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.
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.
