Also, regarding you’re top 12 @Wumo. We have similar taste (besides Nordic people’s weird affection with Hard Rock). I used to be all about alternative music (and still love it), but I’ve become a bigger fan of Indie, and modern classical music. Barring #12, great list. Many of songs might just make their way to my playlists.

@Wumo I like “Watergun”, but it’s still no “Dramophone”

I have so, so many questions. Why are the tickets golden? Why did people by them? What planet is Stevie from? What type of drugs are these people on? How does one get as chill as these people? Why does Jesus hang out at KFC? (I always thought he was more of a McDonalds man myself) What drugs is Stevie’s is planet made of? Is Jesus complicit in the crime? Who would actively try to do a sting op on Jesus? Why is the women’s statement a mood? What kind of American names their child “Tito”? Also, and probably most importantly; How does the baby alligator play into all of this?!?!

Is it bad that I don’t actually hate this? The only issue I see with it is that it continuously blows out my speakers.

The heartbreaking story about Katie Uhulander’s career: https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2019/12/27/katie-uhlaender-finishing-skeleton-career-on-her

Wise words, I respect this very much. I’ll wait and see what others do before I make my final decision. I’ve made my thoughts clear, and I feel better about the state of the contest.

Yeah I like the classic races. I like it all; Sprint, Individual, and Mass Start. I do wish they’d focus on longer distances for the Tour De Ski. There should 1 (maybe 2) sprint(s), a short individual, a long individual, 2 (or 3) (very) long mass starts, and the final stage up the climb (in pursuit format). There should also be no break days either. Also, there should be 100% more @brunamoura in it

I made my position clear. I respect yours. I leave it up to the powers that be. No more drama today

This article pretty much sums up how we ended up with Trump, and why this country is so broke

By the way, I think @bestmen is capable of hosting an awesome edition of the TISC. I just think he hasn’t earned the right too. I admire (and can be quite jealous) of his graphic design and video skills. That’s something awesome that he contributes to the forum. It’s his often troll-like and demeaning posts that put a sour taste in my mouth about him hosting.

Except that people thought had a legitimate chance of winning, and so they didn’t want to make a stir (at least that applied to me). Now that it’s clear that @bestmen is officially hosting, people feel the need to voice their opinions.

It doesn’t seem like one. It’s clear many users are upset with @bestmen hosting, and we should give everyone a chance to decide on the matter. If a majority votes that he can keep it, argument done. If a majority votes that he loses it, argument done. If the vote is held, and then people complain, @OlympicIRL can just enforce 7(e) and 7(f). You’ve already threatened to break rules 7(c) and 7(d) yourself (not that I blame you) (and I have as well), but it’s clear this edition will be swamped with drama (and will not be fun for anyone (maybe save @bestmen)) if the issue at hand is not resolved.

Right, but rewarding that behavior seems not okay! So are we just going to allow homophobia and xenophobia on the forum without any consequences? Are we just going to allow users to constantly harass the hosts of future TISCs. Are we not going to abide by the TISC charter? I agree @heywoodu that this drama isn’t improving the situation. So, I move to propose a vote on wether @bestmen should allowed to host the TISC? @OlympicIRL I believe such a vote should take place on the grounds that the Algerian jury (in past TISCs) has broken the following rules of the TISC Charter: 7. (c) Participating users must not reveal or give any indication as to their preferences or voting choices at any stage before the official announcement of the votes during the Grand Final. 7. (d) Participating users must not discuss private voting procedures with other members so as to ensure fairness is always in play and to ensure any suspense during the Grand Final is kept intact. 7. (e) Participating users must be respectful when posting and discussing with other members on the Totallympics International Song Contest Thread. 7. (f) If foul play is detected with respect to 7 (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) at any stage before, during or after the contest, the TISC organising committee reserves the right to place the participation or result of that nation under review. I can provide the need evidence to make such an accusation. This should also settle this issue once and for all, so that it will not be a continuous argument that plagues this year’s edition of the Annual TISC.

I’ll pass right by the Dutch song too

@bestmen has repeatedly plagued contests with drama and negative/rude comments (that are also often homophobic and xenophobic). I aim to give him a contest fit for his behavior. He shouldn’t have been allowed to host in the first place. I didn’t voice my concerns then, and I should have. It’s clear that there are many users uncomfortable with his behavior, and that it’s a widely held position that he should not be given the honor of hosting.

And then some. Hasn’t he chased users off the forum before?

Yes, but sending in a troll song is better punishment. More work for the host, and more songs to listen to fro those who are complicit.

And you are a old man, so one could expect complicity...

The comment above was referring to Cherokee though

2017 CYG: 2019 Mediterranean Beach Games (since I know you already watched the African ones ):

The federation had the chance to send the boys, but decided the girls were better (or had better chances)

It’s a good thing you’re sending the girls to Lausanne then I guess

An avid user of google translate I see. I’ve been interested in learning the language for a while. I have no native roots to the language obviously, but I’ve always thought it would be fun to learn.

I ain’t looking to get up at 3AM. Plus, I don’t have to have a cable provider to watch the replay

would be down for either. I wouldn’t mind sending a troll song for a troll user.
