Roulette of Champions - FINAL RESULTS, pg 15!

[ariich]

Come one, come all, to the Roulette of Champions!

All winners of Song Roulettes were invited to take part. Some could not handle the pressure, and declined to take part. These contestants who have chosen to compete are the hardcore elite. They will be battling for the ultimate glory as Champion of Champions.

The Contestants:
- Gorille85
- H
- Heretic
- jingle.boy
- kari
- kingshmegland
- Lateralus
- lonestar
- Marvellous G
- Nekov
- obscure
- Orcus116
- Sigz
- skydivingninja
- TheVoxyn
- Ultimetalhead
- YtseBitsySpider
- Zantera

The Rules:
- The judges are me and a mystery second judge, who will remain secret for the duration of the competition. We will each score every song between 0.5 and 4, meaning a score between 1 and 8 per round.
- Given the number of you buggers, you are only guaranteed a place in the first two rounds. The top half of the group (9 out of 18) will proceed past round 2, the rest will be eliminated.
- Submit songs by email to dtfrouletteofchamps@gmail.com. These should ideally be mp3s, but Youtube or Grooveshark (or similar) links will also be acceptable.
- The first round will be open, the others will be themed. Submissions should not only be good, but also fit the theme.
- Below is a list of forbidden bands. This is mainly to cover some of the most obvious bands because we'd prefer people to be more imaginative. Technically anything not in that list is fine, as long as the song fits the theme.

Forbidden bands:
- The Dear Hunter
- Devin Townsend
- Dream Theater
- Frost
- Metallica
- Muse
- Opeth
- Pain of Salvation
- Pink Floyd
- Porcupine Tree
- Rush
- Transatlantic

One final word of note - I'm not going to be around from the 19th to the 29th December as I will be away for Christmas, so the roulette will be on hold during this time. Apart from that, I will be very much around and more active than I have been recently, so hopefully the roulette will move at a reasonable pace. Do be patient with the first couple of rounds though, there are a LOT of you!

ROUND 1 - OPEN
No theme here, just send anything you think is good, and preferably not something too obvious or well known (and absolutely nothing in the list of forbidden bands).

[WindMaster]

Following! Should be incredibly awesome.

[Scorpion]

Following! Should be incredibly awesome.

Also, did Zander opt out?

[Jaffa]

Yeah, I haven't followed any of these all the way through, but I think I'll have to check this one out. 

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Following. Too bad I'm such a big loser and couldn't participate.

[Ultimetalhead]

So that forbidden list is all that's forbidden? So, I could theoretically send stuff that I know you like (like stuff that I sent in your roulette before) and be totally fine?

You could, but that wouldn't be very imaginative, so I might not find it very exciting and therefore may not score it as highly. Also, you've no idea how much the other judge will like it.

[YtseBitsySpider]

No Raven?...

...means no Dan Swano.

Means I WIN.

ahahhahha..you're all going down.

as soon as Obscure is done. She goes down first.

buwhwhahhahahahahahhaha

[jingle.boy]

You're all playing for 2nd place bitches!

[King Postwhore]

AWE YEAH!!!

[King Postwhore]

Due date for the 1st round Rich?

[TheVoxyn]

I hope the mystery judge appreciates things that are not prog or metal, otherwise I'm screwed.

Anyway, I noticed that my favourite band isn't banned so I'll just send that since I have nothing else to go by (tastes show after the first round I guess).

[Ultimetalhead]

inb4 mystery judge is Kevin Moore.

[ariich]

No Raven?...

Yeah, he declined as he's really busy.

Due date for the 1st round Rich?

Hmm, no particular cut off yet, as we're just getting started. If submissions are slow I will chase people though. Later rounds will have submission deadlines.

[Ħ]

Wow. Uh....wow. No idea what to send. Rich knows all the music I've ever listened to, pretty much. As for the mystery judge...hmmm...might be too soon to speculate, but hefdaddy? Dunno. I'm gonna have to find a good song.

If your library, Rich, is up to date, then you haven't listened to this group. Sending.

[Nekov]

This should be fun. I guess it's not Bosk after all

[Ħ]

Hm...it could be bosk. But he hasn't been around that much of late.

Just looking at the list, it's crazy how many DTF regulars on in this competition. I know of all the people in the contest, and am aware of maybe 75% of the type of music each listens to. This gunna be intense.


EDIT: Sent in a music group that's somewhat known on DTF, but it's not in Rich's last.fm so I'm banking on him (or the mystery judge) not knowing them.

[Nekov]

Sent

[lonestar]

Sent

Damn, I wanted to be first, stupid naps.



Anyways, let's get this puppy rolling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


EDIT:And sent!!!!

[Elite]

If you'd waited two days and crazyaga had his final results up, I could be in here too

Ah, well. Following.

[lonestar]

Speaking of which,kirksnosehair won my roulette a few days ago,maybe he should be thrown an invite.

[Nekov]

They're already cutting half of us because of the large number. I don't think any more people are needed here

[King Postwhore]

Sent!

[jingle.boy]

Speaking of which,kirksnosehair won my roulette a few days ago,maybe he should be thrown an invite.

No, he's not allowed in.

You beat me by one lousy point douche-bag. 

This time, I'm gonna

[Ħ]

I wouldn't be opposed to letting Elite and kirksnosehair join in. More people for me to stomp. 

[lonestar]

I'm just honored to be part of this august collection of DTFers, and just hoping that God willing i can show well.

Can the mods allow smack-talk in this thread? Pretty pleeaaase?

[jingle.boy]

Can the mods allow smack-talk in this thread? Pretty pleeaaase?

You have to ASK if you can talk smack!?!?!  You should've just said "Mods, I'm a pussy, is it ok if I try to talk tough by demeaning and insulting others in this thread?"

:bitchslap:
