Not very satisfied with my countries. Should've known better than to criticise the winning entry last time.
I don't like my countries either and the winner got my 10.

I'm sure Justin used the random number generator as usual for country allocation; there are always going to be some less immaculate pairings. Also I think we're still around 20 players so everyone should still get a third country!

As far as I can tell, no one particularly likes their countries, so I hardly think I'm being biased in any way.

We're currently at 19 entries! Players are as follows:

Alexos
AxG
BethnalGreen

It might be worth dropping King Kunta a PM, he seemed to think last night that he missed the chance to sign up and might not return unless we tell him it's not too late

Managed to find two entries I really love - that's the strategy I'm going with this edition because I'm not expecting much results wise!

Oh and I was joking about bias.

Shall I post on the big thread to inform everyone about this? I think the crazies have left us now (although we're still on the homepage - is it our home now?)

If you'd like to! I'm currently in the airspace of Detroit MI and as such cannot do a big post (on my phone here) but we could always use more players!

I have been in 5 states in the past 72 hours, y'all, so I'm really sorry for any delays in getting back to people or problems with countries/entries! Thank you all for being so patient. Next week will be even crazier (I think that one is 6 states in 72 hours), so thanks also to Alex for the assist

I've been informed now, I assumed once countries got sent out that was it, I need to read things properly

In all fairness, the only other three contests I've done that were DSFE 72 (my first top 10 and my first SF topper), DSFE 75 (my best ever result) and DSFE 77 (my first QF topper). So maybe I've got some high hopes?

I've always sent entries that I'd listen to in my free time apart from Algeria last contest ( strategy entry ) and that Blue song back in contest 69 ( well, Cyprus is hard and I was kind of drunk while entering it )

I've never sent entries I haven't liked at least (except Norway in 65 and the irrational Serbian entry of 75 because I wanted to have both Serbia and Montenegro ) but I rarely love all the entries I send in the same contest. There's usually one (Kazakhstan in 66, Azerbaijan in 67, Switzerland in 68, Belgium in 73, Russia in 75) that I don't love.

I've added a lot of my entries to my Spotify playlist though unsurprisingly.

Hello from the airspace! We currently have 20 participants. In the event we don't get any more, everyone will be assigned a 3rd random country. Be on the look out for these!

Actually, I just thought that for the last few contests we have put countries like Bosnia up as a first come first served extra country? Does that mean we are not doing that this time round and that some poor soul has been assigned Bosnia!

That would explain people's horror at their countries.

As always, these are first-come, first-served. Please PM BOTH ALEXOS AND I the name of the country you want and your entry in order to be in the running. I hope you're all ready because these highly fantastic countries normally go pretty fast!

Additionally, 3rd randomly assigned countries are being sent to players now. We hope you enjoy these more than you apparently enjoyed your other countries
