The First Edition of the Univision Song Contest! - RESULTS

[Yqt1001]

Welcome to the first edition of the Univision Song Contest!



Welcome to Aahrus! Our beautiful little island is located off the scenic coast of Ethanthova. One of the densest cities on Universalis, it is our pleasure to bring you the first contest!



Our wonderful Crystal Hall is perfectly suited for the first contest. All the acts will find it perfectly comfortable on the stage in a few weeks.

We hope you enjoy your stay!



Next year, the contest will be hosted in the winning country, so good luck to all!

Now before we go into the submissions process, let's go over the rules:
SONGS:
- A song can not have been sent in previous editions of the contest (doesn't matter now, does it?).
- Songs must be a maximum of roughly 5 minutes. I'll accept a few seconds over, but not minutes over.
- Joke entries are allowed, but try to keep it somewhat serious. I don't want a 5 minute loop of a 30 second meme. Also try to avoid incredibly vulgar songs.
- Songs must be a Youtube video to be entered.
- There is no limit to where the song can be released from, the language of lyrics, the year it was released. Songs can also be instrumental.
- If there is copyright issues, another version of the song must be found.

COUNTRIES:
- You can only enter one country into the contest, however you can send multiple songs.
- Countries must be on the Official USF map (located here) to be eligible to participate.
- Every country that enters must send one to three songs, they must also vote.

VOTING:
- You cannot vote for entries you submitted.
- If you wish to vote but not participate, please contact me ahead of time.
- If you are participating, you are required to vote.
- Everyone who votes will need to give me a ranking of their 5 favourite songs. This will be converted into points. 10 points to your favourite, 8 points, 6 points, 3 points and 1 point for your least favourite of the 5.
- The song with the most points wins!
- Votes are required to be sent in either private messaging, on IRC, on Skype, on Steam or by email.
Tie Breaking:
- Entry with the most number of people who gave it points
- If the above does not work, the entry which has gotten the most 10 points
- If the above does not work, continue down to the entry who got the most 1 point given
- If the above does not work, the entry which is sooner in the running order

Well, when I suggested Aahrus on the USF map, I did have Hong Kong in mind. The contest hall is not in Hong Kong, so now you can try and find where that is located.

Apparently it is, but that is not the intended venue. What I actually wanted was this, but I guess Google Images misled me.

[Yqt1001]

The oldest songs in the contest thus far are both from early 2006. Mine and vh's entries. Mine was in Eurovision 2006, just because it should be known as all 3 of my songs are Eurovision entries.

3 songs have an ex-Soviet feel to them (whether a real accent, a joke accent or an ethnic song).

I should've sent Hora din Moldova to counteract Molvania!

omg if u submitted that too

[Yqt1001]

suparsonik elektronik

Nah, I have rules against that. You submitted it first.

[Yqt1001]

Rules have been finalized for this edition. Instead of making up a tiebreaker rule, I just copied the Eurovision one.

[Darvince]

i thought kip sent the crying geese thing

[atomic7732]

"the entry which is sooner in the running order" so there will be a synchtube-esque thing?

[matty406]

long live molvania

[Yqt1001]

"the entry which is sooner in the running order" so there will be a synchtube-esque thing?

I'll make the running order in case I actually find the time to do a synchtube thing, otherwise it will just be there to be there. It will be randomly generated though.

Anyways, I feel like revealing 4 songs to increase hype. The 4 songs I have picked were randomly selected; if a song you wanted to change was picked, you can still change it.

Warriyo - Penumbra
Feint & Boyinaband ft. Veela - Time Bomb
Zlad! - Electronik Supersonik
C418 - Minecraft Biome Test

As always, you can see a full list of confirmed entries on the original post. At this time, these are the only 4 though. Is the winner among these 4? Is the last place among these 4?

ENTRIES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY JUNE 18TH! You can continue to change or add more songs until then! Please do so!

Oh kol Electronik Supersonik oh kol what a surprise.

You could also just make a YouTube playlist.

[Yqt1001]

You could also just make a YouTube playlist.

This works as well, sounds like a plan actually. Still like the synchtube idea, but we'd need a replacement for it first.

[matty406]

synchtube is funner because we're all present at the same time while its running. of course a YouTube playlist could be compiled afterwards for people to recap.
