Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2018

[Memo 6]

Hi everybody! I am memo from Turkey. I apologize for participating to votation. I know it maybe difficult to accept a reason after all weeks. But really i havent keep in touch and watch the site because of my personal occupation. I really dont want you to understand my behaviour like ignoring you and the contest. I apologize again and wish that it wont be again in future.

While I appreciate @Memo's response, I've decided not to allow Turkey's votes in this edition. I have read all of the participants' inputs and it seems pretty divided wether to allow this participation or not, both by reasons cited here and by other concerns I have.

 

When it was time to register the songs, there was some talk about allowing users with no (or very little) participation on the forum, but then I've decided to follow the rules and allow Turkey's entry, mainly because the user was registered on Totallympics long enough (more than a year, I think, even if it was with a different account). So now it only seems fair that I follow the rules again. One thing is to extend a deadline for someone who asks for it (for any reason) or give any indication that they will vote, other is to allow votes after some important post-voting things already happened. Allowing such votes would definitely change some placings in the final ranking, and while that would be good for some nations, it wouldn't make others very happy - even if this contest is all about fun.

 

I have talked privately with Memo and invited him to take part in our Festival of Music next weekend and in the upcoming Open contest later this year, if he wishes so.

 

I hope we can move forward and next week I think we will have all the templates ready to go (I'm having trouble with the logo, but it should be presented soon).

Here's another idea, to make things even more complicated.

 

For each team (Brasilian city) you do not count points given to teams inside particular group.

Should I do something now? I see we are in groups. Why?

No, now we just wait for the Grand Final when the votes will be revealed. It will look like something like this.

 

As for the groups/teams part, that's for the first ever team competition. It's there for fun, and still the "individual" part is more important.

Thank you dear for the answer. This is so exciting.

No, it won't look anything like this, Lithuania will have much more points

Also: if we never see @Werloc post on Totallympics ever again, I very much recommend everyone to not investigate the circumstances. Stay. Away.
