Oh so I actually am just dragging Jade into it for the sake of it then.

Jade walking into this thread:

Rob indeed making me feel like a flop by inventing an imaginary DNQ xx

tbf my last four performances have been DNQ-Q-DNQ-Q so quite a spotty period nevertheless

My 12p was Wholune and 8p Zanmatony

Worth mentioning that BJSC Masquerade is anonymous as the participants are posing as another country, I'm not sure if anyone wants to scour through the points there, but from what I remember of my own, I don't believe my points given or received from certain countries changed much even when not knowing their identity, but hey maybe another one of these will be a good gauge of if things will change x (I would like to see one anyway as it's been a while)

YES I am down for bringing back Masquerade

okay maybe I overreacted and won’t send a 30+ minute techno song to the next contest as revenge after all

Pagasa came 2nd last contest (in reality) - the first time they’ve ever finished top 5 and I think a lot of people were rooting for them for that reason.

Whilst I won’t object to anonymity being given a try, I don’t actually enjoy the anonymous contests as much on the site. It typically kills discussion because you can’t really talk about your own entry and why you sent it etc, and you can’t as easily reply to odds and predictions etc.

This is how I feel.

I have really gotten into the prediction side of the contest (despite being consistently wrong), but deciding to fully stan Pagasa and make it my entire personality for a month was easily the most stupid fun I’ve had during BJSC in a while

me making my epic gina dirawi fail personality the entire month

We loVe Gina Dirawi

speaking of these popularity contests… we should bring back the annual one where you’d rate each other as users! Josh was telling me about them and they sounded savage! Bring that brutality back lol

Lmao, please for the love of Lady BuzzJack, no 😆 I'd personally have a huge issue with that.

(But what do I know 🙃)

I suppose if East Rukahavian were an football club, they'd be the equivalent of Fulham.

Then I'm Derby County in their legendary 2007/08 season in this contest - oops they had at least 11 points.

Just something that came in my head if your BJSC country was an sports team what would they be, the first thing I thought was Fulham, I suppose if it was Formula One we'd be Minardi.

I'm so glad I'm not Tottenham Hotspur... oh wait I DNQ'd so I guess it's like a relegation battle to see if I can stay in the premier league of BuzzJack for the rest of the BJSC season!

On a serious note though, I'm not going to be making any suggestions at this time just because I didn't qualify. I'm not blaming anyone or anything and there were some nice comments made about the music video so that's something. I don't have the right to qualify every time either, so the way I see it is like giving someone else the opportunity to shine for the month, and sharing is caring etc.

What I actually do feel worse about is the treatment of Ennea since they joined. They create lovely graphics and have sent us three gems of entries and yet they can't catch a break. Let them experience what a BJSC final feels like please!! 🙏🏼

Maybe Emma Raducanu for me. Patchy a lot of the time, floppy sometimes, but an occasional win when I feel up to it.

does that make me manchester united based on the expensive flop i just had? 😭

I'm favouring anonymity for one contest, not to combat favouritism or unconscious bias. Just because I think it would be fun to be part of.

(Love your entry actually don't worry!!)

I'm thinking more about people licking their lips because a 32-minute song has come up before even pressing play on it or hearing someone has sent a blind Taiwanese washerwoman and calling it mother etc.

😂

I see what you mean now. Apologies for the incorrect assumption earlier, I think I’m a little over conscious that all the washing talk could be very grating for some.

On the anonymity conversation - we really could just have another masquerade or other form of anonymous spin off, I do quite like the idea of pretending to be one of the other countries

idk what sports team I would be

what’s a sports team that is prominent but never dominant and extremely polarizing

Had a French guy that I met a few months ago bring this up to me when I told him the English county that I'm from.

Nearly 2 decades later and 100s of miles away this still haunts.
