Hey, here is a new game that I stole from another forum
Welcome to the first edition of the Eblah Video song contest! (EVSC)
What is it? The EVSC is a game where we can all share videos with songs that we love, find thought provoking, anything we like! Participants vote for their favorites and at the end we crown a winner, who can choose the category of the next round.
How to play: Simply select the video you want to enter, and PM it to me, "dara", with the Artist/song name and the url for the video. This time the topic is.. Anything! When we have enough entries, the edition will begin, I'll post them all here, and people need to PM me their votes before the deadline is up. The voting will be eurovision style, 12 points (best), 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. You can promote your entry once we begin if you like. Um, have fun..
Rules: -The video must contain music of some sort -It must be from youtube -You may not tell anyone your votes, nor collaborate with another person to win (unless a team event is specified) -If you do not vote within the deadline, 25% of your total score will be deducted -Do not reveal your entry before it is announced -You may not enter a video that has been entered before (I will make a history thread if this goes well) -Anyone not playing CAN vote, they will be counted as a jury vote
Yeah, there is no set topic this time so any song you want to enter you can. Then message me it in a PM When we have at least 10 people we can start, so I announce all the songs, you guys have a while to vote, etc etc.

can we have more than one entry? If not then don't count the one I'm sending, I'll come up with another one.
Edit: Nevermind, if we only can do one then it will be this one I'm sending, so I guess I don't need to know, and now that I think of it, we should probably limit it to one video per contest, but that's just my opinion.

Ok! We have 10 people! We will be starting tomorrow, Wednesday! So people, the deadline to enter is tomorrow afternoon! Then I shall make the draw, put up the videos, and we can start the contest! ^^ And I just ditched my maths assignment to make a banner
you award points on a scale of 1-8, 10, 12 to the people you want 1 point being the lowest and 12 points being the highest. A country (or in this case a person) cannot vote for the country they reside in. When all the results have been tabulated we will find out the scores. If there is a tie for first place ESC rules, a count is made of the total number of countries who awarded any points at all to each of the tied countries; and the one who received points from the most other countries is declared the winner. If the numbers are still tied, it is counted how many sets of maximum marks ("12 points") each country received. If there is still a tie, the numbers of 10-point scores awarded are compared—and then the numbers of 8-points, all the way down the list. In the extremely unlikely event of there then still being a tie for first place, the tied countries are jointly declared the winners. thats the esc version, i dont know how dara will co-ordinate it
Could Peter File please make his way to the EVSC Thread, check out the entries, and then give 12, 10, and 8 points to my entries!
Thanks Matts. I think he's saying, Paula, that we ignore the missing numbers, because Europeans are weird, and don't use them, and that we can vote two or more people as having the same score. So just score normally, but ignore the fact that there's missing numbers, or interpret the discrepancy in the sums however you want if it effects your scoring.
BTW guys, I did not send my entry in because it is my taste in music, , god forbid, I think Gunther is hilarious because he is so..... ummmm....... what's the word....... different? My 7 year old friend, Abby was here the other day and watched the video with me and started dancing like the girls. I laughed and said.... just don't dance like that in public!
you don't have to defend your entery SuziH...it is a catchy tune, anyway yours didn't get my lowest vote Maybe our entries should have been anonymous until the votes were cast......
Lol sorry i might have misconstrued my explaination. Ill give an example of scoring.
S2matts2 (cannot vote for as it is my entry) Dara - 1 point Paula - 2 points Candy - 3 points nannyfan7 - 4 points Glentheadmin - 5 points shawty - 6 points Meandean - 7 points juugoolart - 8 points suzih - 10 points Union Jack - 12 points
as there is 11 entries every person will recieve at least one point except yourself (because if you voted for yourself thats just lame). i have given each song a score from 1-8, 10, or 12 and thats how you will send your entry in. You can't given two or more people the same score.
note: these scores are an example only and is not necessarily how i scored. in addition my entry (as SuziH) does not represent my music taste, i just laugh every time i see it
Could Peter File please make his way to the EVSC Thread, check out the entries, and then give 12, 10, and 8 points to my entries!
Yeah, I have had about everyone but candy and matt do it wrong, and candy took 2 attempts
Paula, it is so that the favorite songs and the highest point scores are worth more, are more desired, because they are special and much more than normal, hence why we skip 9 and 11
