How many times do people need to keep asking whether overtake points carry over before you start deducting their overtake points?

4 times if they are in Hangman contention, but it becomes a 3 if I already know their song. Also, if they PM before 12:00 AM they have an extra question, given the player inside 5 places ahead hasn't asked as well. Naturally, given you have guessed your first impression inside 18 minutes from my original post ...

Got it, thanks.

Can I use those points at the McDonald's drive through, if I use the app?

But what if I exchange my extra song for 3 Overtake Points before you hit breakfast tho? Unless the bottom player has already sent their target through a love letter and a box of chocolates, hmnnn...

I love you guys

Alessandro, question on the overtake points.

I have 6. Do they carry over, like if I use 2 for the guy two spots ahead of me, can I bank the other 4? Do I have to use any at all, and save all of them?

They do not carry over.

How about carrying over into someone else's roulette? I could really use them in Shadow Ninja's!

Can you lend me a few of your Pokemon Points from ariich's roulette to run through a currency exchange?  You had so many I doubt you'll even notice they're missing if I borrow a few.

Funny you should mention that, when doing my latest post-roulette update, I was reading back some of my write-ups from round 6 and ended up following through the thread into the bonus round that came after it. Lots of good feels and positive vibes, it really was so much fun doing that. Whenever my next roulette is, I'm definitely doing that again.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Can we put Caelan in the roulette hosting queue?

My homey asking the real questions that need to be answered here...

No fucking chance. As far as I'm concerned I have a 3 trillion point lead in Caelan's first roulette, and I ain't giving that up for no one.

Unless Seneca plays, in which case you only have a 1 trillion point lead.

Very interesting take on Andy's tone.  I'll have to relisten with that in mind.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

His tone has varied a fair amount over the years, though it's almost always quite good.  Ear X-tacy and Resolution are probably my favorites of his. 

[wolfking]

I think Alessandro wasn't knocking his tone in general just the lack of variation of tones within the song to explore the subject matter?  Maybe like he played the song with the volume knob on his guitar never exceeding 75%?

[TAC]

Getting ready for the next Bizarro!

[wolfking]

Getting ready for the next Bizarro!

Get those 324 tabs open and ready mate.

[Indiscipline]

Looking at 16/17 submissions right now, and I swear you whippersnappers are deliberately trying to make me really sweat the next Bizarro batch.

I am so proud.

Yeah, in regards to his writeup on the song, I think that's more or less exactly what he means.  I was just observing how it's changed a fair amount in general over the years, having freshly listened to that song.  That adage about "tone is all in the fingers" is just not true.  The origin and most important part, yes, but gear matters.

I agree with this analogy to a certain extent.  I think vibrato, attack, pick control, how hard or soft you fret all of that stuff certainly plays a major part but yeah, the gear is the tools we have to take those traits and make them excel.  Still, I think if you suck and have bad musical feel and a sense of tone, no expensive gear will hide your shitty playing.

[Indiscipline]

^ I believe we could milk 47 pages minimum from that discussion still in the bud. My take? Ear, hands, and the way you know and use your gear.

Meanwhile, I am glad to announce all the submissions are in my mailbag and tomorrow we dine in Bizarrhell.

Again, only one song I already knew.

Oh, absolutely.  I would just get tired of the guys on various forums and such who were effectively implying that you'll sound exactly the same on an L5 into a JC120 as on a Warlock into a Triple Rec.

I don't think any of us can argue with this.

I'd be surprised if you knew my song already.......it's probably the one you know....

lonestar: Nemophila – Life: The perfect soundtrack for a Mecha Anime victory flight, and a 45rpm vinyl 1984 Indi would have given a kidney to own. Not crazy about the vocals, but I'm impressed by the self-harming way the gal is singing her heart out, thus increasing the feels factor. Why isn't this Orgasmic then? Phenomenal melodies (both vocal and lick-wise) are phenomenal, but there's only so much you can attain without substantial variation. I honestly expected crazier from a Nippon act.   

I'm going to pretend I didn't see the "not crazy about the vocals" about my current favorite vocalist. 

I know she's not a technical master, but man, her tone just clicks with me so hard. Unfortunately you're adverse to orcs, which is about 70% of what she puts out, but man, when she belts a ballad like this one it just goes right to my feels.

It's quite unpredictable what's going to work vocally from those bands, but she's definitely one of the better ones.

And she's such a trooper...seeing her crush it at Aftershock while almost 8 months pregnant...easily the most metal thing I've ever seen.

I'm so behind on my gear, I have no fucking idea what any of those are. 

I certainly try and rely on 'tone is in the fingers,' cause my gear is old and shit.  Guitar, lead, amp, go.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Just how far behind are you, that's not new stuff.  .  Gibson L-5 hollowbody, Roland Jazz-Chorus 120, B.C. Rich Warlock, Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier. 

[wolfking]

The only thing I picked up on initially was Warlock, which I never owned because they looked fucking stupid.  Was never a BC Rich fan.

I was just never a big effects guy.  I have a couple of pedals and a wah, but they are collecting dust.  I'm so fucking lazy.

[LithoJazzoSphere]

Ah, though the JC120 is actually an amp, and used much more widely than just for jazz.
