Neat! When does casting start?

Maxwell, were you interested in judging now you know a little more about what's involved? Still got that last open spot on my judge team :D

I really wanted to judge as well but guess it kinda slipped by >_>

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!

Actually I proposed this already due to certain reasons and it is in fact a real thing on SyFy Face/Off


TBH im quite disappointed with the last round myself, so many people were in the OMG its too dark freak mode of the shot instead of appreciating the shot for what it was conveying, not only that but now we do a rinse repeat with this current one and 2 dark shots complete with black mounts and everyone is fine with it?????

/soapboxoff

Tally w/o below 20 posts up to PureEclipse

Maxwell - 14
Yunie - 13
Kurri - 11
Ciara - 10
Tinsley - 6
Vahn - 5
Jayzan - 5

Yeah, I'll be happy to volunteer now! :) seems a lot less stressful then I originally interpreted.

A lot of cool shots guys. I'm glad I got so lucky getting my shot. Aggroing the FATE boss and the surrounding ahrimans to get a dynamic background was a little stressful to say the least.

It's kinda funny that everyone keeps saying im wearing the same outfit, im actually only wearing one piece of it and in fairness, even with a large wardrobe im running out of things to wear!(Not that I blame anyone of the shots i took im more behind him but still! lol)
Also bit thank you to Almaz for making my awesome gryp boots for this round <33 u gurl!

I'm not going to say hers was worse then another, however, I think what you see happening in this situation is the shot was weaker then her previous shots and that can be a shocker to people in comparison. As we get closer to the end it becomes more difficult for voters to choose because they are more limited on votes, If you're not in that top # for people it's more difficult to get votes.

Well i wasnt going to post it but this is the shot i meant to send in.. sharing it because even though i forgot to push my graphics to high i think it came out really well and i dont want it to rot alone in my screenshot folder :D

So much work to get that mount @~@, I wish I had the sanity to sit through Maelstrom frontlines lol.

My submission was supposed to be dark and ominous, not flashy or colorful. Not everyone appreciates that, and I knew it was risky. Of course I'm disappointed, but I also chose not to do something I knew would reach a wider audience, and it's fine. Maybe I'll do things differently if I ever try this again; I don't know. But I'm sure my friends are glad to be done with it, heh. ENTM took an inordinate amount of time, and I hadn't done much except it and raid lately.

/soothe

At work on my phone, no silly gifs for now. Sorry!

Just completed my new Glamour, after having someone desynthesize the fish I caught :3

Do you need help? You're on my server and we could get you some clears on Friday, that way you are set for the casting on Saturday.

---

Whoa, I had no idea.
I'm gonna have to do me some more Frontlines! If for nothing else then to take some awesome SS!
~_~ I got frustrated after I kept running into whole parties made up of healers. It felt as if no matter what I did, I couldn't help my team get ahead.

Grats to those who won the Moonfire Faire screenie contest!
I saw Mini Ninja, Moemo (sp?), and myself on this list, ^^;
sorry if I missed your forum name if you won!
ENTM training right??

My selected judges are: Kyri, Maxwell, Tinsley and Vahn.

Max, Vahn, would you both please send me a mail at EorzeasNTMTyriont@gmail.com so I can get your contact info?

Anyone else interested in judging, I know I would like to keep at least one or two people available as potential backups in case a judge can't do a round/drops out, so feel free to still let me know if interested! I'm sure Rongi wouldn't mind having a few backups for the women's contest either. :D

I certainly wouldn't mind being a backup~ o.o'

I feel like I'm getting ignored when I write something though @@

Just responding here Yunie ;3

Yeah, I get that's what is happening, but that's hard for me to interpret that from the picture itself. I guess for me I would have like to see that at face value w/o being told. When I think of in motion, I'm expecting the shot to portray that more which I think is difficult to do with that mount unless you're zoomed out like Vahn's.

I think the shot looks good for the theme that you were after. Just in my mind it didn't fit the round's theme of "mount in motion". Also I think your Nightmare mount pic was really good and I thought it would have been a better choice :S. It was a really nice shot from a color coordination and motion standpoint.

Well I'm not sure if I'm out this round, people don't like my pic and honestly I just couldn't come up with an idea for this round fast enough.

I'm a bit swamped with things to do in game, I'm trying to clear Turn 9 before 2.4 so that is taking alot of time in order to find a clear group. And preparing for Ninja since it's going to be my main, I also lead an FC lol... So yea, I'm already super busy in game and its weighing down on me. I would really really like to be a judge tho, I think I have enough time for that tho still and am really interested in doing the judge thing.

btw, I sent that email Tyriont~

Sorry Yomi, feels like there's three pages to catch up on every time I come back! I've definitely got you down as my backup, if you could send me an email at the same address I posted earlier so I can get your contact info that'd be awesome!

I def didn't see it weaker than her others, a lot of the comments all went one direction why people didn't vote for her...it was too dark, the dark choco against the dark background seemed to throw everyone in some crazy dive that was uncontrollable until it crashed and burned. I don't know, as I stated, there should be a save allowed per judging cycle, it wont hurt any to do it, just next round have 2 instead of 1 eliminated to make up for the save..

and not to beat a dead horse but I would have this entire current round removed. Since even the contestants were not thrilled about it. (some of the pics ive seen of the mounts here in this thread work so much better, not to mention the amazing one from Kin) I honestly had a hard time choosing any of them this cycle. But I am not a judge, just a member of these forums wanting to see some good stuff.

Ya, Mini Ninja entered his miqote Bandit^^;
And I think Moe was a voter,
not sure if they frequent this discussion thread anymore though @_@
The Mandy necklace is so cute! My friends hate it though! WHYYY :x
Didn't realize they had changed the screenie contest rewards since the Ahriman~!
After the first few of those fugly Ahriman chokers clogging up the mailbox... /snore

@Kaiyoko - Np, I totally understand! I didn't go with the horse because it was along
the "cute" line of shots people were getting bored of and complaining about, and also
I needed to get away from nature shots~! So I took a risk, and it's working mostly so far @_@

FF is being dumb for me again, but at least I have a Round 10 picture in place already~
Hopefully the maintenance tomorrow will fix the disconnect/lag/log-in problems~!!!

Thanks for getting in touch Max, Vahn and Yomi!

Now I just need to think of an awesome name for my panel of judges...

I feel bad. As the number of models has dropped, we've forced Arias to vote for boys. LOL

;___; that's so nice of you. I think I'm resigned to waiting at least one more cycle, though. I'm trying to time my clears with my partner who has less time to play, too, so we'll see how that goes.

Besides, I've only been a spectator since the beginning of Cycle 2...I might benefit from staking out through Cycle 3 before diving into the shark-infested waters of competition...((((゜д゜,))))

Opinions pleez! Should judges from Cycle 3 Girls be able vote in the Cycle 3 Guys thread? Since we are combining the casts at the top 3, I think it might be unfair...but only if the judges are voting for guys they think will lose to the girls. I on the other hand want to vote for who I think will provide the best competition for my girls. xD

Let me know so I know know whether to look forward to voting for once. xD

Ty, I am finally free from homework!!! :D :D :D So I will be working on the Casting Call Thread. Expect a roughdraft email soon.
Everyone else, get HYPED! :D

@Yomi not trying out again for Cycle 3? D:

@Princesst3a If you feel like applying, you should! End Game gear doesn't give an advantage, I think. The more creative your outfits (dyes and what pieces you mix) the better score you get! You've got a level 50 battle and gatherer craft, so you've got a lot of outfit combinations at your finger tips! And with Kurri helping you'll get even more! xD

Is it weird I'm excited about making the new banners?

That is a good point about the male voting thing... hmm. While I'd be sad to not be allowed to vote for them, you do raise an excellent point!
