Great!  :tup


I’ve also updated the maximum times for the Appetizer and Dessert rounds.

I thought the appetizer round was a max of 15 mins??  But now the OP and the google form says otherwise.

15 minutes seemed excessive for an “appetizer” so I switched it back to 10.

This is a prog forum. If anything, 15 minutes is bite size.

10+ minute song for the appetizer?  Man I must be doing this roulette wrong.

I’m not giving any flack for the limit, I just missed the switch BACK to a 10 min max. I had two songs that paired nicely together, but one was 11 mins. So, I gotta rethink both submissions now.

No flack.

Yeah sorry if I didn’t make that clearer. I did mention earlier that I made some changes to the criteria but I guess I should have specified the changes I made. But yeah. 10 minutes is the limit.


And once again, no fucking olives.

Also, Monday is the deadline for submissions. If anyone does end up wanting to change their submissions before then, you can submit again, just make sure you tell me the songs you are replacing. That goes for future rounds too.

I guess a 15 minute appetizer isn't so insane if you're sending a full 40-minute epic.  I wonder how many people will take him up on that.  Then it will be as long as my final EP round.

I guess if someone sent something banned you'd just call it out in the thread, a new form would hopefully show up in your inbox, with none the wiser?

Whomever would need to re-submit just sends a new form stating the songs the new form is replacing.

Doesn't seem stating what they're replacing would even be necessary if Metro had already specified the offending songs in the thread.

You’re a slacker alright. Whether you’ve sent already is an entirely different question.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Coincide it with a King Gizzard show and we'll talk. Seriously though, I live just over the border from Wales. It's a beautiful country (well, not all of it), and my little corner of the world is also beautiful.

Added a playlist for the roulette to the OP.

Up to 14/17 entries. Come on stragglers!

Also, one submitter proposed the idea of codenames to go with your submissions each round. What do you guys think?

We could do codenames, but they'd have to change each round. Unless we reveal who belongs to each codename at the end of the roulette.....Hmmmm :justjen
