pup is himself the only person ever to have actually been rule 6ed?

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Pretty sure it was when Cyril (then called Parama) first introduced the rule to his own roulette. The rule was basically along the lines of: I hate your submission enough then I'll eliminate you from the whole roulette.

(that was a roulette with eliminations every round and the goal of the rule was that if there was an obvious total dud among an otherwise group of healthy participants i would eliminate that dud outside of the normal round eliminations so that the entire rest of the round doesn't go to waste :corn)

I can't remember if I was technically rule 6ed for Absu or if I was just simply eliminated. Maybe it was both :rollin

Ah yes, you're right. I'd confused two things - as you say, in your case it was just an epic fail but not a rule 6.

It was in fact Sacul in the following round who got the only ever rule 6: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=52411.msg2447411#msg2447411

I actually liked St. Vincent up to this album. I stopped listening with the self titled since I thought it was pretty bad. Then Masseduction came out and it was even worst. I had tickets to see her in 2017 and after I heard the album I sold my tickets.

I've been creating art like crazy over the last few days for the albums I've received so far. I'm enjoying this so much! Listening to the concept albums while creating art for them  :metal There's going to be some fairly large album books for each of these.

How about a little teaser?
