July 18, 200816 yr Author 15/37 votes in so far :D still one or more countries on less than 6 points (our current lowest ever score in the final)
July 18, 200816 yr :( If i cry very very very loud will i have even the small chance? :kink: Ok, kidding, just can not wait for the final :(
July 18, 200816 yr the fewer the hints the more exciting the final :) That's true, but the fewer the hints, the more possibilty of unexpected heart-attack :kink: :(
July 18, 200816 yr I know you're not giving too many clues......but would you be able to tell us if theres a clear leader or if it's really close? I hope this contest the winner isn't as obvious as Mdice/Katy Pery was last month.

I hope this contest the winner isn't as obvious as Mdice/Katy Pery was last month. well, seeing as different people are coming up with different leaders, its obviously not as clear cut as last month where almost everyone picked Mdice to win :P put it this way, its closer than it was last month and could well go down to the wire, its very exciting and I'll reveal the voting in a way that provides the most excitement :cheer:
July 18, 200816 yr So no random order of displaying the votes? I'm all for exciting but I just think if you try to make it exciting then we'll lose the unpredictability of the results as I'd assume the final winner will start off badly then suddenyl grab the win after the last set of results Edited July 18, 200816 yr by brunoboi
July 18, 200816 yr How? That's usually the way it's unpredictable you don't know WHICH country will jump up and grab the win.

I'm all for exciting but I just think if you try to make it exciting then we'll lose the unpredictability of the results as I'd assume the final winner will start off badly then suddenyl grab the win after the last set of results would you prefer if I did it at random then? it doesn't make any difference to me...it might just have been really good if I could make it so if such an opportunity were to arise, we didn't know the winner until the very last country voting or the penultimate set of votes... last time I did it when Eledan won, I remember I made it so that they came up on the outside in the second half of the voting... I'll take all these factors into account, I might do the first three quarters randomly and then choose the rest myself to make it as exciting as possible at the end
July 18, 200816 yr put it this way, its closer than it was last month and could well go down to the wire, its very exciting and I'll reveal the voting in a way that provides the most excitement :cheer: Don't. Either do the voting in order of the Finalist countries votes, with the losing Semi Finalists split in between as per where they were in SF1 & SF2. Or do the votes in order of when you receive the countries who voted in the Final from revealing the earliest country to vote first to the latest country to vote last. If you do anything else it will spoil it IMHO, even if it means a country has won with one set of votes to spare even if the winning song then gets no points from the Final country to vote; whilst the runner up gets 10 or 12 points to finish 3 or 2 points behind.
July 18, 200816 yr Author it's a tough one to call, everyone has different opinions, what I might do is go the the losing semi-finalists first, in order of where they came, so Bhangra first and then Torchwood etc...and then after those ten countries (assuming they all vote) I will let the finalists announce their votes in performance order in the final, so Sangria would be 11th and Lorikeet's votes come last... either that, or do it like in the ESC and just do another draw to determine who votes where...
July 18, 200816 yr I don't see how it would spoil it really :unsure: I mean how? :o I'm completly Baffled as to how it would spoil it..... Pavel revealed the votes in a way that would make it exciting and I don't see what's wrong with that. I'm so confused :wacko:
July 18, 200816 yr Yeah I think the results should be announced in order of finalists/semi-finalists or something, rather than an order created for excitement... because then it makes it obvious that the early leader (for example) isn't going to win.
July 18, 200816 yr It was a complete random-ness ( :heehee: ) that when i hosted the show, 3 or 4 countries in a row gave 12 points to Beverly Knight and suddenly she climbed up really much :o While i was receiving the votes, Beverly was Top 5 all the time IIRC so i think you need to make the separate voting order, or even the order of votes coming into your headquarters, Rontvia ^_^
