June 30, 20169 yr yep, I'm sure Ramrynia's entry would have finished top 20 at least if it had qualified, reminds me of '4 Walls' DNQing last year which surely would've gone top 10(?) Guess we'll never know. maybe we should put all the countries that usually vote for each other in the same semi so there's less chance of a 'wrong-semi' effect, though I understand that would be difficult for the host. I know I was very lucky to have all my fans in my semi this month. I don't think that's a solution, as you'd just end up with a pop semi and a dance semi, with the middle ground countries that usually send alternative or slightly harder or different stuff split between the two to make up the numbers. The semis would end up possibly quite bland and samey, and the middle ground countries would face an uphill struggle trying to get substantial votes off either of the two main genre camps. I think it's come up time and time again and we figured that there isn't really a way around the wrong semi effect but yes, pretty certain Ramrynia would have been a very comfortable qualifier in Semi 1, along with Avalonia and a few others, not that there's any way to prove it.
June 30, 20169 yr oh my GOD i've never been happier w 3rd after being about 20th for 90% of the results !!! semi projections would be a mess the month im meant to win eh!
June 30, 20169 yr Congrats to Michael! :) and Mdh for doing so well too! I should be back next contest!

I know I was very lucky to have all my fans in my semi this month. Well I would love that personally :heehee: but I do like the idea of variety in genre and there's always a chance that there's some songs in in a genre outside of my usual fave (dance) that I would want to point, that may end up DNQing had it been in the other semi. Only just scraping a Q tho :no:
June 30, 20169 yr As Rich said, that'd advantage the bigger blocs no end and disadvantage those of us who don't send pop or dance, it'd just make it even more likely that those deep in the blocs wouldn't vote for any of the less normal entries. There's a reason why Eurovision doesn't have a former-Soviet semi and a former-Yugoslav semi, to use an example, rather they split those camps evenly between the semis with their pots. I believe we tried makeshift semi pots along those lines at one point in the past and while it may be fun for hosts with a bit of extra time on their hands it didn't have any noticeable difference to randomised semis so we didn't make it a thing.
June 30, 20169 yr Ghosty spent some time working it out and there was a contest where we experimented on y'all without y'all knowledge and manipulated the semi-final split. Made shite all difference really i doubt it's worth revisiting and I'm so firmly against bloc semis I can't put into words just how against it i am

June 30, 20169 yr It's not being taken lightly in Ashton! Freeze is more than generous enough with his support to get our name right :kink: :P
June 30, 20169 yr Very happy to see Beaverdonia get their first win! And what a song to do it with! A bit upset I booted myself out of the top 10 by pointing Bellamia but whatever. There goes my streak :(
June 30, 20169 yr Don't suppose anyone can confirm the nationality of Bang La Decks for me for stats purposes? Google suggests they may possibly be Greek but it could also just be that they are successful there and not actually from there. EDIT: Rob informs me they are indeed Greek making them our first Greek winners!
June 30, 20169 yr Oops I would've been 7th had I voted. But sorry ladies I'm in Madrid and don't give any shits Besides a contest in Bieberdonia is bound to be a disaster
June 30, 20169 yr However, oh my god at the amount of big pointses I received :wub: thanks y'all. You all knew I was a hoe but you still wasted your 18 points~
June 30, 20169 yr Well done Michael on winning, so well deserved :heart: :heart: Really hyped for next month *.* (Now I just need to find an entry!)

I'm also happy with 20th but still just want a top 10! Us two combined must not have about over 10 top 20 entries and still no top 10's! :lol: Let's hope next month we can finally sneak in there *.*
June 30, 20169 yr Author I've just opened up the final spreadsheet for access, I've done it not in the usual format so I'll just let it be viewed rather than try and fit it to a screenshot :lol: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FfX...MqLM/edit#gid=0 (all sorted with the minor errors fixed up too :kink:
