OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[FruityTootie]

ATTENTION ENTM!

DO YOU THINK THIS REALLY DESERVED 11 POINTS FOR THE JUDGES!?



AT FIRST GLANCE MAYBE?!?! BUT LETS LOOK A LITTLE FARTHER!

For Preliminary Round 2 you will need to find a sunny, quiet spot near one of the many rivers or Eorzea. You shouldn't be in the water, but on the banks. Weather must be sunny, so time of day must be around noon time. No waterfalls. Gear and it's color are up to you. The background/scenery you choose should be epic/beautiful/serene! Please be in a green forest! No snow or deserts!

Weather must be sunny, so time of day must be around noon time. No waterfalls. Gear and it's color are up to you.

No waterfalls.

NOW AT FIRST YOU MIGHT THINK THERE ARE NO WATERFALLS. BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG!

HERE IS THE EVIDENCE...........

YUNI USED THIS WATERFALL IN HER SHOT TO ENHANCE HER SHOT AND SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED.

IT'S OBVIOUS THE JUDGES DON'T EVEN FOLLOW THEIR OWN RULES....

No waterfalls.

AND THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED! RIGGGGGGGEEDDDDDDDDD!!

Actually, these are the instructions everyone should've gotten with the first E-Mails send out:

For Preliminary Round 2 you will need to find a sunny, quiet spot near one of the many rivers or Eorzea. You shouldn't be in the water, but on the banks. Weather must be sunny, so time of day must be around noon time. Gear and it's color are up to you. Are you taking a break from a day of adventuring? Are you fishing up dinner for tonight? Tell us a story.

I never got another E-Mail saying anything diffrently and there is no indication that we couldn't be near a waterfall or show a river together with a waterfall.

At some point the instructions got changed and I still don't know why, but that was also just for a handful of people and not everyone (I didn't get the new instructions~)

So, you can't really say it's rigged, more like a mistake from the side of those organizing this contest :3

Bunch of caps and spaces with a video.

Here's what I think about that lil part of the river.

Congrats to the winners of pr2. Unfortunately, I will not be advancing but Its a relief.

RE the discussion about the rules/judges. I appreciate the work the Rongi has done to create a community event that adds a new element to the game. However, the organizers of the competition should take player critiques and learn from them. Providing clear rules that are consistent amongst all players is basic. Attacking players who express their concerns is not cool. This is for fun, just apologize about the inconsistencies and try to make sure it doesn't happen again. This even takes participant time, too. Inconsistencies should upset them.

Also, I don't believe that SS judging credentials exist, but its strange that someone from outside the community is a judge. They dont know the limitations that exist and may lack the perspective of the work it took. But, in the end, the judging is all subjective anyway.

I cannot tell if that post was joke or serious either. Regardless there is no waterfall in the picture so who cares if there is one somewhere close by? She didn't break any rules. An 11? I thought the highest you could score was a 9, 3 being the highest and there was 3 judges. Shows what i know.

<insert srs scandal pls>

Awake from the lala-nap and laughing at this!!! LOL?!
What makes me sad is that this level of....anger(?) suggests to me that this was an eliminated model and that there will be a
rotten vote this time around (or for now on)?

I'm surprised at the kind judges' score too, but only because I felt like I took better "outtakes"
and there is the case of the missing foot.... @_@

PR3!!!!!!!! Absolutely love this round, especially Arias'!!! Looked like you punched Ifrit in the face!!!
Will update first post of this thread with link soon!
BTW, is Ifrit more glowier in Hard/Extreme mode? I just went into Normal mode with people nice enough to queue with me and leave me to my numerous fiery deaths.
Never really caught the glowy distinction. Great pics all!!
