it would be cool if the contest went to Croatia, since the US has hosted recently. Although, perhaps someone else wants to run for hosting duties now too? It is also a fair point that perhaps they don't want to start the hosting process on such short notice, it would be great to hear from both parties.
-
We'll be able to move forward as a community, so you don't need to put all of that burden only on yourself, because I speak for everyone saying that we're here to help with our ideas and imput regarding the contest moving forward. As for the timing, I fully agree. We need at least some sort of break to reset, because if we would start to scramble for host right now, we would be disrespecting and brushing off the issue that we just had on our hands.

[PREDICTION CONTESTS] Discussion Thread
Werloc replied to Wanderer's topic in Totallympics Prediction Contests
I'll need to try and defend the title for the Biathlon contest, but I doubt I'm going to look good this year. I don't really have the time that I put into research last year. -
I'm actually watching the high-jumping in Slovakia via livestream. All I can say is that the male high-jumpers have a very bad music taste and Adrijus Glebauskas is also guilty of this picking something from our awful hip-hop scene. Airinė dropping out without reaching 1.90 is a good indication she is not yet recovered after her injuries.
-
I can honestly say, that it is hard to disagree with you on this point. In a perfect world, every person is made from sugar & spice & everything nice so that everyone can be a candidate with the same chances of hosting the contest. Although we still need to make sure the contest runs smoothly and that makes it difficult to take chances on people that have shown endless and endless examples of unreliability.
-
Candidacy works when people are actually voting, so you're mixing two very different concepts. We're talking about a random chance game, deciding something important. And you fully know what I meant. We don't need to scrutinise every candidate, because not a single soul said a single word against any other host in the past, but bestmen was a controversial figure that has done harm to the contest's integrity in the past.
-
bestmen has been in the hosting draw every single time we had an open bid, although if I remember correctly, he was once disqualified from bidding, due to an outrage of users disapproving of it. and yes, the second option, some participants could politely request a vote, though I don't think that would be necessary, unless he plans to bid more than once, I don't really see that many other users that people would have a problem with bidding.
-
Well, usually the winner hosted the contest and if the winner declined then we looked for replacement hosts. Before bestmen, we had Slovakia, Denmark, Serbia, Ireland, Lithuania, Mexico, Brazil, USA, Great Britain, Tunisia host (hopefully, I did not forget anyone ???) With Germany, Italy and Sweden having declined their hosting rights in the past. There were never really huge problems with hosting rights and hosts were selected through OlympicIRLs mini-games when the winner declined hosting rights. The only controversial hosting moment started from the time that bestmen aggressively campaigned to host the contest, verbally trashing every other host before him and he did it since fucking 2016. Edit: if my memory serves me correctly, on one occasion we did vote? But then it was decided that it is not a fair system. Or perhaps that was proposed, but declined due to the forum wanting to avoid a popularity contest.
-
Well, I wouldn't even be angry at all, if we would have had at least a prior vote before accepting his hosting candidacy, but everything was swept under the rug. He got denied hosting rights before due to his behaviour and if you ask me, his behaviour did not change in the slightest. Such a thing would never slide if it was a candidacy from that controversial German user or the user from India that bought a ticket on the drama train after the previous contest, but bestmen was overlooked due to his skillset with media and animation. He mocked not one, not two, but at least five or more contests during his participation period and had multiple instances of questionable behaviour regarding following the rules of this contest and even his own contest now. If there are more than 5 users that are skipping this contest that have been here with all of you since the very first one on the old forum, that means there was a huge problem that was not at all addressed. No Brazil, no Croatia, no Canada, no Great Britain, no Lithuania, no Slovenia. Some of the old users participating not that they want to, but to hold their participation record and that would have never happened with a different host or at least if things were handled differently.
-
He's also heavily talking about rules, but is the only host that closed the registration to the members, but everyone that registered after that set deadline were allowed in, because they were offline previously He also spat a lot of nonsense of making the contest attractive to newcomers and then turned on Israel like that
-
In 15 days, Lithuania will already have their representative as the 1st semi-final is going to be broadcast tomorrow, followed by the 2nd one on the 8th and the final in Žalgiris Arena on the 15th of February.
