Variota Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Welcome to the greatest music show on Eurth; the EurthVision Song Contest! No, it's no joke, it's really that time of the year! Last year, we had to arrange for a lot of things such as choosing a name, choosing a host bid, setting up some rules and what not. We're extremely lucky that a lot of that isn't needed this year as the name is set, the host bid is set, most of the rules are set. And maybe if you win this edition, you'll get to get the honor of hosting it next year. Some basics: SIGNUP. To start, you must sign up for EurthVision. Do so by using the form below and posting that you sign up in this thread. At the moment, I'm not putting a set cut off date on it but once enough nations have shown their interest and it starts to slow down, we'll put one on it. You won't be penalized if you sign up and don’t end up posting a song, things happen. (You'll make me cry though.) Once the cut off date has passed, I'll open up the IC thread and you'll be able to post your IC performance. In case people are interested in it, we can have commentary RP by the media; either in a different thread or as posts between the various performances. You won't have to write a song, in case that's not your jam but having some public figure tell your viewers at home what he thinks is, although we'll obviously be very glad to have you join us if you decide to do both. HOSTING. As said before, I will be hosting this year's edition in the gorgeous city of Ferrefaaierhafen. You might have seen my news article about the stadium bidding. Whomever wins will be in charge of hosting next year's edition, unless that person feels somewhat uncomfortable with doing so. No harm done if so, don't feel pressured. If that happens, we'll do hosting bids for it once this time of the year comes around again. ROLEPLAY. The contest is based upon the Eurovision Song Contest: nations will RP the performance of their song. We require you to write your own lyrics for the song you enter into EurthVision; the melody you use is entirely yours to choose and should, for ease, be linked in your sign up and in your eventual IC post. YouTube is generally preferred. 80% of your song has to be original and translating lyrics, from French to English as an example, doesn't count as original lyrics. The 80% is a fair number as it allows you to keep repetitive bits like the occasional 'yeah yeah', 'nah nah nah' and such without being disqualified. Nations are free to choose to host a national final, like I myself did last year, or internally select their representative. It's encouraged to use your nation's language, although you're free to write in English or any other language. Do try to provide an English translation however, if you decide to write in a different language. VOTING. Once the IC thread has been posted, nations will submit songs before the deadline (which I will post once the cut-off date for signups and such has been established). After the deadline, nations may not edit or alter their song or performance in any way. This is to keep it fair to everyone. After the deadline, nations vote. Last year, we divided 20 points (IC'ly split between 10 from the audience at home, 10 from a professional jury of musicians and such from your nation) among each other's acts. In case the amount of nations joining in stays under 10, I suggest we keep to that method of voting. In case 10 or more join in, which I obviously hope, I suggest we change the voting into ranking their top ten songs in the following format of 12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 points. Votes will be sent to me via PM here or on Discord and kept secret until the final reveal either way. You may not vote on yourself and every nation that posted a song has to vote. The sign-up sheet: Spoiler Nation Name: Your nation's name goes here.Official Broadcaster: Your official broadcaster for EV goes here.Song Title: The IC Song title goes here. In case you want to have a national final, please put National Final here. Artist(s) Name(s): The name of your act goes here. Same as with the song, put National Final here if you plan on having one.Tune: The real life tune you're basing your song on goes here, please provide a link as well as the name of the tune.Lyrics: The lyrics to your song, must be 80% original as discussed. It's not a problem if you don't have them right away, just ensure you have them here by the time the IC thread opens up.

Variota Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 With Shffahkia signing up, we've reached 10 nations. If everyone ends up participating or more sign up but we end up with atleast 10 nations, we'll move to the 'new' voting system. Should people prefer to go back to the single point pool voting system afterwards, we can use that again for next edition. Link to comment
Derthalen Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Nation Name: The Holy Empire of Derthalen Official Broadcaster: The Imperial Derthaler Military News Service Song Title: He Didn't Come Back From the Patrol Artist(s) Name(s): Rune Thor-Kind Tune: He Didn't Come Back From the Battle Lyrics: Quote Why isn't it like that? Everything is always the same: My uniform is blue again, Same forest, same air, and same water... Only, he didn't come back from the patrol. I don't know who was right about us any more. In our arguments between fights and rest. I only missed him now - When he didn't come back from the patrol. He never shut up and did not march in time, Isn't that what I always would say? He kept me awake, He'd get up in the morning, - But didn't come back from the patrol last night. What's empty now is the place I had in my heart: Suddenly I noticed that there were two of us... To me, it's like the wind blew out a light, When he didn't come back from the patrol. It was as if winter had entered me to stay. I called him by mistake: "Friend, leave it alone for some tea!" And in return - silence: He never came back from the patrol yesterday. Our dead will not leave us alone and afraid, Our dead are like sacred guards... Hidden up in the sky, in the woods, like in the water. And the trees are them. We had plenty of times when together, Where we were running for both of us to live... I'm all alone now. Only it seems to me - He's not the only one who stayed out on the patrol. Link to comment
