Do we have to send in 20 articles? because I can't write 13 essays in less than a week.

I did that. No lies were told so nobody needs to be mad.

I know, It's just that the next few moments after such things turn out to be messy. I'll just delete my post cause It's not important etc.

Well here is the post that I made that caused all of this. I didn't edit anything tonight, so I'm not sure where that one came from, but it's all there after that post. I also have screenshots from my personal conversations with Lily if you need those for any reason.

No, 20 articles is the maximum. However if you want to chart high/within the top 3/top 5 you'll probably need 20 articles

Let me just make it ****ing known that I've only ever had three collaborations that were FULLY promoted by me and another player. Those were 'Favorite Kind of Trouble' (iHype with Eric/Justin), 'Time After Time' (iHype/Justin/Taylor) and 'Gunshots' (Egle/Zendaya/Taylor). I have proven myself to be a CAL LEGEND and ICON. I can get a solo hit and number one album. And I know y'all might not know where the hell this is coming from but this is for anyone who's tried or is TRYING me right now.

Robbie, it looks like you DID actually start the drama with that subtle shade. Eric didn't do the name-dropping so it's unclear whether he had you in mind when he said "3 members".
Anyways, I'm not going to invite mods this time since I'm sure some of you edited/deleted some posts, so it's unclear what happened, and if it's unclear then let's not get mods invited this time.
But seriously, grow up, stop acting childish and let's enjoy the game without these clockings shadings scalpings draggings and whatever the **** you come up with. Shall we?

Nope. It's more affective if you write 20 articles. You get main points for promotional ideas and stuff like that, not bonuses for longer articles or whatever.

So does posting an article alone give you more points automatically? I don't understand exactly how I can play this game if I wanted to win because it's confusing and we don't know the 'formula.'

Xtina drops music video for lead single, Waves
Yesterday evening, Christina Aguilera surprise-released the music video for her lead single - Waves. It came as a shock to many since nobody even knew that Aguilera had started working on a visual counterpart to accompany the Mark Ronson-produced track. The music video was co-directed by Floria Sigismondi and Christina herself. This isn't the first time the pair has worked together, with the first time being for the Fighter music video back in 2003 and the Hurt video back in 2006. The overall concept for the Waves' music video is about this emotionally-stricken tyrant, played by Aguilera, who is fed up of the "wealthy" lifestyle and decides to drown herself in a lake which later on leads her to having an epiphany. It's a really stellar, abstract-like mini-movie (if you will) and combines and addresses similar boundaries created in our society today. The entire project was overlooked by Christina to ensure everything fell into the correct place. "It was kept under wraps because it's Christina most ambitious project yet. We filmed over the course of a month continuously and invested a lot of time into the making of this accomplished music video. I enjoyed working for Miss Aguilera, it was one of the best experiences of my life", said a intern who travelled to Fiji where most of the music video was shot.
IN-DEPTH MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS
The camera pans out, gradually revealing Christina in a bougie attire, with silver being the main focus of this scene. Her hair is perfectly maintained which is subtly reminiscent of the Hollywood Golden Age. During the intro, Aguilera captivates you by following wherever the camera goes. It's extremely muted but also draws you in from the start. She's seen slowly losing her mind as she starts ripping her expensive clothes to shreds, the screen flickers between "rich" Aguilera and "poor" Aguilera (who's in rags) although they both showcase common distress. The silver setting begins to fade into colour and Aguilera becomes more on-edge, running through the woods until she reaches a lake.
We're now in the middle of the second verse, Christina is hysterical as the madness consumes her. She's seen eating flowers beside the lake and tries to befriend her own reflection. Then it starts to rain and Christina is distraught at supposedly "losing her imaginary friend" that is actually just her reflection in the lake and voluntarily immerses herself, essentially committing suicide. There's no sign of panic although the water turns into a sickly deep-red and Aguilera's signature platinum blonde hair is also red, but resembles a strawberry blonde instead. She comes back up to the surface and stands before a cozy lil cottage; her childhood home. Tears of shear relief fill Christina's doe-y crystal-blue eyes as she hallucinates delightful memories of her childhood when, in reality, it was anything but tolerable.
Christina is singing the understated bridge, with mascara running down her blistered skin, and digs herself into a hole in the back yard of her childhood home. She screams: "MOMMY!" in an almost child-like fashion and proceeds to bury herself alive. Time then fast-forwards as Aguilera's soaring vocals pierce through the tense atmosphere. It shows the ditch that Christina buried herself in slowly grows into a fruitful tree. Christina's voice resonates through the tree itself as the apples (hanging from the tree) chime in beat with the Mark Ronson-produced track.
The tree then begins to wear over time, a bunch of lumberjacks start chopping it down which is a symbol for both deforestation and self-sabotage/harm. Its branches then start to unwind and attack the lumberjacks, choking to death. Vultures then fly in, circulating over the frozen corpses since it's now wintertime. The camera slowly pans out to reveal the tree to be located on an incredibly steep hill. Water flows like a downward stream on either side of the hill, creating an optical illusion of Christina crying. The hill is then flooded in these "tears" like a fountain, signifying the end of the song.
END OF IN-DEPTH MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS
This is probably the most abstract music video in Christina Aguilera's entire videography. The visuals really tell an intricate story of how paranoia is liable to consume one's mind at a moment's notice. It's a great alternative to the choreography-filled gimmicky music videos that are commonly released nowadays and is sure to "make waves" throughout the industry, or at least on a social media perspective. The music video is extremely spontaneous in nature and takes inspiration from theatrical, performance art. Fans of Christina aka her Fighters should be prepared for more conceptual "stuff" from their girl. It seems as though Aguilera's labelmate Bjork and her eclectic style is rubbing off on the mother of two. A collaboration is said to be in the works once Bjork launches her own upcoming era. We'll be pleased to see how that all turns out! Support Christina's lead single - Waves - off of her upcoming 8th studio album by hitting that replay button on its music video. The views help considerably in terms of streaming points and everything to do with Billboard's formula for "chart success". Aguilera would appreciate it a lot, guys.
Xtina's lead single, Waves, is now available for PURCHASE.

I can help you since Egle is probs tired of explaining. Yes, you get points for more articles. Articles are the base of the game. If you do 0 articles you get 0 points. If you do 1 article you might get 10k for it, 2 articles you might get 20k (no that's not the formula I don't know it). The base has always been doing articles, and now with seasons more competitive it does depend on more stuff. Such as where you perform, what kind of promotion, what kinda release, if you spent points, length (apparently not for this one kii), etc.
