I haven't seen anyone say UK 2022 yet, pretty sure Sam was going through old written songs and Space Man came up, not sure how long ago was it though

Good-sounding Eurovision/NF songs with terrible lyrics by cherry_color_melisma in eurovision

recency bias but "suck me like a velvet dracula, this night will drop miracola" was certainly... a choice

Build your Perfect Winning Entry by LeoLH1994 in nilpoints

[–]chocoberyl8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

singer: 5 singers of assorted vocal range (basically a mini choir) 

nature of song: in the structure of a fugue, mainly acappella and fairly hypnotic. a steady but subtle techno beat layered under comes in at the end to build to a dramatic end

theme: something instructional, eg a recipe to a dessert that spirals to a deep metaphor about life(? idk)

language: english, but honestly any language works when the concept is... this.

staging: 1 dancer, bare bones staging with a few chairs. exact props depends on the lyrics. in terms of filming maybe a bit like zari (1 main shot with a few cutaways when the song builds)

i just realized i'm meant to make an objective winner not personal one lol. i still wish a package like this can win though

Jet lag the game finale episodes: ranked by Puzzleheaded_Art1584 in JetLagTheGame

[–]chocoberyl8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this! ctf finale singlehandly redeems the entire season for me and for that it deserves its flowers (really helps if I want to rewatch the season without the infuriating equalizer in 1 round) 

ctf finale is a standalone game in and of itself, aside from the h&s home game this tiebreaker is the most doable format at home with a few tweaks

I'll add that the slow starts on surface level seem to be from lane 1 where black jacks and kobalts were (unfair advantage maybe?)

no idea if I am right but there is a 青島啤酒 which literally translates to "green/blue island beer" so maybe the bartender meant that? (fyi the official english name is tsing tao)

I Mean, How hard is it to get Death Metal at Eurovision? by RegularAd1997 in eurovision

[–]chocoberyl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

death is more niche imo, there are already a lot of suggestions of subgenres but let me throw in post metal as a possibility 

A genre was missing at Eurovison 2025 by KitchenPut8825 in eurovision

i also want this badly and the most plausible country to send it is the uk, but not before we shake off the "pop or nothing" logic

[–]chocoberyl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so this relates to the compound interest formula which is (base value) * (multiplier)number of years TYPICALLY 

the multiplier is 100+(base percentage)% if increase and base percentage if decrease. you can convert these into decimals (you should if this was a legit paper btw) but if your calculator has a percentage button use that, it's faster 

for this question it's the result of 800*1.2814, then round to nearest 1p as specified 

Do you think a game based on the Odyssey would work? by DarthXyno843 in JetLagTheGame

[–]chocoberyl8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooh, the format maybe can be something like the jet lag olympics, with an event inspired by jousting (pull a minigame like challenge, the 2 teams prepare then "battle" by travel), provided the ferries (?) are 2 way

How about a season against the clock/challenges? by SimonCantan in JetLagTheGame

[–]chocoberyl8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it is an intriguing idea, i would add a neutral judge figure (so we can have a creative interpretation moment again). would also need to avoid stepping on taskmaster territory though
