March 3, 20169 yr I agree with Tim ~ Rejecting Ethan's entry despite him sending in all the relevant information when this was just a test run of the new system is just begging for drama for the sake of drama. If you want to tell Ethan that if he does this in future it won't be accepted, then fine. But it doesn't look like it was adequately communicated to him that it was gonna be rejected this time? #BringBackJoedonia #BringBackEthanola
March 3, 20169 yr I kinda agree that the mods should've been more lenient on Ethan this time (seeing as this was the "debut" of the Google method and it wasn't stated as a requirement in the opening post) Although that "PM" Ethan quoted is another thing, was that actually the full PM? :unsure: Not saying it wasn't but I tend to think more of Jack than to treat this situation with such intransigence (*.*) so I won't pick a side on that just yet x
March 3, 20169 yr Hold off on voting for now guys, just re-discussing/clearing up a couple of things and we'll get back to you shortly!

March 3, 20169 yr As I said, this is what I assumed but I have no idea of private PMs so I don't know exactly what has been asked. That was seemingly poor wording admittedly, but my assumption was you'd been asked via multiple methods to use the form and you still didn't and if that's not the case then maybe Jack can shed some light on it. I am not being disingenuous at all, my point is that if everyone uses this form it will save hours of time for a host as they won't have to manually make the spreadsheets as previously was the case and that still stands. Of course adding one entry manually doesn't take hours, but I don't understand why it was so difficult for you to spend a couple of minutes to sort out a Google Account as 35+ other people were able to? But as I say, let's wait for Jack as he will know the full ins and outs of this whereas I'm just making assumptions that may be incorrect! a cryptic crossword clue and a post in a thread i had no reason to read again, in no way constitutes 'being asked via multiple methods to use the form'... i think the assumption can be categorically dismissed as fictitious~ i sent the confirmation on friday evening, a couple of hours before the deadline, on the way out for a night out and simply didn’t have time to mess around~ i honestly cannot fathom why one last minute entry could not be accommodated during what was billed as a trial run of the new form system ~ it would take all of one minute to manually add 1 row x column to the spreadsheet! to then be excluded from the contest without any kind of fair warning is preposterous in my humble opinion~
March 3, 20169 yr I'm not being funny but you are coming off as rather pathetic yourself here Ethan. I confirmed three different songs with the form so I fail to see how you couldn't use the form in the first place. It takes just as much time as filling out a PM. ALSO they didn't say anything about adding hours of time but it makes sense to have all the confirmations coming from one place rather than a few posters doing it via pm and then a few posters doing it via the Form. That would just be a pain. Get that stick out your ass and get ready for your own BJSC contest and forget about this one since its already started. !! my god the mask has slipped :P :lol:
March 3, 20169 yr yup, it was never made clear that entries would not be accepted if you didn't use google forms for this contest so it seems ridiculous to reject Ethan's entry on the basis of that :wacko:
March 4, 20169 yr Hold off on voting for now guys, just re-discussing/clearing up a couple of things and we'll get back to you shortly! Is Joedonia back ? :D
March 4, 20169 yr As long as Rich is happy I'm fine with that decision! They're pretty different genre wise too tbh, and like I mentioned earlier they are still even different languages! :) Yeah I'm more than happy with that, like you say the songs aren't that similar at all despite both featuring Franka and being from the same film. Hopefully this raises awareness for the fantastic film at the very least!
March 4, 20169 yr Just to confirm what has been decided last night, Ethanola will be reinstated due to miscommunication and we apologise for not making our desires as clear as they should've been however as Silas has posted in the main forum, no PM confirmations will be accepted in any future BJSC contests. Joe we can't reinstate you as you've still entered a song that has been in BJSC before. I, or Jack if he comes online in time, will be finalising the songlist in the first post at 1.30pm, so Joe if you can PM me a replacement entry before then we can add you back in. :D And thank you Lotti and Rich!
March 4, 20169 yr Okay, original post now updated with new entries from Joedonia (randomly drawn in slot #3) and Ethanola (randomly drawn in slot #32). So if you have already started listening, make sure you check those entries out also. You can now send votes to Jack, and voting will close on March 10th at 23:59 GMT unless you hear otherwise.
March 4, 20169 yr Thanks Ryan! Maroon 5 haters of Buzzjack that don't know Lost Stars, please go in with an open mind, it's a beautiful, Oscar nominated song and a momentous moment in a great film :D Joedonia back B-)
