If your not one of the 24 countries can you vote? And will there be more than the 24 next time so i can make sure i am ready lol

Hmm no only the 24 countries will be able to vote Martyn. :( It isn't guaranteed that everyone who has participated this time will next time anyway, so if you get in early you should be alright. The first one was always going to attract more attention. :D

I think that if there's biger intrest in the cointest (and it seems like it will be) we should introduce the Semi Final for the 2nd edition ^_^

One of the main discussion points when this is over I think! :w00t:

yes, so we gonna do this quick but after the results show for the 1st one we gonna take some time and discuss ^_^

That's the plan! :D

good, i look forward to the next round

so what do u think should we re-open the sign up thread for new countries and to see how many new players will sign in untill friday which is the deadline for the BJSC1 voting??????

yeah, how do we go about signing up for the next round

well I think we should re-open the thread and see if there are many new countries that wanna participate in the 2nd edition, we can introduce the Semi Final to the contest (with or without pre-qualified countries for the 2nd edition final based on their performance in the 1st edition)!!!

and for the signing up, for the current coutries, you are all allready singed ufor every next edition (until u decide to withdraw for some reason :P ) u will only select ur new entry after the 1st edition wraps up (u know internally or u can run an NF in ur national thread) :D

would it not be best 2 wait until the winner is announced then open a new sign up thread with their banner etc.

that's ok too, since the winner will get the host rights for the next contest he can take over the 2nd edition :D

but we still should discuss the rules , the number of countries participating etc. etc. :)

theres 48 countries on the map isn't there?

49 ;)

ok, 49 so does that mean we have a maximum of 49 entrants? what happens if we get more interest than that?

so that we need to dicuss, do we aloud more countries than that or should be put a limit like the original ESC - which is 42 countris I think :???:

with 49 territories we can't use a limit of 42 obviously.

 

but do we limit it at 49 and que up entrants until sum1 drops out or,

 

do we expand the map further when, if, it gets 2 this stage

yes that's why we need to see first if there's that amount of members on BJ interested to yake part in the contest...

that's why I proposed to re-open the sign up thread (for new countries only, not entries for the next edition) so we can see where are we at ^_^

cracking,

 

good idea. i wonder if we will get many new entries.
