March 19, 201213 yr Damn it, I lost the tie. I'm 9th. (Actually had to manually count them :drama: ) My super pretty 8-DNQ-8-8-DNQ-9 run is now ruined :(

March 19, 201213 yr It's the lowest scoring winner since Riverside, but that had about ten fewer countries in the contest...
March 19, 201213 yr Active Child is actually #21. After you round up the score to 64, number of votes decide that it needs to be above Ramrynia.

March 19, 201213 yr Author Active Child is actually #21. After you round up the score to 64, number of votes decide that it needs to be above Ramrynia. I didn't think it was fair to round it up when it mathematically received a lower score... however I'm not particularly fussed either way if the mods choose to document them the other way around.
March 19, 201213 yr If we were always rounding up then surely suddenly not doing it wouldn't make much sense?
March 19, 201213 yr Dandy* is a LAW UNTO HIMSELF. Let us shut up and be grateful for pretty graphics, it's more than we normally get.
March 19, 201213 yr Author It's the lowest scoring winner since Riverside, but that had about ten fewer countries in the contest... The votes were incredibly split throughout, I can't recall a contest quite so evenly matched - not sure if that's a good or bad thing though. It was the same in the semis, both yourself and Gooddelta were looking like easy DNQs until the final three or four votes.

March 19, 201213 yr Author What an event that would've been! I'd have almost preferred that! Part of me was gutted as it would have been such a joy to reveal the results to be that shocking! :D
March 19, 201213 yr Dandy* is a LAW UNTO HIMSELF. Let us shut up and be grateful for pretty graphics, it's more than we normally get. BITCH PLEASE.
March 19, 201213 yr BITCH PLEASE. Ha! :D Well... I didn't say anything at the time (as it would've looked really really ungrateful and sniping when you were having your moment as you clearly had been waiting and had put a lot into it, and it was really nice to see someone put an effort in as it's more than most do!) but I thought the ideas for your thread design worked better than how they ended up in practice! I did really like how it worked in the results with the flags for who got 12 and who was voting etc., but I thought the lay-out for the voting threads looked really blocky and didn't work too well design-wise, and that the use of just '-' as a thread divider without mixing it up a bit with fonts or different colours if you were going for a creative look didn't work too well either. Sorry! :( I do still think you were easily one of the best hosts we've had! (But that aside, it's safe to say it's still more than we normally get given only yourself and Dandy* have really put in an effort graphically in recent times!)
March 19, 201213 yr Author I deliberately made this one very different to Freeze's contest. The Greenfroze contest was all about setting up an idea of what the contest was like and building a picture in your head of the venue and the individual country identities - I imagine it took a lot of effort considering this one took hours and hours and hours and his content was far more in depth. I knew I could never match that so I just went for some PNGs. :D Good luck with the next contest Addy though, I know you've been entering BJSC for some time now so I'm sure you'll be fine.
March 19, 201213 yr You had 95 points when you finished 12th actually :o You are, of course, correct. It was Florrie and Monarchy wot got 93.
March 19, 201213 yr it seems in my semi final, I got pretty much only mid table votes pretty much from everyone who voted but still finished quite high :o
March 19, 201213 yr Author Can I just add that I'm due a poor result next contest, my current run stands at: 05 • 07 • DNQ • 09 • 05 • 21 • 01 • 07 It seems to go 2 good, 1 bad, 2 good, 1 bad etc.
March 19, 201213 yr Ha! :D Well... I didn't say anything at the time (as it would've looked really really ungrateful and sniping when you were having your moment as you clearly had been waiting and had put a lot into it, and it was really nice to see someone put an effort in as it's more than most do!) but I thought the ideas for your thread design worked better than how they ended up in practice!

Sorry! :( I do still think you were easily one of the best hosts we've had! (But that aside, it's safe to say it's still more than we normally get given only yourself and Dandy* have really put in an effort graphically in recent times!) I actually see what you mean by that. I worked too hard on the concept and on the different ideas I had, I kind of de-prioritized detailed thread lay-out/design. But even so and having said that, had I done MORE colours and varied fonting it would've been a little bit too much, given everything else there present in the threads, so by making it simpler in that sense, the overall look sees a balance. That's what I though, and I think it looked fairly nice like that, but I can definitely understand where you're coming from! (And thanks, btw!)
March 19, 201213 yr Max Barskih just made it to the Final! :o Thanks for all the votes, especially the 12 pointers (loved the wording of it too Tirren!!). Sorry for breaking your 08-DNQ-08 run Pavel, but this 8th place just sealed the decision on Letland's next entry! :wub: Also, my top two coming 20th and 21st :) And congrats to Botannika on their first win! Thank YOU Dandy* for an absolute wonder of a contest! [svetlana]You are the best![/svetlana] Edited March 19, 201213 yr by MelodiVÜLKivalen
