Yes! Its always possible to make changes to your team up until the deadline.

I consulted with my pal Donnie who is more knowledgeable than I am, and made some roster changes based on his suggestions.
Would non-Talossans be welcome to join the league? Donnie might be interested.

The Semifinal consists of one group of 15 songs (the third, fourth, and fifth place songs from each group in Round 3). The top five songs advance to the Final, the next five (in order) are #16 - #20 of the 2026 TMT20, and the last five are the final five songs to be eliminated.

The voting period will last until Tuesday, August 25rd at 12:00 PM, Talossan Daylight Time. (19:00 CEST)

Give your top eight songs 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly eight songs.

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.

Cézembre Fieschā is in the starting blocks, ready for success as usual

I am back! Well prepared for another last place finish! Good luck everyone!

It thankfully seems like we're back to normal, so it seems like a good moment for the first turnout update; we're at 40 voters, or 29.2% turnout, with 13 days 8 hours left to vote.

We're a bit more than one fifth of the way into the election; last time, at this point into the election, 45 votes were cast (33.1%). It seems we're a little behind schedule, but this was also true of the last election, and yet it ended up being the election with the highest percentage turnout in post-Ben Talossa, and highest absolute turnout since July 2018, although in that one we had almost 50 more citizens.

He is ridiculously expensive. But how can you not? You would just be giving up some days on purpose.
