if I remember correctly, he wrote in this thread that it was Slovakia? I think everybody was meme'ing, because the flags are fairly similar.

Not really, Kočergina is at the end of her career, not really sure how much longer will she last. Marija Kresik was comfortably the third best Lithuanian last year, but for some reason she didn't start anywhere and I don't have any info behind that. Lidija Žurauskaitė will be getting her passport any day now and then she'll be able to represent Lithuania. I forgot to mention, but it's likely that Sara Urumova will start in the IBU cup too, but she doesn't really have any prospects. Then there's also Kapancova that's looking a bit better this season, but also miles away from actually doing damage in a race.

I know it's not official, but it's pretty safe to assume that team Lithuania will consist of: Men: Vytautas Strolia Tomas Kaukėnas Karol Dombrovski Linas Banys Women: Natalija Kočergina Gabrielė Leščinskaitė As for the IBU cup, it will probably be alternated between these names: Men: Maksim Fomin Nikita Romanov Jokūbas Mačkinė Stepan Terentjev Lukas Jakeliūnas Women: Lidija Žurauskaitė Marija Kresik

I'm tempted to just PM the users that haven't voted so that I could move on with my life

Yeah, we really should have ended this on Monday evening...

No, you cannot switch your entry in the middle of the competition

Well, we can't really continue by ourselves, because a lot of people aren't here and we would need access to the templates, which we don't have.

Depends on the person. I'd rather burn through the entire day than doing it on both Saturday and Sunday.

Nah, I'd rather keep the format in a single day, because it's a fun day for everyone to get together, feel the spirit of TISC, share memes and such, then I can use the next day to work and do other things. Also, we've had many times seen cases where countries get 3-10 points in the second half of the contest, imagine being in 6th place, all excited, all to wait an extra day to find out that the RNG shuffled everybody that voted for your song in the first half of the competition. Or the other way around, we usually end the contest with every country getting some points, whilst we can have a case where somebody ends day 1 on a zero. I don't think that dragging it for two days would be necessary.

I swear I'm gonna murder someone if we're doing a 90 minutes one by one vote reveal for the last jury

I'd say let's do an all-nighter without a break and we should be done by like 2 A.M or something It's not too demanding to post templates that are already done, since the scoreboard is not being updated.

I think we should be back in business in 30 minutes or such. Perhaps. Probably. Hopefully.

Me apparently

What about 31st? Would you settle for that and come back next year, please?

The only time that language actually impacts my scoring is lousy English lyrics. The few English songs that we have this contest really brought their A-game, whilst native language songs this year felt a bit underwhelming for my personal taste.

It seems that Shawn Mendes just can't catch a break

Did Canada just go and decide that every white and red flag is getting high points tonight?

I have a good feeling about possibly getting something back from Denmark this contest, since the song is between the wavelengths of what they tend to like Thought I could get some points from you too, didn't expect that many though

It was about time

Lithuania Czech Republic 12 United States 11 Brazil 10 Serbia 9 New Zealand 8 Poland 7 Hungary 6 Denmark 5 China 4 Mexico 3 Indonesia 2 Germany 1 Sorry for murdering the Czechoslovakian trophy even more, but the song and the vocalist were both very good Reserves: Spain, Great Britain and Ukraine

So, anybody brave enough to try and guess my twelve points?

Lithuania United States 11 Brazil 10 Serbia 9 New Zealand 8 Poland 7 Hungary 6 Denmark 5 China 4 Mexico 3 Indonesia 2 Germany 1

Lithuania Greetings in Native Language: Labas English Translation: Hey, @Wanderer I'm here to save you from that tie with Ireland Brazil 10 Serbia 9 New Zealand 8 Poland 7 Hungary 6 Denmark 5 China 4 Mexico 3 Indonesia 2 Germany 1

I can go ahead with my votes now?

Yes, we already had The Weeknd win recently with a viral song
