Song Contest 151 (Results posted!)

On the one hand, I worry this could mess up data processing.

On the other hand, I do plan on abusing this (but not immediately).

Today I have changed my mind on what to enter and now I'm back to memeing contests. Will vote though.

even more glad now i'm skipping this one

Whoops, almost missed it (technically may have been 5 minutes late from the deadline, hope I don't get cut).

Tatsuya Kaname · Post Post #29 (ISO) » Sat Jun 20, 2020 8:07 pm

Also was there an occurence where more than one people submitted the exact same song in the same contest? Just asking for fun fact.

Just a random thought, but wouldn't it be nice if we held a Eurovision-inspired Song Contest? In this contest we would need to pick artists that performed at a Eurovision, but pick any of their other songs besides the song they participated with.
Does this sound better than BOTB?

that would be fun

TK - t00's deadlines are loose. You're possibly fine. I think multiple people have tried to submit the same song at least once in the past 15 contests, and sadly the result isn't as interesting as you'd hope - whoever didn't get to it first gets locked out and told to submit something else. The real question is when we're going to see two versions of the same song at once

viz - I mean I can submit ABBA again in about 12 contests...

I like the Eurovision idea

I wouldn't mind themed contests, but Eurovision itself seems like a really limited and boring theme. I'd prefer them be more topical and broad, like if we did a Pride-themed contest for June for example.

Songs posted! We had cuts for the first time in a long time, and I decided that if any of the people who were cut want me to put their entries first in line for the next time I will do that. So if you're one of the people who was cut, PM me and I will copy-paste your entry in for SC152.

Now I feel bad about taking up a spot with my track.

same tbh

OTOH I don't think I can take another 30-person contest for a while

clearly the correct solution is to listen to all of the entries and then, via an ordered ranking system, judge which ones shouldn't be allowed in this contest

Nahdia · Post Post #41 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 2:57 pm

if you get in the bottom 3, you're banned from song contest.

Tatsuya Kaname · Post Post #42 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 3:40 pm

Woah 7 cuts? That's insane.

Song Contest is becoming more lively than ever.

In post 1, Song Contest wrote:Empire, Mina, Knightmare491, Errantparabola, zeebu, Xtoxm and T-Bone have been cut. They will receive guaranteed bids into SC152. If any of you would like me to copy your entries over for the next contest, please PM me!

So, how is "everyone else" decided after the below mentioned 3 criteria?

Spoiler:

PranaDevil · Post Post #44 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 4:22 pm

I mean...

4 - people who were cut from the previous contest

5 - everyone else

Also, no. The people running the song contest should not decide which songs are "good enough" to make it in. That's all kinds of garbage right there. At that point everyone suddenly has to play to what they want.

You enter, you may be randomly not involved if theres a lot of entries, the way it has always been since the start. You can still vote in this contest after all. Your song can simply be entered into the next one.

I'd assume just first come first served for that, but maybe it's random. Also wow, Song Contest got really popular recently. Impressive.

(4) isn't applicable and (5) is literally what I'm asking clarification for

Can't be first come first served since I'm probably the last one who submit.

Pretty sure it's just RNGod's blessing.

Mina · Post Post #48 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 4:52 pm

Pretty sure it's RNG. Empire and I both submitted on the very first day.

Guess Pride Month will be in July for me!

Knightmare491 · Post Post #49 (ISO) » Sun Jun 21, 2020 5:00 pm

I had sent pretty early on as well. Meh, that sucks then. Imo it should be first come first serve instead of rng.
