Re: Creating new contest on the forum

The contest without limits and equal rights for all members.
No one's denying you that. The contest can have 300 juries and 800 members, but there has to be something about it that makes it different and unique. The plans put forth so far are decent and acceptable, but they are a little too close to NSC and FSC rules. From the proposals so far, the new contest should be called 'FSC unlimited'

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

I really do not understand why so much forcing about inventing "something new and innovative". We can make a brainstorming here and find zillion little unique ideas but it all will bring some kind of restriction. This is also not supposed to be some themed FSC Spin off too. ;) I really do not get why so much forcing looking for some "innovative ideas" that will not bring anything but some kind of restriction to this game. We are all here (and in FSC & NSC) because of music, no? So, let just enjoy the music without any restrictions and that is it. Why it has to be "language song contest" to be more interesting and to differ more than other two forum contests? :? For me contest without limits and equal rights for all members. (What is not in FSC and NSC ) as Trece said is simply enough. ;)

Ok, in new contest Language spinoff you can takes place every month as you want ;) It would be more fair. Who does not like it - will not participate.

I would totally be ok with it if some admin would care to create a new subforum for it.

And? Any contest, if it is an interesting find its audience. The specific purpose of creation - a lot of unhappy FSK and NSC rules, but they like the essence of competition. In this contest we will be able to collect all the best from these competitions.

Isn't what you want more or less called youtube and votes called views on the video? Anyone can represent anything on youtube and listen to any kind of music there. The sad fact is that to actually avoid the generic blandness and create some kind of distinctive community you need some sort of restrictions and rules.

And I certainly will enter with strange countries like that and make it unique. A lot of people however will go with boring countries like USA or UK or Sweden or Croatia, but I guess thats up to them :D

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

OK, no one is denying anyone the "equal rights" thing that people have been talking about.

That's definitely one of the core principles of the game, that every member will have the right to represent themselves in the same way. Ok, now that that's squared away, we can move along to the type of game that people want to have.

As for innovating, IMO (it doesn't have to happen, but it's my opinion) if you're gonna create contest, you might as well add something different to it, to add a special appeal to it that NSC and FSC do not have.

if our jury remains this small (even tho I expect 1 more person might want to join), we won't be boring anymore :mrgreen:

You can call as you want. xshrug And sorry but no one is basing voting by views on the video. This is most no sense thing I heard in a while. Based on that Croatia or any smaller country would not have chance to do well in any contest because singers in that country do not have so much viewers. That is not connected with songs quality. And I can say same if there is language rule because songs will be watched at youtube and voted on same way as without rule. I just think that language rule is unnecessary inventing and that anything you add to this is unnecessary. There will be rules and there is enough stuff to be different than other two contests.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

I think a 3rd contest is just too much... What if all the members of FSC start leaving FSC and join the new contest?

It was said a few times, that you don't have to leave FSC to join this one, you can be in both.
