February 7, 20214 yr Author and we have 40 entries! :cheer: can we make it to the magic 60 number by the end of the week??
February 7, 20214 yr did we have any double/triple confirmation? If not then it is amazing that all 40 confirmations so far were unique :clap:
February 7, 20214 yr did we have any double/triple confirmation? If not then it is amazing that all 40 confirmations so far were unique :clap:Quite early on there was a clash! we have one clash already :o Of course we do! But I got there first *.*But obvz Idk if anymore since but I doubt it if it hasn't been mentioned :o
February 7, 20214 yr Oh I totally missed that post...thanks Jonjo. Is it clashing with Altyr confirmation a monthly thing lol because I feel like it happens a lot!!!
February 7, 20214 yr Author aside from the very early song clash we have had an artist clash as well which has been sorted.
February 7, 20214 yr Send a message to a mod please, but two months ahead of time so we can vet it and we will then keep note for that contests veto research If you had a 50th anniversary entry then the same artist needs to be used wait, so you're stuck with the same anniversary entry artist until the end of days? :o
February 8, 20214 yr The Anniversary Entries Framework **In order to make use of your anniversary entry for your 50th, 100th or 250th contest you must inform moderators 2 months in advance of the artist and song being entered. Please state why you are entering this artist in your notification to the moderators. The artist should be significant to your nation in someway. The artist you select will be the only artist you can use for future anniversary entries so chose wisely. Anniversary entries will be accepted only where they comply with the below conditions** - Song has not charted in the UK Top 40 - Song has not previously been entered to the Buzzjack Song Contest - Artist/Song choice was submitted to the moderators two contests in advance - Artist is the same as the artist registered against your nation for anniversary entries - Song is not from the artists most recent/current* era *delete as appropriate Moderator discretion will apply at all times and songs deemed 'too well known' will be denied entry. Reasons will be provided and right to appeal is unaffected by the anniversary status. wait, so you're stuck with the same anniversary entry artist until the end of days? :o That’s how the rules are currently written, yes. Things may change in the future, but the Main Intention when we did this is to send something with a significant meaning allowing you a chance to skirt the normal rules for a special occasion, not for it to be used as a chance to send something we’ve vetoed thrice but you think is a winner. Maybe there’s a better way for us to do that but that’s how it is at the moment. It’s something we will look at in the coming months as all of the rules/frameworks have been static for a long time and need a tidy up and update.
February 8, 20214 yr I mean, had I been less of an idiot and not picked JESS MILLS for my 50th, I would have sent something special this month. But I did, so here we are.
February 8, 20214 yr Curious. Can you choose any artist you want for the anniversary edition? Could I theoretically choose Britney Spears (I wouldn’t) or are there any restrictions on the artist?
February 8, 20214 yr Can't there be a rule that as long as it's not been vetoed in the last 30/40/50 contests, it's OK or something to avoid that rule? I didn't use a 50th anniversary (it was a randomer named Szjerdene! - was the anniversary rule in place then icr? Aha) :') but I shall think about it some more as this is my 97th entry I believe - I'll hopefully have something decided in a week or so.
February 8, 20214 yr As it says in the post I quoted, the artist should be significant to your nation in someway. It’s why we ask you to tell us a little story about why you’ve picked that particular song. If your skirting the rules it should mean something as far as I’m concerned. Mine is the Sugababes. They were the First artist to represent Ashton, or Fotherington Islands as it was known at the Time, way back in the very First BJSC and they Are my ride or die artist. Mikey went with Kylie because it’s his ride or die artist. People have different motivations but this is the kind of thing it’s for. A chance to send something truly special you wouldn’t have been able to do so under the standard framework (but avoiding singles we probably already know and love)
February 8, 20214 yr Thanks Silas, that makes sense. Not to worry, I still have like thirty-something entries til my anniversary entry :lol:

I think you'd be able to apply the same logic from the first 50th to the next 100th - a significant artist since the last anniversary? Because I think you guys as mods would be able to tell when someone is chancing it!
