Re: Creating new contest on the forum

yeah but as far as I can see, u can send an entry from any country xshrug (maybe I'm mistaken)

Yes,but it's totally different kind of contest.

You choose your country's name.For example LakoNoktos ( I reminded that first xrofl ) and then you choose entry for each month,and you can choose whatever song you want.So it's a contest in which every member plays seperately.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

Where did you get to have to join your own country idea from my posts? Even if that is the case you could find plenty of singers from your country singing in other languages.... You could perfectly well for example end up with 10 artists who are usa citizens

Nowhere, but the most people will want to play for their countries. ;)
Sorry, I do not know much USA citizens that are singing in Croatian (my country). :? Anyway, if they sing in some other language, it is not that much probably that all of their songs are on that language and that they will be good for contest. Maybe USA singers have some songs in other languages (France, Italian, etc.) but most of songs are on English and it would be difficult to find a good song at other language of that singer. ;)

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

Do you understand that a) your argument could be made the same way for fsc or the new contest using countries b) since when is the goal of the contest to win - how is it an imbalance? The idea is to discover new good music and if world hits which everyone have heard of are not being entered, then it is good. Saying that there is some imbalance are implying that you want to enter the contest mainly to win.

2ndly you are somehow assuming that people should want to join their countries. No, that is what fsc is for and it has it's benefits, but people who like that system already go to fsc. So what would another country based contest bring to the table if everyone would join their own country/language? you are making some major false assumptions here.
And noone has ever said that people are supposed to wait, you are simply pulling that argument from your ass.

Your post really doesn't have any sense.I said three times what is enough to make it different from FSC and NSC.

And if someone doesn't like idea,he/she doesn't need to participate xshrug

And btw,Trece will play for Argentina,and he is from Belarus.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

Not to intrude in the current conversation (of tonight) but the name I came up with this afternoon (for this new contest) is: Country Contract Contest (CCC). Because each one of us will be able to choose to be in the jury of any country, for a period of time (6, 8 or 12 months or longer). How about that? I think ForumVision sounds a bit dull.

I like the name, but the abreviation is a bit controversial in la petite Belgique :lol:.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

I'm for the Language Song Contest. Everyone has their own opinion, so mine is I can't see why there is a need for a FSC copy, so that we can play with other countries, I do this all the time in the monthly spin-offs. I don't think I would join it, the spin-offs have something special compared to this (Christmas songs, football songs, which makes it fun). Anyway, it's up to the administrators to look which option is better or more popular :).

Everyone has their own opinion,ofc :mrgreen:

It's best to open the poll about this.But for benefit of this game,I really suggest NOT to have Language Song Contest,because I know that less people will participate.

That is actually something which is both a bad idea and I can not see working (as one is based on countries and the other on languages which don't mix well). When i talked about forum subforum not a part of other contest.

So what would another country based contest bring to the table if everyone would join their own country/language? you are making some major false assumptions here.
And noone has ever said that people are supposed to wait, you are simply pulling that argument from your ass.

a) No, because there is not that big imbalance in FSC because there is biggest jury Croatian with 9 members (not 10 as it was written before here + there is few more with 6,7 members and mostly are with 1-3) while English as official language in 54 countries and Spanish as official in 21 countries would be are too much bigger than other languages which (logically and proporcionally) implies much bigger imbalance.
b) So then we do not voting, language rule and anything. We can simply open a thread and posting music links there and share the music, right?
And please do not imply for me what is my mainly reason to imply the contest. We are here to share music and I'm happy to discover songs that I will have on my mp3 (if I like them) but this is supposed to be competitive contest and of course I do not send song to be last but to be better as much as I could. ;)

Yes, I assuming that. And I said, MOSTLY, not all people. And I like that system, I go at FSC and I'm going to this contest and I want to join for Croatia (and as same as daniels and Lak so far).
Also, I do not make any of major false assumptions here. Because I said that everyone has a right to join in country what he/she wants! I want to join to Croatia, that is ok. Trece wants for Argentina that is ok. He is also member of FSC and he is not going for his country. I'm member of FSC and I going for my country and that is ok to. No one said that all FSC-ers will join to their countries. Also, some people can NOT join to their countries in FSC because of ROW (for example Netherlands and Slovakia right now and they could do it here)!

I said that if someone from Chile competes in Spanish NF on Spain language with competitors from Mexico, Spain, Argentina to represent Spanish language he has smaller chances to win that NF for example from competitor in Croatian language NF. So, someone from Chile joins in Spanish NF, and loses in that NF from someone from Mexico, he has to wait for his new chance until next edition! That is very valid argument.

+ With more countries (and we will have them more because in just two biggest languages we have 75 countries) we will discover more music, no?
p.s. We are discussing and that is ok. So far I haven't said you any rude word to and you started telling them to me in last sentence. That is very rude.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

We are currently talking about it, we'll see how these two things can interact with each other.

Yeah of course :), but the parts Trece quoted don't fit together.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

Let's make a rule, that a country can have up to 3 members - this will end the worries about overcrowded juries of specific countries. After 3 months have passed, the juries will be replaced by other ones.

This contest idea was born because of the strict rules and wl and row of FSC & NSC. It's supposed to be a more "free" contest than other 2. Kicking out members is not very a good idea imo :D

I really agree with daniels! :D
If we can't agree (and obviously can't) let's make the poll then.
