Song Contest Part XVIII, Host: eth-dog, Theme: Worldvision, Votes Due: Sunday 11pm AEST

[ChappyUK]

This is SM that we're talking about.

His arguing for the sake of arguing adds nothing to the comp but no-one is calling for his expulsion.

This has nothing to do with deadlines.

 

[SM]

The Cult of BOO is upset.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Geez we are all big boys and girls.
A little back hander here and there doesn’t hurt and just adds to the entertainment. I’m sure BOO can handle it.

Of course I'm upset. BOO should put in votes in before 11.59. He's wasting a minute of everyone's time and adds nothing to the competition.

 

[GreyCrow]

Put your votes in

This one is highly controversial and one in which I ask the Song Contest contestants to make an example of this poster

I was sent an entry with a screenshot of a wiki page - ehh thanks for that so yeah in.



I was informed later that this entry wasnt there. I checked and it wasnt - I found out there was an edit

Now Im not sure I should post this screen shot as it has the persons FULL Name plus ISP - idiot

Lingua Ignota wins the Billy and is DQ - now some say DQs cant get Billy - I say hah

Here is your Av



Now the question I ask should we self ban him from 3 contests?

20 votes 5 Billies - which would have been 2nd place

Why are they disqualified, and who was it?

Why would he though?! You trust people are legit when they put in a nom like that, especially when sharing a screenshot.

I just had a look at Wiki and anyone can see the edit/view history and he edited the page to say she won a Grammy, and then changed that edit straight after LOL. That's quite disingenuous.

Disagree to be honest. Given GC made it known he was short of time, it feels like this is exploitation.
Pretty disappointing.

Grammy Winners it is

I dont care if its rap, choral, oral, spoken or whatever - as long as the artist/band has ''Grammy Winner'' in the wiki page

It met the theme at the point it was entered so it’s a valid entry.

I Billied it because it’s clearly against the spirit of the theme.

 

[GreyCrow]

Why are they disqualified, and who was it?

1. Did not vote
2. If you dont know who noms Lingua Ignota - I really cant help you

Bloody hell that's a shocker.

It was me.

LOL I forgot GC wrote that BAHAHAHA

Didn't vote so DQ is fair enough then; and yeah I assumed it was him.

3 round ban seems reasonable.

 

[ChappyUK]

Hmm. Tough one.

Disappointed in this - I thought Pat would win this easy

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Lol, come on with a ban. It's cheeky, it's a DQ and a Billy but he doesn't deserve a ban. Just a game gang.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Usually, the onus is on the host to check the eligibility of the songs but GC was in outback SA for most of Thursday. If LI's page was edited as an excuse to nom her, then that's poor form. I wouldn't go as far as a ban but the DQ and billy is deserved, even though I regrettably gave it a vote.
