SIGNUPS CLOSED

So, this is baisically like eurovision. Same basic structure, although this is on NS, and nations of any region can join. If you do not know what Eurovision is, you can find info on it here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision).

How does this work: Everyone signs up in this thread, like you do for a world cup (simple "we sign up" post). then in the rp thread there will be 2 waves of rp's. In the first, posts shold give a description of the national final, and show the title of the nation's song and its artist. In the second wave, everyone posts their show. This should include what happens on the stage and that kind of stuff, and must include the lyrics, unless you post a video, wich gives you the ultimate nerd award, or post an MP3, which will put you close to getting the ultimate nerd award. Do not use artists/songs that exist in RL. Voting will be done IC, so you shoulld post your votes in the thread at that time, the way its done in eurovision ( giving the best songs (in your opinion) points, the best 12, second best 10, then next 8, then 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.

And no, i will not exclude people because of the form of their sign-up. You can even put gun smileys in it for all I care.

Puppets are allowed, but I would pefer you sign up only one.

but thats with the space, and in RL. this is without the space and in NS.

Um, I just want to make it clear... Does the two waves of RPs mean that we have to present the song twice (elimination round and final round), or does it mean that the first RP is for the songs, and the second one is for the voting?

No, the first time, all that needs to be disclosed it the artisit and title, maybe a general description, It's the stage when you choose what song you are doing. Then wave 2 is the contest, and there the lyrics are shown.

Will anybody be eliminated on the first round?

(Sorry if I sound like I don't know anything, but I haven't watched one of those Eurovision shows ever. I knew about it when Wikipedia articles about it get featured.)

There is only one round in this contest, which is covered by wave 2. Wave one is where you post about the song your country is doing. because in Eurovision every country selects the song representing their country, usually through a national constest.

(yes, I know in eurovision there is a semi-final and then a final, but this is different.

We sign up.

bump. also, just 3 spots left.

anyone?

since I am unable to find more nations to be in this, I withdraw my puppet Khenas, and scale this down to 16 countries, unless anyone objects.

No, that's fine. We could do brackets, like the World Cup. :P

And if you're going to edit anyway, there's no second N in my country's name. :)

Very well, the national finals (deciding what song your country is doing) should come within the next 24 hours, and then we will have the contest.

Actually I am keeping the point system, brackets don't work too good with a song contest in my opinion.

Also, if you have not noticed I already took care of that mistake.
