Wittenberg / Party Thread Request
Last post by Breneir Tzaracomprada - Today at 08:02:04 PM
Hi Luc @Sir Lüc

Now that I've submitted my registration for The Independent Progressive (BREN) party would it be possible to get a thread in the parties area similar to what the URL, Greens, and PA have? If it requires me to send in the registration payment as well then I understand and will let you know once that has been submitted. If not, please consider this my official request.

Oof, that is unfortunate. I can't count your vote anymore, I'm really sorry.

TMT20 ROUND 3

Round 3 consists of five groups of ten songs each. The top two songs from each group advance directly to the Final, while the next three songs from each group advance to the Semifinal. Groups are drawn randomly in such a way that each group contains two 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place songs from Round 2.

We will vote on groups 1, 2, and 3 and then groups 4 and 5. Each voting period will last three days (72 hours). Votes cast after that will not be accepted, with the exception that we will always keep going until we have at least three votes per group.

Give your top five songs 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly five songs.

GROUP 1
B-52's - Private Idaho
Coldplay - Fix You
Foo Fighters - Everlong
Muse - Uprising
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure
Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out)
The Cure - A Forest
The Police - Message in a Bottle
The Who - Baba O'Riley


GROUP 2
B-52's - Legal Tender
Blur - The Universal
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill
Ludwig von Beethoven - Mondscheinsonate, 3rd movement
Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence
Talk Talk - Such a Shame
The Beatles - Taxman
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil


GROUP 3
Ásgeir - Nýfallið regn
Deep Purple - Child in Time
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence
Desireless - Voyage, Voyage
Fleetwood Mac - The Chain
Men At Work - Down Under
Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Rammstein - Haifisch
The Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want


Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 6 points
- Number of voters giving 4 points
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- PPV in Round 2
- Rank in Round 2
- Last year's result (1 > 2 > ... > 20 > Round 4 > Round 3 > Round 2 > other)
- PPV in Round 1 (if applicable)
- Rank in Round 1 (if applicable)
- Year first nominated (special edition > earlier > later)
- Random chance

Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

I did my best with all the links but there is always a chance some are broken or have a wrong version or bad audio quality. If a link is broken or you have a suggestion for a better link, please contact me or post the link in the thread. Officially, we are not voting on the YouTube link, but on the listed Artist + Title.

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.

Quote from: Garth Spencer on Today at 03:59:25 PMDear Burgermeister,

I wish to re-register the following political party in the Cosa. Is it permissible for me to send you the registration fee by an e-transfer to this email? Is it permissible for me to send it on Friday, August 14th, which is one day after the stated deadline?

Particulars:

Full party name: The Independent Green Anarcho-Surrealist Party

Party leader:  Garth Spencer

General aims and views:  The Independent Green Anarcho-Surrealist Party aims to fight gravity and boredom in Talossan affairs by introducing levity, interest, and strange resolutions to the Cosa. We encourage all Talossans, especially elected representatives, to do something funny or at least surreal every day. Get surreal!

List of candidates: Garth Spencer

Yours,

Garþ Açafat



Azul Garth, I have moved your registration to the appropriate thread. (And took notice of it, and will be adding you to the ballot ASAP)

Tagging @xpb for how to pay the fee, but just wanted to point out the deadline for the fee is September 30 if you don't intend to send campaign mailers; if you pay earlier, you can send those as soon as you do, but you don't need to pay by August 13/14/15 to appear on the ballot.

Most direct will be via PayPal to burgermeister@talossa.com
I also have Zelle or Venmo alternatives
