WorldVision Song Contest 69 | OOC | Signups CLOSED

Indo, for the last time, stop including me in your RPs.

I don't want anything to do with your roleplays. I've asked several times already and it's beyond annoying at this point.

No. Why?

No. Why?

Because he’s asked you not to. If someone asks you not to drag them into something it’s common courtesy for one to follow that advice. And moreover there is an obligation on you, if you are going to include another nation in your RPs, to ask them first. Many people within WorldVision can attest to that, myself included. Polkopia has asked you not to include him within your RPs. So don’t.

No. Why?

Indo, you can’t just pull people into RP.
That’s literally against the rules.
Polk has asked you to stop, so just STOP.

deep breath

Indo, not everyone wants to RP with you all the time.
Not everyone has a lot of free time like you, some of us are working, some of us are studying, something called "Life Outside NationStates" exists.
If you really want to RP with other people, you need to ask their permissions first.
So, IS, please STOP including Polk in your RPs.

Warm regards.

[Indo States]

Ima Stopped it.

[Scottish Socialists]

Ima Stopped it.

Good, thank you.

[Aloquirbe]

On a brighter side, the Aloquirbe entry is FINISHED

[Kalosia]

Similarly, Kalosia and Saviera are both up!

Kalosia is song 27 and highlights the issue of sex trafficking. Saviera, meanwhile, at number 31, follows the singer's journey of self-discovery as she explores the world of furries.

Working on postcards now to have them completely updated by the end of the night. That being said though, I've noticed a lot of the flags are coming out choppy and pixelated in the postcards. If you're unhappy with how your postcard turned out, shoot me a TG with a larger image of your flag and I'll remake yours.

Thank xD :3 uwu

[Indo States]

Note That Western Edeltia will Withdraw from WV69. Guess that my Puppet will Focus on Lyrics first. I Mean not.

[Lactatia]

May I ask that participants please don't turn the IC thread into an entirely different kind of RP?

In particular, Indo States and Grellenbyosha-ga - if you're going to RP a war, please have a separate thread for it. Thank you.

Never intended to RP a war, and will gladly end this RP tangent.

I'll assume that the sanctions are purely between Indo States and Grellen, in which case they are entirely irrelevant because the two nations have no trade relations whatsoever.

[SquareDisc City]

The problem with making a topical joke song is that by the time the song entry is up, it's no longer topical. Still, that's my puppet's entry done. Now to do my main...

[Indo States]

Sorry, Indo States is out but Overtime is here to Comment on Entries!

Both my sets of votes are up.

For my main I changed the process from last time. Togonistan and Postman Sayoc got "byes" into the upper and lower half of the points respectively, the former because block voting is a thing and the latter because it's my puppet and I can't fairly judge. I then evaluated lyrics first, aiming to roughly halve the field at this stage. With it being WV69 and all, funny stuff generally got my approval. After then I went to look at RP to narrow it down further to those entries that would be in the points and pick out a probable winner. After that I went to melodies to determine the ranking within the points.

The idea is it pays more regard to what people have written. Even if I consider the original melody absolutely godawful, good lyrics and writing will still get something.

For Postman Sayoc I ignored all of that. With the song being an anti-radical, anti-terrorist fun-poke, I just voted based on the "Ideological Radicality" world census, lower is better. (Then bumped N&P and myself down due to the voting rules).

Oh, and very well hosted by Polkopia/Lactatia.

Really enjoyed my 11th-15th places as well, but not as intensely as my top 10, sorry!

Rest in peace all those who didn't know what we were doing for WV69, and I hope you do better in WV70!

For those who did know and still sent serious/normal entries... too bad so sad go cry.

[Lactatia]

Ladies and gentlemen, the IC thread is closed and further votes will no longer be accepted. It may take a few minutes or so to put the final scoreboard up, but I'll make another post on the OOC thread when it's up.

Good luck to erryone!

[Lactatia]

The final scoreboard is up!

Thank you again for having me as your guys' host. It was tons of fun hosting such an infamous edition and I'd do it again if I could! Thank you all for awarding Polkopia/Lactatia your points and a huge congratulations to the winner as well!
