I assumed he removed that post requirement :S, he doesn't have that posted on the OP of that thread anymore. Maybe Rongi can confirm.

he probably forgot it~
if not then i'd love to have so many people vote

Awww, looks like the last Miqo'te in this cycle is probably getting eliminated? :(

I'm so sad ;_;

Hey all! You guys have been busy adding pages to the thread i see! Hehe.

My panel for the girls will be 5 judges, and so far I have, who? Myself, Morina, Anonymous (Tyriont don't say this person's name! Only you know it besides themselves), Tinsley, and Kaelah? I don't mind an all girl panel honestly. Boys are stinky. <33

The YT Panel is Myself, Kurri, Nariko, and Tyriont. Need 1 more. Also, we need some kind of persistent chatroom to deliberate in, since I want us to argue over who goes who each round. Any websites like that?

If anyone else said they wanted to be a judge, sorry i missed it! Scatterbrain Rongi. :D But I do agree with Tyriont, let's not have too many people on multiple panels so that as many people can participate as possible! ^^

Sorry, I originally put "20 posts and under cannot vote" but deleted it on accident some how when cleaning up the thread. Oops.

As for the 3 Casting Call pictures, one will be the scenic shot of your choice (but don't forget to have a nice outfit and pose as well), the other will be a battle shot of your choice (think ifrit's cauldron round 2), and the last will be a coordinated outfit to your own theme, but you will have to take the screen shot on the stage in Gridania's Amphitheater! Under your picture youll say "this outfit is for a night on the town" or "a farm hand!" or something. Points will be taken off for using gear that isn't dyeable. (or is dyeable, but you didn't dye like af1). I want to see your best outfits. Don't forget to pose to fit the theme as well. Background wont matter because everyones background will be the stage.

In Cycle 2 I tried to include as many people as possible, but it was a lot of work. So I am super happy Tyriont is taking 12 boys, and I am taking 12 girls. Plus, if we have smaller casts, we can make this contest a lot more cycles! But after Cycle 3 let's all take a winter break until next year! I don't want to spend Thanksgiving, Finals Week, Christmas, and New Years doing this. Deal? ^^; My goal is 5 cycles and then a 6th Cycle All stars! So Vahn, please wait for Cycle 6 to rejoin! Until then, be a judge! ^^

Edit: Also, I wont be making 100% final decisions on my cast, i dont think Tyriont either, until after the last day for Submissions, so feel free to replace your casting call pictures over and over. I -hope- no one steals ideas from other people, but if you do at least make it look even better than the person you steal it from. Lol. If it looks exactly the same, I will think your a thief! D:

Casting Call Thread will be up this weekend! You have until the Season Finale of Cycle 2 to submit. Someone do the math. Each round lasts 3 days and we are on round 9 tonight, 14 total. two weeks about?

If I never see this image again I will be okay. xD Scary!!!!

Oh, the round ends tonight~! Eep...
Rongi, I need a 'downloaded and replaced' email! ^^

My panel will also be 5 judges then! Thus far the only 100% confirmed judges are myself and Kyri, so I need three more! Ideally two male and one female, but that's just because I'm obsessive :p

Rongi, I know Kyri is also interested in joining us for the YouTube panel!

I suppose maybe I was over-thinking panel responsibilities somewhat. Can I ask what it would involve exactly?

From the outside looking in, it seems the judges have several days from when the round begins to submit their critiques and numerical scores. If that's really the majority of it, I wouldn't mind throwing in my hat for consideration in the panel.

The YouTube panel likely is out of my reach with scheduling, but as long as I have at least a day to give back scores and critiques for the male panel, I think it'd work fine. It'd be fun to be on the otherside as well. :)

I'd be interested in being a judge :O

Max: For the Cycles, Judges have from the day the round starts, til the time the round ends to submit their scores and critiques. ^^ For the YT one. since it's only 6 models all the judging will be done over the course of a week or two, and then i will make the vids.

I'll sign Kyri (Ciara? What should I call you?) up for the YT one then! ^^

Shutting down the round and sending out emails now.

Baby, you can call me whatever you want <3 (Most call me Kyri, Mack or ciara though :P)

Rongi, is Fraps ok to use for Cycle 3 turn in pics :3? I remember there being something brought up about using Fraps in the past because it was missing the SE logo.

Wow, ahrimans were popular! xD
If only I'd known~!
Alternate shot..........

JESUS YOU GUYS WERE FAST! XD Were you like waiting to hit POST with an already written thread?! XD

Fraps is fine~ Just no croppying! ^^ Just put a note saying *i used fraps* so I know that is the reason your SE logo is missing.

Yuni, were you interested in judging? Did I miss a post by you? Seems everyone else is so far!

Tyriont, haha you got your Tinsley!! ^^ She said if needed I could "red rover red rover send a judge over" to you xD

So we're at...

Cycle 3 Girls: Rongi, Yunie, Morina, Kaelah, and...one spot open!
YT Cycle: Rongi, Tyriont, Nariko, Kurri, and Ciara (baby ^_~)
Cycle 3 Guys: Tyriont, Tinsley, Ciara, Vahn, and...he needs one more as well?

Morina seems to be the only model who has stuck around from Cycle 1, but if any others are out there reading this, you can be a judge too ya know? Ty and I both got a spot open! ^^ Also, Cycle 2 models round of applause for sportsmanship!! Most of you have all stuck around to continue to show support even after elimination. It's really nice. I'd say I hope you do in Cycle 3 as well, but since most of you are judges I dont have too! XD

HAH! I KNEW PEOPLE DID THAT!!!! I have made it private while rearranging the pics for every single round, only making it public about 30 seconds before hitting the post button, but this time I thought "I wonder...naaaaah people wouldn't do that!" and made it public the whole time I was setting up the thread! XDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Kin, welcome to the club, I have a special section for sexy miqotes <3

XD!!!! Only 2nd time I've done it, I swear! LOL
m(_ _)m
Ohhh, fellow judge with Morina! My Cycle 1 fave.
Still sad about the withdrawal. Broke so many hearts!

Where is Kin?
I need her...and I want to hold her. ;______;
http://media1.giphy.com/media/oAW9QPkQwJqJq/giphy.gif
KIIIIIIIIIINN!! ;A;

Another shocking elimination huh? All it takes is one "weak" photo to get eliminated. There was only a 4 point difference I believe?

All you incoming Cycle 3 models, be on your toes!

Note: The judges don't see each other's scores, and usually submit them within the first day or so of the round going up. I do mine then as well so I dont get swayed by any votes as well. So saving models is impossible. Just in case anyone was gonna bring that up next after the "save a model for one round!" option. There really is no way to save a top scorer from elimination with this system...the only way is if Voters say "Man, Model 4 was weak this week, but she has been so good every week before...I'll throw them a bone and vote for them any way!" which is totally allowed!

@Yunie I am gonna have to send you to rehab...LMAO. And yes, Morina was GREAT! Was sooo sad she couldn't unlock CT in time for that shot. ; ;

Okay guys, I am gonna go work on homework. Email me if anything horrendous comes up (wrong picture or something)

Night everyone!

One more edit: Yunie's picture makes me lol. I imagine her stealing Toto from Dorothy and saying "if you want your dog back you know where to find me" and flying off to CT on her eyeball. xD

I don't know about being a judge, feels like its restricting :c


But seriously, what's with all the random slacking this round? none of the shots made me go o_o
was it just me?

This was my entry/placeholder. I liked this shot but I was still thinking of trying to retake it, because I thought that not showing my face would give me less votes.

My personal favorite, happened with a glitch, Ronji said no with good reason :P

http://i.imgur.com/JqIM2vq.png

http://i.imgur.com/vYSBlkR.png

http://i.imgur.com/yfTY272.png

Im hoping one of these makes Aelinau happy <3 I felt bad letting my #1 fan down last round! D:

(and Yunie to make up for her disappointment in the shots, love yours btw! also please what weather was that? Never seen such a pretty sky in thanallan and ive lived out there the last few days@.@)


Kin Im gonna miss you! but I thought for sure you were the top 3 so in a horrible way im kinda relieved but damnit woman your gorgeous @.@ *brings ice cream and batman movies over!*

Not late for dinner ^.-

I'm going to get judged to the extreme when I compete in cycle 3 >_>: ;-;

O_O dem placeholders are awesome!

Yunie, lalafriend, imo you should have stuck with the nightmare mount shot! It's so dynamic and well placed! I prefer it to the ahriman one! Although, to be fair, you look adorable in both~ -feeds cookies-

Yuni, I love those shots!! Particularly the day scene where you are riding through the ruins. If you made it this far, I feel as if you would have dominated with that photo. Is that really the sky in game? O_____O
._. I'm so jelly of Elezen and Hyur ladies... I want my fem roeg to ride side saddle dangit! >_<

Ron, this is a very dynamic shot. However, you should have left the axe hidden since it obscures you too much. So even though we don't see your face, we should still see YOU. XD Otherwise, really well done!

Ciara, the ones w/ the frogs made me laugh. It's as if the ahriman is trolling it ' u mad bro?' XDD Then the frog tries to eat it... XDD best shot, ever!
Reminds me a bit of the time a raptor photo-bombed my shot of Ughamaro~ behold!

If the pictures seem disappointing, blame me! This theme may have worked better in my head? But I think all the pictures turned out really really well!!! ^^

HALP

Welcome to the out party Kin~ ; ; We have cookies! ^-^
Wow many of us had the same idea haha!

This was my placeholder:
https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/12...661/FKn4SX.png

I was planning to retake that, zoomed with more Coeurls in the shot. Or...

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/19...537/CaZzSO.png

I was gonna try to retake this one zoomed too and decide which I liked more.
Edit: I'll vote tomorrow, my daily post count is reached apparently lol.

Waaah....last round's elimination makes me sad...A surprisingly weak shot from an awesome contender, but not the weakest IMO. It makes me really wish for a model save or "safe from elimination" mechanic, but I realize the difficulties in implementing such a thing, and this kind of does make it seem more true-to-reality-tv! Lol

I wish I could audition for cycle 3 but seeing as I currently have no access to endgame content, I wouldn't be fit for most challenge criteria...ah well, maybe in the future *__* I will continue to be a diehard spectator though!

I didn't find the pictures disappointing at all!
I think that this theme is very creative ^^

This theme made me nostalgic for the beta days, where the bridge at Highgate was seen as a great place for prime fate farm fate farms in the 20s! People with their newly obtained chocobos would line up, like an army, just waiting for that fate chain to spawn:

Off to another adventure...

(This was my round 9 submission.)

Wow.. so many people had the same "witch on an eyeball" idea for this round, self included... here was my placeholder, I felt the background gave it a nice spooky Halloween feel :3

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...540/Z1a9L4.png

Wow mine seemed pretty weak in comparison.

So much for the "Messenger with an important message look"..

why thank you <3
I'm pretty sure I would have dominated with that shot, kinda disappointed with the submissions atm and btw that was at Frontlines, it has an amazing background texture and mounts are enabled there, funny how most participants have i100 pvp gear and haven't gotten the chance to enjoy or even notice the background scenery? weird..
