BuzzJack Music Forum _ Buzzjack Song Contest _ Suggestion Box!
Posted by: Silas 5th April 2013, 02:17 PM
We have some very exciting plans being ironed out currently that we can't wait to tell you about! The first of our changes for 2013 is this thread!!!
- Got an idea for a rule that you'd like to see introduced?
- Is there a rule you think should be changed or removed?
- Got a spin off idea in your back pocket that you're just itching to tell the world about?
- Have you had an idea for a BJSC logo that you want to share with the world?
- Have an idea about a new resource?
- Have an idea for an 'event' contest?
This is the place you can do that and more! We want to hear from you. Your ideas, your queries, your concerns, the whole nine yards! One of us will respond to your post and we will discuss everything raised in here in our mod forum.
Initially what we are really looking for is people who have an idea for a spin-off and for those people who haven't yet hosted but are dying to do so. Later this year spin-offs and Reloaded will relaunch and we are looking for people to be hosts! We don't have exact dates as of yet but I am anticipating a mid/late summer launch.
We're also planning an event for June this year. So stay tuned and get submitting!

Oh yay for more spinoffs! Can we have a 90s spinoff please?
(By the way are the BJSC Awards for last year just not happening now?)
Posted by: Silas DC/DU 5th April 2013, 02:44 PM
(By the way are the BJSC Awards for last year just not happening now?)
If you want to host a 90's spin off I can add that to the list! Even if you don't it's going on there! Any excuse to wheel out the 90's CD's
(We'll see what we can whip up)
Posted by: Lex 5th April 2013, 03:11 PM
I'd just like to suggest the possibility of BJFestivalen II sil vous plait.
Posted by: Oliver 5th April 2013, 03:13 PM
(We'll see what we can whip up)
A 90s one would be really good. Would it have to be obscure 90s artists though or are the rules normally more relaxed (i.e. able to send someone more well known) for spin-off contests?

Bring back the BJSC Wiki as an official resource and encourage posters to use it? I no longer even update mine because noone else uses it. 
http://bjsc.wikia.com for the record...

http://bjsc.wikia.com for the record...
The fact that it was so heavily underused, and would take a massive amount of time and effort to get up to scratch was the reason we scrapped it in the end. I think there was a lot of ambition to do things with it that never panned out under Tyron.
We'll think about it, but we certainly would have no problems with y'all banding together to build up a brilliant resource.
Posted by: Robot 5th April 2013, 09:51 PM
Yeah, I didn't enter BJFestivalen last time, but would like to this time, if we did one! I'd put that ahead of a spin-off, as that often consists of lots of songs we already know, usually.
I haven't come up with anything RIGHT AWAY, but this is a good idea to have around, as one could pop up at ANY TIME.
Posted by: Oricon 5th April 2013, 11:03 PM
Perhaps a spin off with semi-cheap songs only used for it? It could provide an interesting view for those who compete in it.
Posted by: Silas DC/DU 5th April 2013, 11:35 PM
I'm not sure I get what you mean Oricon.
Posted by: Oricon 5th April 2013, 11:58 PM
Artists such as Ricki-Lee, Charli XCX, iamamiwhoami, Darin, Icona Pop, Wynter Gordon, etc being allowed for this spin-off and only those who can be classified as "semi-cheap" permitted for this and not too overly cheap up to the point of Rihanna, Carly Rae Jepsen, Taylor Swift, etc.
Another suggestion I would have for a spin-off is songs which have been confirmed to been vetoed by BJSC contests to be gathered together and compete with one another.
Posted by: Silas DC/DU 6th April 2013, 12:19 AM
That's a hard theme just because there's no real clear cut off for borderline tracks. Everyone's views differ so much that, that theme would be a lot of hard work vetting the tracks and then there's the aftermath. We're looking for theme's that the host can vet the entries for, asking the mods for advice if they are unsure, as we're going to be running these along side the regular contests and are looking for them to become self-sufficient.
We've spent a long time getting stability and ensuring we have a good level of participants so we're now looking for ways to improve the contest, how much people enjoy it and how much you guys actually get involved. With the Spin-offs/Reloaded relaunch we want to be able to take a more hands off approach to them just stepping in to offer advice and pick the hosts. We see it as a great way that you can get experience hosting before you're thrown into a main contest and as a way for you to get more involved with how the contest is run. You'd be in charge of your theme so you'd set the rules for that contest in regards to what entries you will and won't allow. You'll then have to ensure that the entries are within those rules. The main contests rules are seriously loosened for spin-offs so aside from discouraging covers that aren't reasonably different it's down to the host and their theme.
The getting involved thing is why this is here. It's all fine and well with us coming up with rule tweaks and new idea's and then getting approval after the fact but this will allow you to have input right at the word go. Transparency ftw.
Posted by: Oricon 6th April 2013, 12:55 AM
Hence why before I was going to post it, I doubted myself whether it'd be a good recommendation at all as I realise it resulted in additional BJSC mod workload, something which spin-offs shouldn't lead to. If a few more ideas pop up, I'll see whether it'll be worth posting next time.
Posted by: 152chris 6th April 2013, 04:12 AM
I like the idea of a VETOED round!
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 6th April 2013, 04:18 AM
i have had about 1,000 spin off ideas i'll post when i'm not drunk...
Posted by: HausofKubrick 6th April 2013, 09:43 AM
YES PLEASE.
Posted by: kenukcsf 6th April 2013, 08:20 PM
An idea would be possibly when the semi-finals are up that someone could give a guide to how every country who has entered has done in BJSC.
For example:
Country Name:
Debut BJSC Contest:
BJSC's completed in:
Finals:
Best finish:
Performance in last BJSC:
What do you think?
Posted by: Bra 6th April 2013, 08:23 PM
That's pretty much all in the existing stats thread (albeit not currently up to date).
Posted by: Silas DC/DU 6th April 2013, 08:31 PM

It's almost at the top of my to-do list.
Posted by: Chez Wombat 6th April 2013, 08:42 PM
I would definitely be interested in taking part in a 90s/00s spin off. A little while to wait yet but I'd quite like to see themed spin offs like Halloween & Christmas BJSC editions, would be interesting 
Posted by: Silas DC/DU 6th April 2013, 08:46 PM
We did a Christmas Special a few years ago, but I'll add them to the list to return once again if the calendar sync's with the holidays!
Posted by: Thermometer 9th April 2013, 07:05 PM
Songs that peaked at #41 in the UK Chart Or if you want a wider choice range, songs that just missed out on the UK Top 40 (#41-#50 peak)
I think that would throw up some inspired choices!
Posted by: Silas DC/DU 9th April 2013, 07:08 PM
Thanks! Will add that to the list!
Posted by: CianS 21st April 2013, 03:12 PM
How about countries hosting their own sub contest in their countries thread?
So that people could vote for their favorite Kylienips track, or the ultimate Mdice track?
The mods could select a country that wants to participate and it could be something to do in between contests.
Voting would be voluntary of course.
Just a thought.
Posted by: 152chris 2nd May 2013, 12:17 AM
LESS THAN ONE MINUTE SPINOFF. soz for bombarding the wrong thread.
Posted by: Harve 2nd May 2013, 06:50 AM
To follow Silas' recommendation, I'll put my post here:
GOD YES. I have an entire ALBUM that takes you on a wonderful trip round the 80's/90's/early noughties and fits 325 noticeable samples in the space of an hour or something ridiculous like that?!
The first minute involves Kanye West vs Nirvana vs D12 vs Foo Fighters vs We Are Scientists, all simultaneously.
Posted by: 152chris 2nd May 2013, 07:05 AM
got the perfect one for that, too!
Posted by: Caveux 2nd May 2013, 07:37 AM
Cool, I'll add Cian's, Chris', Yu's + Harve's suggestions to the list for discush.
Posted by: ✖ leux ✖ 2nd May 2013, 08:32 AM

If you use that you're getting 12 points from Cadelicia
Posted by: popchartfreak 11th May 2013, 04:33 PM
I'd like the Halloween idea, Ive a great cheesy 70's record no-one's heard of I've been saving for October and anything that might give radio some ideas for extra records to play each year other than Ghostbusters, Thriller and Monster Mash is to be encouraged....
Posted by: Salt Without GMO 12th May 2013, 09:13 PM
Just in case it won't be lost:
I think we need a rule that UP songs shouldn't be entered! Maybe even to include the list of UP songs onto a BJSC thread "Songs of BJSC", just in different post.
Posted by: Bré 18th May 2013, 01:25 PM
If no one has suggested it already I think an instrumental spinoff would be fun.
Posted by: Cal 18th May 2013, 02:28 PM
Yep, I have that one added to the list already. If anybody has more suggestions, then please share! Everything suggested here is noted and will be discussed, so don't be shy. You can PM suggestions to us as well!
Posted by: Wall 18th May 2013, 02:33 PM
A UK artist only contest *.*
Posted by: Cal 18th May 2013, 02:39 PM
Oooh, nice one. Added!
Posted by: Silas 26th May 2013, 01:41 AM
I think we need a rule that UP songs shouldn't be entered! Maybe even to include the list of UP songs onto a BJSC thread "Songs of BJSC", just in different post.
Not everything that is entered into UP would be likely to do well in BJSC simply due to the differing make up of the voters. We do already look at whether or not a song has been entered into UP previously (and how it did) and then factor that into our decisions. We are still working on our new Veto Framework but some conditions surrounding UP have been proposed.
We won't be adding any UP related information into one of our Resource threads mainly because it is nothing to do with this contest and Unknown Pleasures has it's very own sub-forum where it has a complete list of its previous entries.

Intros and/or Outros as another idea for a potential spin-off? (and yes this is me just trying AGAIN to send Tulisa~)
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 22nd August 2013, 05:29 PM
i was thinking all-time dance anthems, but that might be a bit too vague........
Posted by: Silas 22nd August 2013, 05:34 PM
If you can sift through a list of entries and make a distinction between an all-time anthem and a dance track when you've got people who think their entry is an iconic anthem, then we'd have no problem at all adding that to our list.
Posted by: gooddelta 22nd August 2013, 05:38 PM
I'd still love to do a 'worst song spin off' where you give 12 points to your least favourite song etc, 10 points to the second worst etc...it would be quite amusing although I get that it would be time consuming to do that just to listen to a load of crap songs, but some people would probably find something that they like
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 22nd August 2013, 05:39 PM
yeah i could do that! total dance fanatic.
could even make some guidelines like any major dance song from the last century (most of them are classics and are notable, good chart position or not) and then maybe ones from the top 10 / 20 for this century? obvs with exceptions to the rule. maybe nothing from this decade either?
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 22nd August 2013, 05:40 PM
i have a song that could win that easily.
Posted by: Silas 22nd August 2013, 05:45 PM

If you can come up with a list of guidelines you're happy to enforce then we will help you do just that.
We'd quite like the host to effectively veto entries that don't fit into their guidelines. The aim for us is for it to be a more flexible and more involving part of BJSC that you guys can control and help shape. We are happy to provide support in any way we can, especially if you're not sure if something is eligible. If you get a backlash we'll stand by you and ensure everyone can come to a happy solution.

fabulous!
then yes i'd be up for doing that.
Posted by: Silas 22nd August 2013, 06:35 PM
Then I shall add Dance Anthems to our list!
Anyone else who is considering a sort of vague theme, take note of what Lew and I just discussed and if you find that you're happy, like Lew is, to make decisions on what side of the grey line things fall on then suggest away as the mods will stand by you. (Unless you've been a complete tit and excluded Delta Goodrem from BJSC Spin-Off: Australian Artists who've gone international. Then we'll have to pull our srs faces and demand you reinstate the goddess)

A thought just popped into my head
I'm not sure if it's already been done/suggested before but how about a one-off contest consisting of demo's/unreleased tracks?
Posted by: Silas 24th August 2013, 04:53 PM
So a demos/unreleased tracks spin-off? I'll add it to the list
Posted by: *Tim 24th August 2013, 04:56 PM
Yeah basicly. I think alot of hidden gems could be discovered plus I got a lot of amazing demo's
Posted by: LexC 25th August 2013, 02:48 PM
I know it's been done but a Non-English songs spin off would be nice!
Posted by: Cal 25th August 2013, 04:14 PM
Ooooh, that spin-off was actually amazing, so I'll add it to the list!
Posted by: Robot 16th October 2013, 09:46 PM
Been trying to get my voting history up to date ready to do my first update since 2010 I know it sounds like a really long shot as it's definitely time consuming but to have a thread with each of the scoreboards on (maybe even attached to the Songs Of titles for each thread, just an idea idk) might be useful for looking back with ease?
Posted by: Silas 16th October 2013, 10:01 PM
Something we're already discussing.
We have far too many pinned threads as it is, consolidation of those is something we're working on, so it would be integrated into the Songs Of Thread. Personally I think the most practical way to do it would be to have a link to the scoreboard images below the title and above the winner so
BJSC CLV \\ Morepth Cove, Ashton
Link to final scoreboard
Link to semi 1 scoreboard
Link to semi 2 scoreboard.
Final Results
SF1 DNQs
SF2 DNQs
---
I would quite like to combine some of the data from the threads of Interest into Songs of as well by linking to the Voting and Results threads too.
Currently our plan is to see the rest of the year through as is and once TBO has passed us we're going to undertake a review. We've had a substantial moderator change this year and we feel it's the right time to go through everything from top to tail. So before 61 we'll have a new set of pinned threads that are more consolidated and we'll be making a few additions/alterations/removals to the Rules and Veto Frameworks. The Veto Framework itself was pulled together quite quickly and now that we've lived with it for a few months we've seen some things that we need to address in it.
I'd heavily encourage people to use this space to make suggestions about the Rules and Veto framework. I don't want to change them often but an annual review could allow us to better keep with trends and changing tastes.
Posted by: Robot 16th October 2013, 10:20 PM
Yeah, the way you suggested is what I was saying - definitely a less cluttered way of doing it. There a lot of pinned threads but a lot of them are quite necessary
Although I'm not really sure of the point nor relevance of a BJSC map, but each to their own.
Posted by: Bra 16th October 2013, 10:26 PM
Excuse me the BJSC map is the most important part of BJSC!!!
Posted by: Bra 16th October 2013, 11:24 PM
Possibly interesting suggestion for an addition to the stats thread - a category for most cumulative 12s/votes received? As there are obviously stats there already for cumulative points and the total votes and total 12s are usually tracked in individual contests as well.
Posted by: 152chris 16th October 2013, 11:29 PM
0 veto points spinoff. NO room for cheapness whatsoever.
Posted by: Bra 16th October 2013, 11:50 PM
Kind of a shame this has to be a 'spinoff idea' and not just the way people participate anyway.
Posted by: Jáhq 17th October 2013, 10:26 AM
I think this is a great idea, I'm all for a spinoff where Aquafina have to sit out!!
Posted by: Silas 17th October 2013, 10:48 AM
I'd be well up for hosting that just so us mods can have a good laugh at some countries who are determined to send the cheapest thing the framework will allow struggle like hell to send something that would get 0 points.
Posted by: Ryan. 17th October 2013, 03:38 PM
One or two of the mods will be laughing at themselves as well then!
Posted by: Oricon 20th October 2013, 10:55 PM
I am perfectly capable of sending inspired K-Pop entries without having to result to Girls' Generation/2NE1 all the time thank you.
Posted by: jsg2013 29th October 2013, 10:09 PM
Can I make a suggestion? How about recycling songs is aloud, along as it didn't make the final and it's more than 5 contests old?
Posted by: Eyes 29th October 2013, 10:24 PM
Careful, Jsg, you may not know what you've walked into.
'So what's your entry this time?' 'Oh I'm sending Variation Of Birds, won't that be hilarious and completely original'
There are enough songs out there that we can comfortably not need repeats, even of flop DNQs years and years ago. It was sent, it was 'discovered', it flopped. Deal.
Besides, anyone who wasn't around for it will still know it when Reloaded finally gets around to that contest (still hoping that'll happen someday!)
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 30th October 2013, 05:06 AM
what about a remix contest? (i know i've already suggested the dance one but yanno)
Posted by: Queenderella 30th October 2013, 05:12 AM
Oh I don't listen to remixes almost AT ALL. I'd have to sit that one out I am afraid (unless the Purity Ring remix of Applause is allowed which it won't be so BYE).
And EYES. It's YOU who doesn't know what he's walked into!
Posted by: *Bré 30th October 2013, 12:46 PM
Feels like it's turning into a remix contest these days anyway. (obvz because of me and Chris starting the trend)
Posted by: Silas 2nd November 2013, 06:33 PM
*allowed.
No. There are just so many songs released daily that there is no need to repeat something that flopped in the first place. We're going to be firing up ReLOADED again soon so we'll be going through those old contests anyway. BJSC is about introducing people to new music. We don't mean new leaks but thing's they've never heard before. Recycling entries flies against that almost as much as sending Work Bitch does.

Posted by: Arrs 3rd November 2013, 10:32 AM
Maybe we'll do some kind of a spin-off in December when we don't have an actual contest? 0 veto points spin-off sounded great. Or mentioned novelty spin-off.
Posted by: Silas 3rd November 2013, 12:07 PM
We do have plans for spin offs that should actually happen before the end of the year. We've had a few chaotic months so are just settling down and sorting through stuff before we start picking things up again
Posted by: Silas 3rd November 2013, 07:24 PM
I understand It was only a wee suggestion Please don't take my post the wrong way. I was just fully explaining the reasoning behind why we would say no rather than just flatly turning it down.

Posted by: Decemeter 13th December 2013, 06:45 AM
Not sure if this has already been mentioned but we should have a spin-off where people send 'funny' songs.
And also a spin-off where, in a twist, the loser is the winner 
as in people send songs they think are terrible then people vote for their least favourites.
And a dance classics spin-off would be fabbbb!

Posted by: Silas 2nd February 2014, 09:37 PM
It seems to have been 'pending a new thread' for some time now.Yes, this week I hope as part of a fabulous new resource.
It was going to be launched when I closed the threads just the other week there (two weeks ago MAX so kindly shove the 'some time now..') but I decided to rewrite and reformat a huge swathe of it and that's taken a little longer than I had initially hoped it would.
Posted by: LeeWallacee 17th February 2014, 12:54 AM
I think maybe we should introduce...
Veto twice in one contest and banned.
Posted by: LexC 17th February 2014, 12:55 AM
Admirable that Lee of all people is suggesting this. I aggree but maybe push it to three times.
Posted by: LeeWallacee 17th February 2014, 01:03 AM
Supah inspired this month.
I think it would help a lot more inspired entries and I don't think I've ever been vetoed twice in the same contest.
Posted by: Vülker 17th February 2014, 01:06 AM
We should have a Spin-Off with all those vetoed entries...
Posted by: Arrs 17th February 2014, 08:23 AM
I'm thinking of a spin-off when we all send the songs "normally" e.g. with veto framework etc. but THEN after the final list is confirmed, all the entries are randomly swapped with other countries.
We'll get all the same songs but from different countries. Could be fun and inspire someone to a different direction in the future.
Or a contest when the countries are revealed after the final results.
Posted by: Ć 17th February 2014, 08:25 AM

I think it would help a lot more inspired entries and I don't think I've ever been vetoed twice in the same contest.
I think a permaban for being vetoed twice in a month sounds better...
I can't think of anything worse.
We'll get all the same songs but from different countries. Could be fun and inspire someone to a different direction in the future.
Or a contest when the countries are revealed after the final results.
I'll address your two suggestions separately.
1 - I'm not sure I entirely see the point of this if I'm honest. You'd end up with a contest of normal entries anyway and then have people really struggle to get behind the entry that they 'entered'. They could find something they liked but in theory that would happen anyway and they could be inspired in the course of a normal contest to go in a different direction.
2 - We've actually done this before! Well Technically the country reveal was before the final results. The contest I hosted, BJUSC XXIX "Buzzjack Unknown Song Contest", was the first after the big BJSC break/reset and our first with the veto. We kept the countries anonymous, at Tyron's insistence, so I gave everyone an alias name of a South-East Queensland town/Brisbane Sub-urb/City of Gold Coast Sub-urb. BJSC works better with countries out on display. We get more discussion of tracks that way and people aren't scared of accidentally revealing who they are during voting.
Thanks for the suggestions though Arrs!
I think so. Or at least in a similar fashion.

Sorry for the late replies to the below, I did semi acknowledge the first one but I want to give a full reply.
And also a spin-off where, in a twist, the loser is the winner
as in people send songs they think are terrible then people vote for their least favourites.And a dance classics spin-off would be fabbbb!
I'm not sure the bad songs spin-off would work particularly well with the contest's aim of introducing people to great new music. I'm willing to go with it if there is demand for it though.
More dance is a good thing!
You'll both be added to the list!

Posted by: AdamAloud 27th February 2014, 02:55 PM
For a spin-off how about everybody gets assigned a country at random and they have to send a song from that country i.e. I get assigned France so have to send a song by a French artist (not necessarily a French language song).
Posted by: LexC 27th February 2014, 03:01 PM
I take it this is where we sign up for the spinoff hosting? In wich case I kindly request I be added to the list (and I unkindly request you let me do my foreign language suggestion, I believe that in the wake of the semi thread it's especially relevant now!)
Posted by: Ryan. 27th February 2014, 03:36 PM
Love this idea! I believe this type of contest is done on a Eurovision forum I regularly read so I'd love to try it on here too!
Posted by: gooddelta 27th February 2014, 03:37 PM
We used to do that on CHC and it was always fun. I got Iceland and Malta the two times it was done, the latter was surprisingly hard to find a good non-Eurovision related song from!

i agree phil! i'd love that suggestion to be pushed asap
Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ 6th March 2014, 08:41 PM
one thing i would suggest is that when a song is vetoed, the point score is included alongside the targets it hit in the framework, with a small description of why (this information should already be available since you are discussing the entries and their targets anywho) to be sent out alongside the PM informing the person they have been vetoed. it means people can totally understand why the veto went forward, meaning there is less slanging matches in thread of 'omg WHY'
Posted by: Cal 6th March 2014, 08:54 PM
I think we used to do that for a little while but it didn't stop things from kicking off, but we have no problem trying it again if that's what people want.
Posted by: *Tim 6th March 2014, 08:56 PM
I'd definately say that would be an improvement to the contest. That's the ony thing I could think of as feedback
Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ 6th March 2014, 08:57 PM
i'm not sure what the reaction would be, but i know it would make the pain of getting vetoed a little easier for me! (says the person who has only been vetoed once due to sending an entry he knew had about 70 points oops)
Posted by: Ryan. 2nd April 2014, 05:03 PM
I'm a bit late replying but I agree with this!
Anyway, this is unrelated but any news on the re-opening of the country registration thread as it has been closed for a while now?
EDIT: Sorry, I've just read back and realised it is going to be part of the new resources thread. Any news on that?
Posted by: Silas 2nd April 2014, 10:42 PM
It'll be posted when I'm finally happy with it.
In the meantime, we're hardly crying out for new members so another couple of weeks won't hurt anyone given that we are operating on a 'you can start participating but you must sign up formerly when the new thread opens' basis right now. The original first draft was done in late 2013 and we've altered and reviewed the resources that make it up. Hence the new rules (which I have recently reformatted, and slightly reworded) and veto guidelines.
To give you all an idea of what I am doing, this is what is left to be done:
- Add links to every post - Well over 250 in total
- Finish the guide to participating
- Update the format of the veto framework
- Update of the Active countries list with links
- Finalise the list of resources to be merged into the CRC
- Final review of rules and guidance to ensure all is ok to go and make any updates as required
- Create an exciting new resource that will remain a secret until the CRC is revealed
For example, the Rules have been completely reformatted and made a lot easier to read and understand. It took a while to get the layout and content right. Here is a glimpse of what it now looks like:
Joining BJSC:
The Basics
- Members wishing to join the Buzzjack Song Contest may do so as soon as they join Buzzjack.com
- For the first 3 months after joining Buzzjack.com you may only take part in our spin offs. This is a measure aimed at preventing alias countries.
- After 3 months you may progress to the main contest.
To register, please see the post below this one or click here!
When registering we require the following information:
- A name for your nation
- A capital city
Please note
We take the creation of alias accounts seriously. If it is discovered you have used an alias to enter BJSC as a second nation, you will be permanently banned from BJSC. If you are discovered to have an alias on Buzzjack.com, but have not attempted to register for BJSC with it, you will receive a 6 month suspension from BJSC that will commence immediately following your site suspension.
There is a lot of work being done on this everyday but my CIMA qualification will always take precedence. If I work hard I will only need to sit two blocks of exams, one in May and another in November. Something that would be an incredible accomplishment. That demands a lot of hard work in addition to working full time so where I would have been able to get 3hrs of coding and writing in, I'm now only getting 30mins. This is my current revision distraction and it will be up soon. I just want it to match what I have in my head.
(The Spin-off CRC will be updated and reformatted to match the main CRC sometime in May/June after my exams)

Casually bumping this.
My exams are the 20th and 22nd of May. Ie next week. My current priority is passing these hugely important exams (they are worth a good 30-50k per year of a wage increase from where I am currently) and as of 5pm on a week tomorrow full time work will begin on the CRC to have it open in time for the next contest's confirmation period.
In summary, the answer remains a no Ryan for the previously and above detailed reasons.
Posted by: Ryan. 14th May 2014, 05:07 PM
The only reason I mention it as a few people have now been confused by the closed thread and it's not obvious that the answer will be found in here. But seeing as it's only a couple of weeks or so now until the new thread will be open then it's not a big issue and I'm looking forward to seeing all the work that has been done!

Posted by: Cal 8th June 2014, 12:51 PM
I have a few ideas of new 'events' that I'm going to run past the guys once I get back to civilisation, but I do remember discussing the Buzzjack Olympics before London 2012 (I think it was Ryan who PMd me about it?) but we decided against pushing it as it was pretty much a non-event because it wasn't interactive enough. I'd imagine it would be the same for a BJSC World Cup, but if a member is willing to take the time to run it themselves (as it's entirely decided by the host/random.org who wins each stage) then you're free to PM us with your idea/plan and we'll try to facilitate it as long as it doesn't majorly clash with other contests or events.

Posted by: Callum Sandford 30th June 2014, 01:56 PM
I just had an idea, it may be a little too much hassle though, but I'll share it anyway.
I was thinking that we could open up a thread dedicated to the countries in the BJSC. Each country could each have one post where they can list as much information on their countries as they so wish (flag, population, language etc).
EXAMPLE:
Country: Terra di Campioni
Capital: Spill Thity
Population: 24,500,674
Language: Campionish
National Dish: Biscuits ()
Flag:
I know it's mainly cosmetic but I thought it might be a bit of fun for everyone.

Posted by: Conderella 10th October 2014, 07:10 AM
We can make least favourite winner poll, aka the thing that has been viral over the last few months on Buzzjack Two groups of 30, and as soon as we reach Top 15/20 in both, we combine the remaining songs and continue until we have a WINNA. [50 is the max number of songs allowed for the poll so yeah]
Although I am afraid people will just eliminate all the winners they know first and leave boring how-the-hell-did-it-win stuff like NOT A LOVE SONG or ALL MY LIFE (you read that right, that was Rontvia shade) for the Top 20.
Posted by: ►▲N 10th October 2014, 04:25 PM
a least favourite BJSC winner poll must happen!
two separate polls one for 1 to 35 and 36 to 70 or whatever
All My Life was not a shit winner by the way
Posted by: { bré } 10th October 2014, 04:35 PM
Maybe it'd be better to do a 'least favourite 2014 top 5 hit' poll so all the songs will be relatively fresh in (most) people's memories ~
(this may or may not be an idea I was planning to do anyway)
Posted by: Ryan. 30th December 2014, 03:57 PM
A little suggestion here if that's ok. Basically it seems people don't know whether to post new country registrations in the registration thread or the BJSC world. This may be because of the subtitle on the registration thread but even so wouldn't it make sense to combine the two?
Basically, there is a spare post below the BJSC World maps in the BJSC World thread. Couldn't you move the BJSC World maps down to that second post, and then copy the Registration rules from the Registration thread into the first post in BJSC World? Then that thread alone could be used to house all registrations as well as immediately encourage them to choose a BJSC world map territory instead of getting Bré posting "remember to visit the BJSC World map thread" each time somebody registers in the other thread.
Then simply rename the topic "Join the BJSC World!" with the subtitle "register here and choose your territory" or something like that. I thought that'd make sense to streamline the process as well as cut down on the number of stickied topics.

Im not quite sure if you do this but I was thinking someone (host) creating a playlist in YT to house all the songs for semis and finals instead of individual links, can still type all the songs and info but maybe adding a link to a YT playlist underneath or something This might help the people who are voting and can listen to the songs more easily
Posted by: M¤th 8th January 2015, 08:19 PM

Posted by: *Tim 8th January 2015, 08:33 PM
Not all songs are on youtube tho, so that might be a problem
Posted by: ˇbré! 10th January 2015, 11:41 PM
If this is still happening, is it going to be a new thread or just re-appropriating the existing BJSC World thread? The former would make more sense as the current world map thread has loads of people posting the world map part but not registering so it may be a little confusing.
(also I get bored of using the same old thread for things for ages, hence me having about 4 generations of my national thread
Though if it is a new thread I guess I'd lose ownership of it anyway).
Posted by: Silas 10th January 2015, 11:50 PM
Former.
When it happens I'll PM you to get you to post a 'blank' post in BJSC that I will then move into the new thread in the staff forum and copy in the latest version of the world map post.
That way you'll still have ownership of the map post that you can update as required.

I know a couple of other people have responded to you with basically what I'm going to say but the entire point of this thread is for y'all to post suggestions and stuff for the mods and to hear back from us so I'm going to go ahead and say it anyway.
This is a fabulous idea and one that would have been so much easier to implement when this contest started. Now, with the DCMA bullshit and all the copyright claims crap on youtube it's often the case that the song you want isn't actually on youtube. Sometimes Soundcloud or the very copyright lax Dailymotion is the only places to get it. This means we'd have incomplete playlists which isn't fair on those who can't get a youtube link for their entries.
Great idea, and if the stars aligned all the songs in a semi or final were on youtube then I would encourage it but I'm realistic about the fact that it doesn't happen as often as it used to.
Posted by: ETH▲N 4th March 2015, 06:30 PM
Could the semi-finals and finals potentially be hosted live on plug.dj (since you can create playlists from youtube and soundcloud)?

I was thinking could we use the Spin Off forum to host various rates e.g. BJSC Winners Rate, All [x country] Entries Rate?, it's about time rates made the BJSC forum and I'm sure people could get down with that alongside formal contests.
Posted by: Wall-e 11th March 2015, 12:22 AM
I've mentioned this to multiple people and they seem to think it's a great idea and it would be a brilliant amount of fun. It would be like a special BJSC where each country can send one song that they've sent to BJSC in the last 12-24 months with winners excluded.
I think it would be great fun and it would be such an unpredictable list being presented. We could end up with
Ashton: Tone Damli!
Aquafina: Lune- Leave The World Behind
Bignia - Katy Tiz - Red Cup
It would be a great amount of fun!
Posted by: Silas 25th March 2015, 08:30 PM
The only potential issue is where we have songs that aren't on either of those two sources thus there may be chances where the whole contest can't be played on plug.dj.
Should the entire contest be on those two sites, then I'm certainly not going to stand in the way of a host holding a plug.dj night to play through the whole contest. However it's not something, at this time, that we'd be looking to make into an official BJSC decree like mp3 packs and links to youtube/soundcloud/dailymotion et al. You're more than welcome to try it out and let us know how it works out and how many BJSC people were involved. If the level of interest/participation from BJSC members on these BJSC nights becomes significant then I will happily reconsider my stance and look at ways that we can make it part of the official BJSC experience.
Posted by: Silas 25th March 2015, 08:36 PM

Thanks very much for replying Phil!
I do agree that the timescale could be one of the main difficulties as I fully believe this could be an incredibly successful contest so ideally it wouldn't be too rushed. I agree regarding excluding the last 12 months for countries that have been around longer than 12 months tbh.
I would be open to help out or whatever I just think it's a nice way for all nations to celebrate BJSC but it could be a problem if certain countries have to listen to two BJSC contests in a month.

By timescale I meant the whole 12 month thing! Eeek! My bad.
I'm thinking about where we could squeeze it in but it could probably be something that we overlap with another contest without too much hassle. Do confirmations during a final, voting during the week break and real confirmations.
The whole listening to two songs thing shouldn't be too much of an issue as in theory a lot of people would have heard your entry before.
Could maybe start this at the end of LXXIV.

Posted by: Conderella 7th May 2015, 11:22 AM
since my last suggestion was painfully ignored i'm gonna make another one.
Can we abolish the switching between voting systems please? If we had 50 songs in the final, fair play, but with 40 it's really not worth it. Either move it up in the semifinals or down in the final really. Does ANY contest EVER have different voting systems? It's bordering on UNETHICAL tbh
Posted by: Martyn 7th May 2015, 11:27 AM
I don't know if this has been suggested before, but with so many entries, e.g. 70. Would it not be better to have 3 semi finals, 2x23 and 1x24 or something similar, with between 10-12 going through from each so we have a final of 30-36?
Posted by: Conderella 7th May 2015, 11:39 AM
The wrong semi curse. I think it's been covered before. With 3 Semifinals there's a far bigger chance of you not qualifying due to being put into 'wrong' semi.

I wouldn't mind changing it to the 18 point system in the semis, after all 34 songs is not much less than 40/41. Might make the results from the semi a bit more indicative of the final results as well.
(would need to implement this change pretty quickly if it's going to happen tho)
Posted by: Silas 7th May 2015, 04:41 PM
To repeat what was said about a fortnight ago at the end of the last contest: We will not be making any changes to voting systems for a couple of months to allow people to get used to this one. Then we will review, everyone will have their chance to have their say, and then we will go from there.
Posted by: 'Dan 7th May 2015, 04:44 PM
3 semis gets a huge NO from me.
I would like to see the 18 point system in the semi finals as well though, there's 35 entries in the semis now that's not much of a difference from the 41 that are in the final.
The maths bit:
10/35 = 28.6% ;; 15/35 = 42.9%
10/41 = 24.4% ;; 15/41 = 36.6%
which in short means the percentage difference of songs you vote for from semi to final is less if both rounds use the same voting system, which proves bré's point. plus it would also be less confusing for newer members.

Posted by: Lindsey ♌ 31st May 2015, 10:15 PM
This is probably been suggested before, or something similar has been but I'm going to make this post anyway in the hope it hasn't 
What if we had themed spin-offs, like one contest would be rock themed whilst the next could be power ballads etc? Maybe even if the format was the same as the usual BJSC one where there are two semis, one semi could consist of one theme whilst the other's a contrasting one or even having four heats like BJFest, each being a different theme so there is still diversity. It would be interesting to say the least and force people to venture out of the comfort zone of their usual genre, there's nothing to say the theme has to be genre based either, it could be anything from countries to lyrics, there's a lot of possibilities
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 1st June 2015, 05:18 PM
How about a "what would you have sent if you were in a past contest" type of spin-off? I'm pretty sure we've all had that one potential we've wanted to send to one contest but it didn't fit the bill.

Great idea Lindsey!
(Although after listening to 42 power ballads I might kill myself.) BUT I do like the basics of your idea! How about a spinoff similar to BJFest where there would be different genres/themes fighting for a place in the final? There could be small group of ballad / foreign language / rock / lyrics-based / etc. entries and the participating countries would be divided into groups/assigned their theme/genre AFTER reserving a place in the contest (random.org, etc). After having the all the participants, there could be a short 'ceremony' where the topics and the groups are announced, then the countries had same days to find the perfect entry.I know that the final itself wouldn't be that special, but the entries/qualifiers would make the whole contest really interesting, noone would be really safe.
I would also love to see some countries' choices, I'm sure all of us could get into a group where we would struggle, but hey, a win/qualification with a genre you're not that familiar with would feel great! Let's face it, many countries are quite lazy to think outside the box, a contest like this would shake things up a little bit.

Yea that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking, it could also have a positive impact on the usual BuzzJack Song Contest if someone wins this spin-off with a song that was completely different to what they'd usually enter, they might think oh that type of song worked in the spin-off, maybe it will do well in the main contest
The 4 themes could always be determined before people are designated a heat/semi so they have time to look for at least one potential for each genre, so they are somewhat prepared for whatever one they're placed in

3 Semi's is not something I particularly wish to happen. Much prefer the current 2 semi system. Not going to say never because the contest is continually growing.
We do already run themed spin-off's (90's dance, foreign language etc) but having more than one theme isn't something we've had yet. I see no reason why we couldn't though.
What would you send to your 100th contest & someone else's entry are both good by me.
The contest is so large that the only mandatory part of the contest will remain Confirmation/Semi's/Final. MP3's/Recaps/Artists Parade et al all remain voluntary as some have more available time than others.

Posted by: Silas 5th July 2015, 09:27 PM
The 1BF points system (18pts system) comes into play at two points currently:
40 or less participants - 18pts System & One Big Final. (Although this quickly turns into the ESC system & 1BF)
60 or more participants - 18pts System & Expanded Final.
This will all be firmed up later this month.

So I just had an idea for a spinoff just now. But it isn't a song contest but rather a video clip contest. We could send video clips from YouTube and rate each other on how good or funny they are. And the only veto I think would be based on millions of views, probably 10 or something. Anyone else interested?

Yes and it's impossible to move posts from the end of the thread to the start of the thread. The Invision+ system, nor any other forum system, does not allow it as threads are built upon date/time information not moderators dragging and dropping post order as they please.
Posted by: JosephStyles 10th July 2016, 01:30 PM
With the upcoming veto framework modification as mentioned in the confirmations thread, I thought I'd just pop this in here. I personally think it'd be good to see the Capital FM playlist treated the same as the Radio 1 playlist, both reach really wide audiences and are both essential in terms of making hits, so if a song appears on Capital's playlist, it's got a strong chance of becoming a future hit (if not guaranteed). Case in point: the Bob Sinclar song that's been vetoed this month features on the playlist but of course got 0 points for it as it's not on the framework (I mean it got vetoed anyway but not every Capital-playlisted song will have international chart positions or a well-known sample to bring it to veto discussion). Is this something that could maybe be considered?
Posted by: Silas 10th July 2016, 02:55 PM
Great suggestion! Thanks! Capital FM have been growing in reach these past few years so they have become something worth considering for sure
Posted by: danG 10th July 2016, 03:11 PM
Being in the Spotify Global chart should count for something too, or otherwise we'll see more entries like 'The Ocean' sail through only to become UK hits a few months later.

Posted by: princess_lotti 10th July 2016, 05:34 PM
this isn't a personal attack AT ALL before anybody comes at me however i've been feeling for quite some time that there is a gap between the mods and the members of bjsc. to be honest yes this is a problem for me with some of the other mods more than others. lew frequents plug quite a lot and i see him more actively taking a role and due to that as a participant i find him a lot more approachable about bjsc stuff, however i feel like i never see yu and jahq getting involved publicly at all??? of course i don't know how much work they put behind the scenes and i'm not trying to accuse them of not doing anything in the slightest i'm just saying as a participant this is how i feel, and imo the mods should be people who really do get stuck in and involved publicly. all the different dramas etc over the last couple months has been kinda exhausting and i feel a lot more could've been done to prevent it, i feel like a lot more transparency is needed to keep this a fun community game. i like how in the spin offs more people get involved with the process and i think this is a good step in providing more of a link between the mods and the people, could i maybe suggest the mods find more way to incorporate this into the main contest? these kind of mods vs the whole of buzzjack disputes can't really be fun for anybody surely??
Posted by: Cucumberella 10th July 2016, 05:37 PM
i'm a big believer in transparency (i work in an environment where it's necessary) so i think that's a good criticism. i'm glad you feel that you can approach me because i am trying - i think the other mods are just as approachable in spirit but not as active as posters which maybe causes a disconnect - naturally we can't force the mods to post or integrate more (they have their own lives to lead) but i'm sure i speak on behalf of them that if there was any queries or questions they'd be happy to field them for you.
Posted by: princess_lotti 10th July 2016, 05:40 PM
yes i do realise that real life is always more important (i rlly do want to reiterate the fact this is not a personal attack) and hopefully after all of this has blown over maybe it could be encouraged for people to post more of what they're really feeling in threads like this so there could be more discussion between the mods andd ppl?? maybe that way we could avoid drama too
Posted by: Oricon 10th July 2016, 05:44 PM
I'm used to the criticisms I get in which I do absolutely nothing so it doesn't shock me at all if anyone feels that way anymore. I completely agree that everything should be more transparent as lew have said, but I believe that the blame lies not so much in that we don't contribute publicly but more so that other members integrate with other sections of associated with this site either on or off, thus are seen as more approachable. Another reason is that both Jack and myself at times work and if there's an issue, by the time we have free time to even read as to what it is our other co-moderators have already responded. You simply do not need to have all moderators answering back the same response in regards to one issue imo.
Posted by: Cucumberella 10th July 2016, 05:46 PM
just to be clear both jahq and yu do help out month on month but because they don't really spend a lot of time on buzzjack usually when they're online it's one of the only things they'll do, doesn't mean it isn't being done tho!!! #shoutout2magirls
Posted by: Oricon 10th July 2016, 05:48 PM
I'm going to admit the past 2-3 months I haven't contributed as much as what I'd like to due to a range of factors being final year university in addition to work, followed by a vacation/visit to a family relative and then another family issue which have arouse suddenly. This isn't to say I don't contribute actively previously at all!
Posted by: princess_lotti 10th July 2016, 05:49 PM
i am appreciating these responses but yeah to repeat my point earlier it's not so much that i don't believe some mods aren't doing anything, in an ideal world it just would be nice for it to be more evident. for that tho i don't really have any suggestions other than maybe letting the host be involved in the veto process so more people can see what goes on??? :')
edit: and maybe half if this is coming for the fact i'm relatively new to bjsc still (i think i'm approaching my 10th contest??? ) but i've said what i have to say now and hopefully this can be rectified fo the future :')
Posted by: #BJSCSLAYERRRRRR 10th July 2016, 05:50 PM
I actually don't think much needs to be done in regards to actual playing of entries on Plug, but maybe some all-round more secrecy if you want to tighten the rules in this regard, and have people only allowed to consult a certain number of people (though this would be difficult to enforce and would prejudice those on Plug, rabb.it etc vs. those who use PM). You could also ask people not to talk about 'potenshes' so obviously when playing them, etc, but this is a fun competition and I think being too strict about it could potentially make us lose sight of that.
Meanwhile, in regards to the current situation, in order to preserve the integrity of the veto system it is important not to foster an 'us and them' mentality, whether intentional or not. Therefore, I would recommend entries like Tim's, etc, to be allowed through, after having drawn attention to the point the mods now wish to underline; and from there, have this rule enforced more stringently following an update of the Rules and a PSA. I think this will help foster better feeling and less animosity between people and strengthen the integrity of the system; all the rules will be there in black and white, with suspension/ vetoes etc happening retrospective to their underlining.
Just me 2cence!

Posted by: Silas 10th July 2016, 06:05 PM
I know what you mean Lotti and the word has been thrown back at us quite a lot today, sometimes with quite a lot of hostility. There is a lot of improvement to be made by us as a team, and we will keep working on it. I think that we have got better, for example the research published in full for every track that we veto. It's not something that has always been done.
I think there are a lot of things we can learn from with the spin-offs, but the size difference means it's not as easy for everything to translate and the much stricter veto process also runs into some problems.
I really want to bridge this gap, because I too have felt it, and really work together to build our community.
Posted by: *Tim 10th July 2016, 06:06 PM
Another small thing that has on my mind, how about a veto thread? Where the vetoed tracks are stalled so they wont be entered like 3 times in a row?
Posted by: Oricon 10th July 2016, 06:08 PM
That is a good suggestion Tim and I think we have discussed this amongst ourselves before, so watch the space as such thread might exist in the future!
Posted by: Silas 10th July 2016, 06:18 PM
We have a thread in the mod forum, not sure if it's still missing a chunk or not, that goes all the way back to the first vetoed song.
Once we complete it we can certainly duplicate it in here.

I think we're going to hit all of the points you've raised in your first paragraph with the PSA and the new rules.
I think that will most certainly be the aim going forwards. The 4th framework will round it all out and will give us a solid, black and white, base to work from in order to kill off the 'us vs them' mentality once and for all.

Posted by: M. 20th January 2018, 11:51 AM
This isn't that important but I've been thinking about it and thought it was worth a shot asking here haha. Am I correct in thinking that generally, people aren't allowed to change their votes after they have already sent them, unless they made a scoring error, for instance skipping a 3-pointer or whatever (and I'm aware that even in situations like that, the host can just move the songs down a place or whatnot)? I remember in like 2008, when I was first starting out in the contest, I asked the host if I could change votes cos I forgot to vote for one track, and I was allowed to re-send. Maybe it was different back then but I'm not sure if there is any guideline in place about it?
I know that it's the person's own fault, and allowing people to change votes even just once might make things messier for the host but let's say if someone genuinely forgets about one song...? I've seen this happen to people. And to speak for myself, in Andra Chansen there is one song that I just kinda brushed over in my voting process that, very soon after voting, became a major contender to be in my top 3! Again, not that important but just thought I'd at least ask.

Yo yo!
What are y'all's thoughts on us having a pinned thread of all winners?
e.g. Country Name | Artist | Track | Link
(maybe points number &/ number of entrants that contest if anyone fancied collating that info)
