And I'm just trying to figure out how my guildy turned up dead on the front lawn. :3

This is just speculation but I wonder if the amount of voting an individual has to do falls close to TLDR as you have to review, note and then type out 20 names. To get faster results, more of them and possibly cleaner without people having group think, you may want to consider using something like survey monkey. If people can do it in 30 seconds, the likelihood that it will be done greatly increases.

Yes, i considered using something like that...but to avoid cheating as much as possible i decided the pen and paper way of tallying would be better.

I'm sure the voting # will increase as we lessen the models involved. These first two rounds are to keep all 5 races in the final 16 so the voting process is a little harder. But thats ok! The prelim voters are acting like mini judges in helping select the final 16 ne? ^_^

Do we have a current tally of the votes so far? I know my lala is doomed but i'm dying to see how close the others are. :D

I'm honestly fairly certain the biggest reason for the discrepancy is refreshing. People reloading the page with no intention of voting will greatly inflate the views without adding to the tally. (I know I've been a somewhat frequent visitor to the vote thread; surely I'm not the only one.)

There's a recent tally posted a page or two ago by Yunie, and the official tally should be up some time tonight.

Lol dw, we can be doomed together. Maybe I'll enter again in Cycle 3. *shrugs*

Yay someone to be doomed with. I may or may not try cycle 3. If I do I'm entering my miqote I think :D

2 and a half hours remain for submissions for pre lim round 2!

When do we find out the judges' scores?

Everything will be posted tonight that wraps up this round. ^^

Prelim roubd 2 will be posted sometime on Sunday

Congratulations to all the models who made it and thank you judges. I got a good score from you all and that made me feel proud. I will be watching the rest of the competition and voting. :D

Uwahhhh, Ayreon was doing so well! I am sad to see someone withdraw on the first round. I guess RL stuff?
But I am also glad Kaelah was given a 2nd chance as she had maybe 2 days max to get her pictures in for the PRs. Whew!
Congratulations to all and I look forward to seeing your pictures!
My own PR2 submissions and resubmissions have given me much doubt. I hope I'll make it through! @_@

Updated the front page!

Yes, both Ayreon and Elanin withdrew do to RL things that came up. Elanin was eliminated due to score though, so her withdrawal didn't matter.

Withdrawing was a minor issue last cycle, and so i'll just say Ayreon and Elanin have not turned in their Official Round Photos, so I let them withdraw, but if you've turned in all your photos, you wont need to withdraw because...you've already submitted all your photos. Morina was allowed to withdraw last cycle because she had not unlocked Syrcus Tower yet. Rina wasn't allowed because she only wanted to withdraw because she didn't want to lose 10 to 1 against Valintine. ((By not allowed I mean I did not write Withdrew on her photo, or end the contest after she withdrew.) So if anyone is planning on withdrawing, doing so before the photo deadline is the only time you can do it. And it's an automatic disqualification if you don't submit your all your shoots by the deadline.

Wait what? I won this round? Glorious times!

Congrats to all that made it through the first prelim round. Sad to see some be eliminated but, i can honestly say i loved everyone's pictures.

Yunie, i was a basket case over my pics too. Still am lol. The first round was scary but now im worried about this one even more. Can't wait to see all the pics!

Oh dayum. Kinda sad Ayreon dropped out. I suppose it gave me another chance though. Soooo retaking my 3rd prelim pic. Still not happy with it. I was pretty sure I was out so had left it at my 2nd retake lol. Better take a few of the actual rounds too. Eep.

Ayreon broke my heart twice this cycle! First when she changed her hairstyle, and now when she had to drop out! haha.

I was also saddened by Osprey's elimination. Genesis's PR2 picture is one of my favorites, so also sad to see her go. Being host is hard because I get to see all of ya'lls photos at once. ; ;

Turtle, Ashkendor, Vi..I hope ya'll continue to support this Cycle, try to learn a few things, and try out again in Cycle 3! ^^

...Though this has been a lot of work! O_o;;;; I don't think I will have this many Prelim rounds in Cycle 3. The Casting Thread will be the prelim round and you'll have to post 3 pictures...most likely. This was fun though because I got to include so many people ^^ Luckily it all went down during my summer break and I was free. I am taking 7 classes this fall (6 on campus and 1 online) soooo posting rounds is the best I can do. xD

I made it somehow... didn't think I'd get through Prelim Round 1~

I got through by the skin of my teeth >< TY judges for your votes!! I hope my next shot is more on par ^^;;;

Congratulations all, looking forward to seeing the next round. :)

I'm amazed at how close the results were for the male Roegadyns, great pictures.

I'm bricking it now haha! Seriously, been living, eating, breathing screenshots recently... think i'm starting to understand the pressure REAL models go through lmao...


Congrats to all, you all took amazing pictures considering the limitations we have! Looking forward to seeing what the next round brings :D

I....made it through?!

http://cdn.listelist.com/listelistst.../surprised.gif

I am actually surprised I made it through. I don't even know where all those votes came from. I was so far behind at the start. It's really been a close race for us female roegadyns. Well, except for Visan. She beat us hard haha.

I hope my round 2 picture will be good or better. I'm honestly going for interesting shots that I want to share with everyone and that hopefully looks different from the rest.

Haha, yeah! I remember you making a comeback when I was doing the unofficial tallies. :) I find it awesome that the female and male roes are doing amazing in the competition!

I really can't believe I am still in. I don't deserve it! LOOK AT THAT SCORE. lol. I'll be trying to up my game. I reaaaaally hope I get to Round 2 of the actual comp anyway cuz I love my first 2 shots. :3 They are the only ones I have done so far.

I'm so nervous about next round. *chews on nails*

I'm glad I changed it after all. I just wanted to do something different for each round. I wanted at least one sexy pose, one regular and one action. Trying to vary things around with each round. Also it helped showing it to a female friend of mine to see her reaction lol.

That aside...Again, I'm really digging all the images. Female lalafells...I don't know what kind of magic, sorcery or evil witchcraft you're using to make such perfect adorable screenshots. And I absolutely love Rhaja, Pscylo and Ruby their entries. Others are awesome as well off course but they each have their own unique charm or quirk lol.

Also...wtf is "Eorzea's nect Top Model" ??? (Just kidding lol, it made me laugh)

Edit:

Just noticed the dead fish next to Tyriont and then the image made sense lol. Add that one to my faves as well XD

awwwyis. Berku's rock picture, very nice.
Also loved Tyriont's sexy chef pugil cooking, and Rahja's toad picture. o Ao))))
And Visan is so presh. = ^= <3333
