Any other tissues?

 

 

bless you :D

:lol:

 

i honestly did put issues

Remember peoples voting closes tomorrow at 9pm!!!

 

There has been a pittiful amount of votes cast and if you don't vote, but have been nominated your song will be deducted 15points.

 

There may be harsher penalties for those who have been active within the BJSC forum and who haven't bothered their arse to vote -_-

Am voting tonight now I have my own Laptop ^_^

I have my votes for semi 1 prepared already and I'm almost half through semi 2, so I'll start that now ^_^

 

Edit: I've just voted, there were a few songs I never gave points to in their contests before but they have grown on me since.

Ok, i'm up for CIN anyway.

Ojnoj have voted :cheer:

Kathaldazia have voted

I meant to vote yesterday but my internet was down until about 11pm-ish so I didn't have time to in the end. I'll get them sent now. Maybe you could PM some people and ask if they'd be willing to vote? The more people voting, the better.

Botanikka have sent their votes for both semis

So sorry I've not had the time to vote in this!!

 

I hope I'll still be able to vote in the final.

Mdice voted. Semi Final 2 was much stronger imo. ;o

Voteddddd. :)

Ooops, too late to vote :o

I've just realised why the 15 point deduction is actually too much!!

 

As people have correctly pointed out, each country has 58 points in total to give out...but they won't be giving all of those points to the one country. The biggest advantage any country can give to another country would be 12 points.

 

In fact, with 19 other countries to vote for, and 58 points to give, on average, a country is giving a potential 3 point advantage to each other country by voting. So in this case, there would be an argument for the deduction only being 3 points.

 

Then again you could look at it from the point of view that 9 countries will be getting no points at all....and that the 58 points will be divided between 10 countries, giving each of those countries an average of a 5.8 point advantage over the voting country. Therefore it could be argued that a 5-6 point deduction for not voting would be more appropriate.

 

An extreme would be to say that by voting, a country will be giving one other country a 12 point advantage over themselves, and by not voting, the country will not have that advantage, so a 12 point deduction could be seen as reasonable.

 

But there is no argument for the 15 point deduction just because each country has 58 points to dish out....nobody would be given a 15 point advantage by any one country, so I don't think it's right to disadvantage any country by 15 points by not voting, especially because some of these countries don't even use Buzzjack any more.

 

I hope it's not too late for me to make these points!
