NSC 204 SEMI 2

Are you all still here? ...What do you mean you just got started?
Bah, okay then!

The allocation and draw is done, pots were used (my poor flowers will have to find a new home now), and it's time to begin the second semifinal of Nation Song Contest 204!

Allow yours truly to present the entries through the mightiness of...
ONE-MAN INTERPRETATIVE THEATER

And there's a few who thought they'd get off easy on past merits, but are still contractually obligated to contribute:





And now it's time to decide which songs you disliked the least! Participants of this semi and rest juries alike, send your votes of 1-8, 10 and 12 points to
@Roffbeard the Mighty!
or to Fearnavigatr/Jochen through your messaging service of choice

Deadline: Tuesday, 19 April, 23:59 CEST

Now try not to disturb me while I unclog the drainpipes, hosting contests doesn't mean your chores go away.

These banners are incredible I love the amount of effort that went into acting out each entry (and the insane amount of editing that must have gone into this). My personal favourite:

​

"Wings of Light" is a close second

EDIT: Okay I just saw "La Favorite" and the Fervorosia-Orangualia combo in the other semi and they are amazing too

 

[Stargazer]

These banners are just the greatest thing I've ever seen.

 

[doctormalisimo]

Oh wow, I love a good creative/unique show and this is just stunning

I look forward to working out what all the non-English titles mean based on the banners

 

[Kimrt]

Creative and funny banners I love how they suit the entries too

 

[Ana Raquel]

please i ask for roffbeard hosting every edition

 

[esc87fan]

[berlyda]

The quality of this semi is amazing, good job everyone

Wing of Light is definitely mine anyway

Scandalous show, this is hosting at its peak, take my 12

If you need an extension, that's fine, votes (including reju) will be accepted throughout the night and morning.

If you've reju voted and don't see your name in the second post of the thread, let me know ASAP!

Just a warning @Fearnavigatr, @mentions from Roffbeard don't seem to be working (at least not when mentioned so many at once). I didn't get any notification for this. I was already aware of the deadline, though and had already planned on voting a bit later this evening.

Figures, but no worries, I stopped expecting mentions to work a long time ago (your mention of me right now didn't work either). It's a quick heads-up post for now (that also helps me with easy access to their profiles so I can stalk their activities and see who's been gone for a week), and then I can start chasing any remaining AWOLs with more direct means closer to midnight.

 

[Stargazer]

voted! I love my Top 3 here, but I have to admit I struggled a bit to fill the low-point-slots.

 

[Fearnavigatr]

Still missing four voters in this semi.
Blackmere, Svobodnia and Luzinia have all been in touch, but I haven't heard from Tamausia & Deltannor yet. @theCONWEL
(Reminder PM has been sent.)

Lines will be open for additional rest jury voters until sometime in the afternoon, I will give a heads up before the cut-off.

 

[Rmetr0]

Our computers resposible for counting them votes crashed shortly before the deadline so we couldn't send our votes on time

However, it didn't take too long to restore and after that we successfully sent our points
HUGE THANKS to Roffbeard for letting us all have an extension

And about the edition... Omg it's sooooo gooooood I literally have no song I don't like and I'm not even joking, I guess I would be happy with literally ANY semi results, well done guys and thanks for making my evening/night with the music

 

[Roffbeard]

Lines are completely closed, no more votes will be accepted!

Stay tuned for some mighty results in a few hours! (21 CEST approx.)
