AC/DC marathon songs + Raikan takes over

Tonight we played 24 unranked songs and likely gained at least 24M points (didn't check). Most of the night we played with the optimal line-up, but Sylvie replaced Phoenix for the last set. We probably moved up from rank 31 to 27 in the "All Songs" Leaderboards.

Using our patented pseudo-random song selection technique (see this post), we just so happened to get two AC/DC songs in a row. But not just any two AC/DC songs... Jailbreak (Live) and High Voltage (Live)! These two songs are the longest in the game, at 10 minutes+ each.

Now I don't mind long epic songs (I'm a Dream Theater fan after all), but these two, especially Jailbreak, had some really long and boring parts that seemed to never end... Phoenix had enough of one of these songs, so Sylvie played the second one.

Tonight was the first time that Bongoo was not the "Top Performer" for the most songs. Raikan gets the win with 14 vs. Bongoo's 10!

Also of note is that we didn't have an internet connection so hopefully the next time Phoenix connects, tonight's scores will be uploaded. In RB1, scores for songs that were played offline were never uploaded, but apparently this is fixed in RB2. This will be a good test. We'll have to wait until next week to try the new metal songs from the Mayhem pack.

Highlights:
- Stars breakdown for the 24 songs: Gold star (5), 5 stars (17), 4 stars (2)
- Raikan is the "Top Performer" for the most songs (14), followed by Bongoo (10), Phoenix (6), and then DMan and Sylvie (1 each)
- Bongoo has the most FCs (4), followed by Raikan (2)
- Phoenix has an amazing performance on "Sleepwalker", finishing as the "Top Performer" with 96% of notes hit
