Voted! Great edition!

If I ever host, I’ll point out that Earth doesn’t actually take 24 hours to rotate! It takes 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

5 minutes to 00:00 here

submitted something that I looove

I remember when I first joined Buzzjack, you were all watching The Traitors and even having listeningthrough after it, and I had absolutely no idea what it was haha. Now it’s finally started airing in my country too (our first local version) so I started watching and got a little hooked. Since it only airs once a week here, I found the Australian version from 2022 online and started watching that too. But I got SO annoyed when one traitor turned on another that I immediately went to YouTube to find out when the other traitor got eliminated, just so I could feel better about it hahah. It’s definitely not the show for me. I only enjoy it when the traitors stick together. I really cannot handle betrayals 😭

Sovarasma has been on my mind ever since I saw the song on his chart, and a little bit DanG’s country too, since he sent it once

I’m not changing the song, I cant draw another banner 😂

Today I’m celebrating my one year Buzzjack anniversary! 😄

I sent my answers to myself by email. :D

And the host can play too! But I’d have to do it now, before the first responses come in.

Basically, you understood it. The percentages can still change, and I’ll convert them into actual numbers of people once I know the exact number of participants. It was difficult to determine the exact numbers off the top of my head, so I used percentages for now. Ultimately, it’s up to you how you want to play it whether you choose 3 safe options and 2 risky ones, all 5 risky ones, or maybe all 5 that you think are safe but turn out not to be safe choices for others. We don’t know how everyone else will think, so that’s part of the game. But you do need at least one other person to choose the same image as you in order to score points. Fewer the better.

When I came up with this scoring system, I was thinking along the same lines as how Riser scored Blank State. If I remember correctly, he gave 3 points if only two people had the same word as their association, and 1 point if more than two people had the same word. I can’t really do it exactly like that here because these quizzes usually have around 20 people signing up, so it’s unlikely that only two people will choose the same image. But if it happens, great. Basically, depending on the number of people who sign up, I’ll divide the number into percentages and calculate what percentage of people chose the same image, or convert those percentages into the corresponding number of people (although I can only do that once the final number of participants is known). So it’s essentially the same principle as Riser used for Blank State. If the “less than 35% of people” part is confusing you, of course it doesn’t mean 0 - it means more than 0 but less than 35%. The only difference is that with Riser’s system, if only one other person chose the same word as you, you got the maximum points. Here, I’m not making it a requirement that only one other person can choose the same image as you. Depending on the number of participants, it could be 2 or even 3 people and still fall into the simillar scoring bracket. Also, for each prompt you have to choose 5 images, so you don’t have to take risks with all 5 of them. You can also pick some that you think other people are almost certainly going to choose for the safe points.

The same collage on Google Drive: LINK 20 PROMPTS: Freedom Magic Beauty Anxiety Dream Hunger Lust Control Vulnerability Sin Destiny Buzzjack Star Witch The Past Art Money Scandal Danger Absurdity In front of you are 40 album covers. Your task is to choose exactly 5 covers for each of the 20 prompts. This isn't necessarily about how well you know the albums or artists themselves (although that might come in handy for some of you), It's about the associations you make with the images. Maybe it's the colours, the imagery, the atmosphere, something you know about the album, or simply the way a particular cover feels to you. There are no right or wrong answers, and the reason behind your choices is entirely up to you. You only score points when someone else makes the same association as you. However, the most obvious choice isn't necessarily the most rewarding one! The more players who choose the same cover as you, the fewer points you'll receive for it. Check the scoring system below to see how it works! 5 points | chosen by less than 35% of players 3 points | chosen by 35% to less than 50% of players 2 points | chosen by 50% to less than 75% of players 1 point | chosen by 75% or more of players 0 points | chosen by no other player So you'll need to think a little tactically and logically, try to put yourself in other players' shoes, and take a few risks along the way. I hope you’ll enjoy it! You will send me the 5 images you choose for each prompt via DM. The images are numbered, so for example, for the Freedom prompt, you can send me: Fredom: images 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. etc. DEADLINE: Wednesday, 7 October at 00:00

I got an idea last night that I really like, just to make it today

I’ll probably step in so we don’t waste any time, but I’ll just check with @matto and @PeteFromLeeds first. Tomorrow new quiz

I was waiting, but I probably should have reminded him. If he forgot or can’t organize it, I’ll step in if no one else is interested. But I’ll wait for him to respond first.

Something like this

Do you want simillar to mine?

Maybe BJSC map could be reorganized by oceans: pop nations next to the Popifist Ocean, alternative nations next to the Altantic Ocean, and us floaters just chilling at the estuary haha

please blacsquare which bloc I belong to

My artist is also recycled from a country that starts with the letter D 😮‍💨
