I am going to try and update some of the stats pages.
For the record in terms of no. of entries per contest, its usually capped at 26, however Song Contest 100 lifted that restriction and they had 41 entries in. In terms of BOTB, this one has the most with 32, but BOTB 5 had 31.Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.-

Forgot to change this before posting the OP -- the above wording is incorrect. I'm gonna use the penalty system we've been using, and there are no bans.In post 0, Song Contest wrote:However, if those that entered and are accepted do not vote, they will get a 20 point penalty and be banned from entering in the next contest, so please consider that before entering.
I should be able to start posting results in...a bit. Anybody can submit or re-submit a ballot up until the final results post!-

Im going to presume I put my votes in correctly, not sure why I wouldn't have but meh.
Also I have been working out stats all afternoon. If there is a particular stat anyone is interested in, Ill have it/try to work it out.
Edited to add:
This is rough but I used to have the most contests under my belt (this is not including this one) with 90.
I am now 4th with
Panzer 3rd (101)
Parama 2nd (114)
Pickem 1st (124)
All the P's
CDB I think is 5th with 83. (Hito has 82 though, so that might have changed) They are rough figures though so I may have missed someone. (Jdodge had 78)Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.-

i probably have the most tbh because i switched accounts a while back (used to be Parama, see my sig) and have done something like a dozen more contests since then
parama has 121 contests (114 + 7 BOTBs)
cyril has 11 contests
so that's 132 in all
PEG has 131 contests (134 + 7 BOTBs)
so actually it's very close and i guess i'm not allowed to skip any more future contests if i want to retain my championship number-

Ah right, well that explains a couple of things, but yeah I didn't include BOTB's initially because I wanted to try and use JD's stat tracker that was overly convoluted. I also struggle to go with the name changes, I know Mathias had one at some point, as did BA.Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.-

mafiascum agrees: dirt poor robins
can't really complain as it was a quite good song that made me wanna check out the album (which i'll get to soon)
my streak of placing in the top 5 in every BotB remains unbroken so i'm cool with that-

I have a window with all the tabs open and a writeup started from sometime this week, I just got overwhelmed and couldn't allot the required time for 32 entries.
Really sorry guys! It doesn't look like my votes would have made much of a difference tho! What a landslide!
Taking a break from this again for a bit. I love these contests but if ya can't ya can't.
Still plan to listen to them eventuallyLast edited by Aristophanes on Fri Jun 12, 2020 10:48 am, edited 1 time in total.Half meme, Half real, All Aristophanes ;)- JingleAri has appeared way too competent for me to even pretend to know what they're thinking

Hell yeah. Seriously, go listen to more Dirt Poor Robins, they're a great band. If y'all want some recommendations, Welcome to Lady Hell, Furthest Star, Great Vacation, and Their cover of Eleanor Rigby.Natirasha is just a vestige, it's Contessa now.-

Just gonna post musings instead of what I normally do:
-Congrats Nati! Good song, loved the instrumental bits, and I'm happy with it winning even if it wasn't my 12
-Also pretty happy with my own song's showing. I consider the song that I first entered from Mae (Fisherman Song) to be their best, so I wish I could've entered that in BotB instead. But anybody who liked what they heard, I would recommend the whole (M)orning EP. There are scattered good/great songs on (A)fternoon (The Cure, Falling Into You) and (E)vening (Bloom, I Just Needed You to Know, My Favorite Dream) as well, though I think overall they're just not as good as (M)orning. The Everglow is also a really good album, though it's one of those albums where it's good because the songs work together and not necessarily because of individual great songs. The latest album (Multisensory Aesthetic Experience) is pretty good too, they get more experimental and electronicky.
-BAFFLED at how low Djibouti, Nicaragua and Hungary scored.
-King Crimson also probably shoulda scored higher.
-There was a ton of competition, though, so I think that adds to the possibility that a lot of entries were, like, people's 11th pick and just missed out on points.
-I hear what you're saying about safe picks, Nati, but I also get the sense that a lot of the songs that were entered are the kinds of songs that could grow on you after multiple listens."Half of the game is figuring out who the scum is.
