Posted July 26, 2024Jul 26 Good evening and welcome to San Marina, Lotunia! Thank you for signing up for this brand new spin-off, we are very excited to see how this turns out. Seing as this is the first time the Collaboration spin-off is taking place it is very important that you take a look at the guidelines, please do ask if there is something that needs clarification. Below the guidelines you will find the pairs – you will be working with your partner this coming week, so cleaning up your PM folder might be smart! 🏹Guidelines🏹 🏹) No UK Top 20s (songs that have charted lower may still be vetoed if they are deemed to be too well-known, though the veto will be much less strict than in a standard contest). 🏹) No Artists with an Artist Forum. 🏹) Songs that have been previously sent to the main-contest or other spin-offs will not be allowed in. Covers or alternative versions (in reference to folk songs or something similar) may be allowed in on a case-by-case basis. 🏹) You will in this spin-off be working in pairs. Since we are less then 30 participants, each pair will find two songs (one song representing each nation in the pair) that share one or more similarites. This can be the fact that both songs charted at #21 (or in the 20s), both are sung in urdu, they have lyrical or thematical similarites, both were released in 1985 or something else – be creative! Now, you are gonna have to make a small effort, I won’t be accepting songs that are both only sung in english or french (I might if the language choice is inspired) or if they both have an 80s sound and that’s it – you get the point. 🏹) The deadline is: 3rd August | 11.59pm (UK Time). 🏹The Pairs🏹 Lotunia (NocheLuna) and Zanmatony (awardinary) Abeltesfayeton (Y'all Starlight) and POPHub (calxyum) Aeroche (✖ leww ✖) and Scotland 2 (!!!) Altyr Muunilinst (Qween) and Sovarasma (uhsting) Beaverdonia (Jenna Tolls) and Jadakissnia (Jade) Bøtanikkä (Addy!) and Persephonia (Brer) Cadelicia (Oliver) and Cheiron (Scene) Pestolia (Ansel) and Taahino (Lindsey.) FSR Rontvia (gooddelta) and Séyetana (Iz 🌟) Hinterlandia (hinterland) and Trifoski (seven.) 🏹) Each participant's name has been linked to each participant's buzzjack profile! * we ended up getting an odd number of participants, which is a bit unfortunate since I did want to work together with someone. I did briefly think about making a trio, but that might have been a bit much in regards to communication and finding suitable songs - or maybe not, idk. 🏹Click Here To Confirm Your Entry🏹 🏹) Note: Everyone will get the chance to let me know why their entries are similar through the google form. I plan on having a small flag parade, I will be using the explaination you give me in the google form as part of the parade (let me know if you don’t want me to post your explaination and I will come up with something for your pair). 🏹) Again, the confirmation period closes at 11:59pm UK time the 3rd of August. 🏹) Have fun! 🏹Confirmed🏹 🏹POPHub🏹 🏹Abeltesfayeton🏹 🏹FSR Rontvia🏹 🏹Séyetana🏹 🏹Taahino🏹 🏹Pestolia🏹 🏹Bøtanikkä🏹 🏹Zanmatony🏹 🏹Lotunia🏹 🏹Pesephonia🏹 🏹Jadakissnia🏹 🏹Cheiron🏹 🏹Aeroche🏹 🏹Scotland 2🏹 🏹Cadelicia🏹 🏹Beaverdonia🏹 🏹Sovarasma🏹 🏹Altyr Muunilinst 🏹 🏹Trifoski🏹 🏹Hinterlandia🏹
July 26, 2024Jul 26 I'm pretty happy with my pairing! I will try my best to conjure up a hit, hopefully x
July 26, 2024Jul 26 Now I feel bad for not entering seeing Lotunia all on their own. :( If you really want a buddy I can be yours, but I don't know if we would make for a good combination mind. :lol:
July 27, 2024Jul 27 Wait so what are you doing with your own entry Noche? I was assuming you would just have a trio if you had an odd number of entrants - although maybe drafting in Zanmatony to make it a nice round 20 participants would be a better solution x Oh my @ Bøtaphoniä x
July 27, 2024Jul 27 Hinterlandia (hinterland) and Trifoski (seven.) :hi: seven ! from a brief scour of Trifoski's BJSC entries it seems we have might have reasonably similar tastes as luck would have it x
July 28, 2024Jul 28 Author Sorry for the lateness! Let me quickly try to answer this (I'm a little tired atm so let me know if there is something that does not make sense). Additionally, the deadline has been extended by one day. I completly mixed up the dates for an important event (wedding <3) and won't have the time to do any last minute prep/flag parade/putting up the voting thread on Saturday like I had planed. Therefore, the deadline for confirming your entries will be on Saturday (this means that any entries confirmed on this day won't be looked over until after the deadline has gone by - if you think your entry might be toing the line I would recommend finding a replacement just in case it get's vetoed!) Now I feel bad for not entering seeing Lotunia all on their own. :( If you really want a buddy I can be yours, but I don't know if we would make for a good combination mind. :lol: Don't feel bad! I've been made aware that there are more competitions going on (I see that you are already competing in atleast Club Bizarre and BJSC) and I'm assuming that you had to pass on this because of lack of time. If you want to compete I would be happy to work together with you - I'm sure we can figure something out. Just be aware that I have a tendency to do badly in the contests I host :lol: (But seriously, if you do want to compete with me, please let me know asap - either here or by PM) Wait so what are you doing with your own entry Noche? I was assuming you would just have a trio if you had an odd number of entrants - although maybe drafting in Zanmatony to make it a nice round 20 participants would be a better solution x Oh my @ Bøtaphoniä x Basically I'm going to find two entries and let everyone judge them as a pair. Meaning: they, unlike the other songs would not be split up in the voting. When voting they will both either get for example 5 points, not one song getting 5 points and the other 1 point - which could be the case for, for example Taahino and Pestolia who will be judged individually. I made this choice on my own so, yeah, totally understand if people don't want this to be a thing? If that is the case I don't mind random.org'ing myself into a pair - or letting Zanmatony join in on the fun if he has time. What if the song was a b-side of a top 20 hit? :P (SOS bré/mods) B-Side is a song that is promoted as an "extra/bonus song" to the single, no? Assuming the song in question has not gone on to chart in the top 20, and did not go on to be very well known in gerneral or go on to be a forum fave it should be fine, I think? Again, this is a spin-off so the rules are slightly more relaxed, and I will be judging the entries on a case-by-case scenerio.
