Anyway, since Euphorian is online now, I'll just make the announcement. Not a fancy one with the PH banner and a special font, cause it's an unfortunate one.
PenaltySadly, EuphorianSea didn't work on his collaboration with 8thPrince. The song he submitted is not a collab. I discussed with the judges about the penalty, because I didn't want to disqualify him or completely hinder his chances at getting to the finale. The penalty we all agreed on is to score his "collab" song on a different scale, to incorporate a penalty.
Instead of scoring it from 1 to 10, we will score it from 1 to 3. 5 of the 7 points were deducted simply because half of the task was to check if you guys could collaborate and coexist with another writer and Euphorian didn't. The remaining 2 points were deducted for breaking the rules. I'm only announcing this because if you don't know about the penalty, the reviews and especially the scores will look extremely puzzling.
If it wasn't for the penalty, Euphorian's collab would have received a 9.5 / 9.6 from me. It's his second best song in the contest (for me) and a departure from his usual style, which I had been waiting for.
That's all.
