Welcome to the Special 40th edition of Retro WWW Song Contest!
As traditionally, 10th edition of the decade is special. Hope you're all ready for a challenge. The dynamics of this edition will be much different because of it.
I decided to make a variation of the most popular suggestion. And call it:
Random Theme Lottery
How will it go?
This time you first need to confirm. There is no limit. Each person will get one theme.
Here are the possible themes:
* duet, two solo artists, band/group and solo artist, two bands/groups
Trading
Players are allowed to trade themes, but only once. Rather than asking for a specific theme you may offer your theme to other players.
Example: Country 1 gets 90s and find it too easy so they offer it. On the other hand Country 2 is having trouble with their theme and wants to trade. Country 1 does not have to accept it. Others can show their interest too and in the end Country 1 can pick the one they like the most. Both parties must agree in order for the trade to happen.
Please message or tag Laurinda in such cases.
Re-roll
In case player has trouble with their theme and can't manage to trade, they may have a re-roll. That means they can get any theme except the one they just had.
Many themes are up to the player's interpretation aside from Artist and Time period, so even the smaller countries can find something for all of the themes.
Confirmation deadline is 13th of September.
