OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Aelinau]

GL to those still in! I'm glad to be out as i was tired of my Hyur.. kinda shocked i ended with 0 tallies from judges..

That being said i think you all should be alittle more sportsmanlike to your fellow models. Noone enjoys drama... and with that my votes will reflect what i am seeing in this thread.

Again ty for the chance of being apart of something different!

For anyone worrying we will be unfair to Kaelah...she will only be eliminated (if she is not one of the 4 that get lowest score) if a certain thing happens! *more vague* I wish I could say it outright, but I don't want judges or voters to react differently.

This round we lost Santherelle, my little punk rocker, Aelinau, my fellow PS3 player, Tyriont, one of the absolute sexiest Elezens I have ever seen, and many others. It was so sad on all sides of the competition, as Judges lost their favorites, voters lost their favorites, and the models saw their friends get eliminated.

Yunie I didn't even notice a missing body piece!!! HAHA!
Aelinau, You have a LALA?! ...I gave you a 0 because you hid the river behind you and hid the forest scenery with your musical ability. I just thought of something! For anyone else who wants to use the poses from skills, you could consider turning off spell effects? I haven't tried this myself so I don't know if it will work, but assuming it does turn off all effects, think how Aelinau's shot could have been if she hadn't had all that music flooding the picture.
Kaelah, you can't quit now! You already turned in all your shots! Mwahahaha. But Valentina is right. You may have gotten to this point due to luck, but hey 3 miqotes dropped out and you got to this point, so someone somewhere, peppermint god or otherwise, wants you here, so don't quit until you really are voted out. I promise I wont be unfair, just...wait til the end of the round to see what my vagueness was referring too! ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;

Also, Aelinau, thank you for bringing up Sportsmanship. I think a certain model really did forget how to do that this round, and I am offended for, and apologize to all of the other models that were insulted by their comment.

Sorry!!! HAH! It's 6am and I am at work! @_@ You are my Valentine <3 but your name is Valentina! <333 Sorry ; ; haha

Epsil! I asked you before and you said you wouldn't be available! I am aiming for today at 11am Central USA time on Skype! Two of our judges don't play so an ingame meeting is impossible. I was hoping our first guest judge would respond in time so she could join as well, but it looks like she wont make it!

@Kaelah, just gonna hint at what I wrote on page 25~ xD'

I really would've liked to not drop out but because of personal reasons, I felt like I had to D:
I certainly could've submitted the first shot post prelim making it a good shot and the other shots after that being fillers that get replaced when I would've had time but knowing me, I would've forgotten about taking new shots and resubmitting them for the post prelim rounds.

I'd rather drop out than continue competing in this contest halfheartedly because of those said personal reasons^^

@Rongi, can models that got eliminated already be guest judges as well?.?

[EorzeasNTM]

Yomiiiii! My Evangelion angel! ; ;

I'll be posting PR3 after the Judging Panel btw! ^^ So check back around ... maybe 1pm central time? Unless I fall asleep. then I will post it sometime tonight. xD

You miss me already? :3

Mya, just so you can see your angel again:

Here's one of the shots I also considered submitting when I applied for this cycle, consider it an "outtake" since I didn't use this one though^^

[YunieAura]

That's a good question What does it take to be a panel judge and a guest judge?

[EorzeasNTM]

The outtakes are so fun to see haha. Its fun to see how peoples ideas changed over time.

I had two judges drop out before the contest, so The "final" judges were Myself, My friend Momoko who doesn't play, my RP FC's leader, and another Balmung guy. I wanted the panel as even as possible. After the balmung guy dropped out, I found Epsil immediately! His qualifications? Awesome screen shots! xD After the FC Leader didn't send in scores, I had to quickly find a final judge, so I went to my IRL friend who I've played many a mmo with over the 10 year friendship, Lunalo! She turned out to be the Simon of the contest >_> so I am a little scared what Judging Panel is gonna be like with her. xD

tldr: to be a judge you just have to be asked by me. It's all about scheduling and ease of getting scores. xD

For Cycle 3 I am thinking myself, the winner of cycle 2 (or one of the Top 3 if the winner is unavailable), and Morina from Cycle 1 if she is available ( Please???) Valintine from cycle 1 has way too many issues with her email account to get scores from unfortunately! ; ;and finally, one of the original judges from Cycle 1 assuming she isn't the cycle 2 winner xD(she knows who she is!) Then other models from this Cycle will be guest judges. ^^ That's months away, but I feel like at least that gives some credentials to the judges. So far, only Epsil really has any real credentials ne? xD

[Tinsley]

Here's one of my pr2 outtakes... i call it.. wonkyleg eorzea style

[Epsil]
