New word proposal!

aðcedaziun "accession (to the throne)", first used by then-King John in 2011, and subsequently in 2015.

and, backderived from that,

aðcedar "accede (to the throne)"

I was surprised to find out we didn't already have a word for this in l'Översteir. If there are no objections I'd like add them right away.

Welcome back!

Because of several delays Im not sure we'll be able to finish everything before the elections (I will post finals very soon), but if we do I guess the first step would be to increase the number of groups, so we'll do three this time.

2025 Talossan Music Top 20 Special Edition: Songs in French

Many thanks to everyone who nominated songs. Of course, people who did not are still very welcome to participate.

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

Voting will last 96 hours (4 days) or until there are at least three voters. The top two songs from each group advance to the Final.

GROUP 1
Stromae - Formidable
Pascal Obispo - Superflu
Stromae - Alors on danse
Gjon's Tears - Tout l'univers
Serge Gainsbourg - Vu de l'extérieur



GROUP 2
France Gall - Ella elle l'a
Christine and the Queens - Christine
Jacques Brel - Le moribond
Stromae - Papaoutai
Angèle ft. Roméo Elvis - Tout Oublier

GROUP 3
Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Complainte pour Ste-Cathérine
Indila - Love Story
Noir Désir - Le vent nous portera
Noir Désir - L'homme pressé
Desireless - Voyage Voyage





Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- 24-hour tiebreaker round
- 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.
