Which spin-off should be the 5th one? | DEADLINE: 15th February, 14:00 CET

[Mozz]

No, it's all a risk, if you're not prepared to send something from any country, then it's better you don't take part.

Also, considering that the spin-off name is country randomizer, it's only natural that regions should be banned. Otherwise, someone may choose something like a small region of Burundi and someone else would have to send music from it

Or only allow regions from bigger Western countries, could also be an option.

Or... allow only existing WV countries/regions.

Or... allow only existing WV countries/regions.

I think this could be an option.
I find it interesting the idea of ​​a country randomiser and I even voted for it.
But if there will be suggested too many exotic countries, it could affect on quality of the music. And then I don't know if I want to participate and listen to all this.
I'm not afraid to get country with unfamiliar music scene, but if most of the other songs will be not enjoyable, it's not so interesting.

The spin-off is called Country Randomizer, so only countries are allowed.

Btw, yay, best option won. My favorite spin-off I ever took part was this one in FSC

 

[hawadharma]

I am happy with country randomiser!!

It will be fun if each participants swap songs from each others' countries, instead of being given a random country that never participates..

Exactly what I am thinking.

When we had this spin-off in FSC I got Gabon and I didn't know anything about Gabonese music, but then I found very nice songs from there, and I even came 2nd.

I think the most boring thing is to suggest countries like USA, UK, Australia and this kind of countries. It will not differ at all from a normal WV edition.

I think we can have that under another spin-off theme 'Exotic countries' / 'Songs from hidden countries' ..

Swapping between existing countries is much more fun.. It will be like 'being in each other shoes' ..

So it's settled? My idea won't be considered? It still will be a country randomizer with only WV countries allowed, you still will be forced to choose a song from a drawn country

Absolutely agree.

We will not take randomly countries from the map and randomize them. Each participant will suggest a country, and then will be randomized by the host using random.org. But nobody should get the country he suggested.

 

[EmperorG]

Ah ok. Then I'm not taking part then. Don't see the fun in this at all.

why? it's really awesome... In the last country randomiser (FSC) I got Yemen....It's a really strange country, but, I found many songs to send xchicken Trust me, you will find something, from any country

 

[EmperorG]

the best option won

 

[Gera11]

2nd and 3rd were so close

 

[EmperorG]

2nd and 3rd were so close

the whole poll was close, not only 2nd & 3rd

as, this is the fun with that... to find songs from exotic countries or islands... for me, was the best spin-off i never take part in... people found songs even from Guinea-Bissau, Nauru and Palau...

For me it's going to be very time consuming having to explore the music scene of a country I don't know any artists from and then to find a song I enjoy on top of that. I don't have that kind of time. Plus it's also a control issue for me. I don't like the idea of not being able to choose the country you'll be sending a song from. Simple as that.

It doesn't even have to be exotic places like Yemen. I would be clueless even if I got a non-western European country.

 

[Steffan]

I am sure many others will appreciate the chance to discover a lot of new music and this will be an exciting spinoff

Don't worry stargazer.. FoFo found a lot of lists that are about that kind of countries music..

 

[EmperorG]

Gera, y u no open a new confirmation thread, about that one..:? because, it will take a lot of time, if we wait until the ending of the other spin-off... also, you will randomise the countries, so we can start suggesting countries now...
