In this, the 3rd part of the End of the Year series we will hear thoughts and opinions of several regular TISC participants.
We are reaching the end of 2017. Generally speaking, which is in your opinion the most important happening, evolution or trend in the World in 2017?
In general, I’d go for every little thing being criticized for being racist, insensitive, politically incorrect, discriminating against *insert any random thing you can imagine* and so on.
In sports, I’d say it’s one sport after another falling victim to the ‘gender police’ resulting in good events being taken out and rather untested and/or boring events being put in, because good competition is apparently less important than making each and every possible thing completely equal (yet strangely, they’re not going for an open competition yet…separating men and women could be considered discriminatory if all other things in life are to be believed).
In terms of TISC, that’s a good question. I’m not that deep into the TISC history and discussions to know exactly what’s playing, but I guess organizers still being screwed over by Antarctica’s penguins is a worrying trend.
What was your favorite TISC moment of 2017?
That one where at the very end, 2-3-4 nations still had a realistic chance of winning.
Do you have a favorite TISC contest?
That one I mentioned above (that would be TISC Open 2017, heywoodu)
Annual or Open?
The one where there’s no ‘age limit’, I guess that’s Open (yes, that is the Open contest heywoodu)

The reinforcement learning of computers. By experimentation artificial intelligence can learn by itself.

The moment when users of the forum found out that the bagpipe is the traditional national instrument for Bulgaria too, not only for Scotland.

World peace… Joking… I wish 2018 to be the year when humanity realises the need to change their lifestyle – from throwing out completely edible food to usage of plastic bags and bottles.
We are reaching the end of 2017. Generally speaking, which is in your opinion the most important happening, evolution or trend in the World in 2017?
Two things:
1) Polarization of incomes. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, with the middle class disappearing.
2) More competitive sporting world as globalization continues to evolve.
What was your favorite TISC moment of 2017?
I don’t have a favourite moment per say, but I would have to pick the USA giving their accepting speech in the open contest.
Do you have a favorite TISC contest?
Yes, when Canada finished second, and I cannot seem to recall the contest.
Annual or Open?
Open – you have a lot of songs too chose from and the restrictions are less than the annual one!
