NSC 204 SEMI 1

Are you all still here? ...What do you mean you just got started?
Bah, okay then!

The allocation and draw is done, pots were used (I refuse to comment on the rumors that I used my old chamberpots for the purpose), and it's time to begin the first semifinal of Nation Song Contest 204!

Allow yours truly to present the entries through the mightiness of...
ONE-MAN INTERPRETATIVE THEATER

And there's a few who got lucky last time but must still do their democratic duty here, tough luck:





And now it's time to decide which songs you disliked the least! Participants of this semi and rest juries alike, send your votes of 1-8, 10 and 12 points to
@Roffbeard the Mighty!
or to Fearnavigatr/Jochen through your messaging service of choice

Deadline: Tuesday, 19 April, 23:59 CEST

Now try not to disturb me while I paint the roof, hosting contests doesn't mean your chores go away.

Gotta say, the work on the banner is legendary! Love it!

 

[theditz83]

Oh my god, these banners are just.....

So original, amazing work King Roffbeard! Got me saying "WhU-galy???"

 

[Leaf]

lmao these are too good (loving and ), you really went all out here!

 

[nofuxCZ]

one of the most iconic shows ever love it

 

[dogmeat]

lach brilliant

 

[Leaf]

voted in both semis, this one was okay although I felt semi 2 had higher highs (albeit with lower lows

)

 

[doctormalisimo]

I think is my favourite banner. Simple yet tells a story

 

[Roffbeard]

Here comes the best part, the naming and shaming of procrastinators, mwahaha!

Fervorosia @pyryniemi
Yaponesia @takeru
Rumia @dogmeat
Kadis @MARCOMEN

Get voting! My dinner is getting cold from waiting!

Off-character:
If you need an extension, that's fine, votes (including reju) will be accepted throughout the night and morning.

If you've reju voted and don't see your name in the second post of the thread, let me know ASAP!

 

[zechhh]

I just erased my shame.

Best banners ever!

 

[Fearnavigatr]

Still missing three voters in this semi.
Fervorosia and Rumia have both been in touch, but I haven't heard from Kadis yet. @MARCOMEN
(Tried to send a reminder, but inbox was full, left a profile post instead.)

Lines will be open for additional rest jury voters until sometime in the afternoon, I will give a heads up before the cut-off.

 

[Fearnavigatr]

(Let's skip the spoiler tag this once for the sake of visibility)

Kadis still AWOL. Your nation needs you @MARCOMEN !
If anyone has a way of contacting Oualid outside the forum, please send him a poke.

I will accept your votes until 18 CEST, I can extend this slightly further if I get a notice before then that the votes are on their way.
Same goes for any potential additional rest jury voters.

Locking the results after that and will be presenting them in the evening.

EDIT: Everyone has now voted! Will not go back on my word, so rest juries are open until 18 CEST as promised.

 

[Roffbeard]

Lines are completely closed, no more votes will be accepted!

Stay tuned for some mighty results in a few hours! (21 CEST approx.)
