It is time for Pacivision!
More than a year has passed since the contest in Gralois, Ikoania and therefore we can be excited to have a new iteration of this event in Stoinia soon! A song contest without songs does not make much sense though, therefore I present to you the successor to all OOC Pacivision topics: Pacivision Song Contest - Submissions!

What follows afterâŠ
After all entries have been submitted and it has been checked, whether they are conformant with the rules, there will be an allocation draw in which running order the entries will be presented to the audience in the Pacivision Song Contest 2023 topic. Once the event has been started off by our wonderful host @Maverick later this Summer (Note: maybe later, depends on some external factors), each roleplayer is supposed to post their (1) âPostcardâ, (2) âOpening Cardâ/âStage Ready Graphicâ, (3) Lyrics and Performance Description in the order drawn by us through the allocation draw mentioned earlier. When all songs have been presented, voting will be conducted in this topic. The voting rules will be presented at a later date, but it is planned to introduce a âRest of the Worldâ vote additionally this year in order to open the roleplay event to TSP newcomers and gameside also.
And with that: Letâs begin this Pacivision season for real! Have fun!
