August 21, 20168 yr Ooh 6th is my best ever semi result! :o My previous best was 7th with Last Lynx and BLVCK CEILING! So surprised at how well this has done. Proof once again that the plug stats should never be taken too seriously in places. :lol: (Mattias giving me 3 in the semi and 18 in the final, that growing power *.*)
August 21, 20168 yr Thanks for hosting this Lotti and Tim, you did a great job, some cool additions to the reveals such as the gifs and the way the final scoreboard was revealed in separate parts! (Cody check your PMs when you have time, I sent you some extremely insightful shit during the climax of this :kink:) now to find my next entry omggg
August 21, 20168 yr Thanks for the fab hosting Lotti + Tim! (tbh I enjoyed the lack of scoreboards at the end and then the results being revealed from the bottom upwards - maybe this is a better format for the 'last bunch of votes being added all at once'?) The record for points in a semi being broken again for the second time in four contests after it had previously stood since BJSC19 ;o (I think this might be my best result in a semi so far this year as well somehow yas) (btw the semi 1 scoreboard seems to be missing Yehesi's 6 pointer? edit: after some PM harrassment to confirm, it was meant to be for Aelandor x)
August 21, 20168 yr OKAY. I can breathe now. I had my lunch and I'm good to go. Thank you guys so much for this momentous occasion and thanks to everyone who believed in me even when I didn't think this was going to happen (which was the entire duration of this contest)! I literally thought this was going to get vetoed and even then I thought it was only going to get mid-table before I saw the hype. I'm both astounded and blessed that this song has touched so many of you and I hope to give you more tunes that captivate you guys in the future. :heart: :heart: :heart: I'm also thankful to be able to host the contest once again on my birthday month, so you guys will get to celebrate my birthday with me in BJSC! Je vous aime mes amis, merci beaucoup :heart: :heart: :heart:
August 21, 20168 yr Author tbh that final voting reveal was just me trying to get discussion going on in here which i think worked quite well!!! i stopped scoreboards so early because after 45 cor lupus were RACING ahead, and thought i'd try make it more dramatic (fka actually managed to close the lead rlly well)
August 21, 20168 yr Anyway congrats to cody for winning, Maybe now he can finally stop saying he is flopping :kink: I had so much fun hosting these semi's and receiving some SOS PM's from Lotti throughout this
August 21, 20168 yr First Kiwi winners as well (according to the stats page). Roll on 88 (10th contest anniversary here yay)
August 21, 20168 yr Author Anyway congrats to cody for winning, Maybe now he can finally stop saying he is flopping :kink: I had so much fun hosting these semi's and receiving some SOS PM's from Lotti throughout this some is generous more like millions
August 21, 20168 yr Author also thanks 4 being the best cohost bitch and prepping hella behind the scenes whilst i was working
August 21, 20168 yr Wow, can't argue with that landslide of a winning margin. 'Technique' would've been a good winner too. Congrats Cor Lupus/FKA/Hendinia, really pleased with that top 3! Thanks for the fab hosting Lotti + Tim! (tbh I enjoyed the lack of scoreboards at the end and then the results being revealed from the bottom upwards - maybe this is a better format for the 'last bunch of votes being added all at once'?)I completely agree with this! I'm thinking it's a better format as well.
August 21, 20168 yr Well, Cody, I am really happy for you, congratulations, I know how much you wanted to win, and I'll look forward to you hosting and getting your first-time hosting out there (will sort the widget in a few). But on the song side, god no. I'm not opposed to the song, but overall, it's so ORDINARY, Cor Lupus have so much better in their roster that you should have won with. And it's the first song by The Naked & Famous I couldn't really care less about, I feel nothing from it. Would have preferred any of the rest of the top 5 to win because those are all really enjoyable songs. I had a great time reading through the last few pages Lotti, very tense and probably the right decision given how far ahead Higher was.
August 21, 20168 yr Author i'm glad u guys enjoyed that lil spin on reveal!! i'm also a big fan of a results countdown as i think it promotes more discussion of each countries places, gives everyone a bit of time in the spotlight (whether that's good or bad for them!!! :kink:)
August 21, 20168 yr Lotti I wanna say congrats on such a successful first hosting effort and thanks so much for the entertainment you provided throughout. Now maybe you can flip off the diva switch (unless Tim did something that glued it at the on position permanently).
August 21, 20168 yr I loved this style of reveal too. I'd personally say that I don't think there should be ANY enforced change to the way the results are presented, as hosts might not want to present their own contest in a certain way, but maybe if somebody intends to use some style away from the norm (like this, or the all in one block at the end thing) they could just run it past the mods or something, rather than any one rule change coming in regarding this.
