Wow, my initial entry for the last contest was Hunting for your dreams by Galneryus, ofc I only came across that song because of hunter x hunter. Didn't know that song did so well in a previous contest."Don't be afraid of losing people. Be afraid of losing yourself by trying to please everyone."
"If you're bored contemplate the fact that the collective reads of n players in a n-player game of Mafia define a set of vectors in an n-space, and useful game information can be extracted from this."

OK yeah there were two or three on there that had placed top three in a previous BotB and therefore weren't eligible. I've deleted them.In post 27, Song Contest wrote:

I was considering a lot of songs but in the end decided to go with a band that only I've submitted in the past."Half of the game is figuring out who the scum is. The other half is convincing everyone else that you're right." -- PlaysWithSquirrels, in Newbie 437-

Submitted an entry just for lulz. The song apparently was part of my school life. An internet show I watched a lot back in the days has this as one of their theme songs.Embark the journey to life-changing fortune in Para{dice} Trinity: The Quest for Spirits' Fortune, a luck-based casual arcade Mish Mash game by Tatsuya Kaname!

basically this, my entry's been locked in since [redacted] scored well.

I'm also leaning pretty heavily toward taking Prana's advice on country submissions -- just letting people enter what they want and stop trying to distinguish what's a country and what isn't. People could submit whatever as long as it isn't offensive, and anybody clearly trying to be offensive I'll just ban. A particular entry this contest made it clear that the way I was handling it doesn't really help avoid what I wanted to avoid, which is making judgments about what counts as a country.
Feedback is welcome.-

My advice is as it was before - as long as it's not the bad kind of false or otherwise getting out of hand, let people have fun.
Things I don't really care about:
*Greenland - Technically a holding of Denmark but geographically and culturally distinct
*French Polynesia - Despite very blatantly being a holding of France, still geographically and culturally distinct (I think I would disallow "Tahiti" though)
*Guam, Sint Maarten, Australia - as above, also pls do not support colonialism
*Antarctica, The Moon - obviously not countries but culturally distinct and more gimmicky than anything
Things I would downvote:
*Paris - obviously not a country and superseded by an eligible entry "France"
*Ceres - someone is trying to flex their nerd cred but it comes across as douchey. like. humans have never been there
*The Independent Republic of PranaDevil's Flat - not cool unless PraDe enters it, and still not cool because it's not a recognized micronation, defeats the purpose of anonymization, and defeats the purpose of identifying as a country
*Earth - unless you're submitting something from Live Aid or smth, attempting to supersede the whole "countries" idea is really dumbEverything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.-

I appreciate that Vi, but I think you forget about historical nations, which is likely where I will return.
For instance, The Roman Empire, Athens, Burgundy. Which would you accept?

The Roman Empire would not not permitted. The Holy Roman Empire on the other hand would be allowed.In post 48, Aristophanes wrote:I appreciate that Vi, but I think you forget about historical nations, which is likely where I will return.

Athens was a city-state, but current Athens, which supersedes past Athens, has no autonomy and is not eligible.
Burgundy is best and most recently known as a region of France, albeit now defunct. That wouldn't be admissible.Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.
