i was actually a lala to begin with but got tired of not being able to glamour how i wanted :p but i couldnt resist the adorableness of the lala and had to go back :p

And its ok :p, live and learn :p if i had taken the camera out some the river would have been seen more. No harsh feelings though! I'll be keeping a close eye on the rest :p

DO YOU THINK THIS REALLY DESERVED 11 POINTS FOR THE JUDGES!?

AT FIRST GLANCE MAYBE?!?! BUT LETS LOOK A LITTLE FARTHER!

For Preliminary Round 2 you will need to find a sunny, quiet spot near one of the many rivers or Eorzea. You shouldn't be in the water, but on the banks. Weather must be sunny, so time of day must be around noon time. No waterfalls. Gear and it's color are up to you. The background/scenery you choose should be epic/beautiful/serene! Please be in a green forest! No snow or deserts!

NOW AT FIRST YOU MIGHT THINK THERE ARE NO WATERFALLS. BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG!

HERE IS THE EVIDENCE...........

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0PH0cccPaI

YUNI USED THIS WATERFALL IN HER SHOT TO ENHANCE HER SHOT AND SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED.

IT'S OBVIOUS THE JUDGES DON'T EVEN FOLLOW THEIR OWN RULES....

No waterfalls.

AND THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED! RIGGGGGGGEEDDDDDDDDD!!

Idk...I think that is stretching it. If she had been standing and the waterfall was clearly the shot then yes I would agree. But you don't see the waterfall, it's not view-able unless you run all the way to the other side of the bridge and down a hill to actually see it's even a waterfall.

I mean honestly there are 'waterfalls' of some sort in rivers everywhere in real life, so if this was a real picture you could say 'nope that river has a waterfall a mile up so it's against the rules.

Ok, the above is over exaggerating... lol but when I think 'no waterfalls' I think a waterfall that is clearly within view and is clearly a waterfall. I didn't even know that was a waterfall there until you ran all the way over and down the hill to show it, thought it was a bend in the river to be honest lol.

Tell us a story.

I never got another E-Mail saying anything diffrently and there is no indication that we couldn't be near a waterfall or show a river together with a waterfall.

At some point the instructions got changed and I still don't know why, but that was also just for a handful of people and not everyone (I didn't get the new instructions~)

So, you can't really say it's rigged, more like a mistake from the side of those organizing this contest :3

...either way, thankoo for the lulz.

MOAR ENTM!!! ROUND 3!!! NAAAAAU!!!

Congrats to the winners of pr2. Unfortunately, I will not be advancing but Its a relief.

RE the discussion about the rules/judges. I appreciate the work the Rongi has done to create a community event that adds a new element to the game. However, the organizers of the competition should take player critiques and learn from them. Providing clear rules that are consistent amongst all players is basic. Attacking players who express their concerns is not cool. This is for fun, just apologize about the inconsistencies and try to make sure it doesn't happen again. This even takes participant time, too. Inconsistencies should upset them.
|
Also, I don't believe that SS judging credentials exist, but its strange that someone from outside the community is a judge. They dont know the limitations that exist and may lack the perspective of the work it took. But, in the end, the judging is all subjective anyway.

I cannot tell if that post was joke or serious either. Regardless there is no waterfall in the picture so who cares if there is one somewhere close by? She didn't break any rules. An 11? I thought the highest you could score was a 9, 3 being the highest and there was 3 judges. Shows what i know. :D

Lolol!!! Apparently Yunie has a hater! XD

PR3 is up! And here are the eliminated model's pictures. Tyriont's is my personal favorite!

Rongi...that's not the photo I sent you >.>

Eh? Resend it real quick.

Oooooh i see your retake! You snuck it in with the retake of the rivershoot. Hah

I did. You can see where I originally sent it on Aug 16th.

There we go! It's up!

Where were you yesterday when I asked who submitted reshoots? Wanted to make sure THIS didn't happen hah.

Hmmm i just noticed that depending on what computer you are on Imgur will give you different text. Weird.

I thought you meant recently resubmitted. (shrugs)

No big deal! We caught it in time ^^

ooh Tyriont's is great and i like Visan's pic too alot! :D

Yay for PR3

EDIT:
Phew, I voted first for this round~
Gotta make use of the fact that I can actually vote now :3

Awake from the lala-nap and laughing at this!!! LOL?!
What makes me sad is that this level of....anger(?) suggests to me that this was an eliminated model and that there will be a
rotten vote this time around (or for now on)?

I'm surprised at the kind judges' score too, but only because I felt like I took better "outtakes"
and there is the case of the missing foot.... @_@

PR3!!!!!!!! Absolutely love this round, especially Arias'!!! Looked like you punched Ifrit in the face!!!
Will update first post of this thread with link soon!
BTW, is Ifrit more glowier in Hard/Extreme mode? I just went into Normal mode with people nice enough to queue with me and leave me to my numerous fiery deaths.
Never really caught the glowy distinction. Great pics all!!

Edit: Link to PR3 Thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...minary-Round-3

Is it too early to show Round 3 Bloopers?

Post away! ^^

Don't worry about rotten votes Yunie. The judges scores are purely here to make friend votes obsolete.

Edit: Apparently we have a cap on how many posts we can make a day on the forum? What is that cap?

Oh, I just sent ya an e-mail about it!
Hurray for starting out the Round at automatic -1!?

Time to join Maxwell and Rhaja!^

My favorite in the eliminated was Kuchichis :p but everyone did such a good job!

im not giving what they did an excuse.. but if someone were to read through this discussion thread they may think they see some favoritism among post. Perhaps you were just the unlucky soul they latched onto? I seen nothing wrong with your pic as the waterfall wasnt actually seen in the pic. That being said everyone has a right to vote how they feel, just move on and dont let it bother u :p
