Insta-block.

THETWEN2IE5 @mu21cvs.bsky.social · 9h

Yes, it's from the timeline page. Or there's a TODAY page that's updated every morning, telling you what's happening.

I didn't think I needed to spell it out in the rules, but now i will.

THETWEN2IE5 @mu21cvs.bsky.social · 9h

I don't like getting annoyed, but that has been specifically mentioned in the rules since March and on the website since August.

What does Rule 6 say, immediately above the bit you're quoting?

1st-25th November.

What does this say, here?

Picking season

YOU ARE HERE

1 – 25 October – First 25 songs from your main list posted

26 – 31 October – 5 HMs posted (NB: this is 6 days, please post only 5).

1 – 25 November – Second 25 from your main list posted

THETWEN2IE5 @mu21cvs.bsky.social · 9h

Yes.

THETWEN2IE5 @mu21cvs.bsky.social · 9h

#TheTwen2ie5

Reposting this while you're all awake.

Please do take up the HMs - they will make a difference, and if you want to play the finale, you need at least 5.

Also, they're a great way of boosting songs that already have points. I don't want to see a 40-50 point benchmark again.

THETWEN2IE5 @mu21cvs.bsky.social · 2d

#TheTwen2ie5

As this is the most active hour (in the UK), a reminder:

PLEASE do not post 'Day 26' on Sunday 26th October.

26th-31st is for HONOURABLE MENTIONS (HMs) ONLY.

The main list is posted in 2 sets of 25. See rules 6 & 7.

Thanks. Don't make me angry, etc.

NOTICE

for those overseas who like to post around midnight - 1am UK time...

#TheTwen2ie5

From the MIDNIGHTS page, which is busy this weekend.

OTICE: TONIGHT

As well as that, tonight ‘British Summer Time’ ends and the clocks go back in the UK. This means, if you’re behind us, midnight UK time will be an hour later in your country. This notice is aimed mainly at US players who like to post around midnight UK time. It would be appreciated if you try not to post early. The time difference will revert back a week later, on 2nd November (Day 27, or Month 2 Day 2), when US Daylight Savings Time ends.

Current difference: UK +5 Eastern, +8 Pacific
From 26 Oct – 2 Nov: UK +4 Eastern, +7 Pacific
After 2 Nov: UK +5 Eastern, +8 Pacific

I am... not optimistic about the likely beneficiaries.

THETWEN2IE5 @mu21cvs.bsky.social · 22h

There's not even a token Kate Bush, is there?

THETWEN2IE5 @mu21cvs.bsky.social · 22h

Should have just posted this for Rule 5 in the FAQs, shouldn't I?

Don't recall any discourse at the time, but it seems worse than ever?

Wow, 5 points in over 3,000!

Fight The Power was the one I forgot - didn't vote for it because the single is a) not from the 1990s and b) precedes the album by many months, making it feel a bit "bolted on bonus track".

Hashtag error here, but worth posting for HM discourse.

Mitchell Stirling @mitchellst.bsky.social · 1d

#TheTwen25ies I had a list of 90 potential HMs and 44 of them are in the playlists so really hopeful that I can have all 50 all ready voted for.

Hi - last month you gave me a different song by this band as one of your bonuses ('Datura') - which is correct, please?

For Americans: Reuters utterly fucked this up, this election was a landslide for Plaid Cymru, the Welsh nationalist party. Labour collapsed, Reform was barely in the frame, but Reform is popular with English gammon-faced flag-shaggers (not Welsh folks), so that's what the lede has to be.

Atrios @eschatonblog.com · 1d

Amazing

Reuters: Britain's ruling Labour Party suffered a heavy electoral defeat in Wales, a traditional stronghold, in a result that highlights the threat posed by the Reform UK party, as the government struggles to revive the economy and ease fears about immigration

When you say bonus, can you say whether it's 11 or 12 please?

THETWEN2IE5 @mu21cvs.bsky.social · 2d

#TheTwen2ie5

I will be sticking this up on MIDNIGHTS over the weekend, but here's a reminder for our American players who like to post at that time:

OUR CLOCKS GO BACK A WEEK BEFORE YOURS.

MIDNIGHT in the UK will be +4 Eastern, +7 Pacific for a week.

Try not to post early. Thanks.

As long as they don't screw up the extra condition mentioned at the end, yes.
