so, what is ssnc? asking for a friend

"So Sorry, No Choice" -- originally used in an online version of the board game Ludo, where players would say "ssnc" if the only playable move was to take another player's piece. Now it just means something along the lines of "you won't like this decision I've made".

So, @doctormalisimo, what's the status of the NSC Euro 2024 now that the UEFA Euro 2024 is over and nearly everyone has moved on? Should be declared the winner since their song has the most points?

Hey sorry, I had the Georgia v Belgium final written out last week when the forum was having issues, so we can go with that? Apologies to soundofsilence above

Thank you so much! My friend Miraheze appreciates that and will use the provided description for their purposes

It's interesting that it's not originally related to NSC and the phrase itself sounds pretty common, but there is no info about it on the internet at all

Random thought occurred to me but I don't really want to spend a lot of time looking it up....

Has a rest jury qualifier ever won NSC?

 

[dogmeat]

HHL 112, KeshYou - Rizamyn

And I think there was one more, but I can't remember right now

 

[Fearnavigatr]

It happened again just two editions later, Anselmsmumonia - Mirel Wagner - No Death.

 

[nofuxCZ]

and 3 more REJU qfers came close by finishing 2nd

Event	Edition	Nation	Artist	Song	Result category	Final result
NSC	93​	Rumia	Adriana Figueroa	The Hanging Tree	REJU Qualified	2​
NSC	148​	Leylâ	Moldanazar	Ozin Gana	REJU Qualified	2​
NSC	176​	Calypso	Black Pumas	Colors	REJU Qualified	2​

It wasn't the question, but i won NSC125 with "Bear's Den - Above The Clouds Of Pompeii" from pnly the 10th place in normal jury on and with the same points as the 11th place.

It even had no real chance to be a reju-qualifier if it wouldn't have won the tie, cause it just was 11th place in re-ju.

Still awesome that i had this luck and my entry could grow on others in the final, one of my personal favorites out of all my entries!

I have a similar story, when I got my first win in NSC 127 (just 2 editions after your win). Genre Police finished 10th in the semi, 1 point ahead of the 11th place. And it came 20th in the reju (I just went thru the results thread to find the exact reju position, and reliving those results was emotional tbh).

Yeah, i had in mind that a similar thing happened not long after my lucky victory. ^^ Did the same thing before my posting above and re-readed the postings after my victory was confirmed. ^^ Just also got pretty emotional about that.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I have some experience where I've come 10th in the semi final and then went on to get a top 6 finish in the final...but nothing as big as outright winning.

Closest was NSC 70 (Belle & Sebastian) where I tied for 9th in the semi, 9 points away from not qualifying and then came 3rd in the final.

This discussion inspired me to look through all my entries and calculate the drop/growth between semi-finals and finals, here

209	Ana Mena & Belinda	LAS 12	9	7	+57.78%

169	Requin Chagrin	Sémaphore	2	6	-8.52%
194	Oscar and the Wolf	Princes	5	15	-11.85%
210	Harris & Ford x Maxim Schunk x Hard But Crazy	Checkmate	9	26 (14 ?)	-12.59% (+31.85% ?)
217	George Clanton	I Been Young	8	24	-15.19%
196	Marnik & LUNAX	Bye Bye Bye	3	14	-28.15%
229	Joost	Luchtballon	1	9	-29.63%

P.S. Maybe the system is not perfect, but much better than just subtracting places which I initially tried and got so disappointed in myself

P.P.S. I literally did Latvia 2005 with Will Jay, even performed second to last in the final running order!

P.P.P.S. LOL at Joost being the biggest drop according to this system

 

[Rmetr0]

1 - 0

[Rmetr0]

Excuse me?? No deadline = no votes?? Or y'all secretely voted somewhere outside forum and I wasn't smart enough to understand that?

 

[berlyda]

Oops, I saw the post but forgot to actually vote Very tough final to vote in, but here we go:

@Rmetr0, @berlyda, and @soundofsilence, before the Great Crash of 2024, this is where we were.
