ariich's DARK TO LIGHT roulette (v8) - Post-roulette updates (ongoing)

[Glasser]

I'm confused on the ep round. I can sent 2 to 5 different artists with each of them being 20- 35 minutes? Or a combined 20-35?

Combined. Total EP length 20-35 minutes.

Thanks for bearing with me....

No problem at all.

If it's helpful, you can have a look at the various ways people approached this in the final round of my v6 roulette - results started here and were spread over a few pages: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=55161.msg2678168#msg2678168

Yes now you mention it, we never actually specify that. But yes, exactly!

And I name the ep myself? This is going to be fun. I think the fog is lifted, I think.

Shoot, you can, but I was going to name my EP Glasser.

It's about a guy who can't decide if he wants to look like Yngwie or Jeff Scott Soto. He suffers death from pizza, but is saved from oblivion by the Golden Bowl of Ovaltine.

His only communication is through songs and gifs. Wandering aimlessly through this world and roulettes aimless until his sees this hobo named TAC.  He prepares to help this hobo with musuc and laughter through gifs.

Until he's horribly betrayed when the hobo mocks him.

Then all hell brakes loose!

You guys are working on EP's already?  Jeez, I'm still trying to find another 'light' submission.

It's not like you sent anything light for the last light round.

I haven't even looked at anything for an EP yet. Typically that's one of the first things I do...

[TAC]

I'm actually working on mine tonight.

Then that just leaves me Litho's final Open Round to figure out.

I've submitted the rest of Crow's and Rounds 5 & 6 for Ariich.

I haven't submitted yet in Litho's but I'm good except for that last Open Round.

You almost make it sound like a full time job.

Are you kidding, it was light AF!?

Where did you find THIS one?  The guy is a famous Italian TV host...

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Well, I have my EP all made up. It started out at 48 minutes long. I was able to widdle it down to 36 minutes. I can't make it any shorter...

[Evermind]

I had my EP ready, then realized one of the bands is banned. Had to change it up but I think it's ready again. There's one song I may replace if I think of something better but otherwise it's good to go.

There's still a lot to prepare as I want to do justice to the story and so far I only got the main story beats down. I also want to do something unusual but that'll depend on how much spare time I'll have in the upcoming few weeks.

Given the length of your posts and writeups, it's full and over-time for you!!

Haha! I just did a search for Tic Tac gif's and it popped up.

More than any previous round, some of my first impressions have turned out to be pretty off the mark.

I would hope to have results finished by Wednesday. There's a chance it may be tomorrow evening, but otherwise it'll need to be Wednesday evening as I'll be in the office and it's a busy day this week so won't be able to listen much. Still keeping it to 9 days or less each round so far which I'm pleased with and is ensuring I can give a proper number of listens to every submission (whether I particularly want to or not ).

[Evermind]

I scored the same as Buddy last time so it seems The Silent Life indeed worked well!

[wolfking]

Expected a drop in comparisons so pleasantly surprised.

[twosuitsluke]

I fully agree, as those Coheed songs are among the best I’ve ever sent in any roulette.

[ariich]

You two are tracking each other really closely so far this roulette so, combined with you being my two most recent winners (and especially after what happened in v6) I thought it was quite funny you sent me the same band but all different songs this round.

Expected a drop in comparisons so pleasantly surprised.

Me too!


Incidentally there's a real mix of score movements, with quite a few small (0.1-0.2) ones and also big (0.6-1.3) ones, in both directions... But we'll see what happens on final listens.

[soupytwist]

I expected mine to be quite similar to last round as they are both power metal, just with less cheese this round.

[Lonk]

Given how low I scored, I expected the green

[King Postwhore]

Hopefully, the drop isn't too far from my last score.
