So, tonight is the annual Eurovision Song Contest. For anyone who isn't aware, this is a massive multi-national music competition, featuring extravagant performances, jokes that don't quite translate, drunken musicians, cynical commentary, and some downright bizarre music. It's... very odd, and I'd recommend it to anyone who somehow hasn't seen it before!
The different countries in this contest care view it in different ways. In some countries it's (apparently) a big deal- but here in the the UK it's not taken very seriously at all. However, it is seen as an opportunity to drink heartily and make silly little bets and wagers- I suppose like the Superbowl in the USA, but with much less testosterone!
As such, I propose a game! The rules are simple. At some point tonight, post on this thread saying which country you're supporting, and why. There's a break between the songs being performed and the voting completed- this would be a good time! By the end of the night, your chosen team will have an overall ranking from 1st to 26th.
Once the contest is over, you may not cum until you've waited for a number of days equal to or greater than your team's rank.
So now you have some extra reasons to care about the voting! Feel free to add extra rules to your own preference too- both for after the show (touch=edge) and during it (slap yourself if you get given exactly 1 point). Personally, I may do some extra forfeits for anyone who picks the winner
Some teams do traditionally well or badly, are tipped as favourites, and so on, just like any contest. These are easy enough to look up, and you should feel free to do so if you want to nudge the odds in your favour. I'd be supporting the UK if we didn't end up near the bottom of the rankings seemingly every year! XD
I hope this entertains you all- sorry for the relatively late post, I just had the idea this morning...
