User blog:Glenn31/Wikivision - August 2018



Surprise! After a long hiatus, Wikivision has returned with an all-new format! Running this alongside me will be Trent and Aaron and we're excited to see what you think of our improvements!

The New Format
To keep things interesting, we've revised the game and made it work in a way more similar to the Eurovision Song Contest. Each month, the total amount of players will be divided in half. The first half will compete in a semi-final round, where the top half will qualify for the final round. This will then be repeated with the other half of the players, and then both halves of the winning songs will compete in the final round to determine the final rankings.

In the semi-finals, only the participants of each respective round are allowed to vote. In the final round, eliminated participants will vote separately, and act as the "televote", which will be combined with the main vote to determine the winner.

Rules
The rules remain pretty much unchanged from before.
 * Do not, under any circumstances, reveal to anyone besides the hosts which song is yours. This is done in order to keep things fair and prevent biased votes.
 * Do not reveal your votes to anyone other than the hosts either, for the same reasons.
 * The contest will begin 3 days after the blog is posted. If you have signed up but have not submitted a song by then, you will be disqualified and the game will begin without you.
 * Failing to vote will result in 25% of your score being removed each round for the remainder of that month's competition.

August
This month's round is freestyle, which means you can use whatever song you like by any artist! Sign up by commenting on this blog, and you can submit your song by DMing either me, Trent or Aaron on Discord. We can be found on the wiki's server, but if you can't access Discord just drop one of us a message on our wall and we'll meet you in the Chat. Good luck everyone!
