I appreciate the support, but I've already given plenty of chances to the NSC contests and feel that continuing any further is not worth it. Last time I reserved a eurobeat song (one of my personal favorites, "I Just Wanna Find You"), it finished dead last. Music has always been one of the most...

Sorry, but after several more months of contemplation, I have officially decided to retire Nurdia from NSC. I wanted to at least make it to edition 200 and send at least one eurobeat entry. Predictable result, though at least it wasn't last. I do horribly enough in these contests that it...

Me not qualifying is nothing new, it doesn't matter what I send. If anything, the Pamsy entry was one of my better-performing entries, at least being near the qualifiers in the regular vote.

I thought it was the 3rd for some reason, not the 2nd.

Of course I got last.

Well, it took awhile, but the thrill is sure worth it! :love:

Thanks for the messages everyone...I'll stick it out at least a little longer. Sorry I haven't been more proactive.

If I reserved eurobeat it would likely rank dead last. That already happened to "I Just Wanna Find You" in WLSC 192, so I was pretty convinced anything else I chose would be just as passed up as anything else I tried out.

I don't feel like I've done anything specifically wrong, but I feel like I'm naturally at a disadvantage because people don't know me enough. I can't be convinced at this point that there's not at least some bias in favor of other, more established members of the site who talk about their...

I gave people the benefit of the doubt at first, but now I don't fully buy it. It makes sense that people who are actively involved in the community are inclined to appreciate each other's entries more easily, while those who haven't said as much will be handicapped. I would have probably become...

Effective immediately, Nurdia is retiring from NSC. It has become increasingly evident that there's a level of prejudice against my song choices, probably because I'm not active enough on these forums. I gave these contests a chance, but the environment here has not made me feel welcomed and I...

We're entering this into NSC 193:

Well shoot, I did not expect the deadline to be this fast amidst the spin-off contest also going on. I was too swamped with other things to even check in before it was too late. :confused:

I'm not even angry at the person who made the picture because I don't expect anyone to know how much it felt like rubbing salt in the wound, coming from my situation. I was just genuinely riding on my 189 entry to be the one to break the streak and give me a result I was more satisfied with, and...

It's eclectic, to say the least, but thus far it has backfired every single time. The reason I care about the results so much is that I feel like an outlier right now in bad performance and it makes me feel very out of touch with this community. It's sort of just a mindset you have to experience...
