That's fine Beth.

Any thoughts on the entries so far? Kind of a ghost town in here...

(Hell-kind-of-related-jokes are here until the end I'm afraid)

We're at 26 sign ups! Deadline for signing up is Sunday at 7pm, where third countries (if there are any left) will be handed out randomly. If anyone does not want to be included in the third country draw (there are still 3 countries I'd consider to be very good out there) please let me know in a PM.

You can also send Greecelove your entries, until Wednesday 9th November.

Here are the players we have at the moment:

Still a couple of people who have taken part in the last couple of editions but haven't yet confirmed but 26 is a very good number. Will be closing sign ups at 32 in the unlikely even that we get there, but we've got a couple of newcomers this edition.

Hmm two brand new FMs, names styled in exactly the same lower case format with an '_esc' extension. That's not fishy at all.

That's what I thought when they told me their usernames but they're from the same forum as Greecelove (and Yugi and myself).

Ah so is not Euan part two and banning gate part 10 then

<< btw am hungry for ur entries, send me xox

I'm pretty busy at the moment , if I get my workload down by Sunday night and it's still ok to I'll sign up, if not it I won't be able to as I'll get distracted.

Deadline for sign ups is Sunday at 7pm so that's fine, and it's fine if not too.

How long do we have to send in entries - I'm currently finishing unpacking my life but will look for entries tomorrow night before my gig

Deadline for entries is currently Wednesday 9th but can quite easily be pushed forward a day or two.

Ah I'll def have them in by then - am off work for a couple of weeks apart from gigging in evenings on the weekend (I'm going on stage in 5 mins in fact haha) so should be fine

I'm struggling with my countries. I haven't found anything inspiring yet.

I feel like I always give you really bad countries I'm sorry

I don't think there is someone so desperate on here, I hope this is a coincidence

Wouldn't be the first time second or third

Oh My! It's a shame most of the posts from Euan gate got deleted, it would be quite an eye opener for you

Most of them are still there

But yes, DSFE 55 is always a good read
The drama starts bottom of page 27...

I wasn't here when all of this happened so I'm literally just learning of this now.

All I can say about that whole fiasco is wow.

Definitely right when you said it was an interesting read.

Wow that was sad and funny at the same time.
Why would anyone try to cheat like that on a game?
Considering that fiasco is from 2014, the thought that he may come back or that he is already between us and we don't know it is scary

Oh hello, CFK am here xoxo

Nothing got deleted - we went through it after the scorewiz a couple of contests back. Great fun We've also had multi-account banning chaos in contests before 55 (but that was the best one ). So if we sometimes seem a little vigilant, that's why

A conundrum I had while searching for my entries. I found out that a particular artist had been entered for this country before but I couldn't find a link to prove a connection to the country in question so had to begrudgingly pick a different artist/song as I didn't think its fair to send something that I'm not even certain is eligible.

But overall, I'm still happy with my choices. At least until both of them go out in the Quarter Finals, then I'll probably hate myself for not picking the song I originally wanted :P

You could check with us if the artist is okay? I might be able to find something.
