Harve

We've had another double confirmation. Without naming the culprit, this unfortunately wouldn't have happened were it not for a previous multi-confirmation yesterday.

Ok hoster's privilege that I get to see this and HYPE. A living legend.

Alt ballad pls!!

The triple confirmation was the same artist! You entered a different song and the other two confirmations were the same song. The double confirmation (now resolved) was the same artist but two different songs. That's all I can say I believe!

Very controversial in Skall.

You are! I have informed those late to the party so if you've not been messaged then you're safe pending veto of course.

I have informed one third of the throuple who was unambiguously late but don't even know how to parse the photofinish between the two others who I will leave anonymous for now!

Indeed you are correct @Cody DiLaurentis . Pls be faster next time.

Please do change because two others beat you to your artist 47 seconds before you x

Well it looks like one artist has been entered thrice and another twice. The one that has been entered thrice has the same timestamp down to the exact second so not even sure what to do there!

Ok I did not realise that you get 10 confirmations within just over a minute. You're all crazy.

Welcome, and thankyou so much for making a trip to Skall. Please confirm here! Terms and conditions below: Due to a great voting turnout in Botanikka and/or mitigating circumstances approved by the mod gods, all established countries are eligible to vote. If on the off chance you're reading this and you're not an established nation then you are more than welcome to become one here. Please try to make sure your entry won't defy The Framework and be subject to a veto, and also that it hasn't been entered before which you can check here. There are also spinoffs and other contests on the forum for which a search may help. Skall's entry will autoqualify, once I decide what that will be, and if we have an even number of participants then FARC will also autoqualify thanks to their 2nd place. I'll sort you into evenly-split semis and the top 20 of each will qualify. You have until 5th August 23:59 BST to confirm. We're aiming for a semi voting period of 6th-12th August with results on 13th (TBC). Confirmed (13:00 31/07): Hendinia POPHub Jadakissnia Neliönoir Sovarasma Bøtanikkä Cor Lupus Yehesi Bronzil LookyLion Zephyra Continuum Zanmatony Kathaldazia FSR Rontvia Deandria Elëdan New Lexico Ennea Juranabaijan République d’Áskorza Danæviia Baleghde Kylienips Altyr Muunilinst Aeroche Cheiron Taahino Aesthetica New Helvetica Mothertopia Ajanaeda Herbilore Greenfroze Jupiterdonia A-Konohagakure Pagasa Scotland 2 Freidland Dobago farc (40)

We spend all the budget on making it sonically interesting rather than visually interesting here.

Ok if anyone wants to know for real, I'll put up the thread at around 20:00 BST. But now that most Californians are currently sleeping, I do wonder if Cody has set an alarm just to wake up and check early.

I wasn't aware that I was supposed to give an exact time as I've never been one to refresh for a confirmation thread and I'm not sure we even get that many duplicate entries atm, but do let me know what your sleeping pattern is so that I can ignore this completely and post on at a time on Thursday chosen at a whim x

This is barely above the minimum song length of 5:30 mandated in a Skall-hosted contest. The plug sessions will be all nighters x

Well I'm flattered. I have a playlist of 18 years of my own entries and could certainly condense it down into a compilation since popular demand is seemingly there!

And I'd be sitting pretty at 7th longest winner with Blanck Mass last year if I hadn't lost on a tiebreak. 😭

Heya! Confirmations will be starting at on 30th July, and just as a word of warning the mods have agreed to a very slightly shortened 6-day window for this - hope you're looking forward to sending whatever you're going to be sending! Feel free to tease in here. And yes basic/themeless hosting from me as is tradition.

Reading through this thread properly while working in Geneva Airport arrivals hall so I'm really living Addy's theme. Thankyou for hosting! Wawa By The Ocean was one of my more interesting/inspired entries at the time and I felt like it flopped harder than I expected it to so this is huge justice for Mary + Julianna! Absolutely delighted to have won! I was a teenager the last time I won and now I'm in my 30s lmao. Thanks for all the lovely comments and the hype that came out of nowhere (I was quietly confident of finishing well from the outset but certainly not this well!). I know it's a bit of an alt bloc song but the points actually came from quite diverse tastes, as they normally need to in order to get enough points to secure the win. Do check out the full album which is a wonderful listen, as well as Tourist x Julianna if like me you loved both Hendinia's and my entry, as wildly different as they are. Also really happy that Eledan and Lentyll join a solid top 10. I will get rather busy with work/volunteering from 22nd August onwards but if it's possible to do so on a tight-ish timeline then I'd be happy to host!

Voted (and in the right thread this time)

Voted! edit: oops wrong thread pls delete

I listened to the album before sending and was also tempted by Melted Moon and Rachel's Song! The album is an amazing listen all the way through.

This random hype wtf I personally think that Hendinia will win. But if it misses out then perhaps it's because it was in fact missing a bit of Julianna Barwick who appears on two tracks of that Tourist album.

Let's not be sending me notifications for posts I made when I was 13 years old now 😭
