Re: Creating new contest on the forum

I will make a google document/survey tonight or tomorrow morning USA time with all of the issues that we've talked about recently. It's more efficient than doing polls, so we're gonna do it that way

From the poll
The following will be the basic core feature of the game: Every one will be have the opportunity to represent themselves as equals of one another (no WL/ROW type of situations).

Language Contest is contrary to this rule because countries will unite into groups by language(ROW-2)

Ehm.. No it wouldn't = ROW 2? I don't get how you can make comparison from juries of language to ROW which is 4? countries (with no language relation at all) jammed together because the contest would be overfilled if they didn't do it in the mods (and I guess some users) opnion :)

Why do you keep speaking about countries in relation to a contest that doesn't use the idea of countries at all?! Forger the geographic borders, they don't play any role in the language contest what-so-ever! Just open your mind, for god's sake, cause i feel you're too blinded by the concept of nationality to see the world is more diverse than that, politics isn't everything and the world map can be looked at from many different perspectives.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

What are the rules? Every member can join every edition with any song? That's what it seems to be most fair, if there will be one country per member than it would make no differance compared to FSC and NSC.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

Explain again

LSC
We have for example the Spanish (lang) jury, which includes 4 people.
A new person comes to a forum from Chile. He can not participate in the FSC as Chile (only as ROW), he can not participate in the NSC (only as WL), and he can not participate as Chile in LSC (Only as part of the Spanish lang jury) Hence the probability that the contest will be sent the song is from Chile - 1/5. Therefore it is likely that the Chilean song will never be able to participate in the contest because in the selection of Spanish lang jury will win the Spanish or Mexican.

ForumVision
Person comes from Chile, and sends without problems Chilean song every edition.

You are right. I was indignant about ROW section of FSC, and me offered create a new competition without it. That's why I created the theme.
Now, I impose a completely different contest, which again will be a lot of restrictions and new people from countries that do not participate in the BIG-40 in FSC again not be able to participate on equal rights.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

I am sorry that you joined the contest part of the forum a little late.. - But I would I really doubt that a FSC unlimited will gain that much support to be honest.. But go ahead, just dont get dissapointed... - That is the reason why most people support the Language contest because it would be an actual 3rd contest on the forum.. And you have equal rights no matter what contest you are in.. so don't overuse that term.. Its overused already :)

Couldn't that Chilean person just send his song in Spanish the following edition instead? Why does he have to be part of a 10-member jury to send his desired song? If LSC will be a contest with individual participants (hopefully it will be) there won't even be such problem, then it's all about confirming it first.

If I choose the Spanish jury, then no one else can. And then again, it will be a big limitation. And every time I'll send Argentine song, and Chilean never will be.

Re: Creating new contest on the forum

I believe that both Argentina and Spain and Chile should have equal rights and send your songs each release, if they wish.

How is that a limitation? xD
I see it as fairly liberating that you can switch language every month without having to worry about others. And btw, why are you so assured that everyone are gonna want Spanish? If you'd wanna stick to the same language every single month, that's cool, but I see that as more of a limitation than anything else. In LSC it's about open-mindedness and thinking outside the box other than stubbornly sticking to the conservative ideas of established juries.

Because almost all of my favorite songs in Spanish (but not only of Spain), and I want to send something that I love, not something that I have to because of restrictions, as in FSC
Each month, we at the Belarusian jury did not know who to send, because all our music is crap, and we have to send Koldun each month :lol: (though he was born in Belarus, he is Russian singer)
