Male hair petition ~

Not even sure if this will get deleted or what not but it doesn't hurt to try eh?
Well for starters could we make it for more than one hairstyle to win in each sex? Like really, people throw in your vote if you agree :^( I kinda am butthurt over the fact the unoriginal hair is winning and like 8 entries are jokes? Or just trolling by admins..? Or what but yeah, petition for atleast 2-3 hairs to win the competition so we can actually get good hair into the game <: ?

wheres the petition to stop giving the community opportunity to get involved because they cant handle the out comes?

i should start a petition to stop a petition.

This is how voting works. The majority wins. I for myself don't like the male hairstyle currently winning. But there is nothing I can do for it. I said this many times in past. One of the things I would like to see in this game is more customization options. Way more hairstyle, eyes, noses, faces and body options. More options = less disappointed ppl

Yeah i hate the leading male style too, but a petition won't do anything. You gotta accept your losses. It'd be cool if the runner up got put in too, but that's unlikely.

My favorite hairstyle isn't winning by a long shot. :P

Nothing you can really do. Voters are allowed to vote on the entries they like best. Sometimes what you like will be what everyone else likes, sometimes it won't, but that's life.

Really? A petition against DEMOCRACY!?

If SE never did another contest like this again I wouldn't blame them. The amount of whining is unreal.

Same. I'm embarrassed at how this community has acted over this contest, toward both the finalists and the devs. I would hope they'd do something similar in the future to get the community involved, but yeah if they were to decide not to bother... Can't blame them.

You can't blame people considering entries that clearly go directly against the rules STILL ending up in the finalist choices.
Take it as critical constructive critiquing rather than whining as this will show SE that they need to tighten up and stick to the rules THEY THEMSELVES WROTE. it shows a slight lack of commitment to people's sensibilities when they put hard work into designs only to find that some were taking up spots that not only they but other unique styles could have taken.

It's expected because it shows lack of attention and makes it appear like SE is full of it. I entered and am not bitter that mine didn't get in BUT knowing that some are clear ripoffs (one WITH AN IMAGE RIPPED FROM SE EMBEDDED INTO THE PICTURE: Warrior of Light - Red)that go against the rules, coupled with some of the "samey" designs are going to warrant discussion and criticism.

People expect them to AT LEAST follow their own rules.

Comments like "those finalists suck" and "why wasn't MY entry chosen" and "I don't like any of the [winning] finalists, can't we vote again" aren't very constructive, and yet make up the vast majority of the complaints. The only real argument one could make is SE apparently waffling on the "original design" rule, to which they seem to have taken a stance where an 'interpretation' of something pre-existing is fine so long as the artist clearly worked on it (such as the red Fighter hair and the Quistis-looking 'do). That seems to be the case since they immediately disqualified a submission when they learned it was a literal copy-paste job and left the other two. That falls into the realm of the rules being unclear.

So yes, the contest has had it's share of problems, largely stemming from unclear rules, but most of the complaints made are unrelated to those problems and are unconstructive.

People have quoted the contest rules as stating "original works" which, to be clear, is not the same as "original design". Original work would be something made from nothing, the first version. Doesn't have to be a new and unique thing, just created in a unique way. A statue of a famous person would be an original work, the original design very clearly being the famous person. "What does a statue have to do with this?" The hairstyles based off the minion and Quistis? Clearly they weren't copied from outside sources like Female #12 was, which is the difference here. Female #12 was, literally, a photoshop edit. The only original work there was from the lady who'd taken the original photo, the person who'd entered it only edited it to fit Square's model.
