We're currently at 48 entries and just missing Aelandor, Macromia, Trifoski and Yehesi from those who entered last month - all of them are often late confirmers so I think we should be good to crack 50 again at least.

Should easily be enough for regular semis with 20 final places in each then. At least Dandy won a day out of everyone's votes!

How many contests have I entered now? I've lost track since I stopped updating my thread and with the break etc 😅

I will be entering this one and hopefully not DNQing again x

Apologies to Iz, Chez, Lewis and Dr B for omitting them from the participants post. I think I’d managed to revert back to a draft at some point along the way whilst switching updates between my phone and laptop… you’re all definitely on the sheet though

...you're still missing Land of DW as well (edited them in xx)

Your debut was in BJSC 73 so the 100th would have been earlier this year if you'd not skipped any contests! (but yeah, the ones you have skipped have added up a bit over time x)

Dobago's 100th is just around the corner (this month is their 98th) but then will be a little while before the next country to hit that mark unless Quintessa make a comeback sharpish (they're on 96, the next closest active countries are Aelandor and Summericia who will both be on 89 this month, assuming we do get a last minute Aelandor entry anyway).

It's actually Lookylion's 50th this month but they ended up deciding not to send an anniversary entry #exclusiveleaks. Ben's Sanctuary are on 48 so if they come back from their ban next month they'll be the next to hit 50, after that are Baleghde and Sandénia both on their 46th this month.

Being inconsistent with participation made me miss my 100th contest, see you in 150th with yammywhammy but I won’t keep count so watch me miss it as well :’)

Do we maybe have one more participant out there to get a round 50, your Kathaldazia needs you!

There is a Suedeonia comeback

More alt/indie bloc please, I'm gonna need you.

SOS to Rolloland. @King Rollo (He won't mind the tag, plus we usually get a quality piece of music from them).

I just mentioned your upcoming anniversary in this thread a few hours ago so that's on you if you still forget about it

(also yay for a Suedeonia return! has been a while - I notice the whole 'retro bloc' seems to have (mostly) silently evaporated in the last year or so, wherefore art thou Singerpurear and Tartford as well?)

Don't forget our friends from the Spodic Empire too!

Can't we just make more of a conscientious effort to reach out to such ones occasionally without pestering them to make a return against their wishes? Some of these veteran nations seemingly go off the grid for no known reason and assume the contest isn't for them perhaps because of the rise in pop nations. We need to bring back the balance again I feel so no one genre bloc has overall dominance.
