Toastervision

The Toastervision Song Contest is a Mapzor Tradition that dates back to ancient history (in game, May 2009 in Earth fan-fiction). Each country submits their greatest musical export for a competition leaving behind notions of politics and war to simply vote on the best entry. The Toastervision acts as a spin-off game from the official Mapzor game, with many players entering who are not active in the main game, often as microstates or protectorates/regions of larger, more active countries.

How To Play
At the beginning of a Toastervision, each player is required to submit their entry via a Youtube link to toastervision@live.co.uk, these entries are then compiled by the hosting nation into a playlist, often comprising a narrative and/or humourous interval videos. Each player then votes on the songs entered as to their personal preferences, the voting system is usually as follows:
 * 1st Preference: 12 points
 * 2nd Preference: 10 points
 * 3rd Preference: 8 points
 * 4th Preference: 7 points
 * 5th Preference: 6 points
 * 6th Preference: 5 points
 * 7th Preference: 4 points
 * 8th Preference: 3 points
 * 9th Preference: 2 points
 * 10th Preference: 1 point

All entries below this are not awarded points, though it is helpful to rank them anyway as if a player misses the voting deadline, their country is disqualified from the competition and all votes are subsequently bumped up to accommodate this.

The Toastervision Results are usually announced in a live final, either livestreamed or posted in a group chat by the competition host. The winner of the competition is given the option to host the following contest, should they decline, it is normally decided mutually by the players as to who would like to host.

Mapzor Crossover
In most iterations of Mapzor, the hosting city of Toastervision is normally granted special rights either by a treaty or by UN law. This states that anyone attacking the hosting city is in violation of international law and sanctions are normally given for those who violate this, anything from trade sanctions and UN suspension to a full scale counter attack.

Equally, the host city of Toastervision normally gets an economic and infrastructure boost for holding the largest international public gathering on the game.
