Most dominant until it comes to international competition. Although, these girls had a few decent runs before, but I don't recall them ever making it to a huge tournament. As for scores like 21-0 and 25-0, I think that only one out of a hundred Lithuanians would actually be able to name a second women's football team without resorting to google and I'm in that crowd of 99/100 as well.

The Southpark avatar already makes you cool in my book

Woah, honestly didn't expect that our 4 men boat would win the gold I wonder what our doubles can do tomorrow.

Something completely unrelated, but it was pretty much the first time when I subconsciously decided to click on other people's profiles and I was blown away to find out many people that I've thought were much older than me, are actually younger or the same age as me and all in all, our forum is mostly populated by youngsters

It's nice to see how our constant tagging of forum users keep getting us more entrants on TISC. It's your turn, @Finnator123

@ahjfcshfghb Hey, perhaps you're interested in bringing the Czech Republic back into the contest?

Interesting, our women's team managed to end in a draw against Germany

You and me both

Well, I've never really thought about possible winners when voting, but having managed to always give points to eventual winners during all of the editions, I am, for the first time, actually getting nervous, because I don't want to ruin my statistics

Well, I did say for the first time in forever. Vietnam's participation seems ages ago.

This is no longer a committee, but a full on government.

The semi-finals are just a figment of your imagination, they were never in the rule book, we don't talk about it. Although, it would make it a bit easier for me, since I'm having a very hard time as it is awarding only a set of twelve points between 40+ countries, even though it's a possibility that there would be possible bitterness related to the draws of semi-finals and of course those, that would not qualify. Edit: Like, there is nothing worse in this world than Eurovision fans on Youtube, I'm pretty glad that TISC is mostly a friendly environment.

Well, with the song and voting deadlines still to come, we're still not out the water yet, sadly

If that were to happen, I think that @OlympicIRL would have to double down with the help on the templates To some a dream, to others, a nightmare

Still, to this day, my biggest heartbreak is Switzerland. Was a very nice, friendly user, had her on Facebook even. Their song that year was the best 12 points that I have awarded throughout all of the TISC's and I keep listening to it on Spotify to this day.

I remember him always picking songs that were by Eddy Grant, I guess he stopped participating, because all of the hit songs were used

There's also the user from Montenegro that after a couple of years of bad results said that he will stop participating in TISC and hasn't registered to this day. Edit: and I think that the Czech Republic is missing a few now?

@dezbee2008 Congratulations for not being the last country alphabetically for the first time in forever #UruguayGoesForTheSave

Estonia and Uruguay on the same day?????? That's amazing news! @Herki 2014 was the only year when all three Baltic countries participated, but after that we haven't seen neither Latvia, nor Estonia in our contests, so it is pretty nice to get such a comeback after all this time. Other pretty old comebacks would include countries like Norway, Vietnam, that we haven't seen from the very first editions. Sweden and Switzerland have been missing for a very long while, Australia, can't recall others, because I don't have my spreadsheet in front of me.

LITHUANIA So, I have decided to go with the risky route and honestly, having participated in TISC so many years, I kind of have the feeling from which users I can expect some points, because they find this style of music fairly appealing (or at least I'm lead to believe they do). It's a very old song, like, I was not even born kind of old, by a very famous (at that time) band FOJE and yes, it's the third time Lithuania decides to compete with a song in Lithuanian (The lyrics, of course, translated below by me and I advise you to read them along with the song), as of now, it seems to work out 50% of the time, so let's see if my feeling to pick this song is going to be justified in the months to come. FOJE - Kitoks Pasaulis (A Different World) Verse 1 Žiūri aplink, stebiesi viskuo, (You're looking around, surprised by everything) Daiktus matai savo šviesoj. (You see all of the stuff in your own light) (own light = from your perspective) O jeigu viskas yra ne taip (But what if everything is not how you perceive it?) Ir tu pasaulį regi atvirkščiai? (And you're seeing the world the wrong way?) (differently from everyone else) Chorus: Galbūt ne garsas skamba tyloj, o tyla garse. (Perhaps it's not the sound that is playing in the silence, but the silence playing in the sound) Ką apie tylą žinome mes? (What do we even know about silence?) Galbūt ne šviesos žiba tamsoj, o tamsa jose. (Perhaps it's not the lights that are shining in the dark, but the dark is shining in the lights) Kiek dar nedaug suprantame mes. (There is so much that we don't understand) Verse 2 Žiūri aplink, viskas tvarkoj, (You're looking around and everything seems fine) O ar žinai, kas bus rytoj? (But do you have any idea on what is going to happen tomorrow?) O jei pasaulis apsivers? (What if the world turns upside down?) Kitom akim žiūrėti privers. (Will force you to witness everything through different eyes) Chorus: Galbūt ne garsas skambės tyloj, o tyla garse. (Perhaps it's not the sound that will play in the silence, but the silence will play in the sound) Ką apie tylą žinome mes? (What do we even know about silence?) Galbūt ne šviesos žibės tamsoj, o tamsa jose. (Perhaps it's not the lights that will shine in the darkness, but the darkness will shine in the lights) Kiek dar nedaug suprantame mes. (There is so much that we don't understand) Verse 3 Tu pabandyk pasižiūrėt (You should try looking around) Gal kiek netaip, gal kiek kitaip. (Perhaps not like that, perhaps a little bit differently) Tikiu, paprasti daiktai apsivers, (I believe that the simplest of things will turn upside down) Ką nors neregėto ir naujo atvers. (They will open up something new that you have never seen before) Chorus 2x

Now the real question is if I want to continue with the good results and pick a song that I think would do well here or pick a song that could be a candidate for last place

This is what I'm talking about! Everyone is already posting songs and I had no clue it was happening. The only thing that reminded me to check Totallympics today is when I saw a news article of Sagan winning gold and I thought "hey hckosice must be happy"

Lithuania will be continuing the tradition of participating in TISC Edit: You'll just have to keep reminding me and tagging me before the major deadlines, because I'm not as confident in my abilities to keep track of things at the moment.

If you knew what a trainwreck my life is at this moment, you wouldn't be that shocked

What a twist
