July 31, 20168 yr the thing with the reveal is that it only works well in quite specific situations. i luv it but only when it's genuinely close at the top
July 31, 20168 yr I'm still not really sold on this system anyway, as Rob said the excitement does kind of start to die down once you're out in the second section. Not that this doesn't happen at all with the current system, but there is at least the hope of a last minute recovery, which isn't the case with this system. It is still quite exciting in its own way though.

I never thought anything could top the original, and I'm not saying this has but it's at least equalled Coldplay, with Pendulum truly stamping their iconic sound on the song. +15 Ramrynia • Gabrielle Aplin & Bastille • Dreams I love Fleetwood Mac, I love Bastille and what I've heard from Gabrille Aplin so this was always going to be a winner for me, it worked out really well I though, a highlight of the contest personally. +13 Taahino • Fall Out Boy • Fourth of July It's Fall Out Boy, k. Saying that it's not just because of who they are though, it's a good effort from them with a delightfully punchy chorus that won me over pretty quickly. +12 Deandria • Owsey & Resotone • Broke My Promise & Stared To The Sea +11 Suedeonia • Holland and the Jogging Tree • Joan of Arc +10 Flynnonda • PostmodenJuxebox ft Ashley Stroud • Fancy +09 Avalonia • Within Temptation • Dirty Dancer +08 Triangledonia • Jasmine Thompson • Do It Now (Montis Remix) +07 Ultraviolenceland • Jennifer Ann • Mad World +06 Yehesi • Samantha Jade • Heartless +05 Séyetana • Baracuda • Where Is The Love (Nightcore Club Mix) +04 D'yermak'er • Autre Ne Veut • Little Red Corvette +03 St. Burbia • BATTS • What Is Love +02 Mulgracia • Blondee, Marc Werner & Fabienne Rothe • Wonderful Days +01 Altyr Muunilinst • Nick Talos • Heartbeat[/quote

July 31, 20168 yr Whoops my little rant there may have been posted just a minute too early :kink: (thank you for posting these! x) (edit: I have deleted said rant now as it wasn't actually relevant and was too nitpicky and putting too much emphasis on something that doesn't actually make any difference at all)
July 31, 20168 yr my bad, it is easy to misjudge where the columns and rows align, especially when the sheet is of that size :lol: If that hasn't messed the scores up then I know for a fact they are solid as we totalled them up individually, as we went from each PM from the scoreboards shown in the results thread and used the autosum feature in the spreadsheet after each set to keep ourselves right and both the scores in the sheet and the results doc scoreboards matched all the way up. Edited July 31, 20168 yr by ℒ𝓲𝓷𝓭𝓼𝒆𝔂
July 31, 20168 yr I like the reveal, but I think it would work best in smaller competitions such as this and Unknown Pleasures. You guys did say that those who were left until the giant reveal could present their votes in the middle of the competition but everyone seemed so into the new reveal that they forgot about them, and that could lead to some clerical errors. Besides, if anything goes wrong with the score sheets during the final presentation, we have Braydino to straighten things out. The future is now thanks to Bray!
July 31, 20168 yr Of course Lindsey, pretty much everyone makes mistakes like this with the spreadsheets, it's not the easiest thing ever to correctly input 500+ numbers into the exactly correct cells without making a single slip-up in such a large spreadsheet :lol: And I'm not doubting that the final scoreboard is correct, we just cannot necessarily trust every host to be as careful in checking the numbers add up correctly as you and Lotti were :kink: and this is why we need my relentless pedantry to straighten things out sometimes. Lol x
July 31, 20168 yr It was fun and different to have happen, I think there should be a poll on whether or not it should be a regular thing in the main contest? I think we're having it go ahead for the next one either way~ As for me well I don't mind really Nope nope nope nope. We used to do polls all the time for things like this and it was by far the worst period in BJSC history. Constant arguments, nothing ever settled, horrid compromise solutions like "ban list" et al. Nope. This contest being a "dictatorship" actually works out far better for everyone's sanity and mental wellbeing. We will take on board what everyone has to say on it in this thread and then make one of four choices: 1) another trial with some slight changes 2) adopt for all BJSC 3) adopt for spin offs only 4) fire it into the sun. Personally I'm leaning towards option 1 at the moment as the idea does have merit and the girls did execute it well but maybe there's a couple of changes we could make to make it more exciting and tense.

July 31, 20168 yr I didn't mean my last sentence as a criticism. I was quite content to let y'all run with it to see how it turned out and I wouldn't have done much different at all! Vote reveal is a big part of where a host gets to show their personality and flair so it's probably the least regulated part of BJSC to encourage that!
July 31, 20168 yr Author I didn't read your comment as criticism don't worry, i was just jumping off it as i'm genuinely curious to know how people found how we did it! :P
July 31, 20168 yr Author Btw Lotti you posted Hendinia's votes twice :drama: THE WHOLE CONTEST IS VOID!!!!!!! (lmao ty lemme remove that, don't wanna give rob too much of an impact)
July 31, 20168 yr Belated thanks to Ojnoj - always nice to get points from one of the countries that my songs don't usually appeal to ^_^
July 31, 20168 yr OMG saved from last place by Mulgracia's deduction. Two last place finishes in a row for the spin-offs would not have been fun :/ Quite disappointed by the winner tbh! A few of the songs not far off it would have been much better winners. Congrats to Unovia though. I also really enjoyed the new results reveal. I wouldn't say the regular way isn't exciting, but this way always feel like there's more tension and jeopardy as countries shoot up and down the table in one swoop.
