April 14, 201510 yr To be honest KYA and Reigan are the only one of my entries since L I'd say are among my favourites of mine, so it's not too much of a loss for me that we can't send new stuff (wouldn't bother with the latter again anyway given its floppage!!). Probably going to be one of my best performing entries or a criminal DNQ for me, hmm.

April 14, 201510 yr Billy The Kid + Monster (Eat Me!) tho.. YES - Liam you MUST send Billy the Kid! ALL THE POINTS :wub:

April 14, 201510 yr Actually as has been pointed out ~ the jump to 24 banned at the end is a bit inconsistent with the rest and means some countries still have more than 50% of their entries banned. I would say to change that to 18?
April 14, 201510 yr Author Ok, so I've edited those new rules into the opening post and have left the ability for the LXXIV debutants to send something new should they wish (because that feels fair to me, and allows for new discoveries) At 10pm i'm going to give this thread a spring clean and siphon things out into a locked rules debate thread.
April 14, 201510 yr This all looks pretty good now! :D Actually as has been pointed out ~ the jump to 24 banned at the end is a bit inconsistent with the rest and means some countries still have more than 50% of their entries banned. I would say to change that to 18? Oh yes, Ramrynia lose out quite a bit here. We only get to choose from about a third of our entries with our last 24 not allowed!

I would say to change that to 18? Not really keen on that as I'm trying to keep as much of the past 2 years out as possible. What if I change the over 35 category into: 36-38 - 18 39-41 - 20 41-43 - 22 44+ - 24 I swear to god if you've just unleashed one of the trinity of abysmal Ramrynia entries from LI-LIII on us...
April 14, 201510 yr well there's going to be a bit of an underperfomance for Danaelanda here if I can't send anything after I stopped flopping massively :thinking: I literally only qualified three times prior to 2013 :lol: and missed the top half with all three, oops. Will have to get thinking on what flop to send then :magic:

Yes that looks good! I would say then to go with this and then if there are any awkward cases left over for any reason they can be assessed individually. I completely get and agree with the idea of keeping recent entries out as much as possible and there isn't a single 100% agreeable way to do this but this seems like a fair enough solution. Additional rule: Ramrynia banned from entering. (I confirmed a while ago by the way, my entry was fine under all the suggested rules :magic: I'm sending a song which originally DNQed but I've always thought was ahead of its time and have wanted to give it another shot so it was a bit of a no-brainer ~)

That's perfect, everyone's on exactly the same playing field then - I think a certain Daehun will be very happy! Haha you'll have to wait and see! :D
April 14, 201510 yr Sending Tito El Bambino because y'all were crazy letting it only get 13 points in the semi first time around. :rolleyes:

Does this mean I'm in the 36-38 zone, as I'm on my 36th entry, or does this count contests I missed too? (in which case I'd be in the 39-41 zone as I went on hiatus for 4 contests near the start of my run)
April 14, 201510 yr Author If even Ryan is happy then we're done discussing this :lol: After all of this, I'm still left with 49 entries to chose from (50 - Molly) and no idea what direction to go in.

(in which case I'd be in the 39-41 zone as I went on hiatus for 4 contests near the start of my run) It's since your debut. I will happily chat about the 2 affected entries if you've got a pretty strong reason to enter one of them.
