Vote in this thread Clearly state the country you are voting from - we will check IPs! STRICTLY ONE SET OF VOTES PER IP ADDRESS
YOU CANNOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN COUNTRY IF ITS SONG IS REVEALED
ANY FRAUDULENT OR SUSPICIOUS VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED
Full details of the rules can be found below, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE RULES IN FULL BEFORE PARTICIPATING!
RULES OF THE RANKING GAME
1. Please vote for your favourite songs using the standard Eurovision points system (12 - 10 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1). In any rounds with less than 10 eligible songs, omit the lowest points as necessary. If you are using flags in your post then you must also clearly state the name of the country and ensure the correct flag is used to avoid confusion or errors. You may present the votes how you wish but the points and receiving countries must be clear. Any incomplete set of votes will not be counted, even in part.
2. Please post your votes in this thread publicly. ONLY votes that are posted in this thread will count towards the weekly results. Therefore, only registered forum members may vote in the game.
3. IF YOU LIVE IN A COMPETING COUNTRY, YOU CANNOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN COUNTRY! We will verify your IP and can also identify when a proxy is being used, and none of your points will be counted if you fail to submit a valid set of points. If your country is one of the first eleven countries to reveal their entry, please omit the lower points as appropriate.
4. When posting your votes you must CLEARLY indicate which country you are voting from. We will not count your votes if you fail to do so, and you will not be advised that this is the case, so you need to ensure your posted votes are valid.
5. Each round lasts 7 days. The round deadlines are every Saturday at 23:59 CET. A reset of all points back to 0 will occur at this point, so you must post your votes once more to count for the following round. You may begin voting in a new round as soon as the clock ticks into the Sunday. The weekly result will be posted by the end of Sunday here and via our weekly YouTube countdown video.
6. To reflect the unpredictable nature of countries revealing their entries, songs will immediately become eligible for voting once they are confirmed for Eurovision 2022 (to clarify - confirmed by the EBU or Eurovision.tv as representing the country). Eligible entries will be updated live in the first post.
7. Should you need to change your votes to reflect new entries in any given round, please re-post them and clearly mark *AMENDED VOTES* at the top of your post. Failure to do so will result in your changed votes not being counted.
8. We will check every single vote to ensure that they are legitimate and keep cheating to a minimum. However we reserve the right to not count your votes - without warning - in the weekly total if we feel they're fraudulent. Please make sure your votes are accurate and eligible before submitting.
9. STRICTLY ONE VOTE PER IP ADDRESS. Yes, you may have a friend or relative who is voting from the same household but it is impossible for us to verify that, therefore we have no other choice but to enforce this rule to reduce the risk of fraudulent voting.
This week's points from Finland! With some explanations accompanied.
12 p - Konstrakta - In corpore sano (This is just a very special performance: artistic, thought provoking and an earworm of a song too)
10 p - Kalush Orchestra - Stefania (I love Eastern European folk music and the danceable beat of this song - and the rap sections bring cool rhytm too)
8 p - Sam Ryder - Space Man (This has climbed up in my charts, it's such an endearing song that always makes me smile, and the guy has a great voice)
7 p - S10 - De Diepte (A very beautiful and touching song)
6 p - Maro - saudade, saudade (I may be biased because I love portuguese culture, but this song feels simply like a warm, soothing hug)
5 p - Circus Mircus - Lock me in (It was hard to decide where to place this. It's exactly the kind of weirdo indie rock music that I like out-of-Eurovision, however a bit too repetitive to make the very top)
4 p - Mahmood & Blanco - Brividi (Simply beautiful)
3 p - Ochman - River (Another simply beautiful song)
2 p - Monika LIU - Sentimentai (Intriguing, has a great vibe)
1 p - We are Domi - Lights off (Catchy & good beat)
Sadly dropping from my list: Alvan & Ahez - Fulenn (I'm not sure what to think about this song. I kind of love it, but then other times I find the beat just a bit too much and too messy)
