April 19, 20223 yr Submitted something great... as a placeholder, as it's basically Gloryhammer with a handicap. Might need to look around for something less DNQ-y.

April 19, 20223 yr Keep it!!! Maybe we will point each other because we have the same genre ;) Oh, I'll definitely point anything remotely Gloryhammer-y :lol:
April 19, 20223 yr Confirmed! Might change it if I find something else but equally I am quite getting into the song I've just submitted.
April 19, 20223 yr was tried before, many years ago but I believe it was decided it didn't give enough fairness to the semis for the amount of effort put in and I also think could easily be construed as fixing if not done fairly. (mods see the LIII thread, I remembered that was the contest we tried but I don't think those semi draws were ever implemented in the end). I always meant to do a trial run if I hosted (and compare it to a random draw and probably then implement the random draw for the actual contest and share thoughts with mods later) but when I did I... forgot and also I was in the semis myself so it was probably for the best that I didn't later admit to thinking about tinkering with the draw process. I like the idea but I've never pushed too hard for it (despite being one of the nations who month-to-month most needs a favourable draw :ph34r: ) because of the difficulty of maintaining a pot list and applying it for... minor benefits and probable dissatisfaction with the system. At least there's no one to blame with a random draw. I’m sure we did manipulate the Semi draw in a mod hosted contest around that time. I don’t think anything out of the ordinary happened tbh
April 20, 20223 yr Confirmed a beautiful (largely) instrumental from a hidden gem video game soundtrack! Strong trip-hop / Massive Attack vibes, hope some people will love it as much as me <3

Strong trip-hop / Massive Attack vibes, hope some people will love it as much as me <3 Sounds lovely Jade! Can't wait to hear it. :heart: Really hoping that I can inspire some lesser pointed countries to award me points this month, especially Séyetana who I think will be a fan! ;)
April 20, 20223 yr *everyone else runs for the hills screaming* sounds good sounds good please continue
April 20, 20223 yr *everyone else runs for the hills screaming* Pretty much sums up what my next entry looks like and sounds like :kink:
April 21, 20223 yr Re-confirmed (I highly expected my first choice would be a veto, but having just glanced at the Masquerade entries I know it's a definite veto now, so I thought I'd save the mods the bother of sending a message to my inbox :lol: ) *waits for this one to be vetoed too :unsure:
April 21, 20223 yr You're not the only one. The song I submitted has also appeared on the Masquerade list! I will have a think on which of my other potentials to reconfirm with.
April 21, 20223 yr Ooooh what songs were you guys thinking of? :kink: I'll let you know when I send you my Masquerade vote. If I say what it is now, everyone can rule me out as being the country that's masquerading as the country that it's under in that contest, if that makes sense. I kind of feel I have three songs in Masquerade now. :P
April 22, 20223 yr I've now reconfirmed with some indie/pop. This will be the shortest song I've ever sent to the main contest.
April 22, 20223 yr Confirmed - I had nothing in mind going into this contest but stumbled across something the other day that I've fallen in love with a bit, it's a fairly low key dream-pop (?) song that could easily get lost in the background (living on the edge when this is the contest I need to qualify to match my longest Q streak) but it hooked me in straight away with its guitar riff :heart: and it has a great build in the second half. Actually a little surprised this act has never been sent before, I've seen the name floating around for years but this is the first song I've really got into from them. Did a quick BuzzJack search and found they had a couple of songs back in like 2017 that got some attention on here but looks like no one has been checking for anything from them beyond that. This will be at long last my first entry by a New Zealand act as well, been a while since I last expanded the list of nationalities (at least in the main contest) so hooray ~
