Another 11 templates have been sent out already, so that means @hckosice @heywoodu @Memo @bestmen @intoronto @titicow @vinipereira @FC Mezhgorye you guys will get yours tomorrow morning (my time) before I head out to vote in this year's elections. I'll let you all know when on Friday is the opening ceremony.

Update: Templates have been sent to the first 17 countries, and I fixed the format on some of them due to a copying error. I should have it all done by Wednesday the latest so I can focus on an equally important thing... the opening ceremony

Templates are being sent out starting today in the pre-determined running order, so if you haven't gotten yours yet, just hang on tight. I will get to you eventually.

Right, we're 5 hours apart right now. By Sunday my clock will go back one hour and yours will remain the same because you don't have DST I'm glad us geniuses can figure that out.

I fixed it for you, but the time difference will be 6 hours because of me going back to standard time

I'm putting the scoreboard together this week now that I got that last point.

No worries, since I have the templates, I will post them if needed. Regardless, you will get yours next week. But everyone will get a group PM later on today, in it I will be asking for opening and closing messages, so stay tuned

Yep. I'm making that sacrifice just for you (and my cat lol)

You can join us on November 10 for the big show, and maybe next year you can join @Agger on the Danish jury. I promise you it'll be the best fun you'll have here

Folks, I'm going to start sending out the templates to you next weekend, which is plenty of time for anyone here to contact @Damian because I'm still waiting for his first reserve. But I'm happy to say all your votes have been cast, but I haven't put them together yet, so even I don't know who won.

Tonight or tomorrow morning I will post the scheduled times for each jury to cast their vote for the November 10 show, and looking at previous schedules, expect it to be pretty similar.

We're using my time zone (Eastern Standard) so hopefully we don't go that late

You might want to consult Seamus for that

I'll pick 9 and the cat @OlympicIRL

The Olympic-like Mixed Music team where two countries will compete in a team, with one of the countries having a female juror. It's not really part of the contest, just something for fun. @dcro will tell you more

I'll be starting my task of putting the points together this weekend, but I'm still missing the first reserve from one member. By the way, the festival of music is open, so send us your countries (and their songs) here.

@africaboy @dareza @Damian check your PMs for further instructions

Yes, of course. I'll let him handle that part of the contest.

The voting period has ended, and I can confirm that we lost Uruguay, but it could've been worse. I'll have to go through my PMs to contact some of you who might have voted for Uruguay but didn't send me reserves. If so, you'll get a PM by tonight. We'll be starting the festival of music soon, and this weekend, I'll let you know about the team competition. If you remember how we did it with the annual contest earlier this year, it will be something similar. Let me know if you want to put a poll on the festival of music.

All we're missing now is @NaBUru38 and we only got 3 hours left

You have until 5pm today (your time)

If I don't receive their votes in 12 hours, then yes. @kungshamra71 @NaBUru38

As I stated, the deadline has been extended to Thursday, October 25 at 11 am EDT. I'm happy to report that only 5 people have yet to vote: @vinipereira @Janakis @kungshamra71 @justony @NaBUru38 Janakis has told me via DM that he's on some sort of a excavation, but he'll be able to vote, hence the deadline extension. And if Vini is in Uruguay and have limited access to the internet, do you think he would've sent in the votes before going on that trip? I'm asking for several forum members. Unfortunately, I haven't heard back from the other 3, but we got time.
