Now Casting Models for Eorzea's Next Top Model (Cycle 2!)

[Epsil]

Prelim idea


Could probably do it by race/gender first ? Voters choose 6 (3 Male and 3 Female) Since it's a prelim~ Thus top 30 are chosen.

Top 30, voters choose 2 male and 2 female from each race/gender~ Top 20

(OR)

Voters chose 2 male and 2 female from each race/gender in the top 40 thus making it a double elimination knocking it down to Top 20


-The race/gender prelims- 2* day vote period?

-Since there are 5 races... 2* day vote period for each race (not all 5 races at the same time)would take up 10* days?

* = Days depending on host



Sidenote: Posted this on the final cycle 1 thread if ya'll haven't seen it XD. I got bored and followed along with the themes of each round http://imgur.com/a/UBGBT#8 *cheers on Hyur models on since he didn't make the cut XD*

Hey guys! Just a heads up, in photoshoot 2 you must have the "title of photoshoot" in the background in someway. This is a scenic "name of photoshoot" shot, so mountains or trees do not fit the theme at all.

Errrm, can you clarify? XD What is "photoshoot 2"?
Is this about the Preliminary Rounds 1-3? Or something down the road (Round after the Preliminaries)?

I imagine he's referring to preliminary round 2's photoshoot. There's a specific natural-geographic thing he mentions in the directions of the shoot that people may not be including in the actual screenshot.

top 20, popular vote, no race/gender restrictions. may the best screenshotter win! xD

Preliminary photoshoot 2! Haha sorry. Some people have submitted pictures with mountains and forests as the background with no sign of a "preliminary shoot 2 name" at all so i am trying to clear that up hah.

Preliminary rounds are going to lose 8 each time
40 start
32 after PR1
24 after PR2
16 after PR3

Too many votes will be a pain in the butt to count...

If we eliminate one person from each race/gender in each preliminary round, we'll be left with a top 10, not a top 16 and that will shorten the contest. I dont want to do that. So i can't do it that way.

Prolly going to do a "choose 10 favorite" and add up only the names that appear. The 8 names the appear the least/not at all will have to hope on their judges scores to keep them in the contest.

..just not looking forward to pages of 10 name votes to count. Hah.

Yea, i'll prolly just stick with that. Seems the most fair.

OR base it on race for prelim round 1 (eliminate 10) and 2 (eliminate 10) and then in round 3 eliminate 4 based on 5 favorite votes.

Oooo i like that idea. Hopefully voters dont get confused with how to vote.

Ohhhhh, I got it!
Daaaaang, I was like, I have to add text to my picture now?
Didn't realize the sneakiness. WHOOSH~

I know that feeling

With the shots I've submitted and the competition that we have here, I feel like I won't even make it past the prelims even though I really like the shots I got ;_;

Yeah, I have one shot that's pretty nice, then the alternate version of it is pretty comical but sort of shifts focus from myself that I could risk submitting. Ughhh! XD

Tomorrow night (6pm eastern time) Ill be on for screen caping if any of the models in Balmung want to help me out with a cycle 2 video.


Ill have instructions ready when all the models are submitted so that models in different severs can have the ability to capture some video.

I'm standing by. shoot me a tell when you are ready to go

[Tinsley]

well at least im not the only one lamenting their screenshots. i keep second guessing my choices and thinking i have to take even more.. aughhhh





on a lighter note we should have a "outtakes" thread after the rounds.. i know i have some really goofy shots
