OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Tinsley]

Opinions pleez! Should judges from Cycle 3 Girls be able vote in the Cycle 3 Guys thread? Since we are combining the casts at the top 3, I think it might be unfair...but only if the judges are voting for guys they think will lose to the girls. I on the other hand want to vote for who I think will provide the best competition for my girls. xD

Let me know so I know know whether to look forward to voting for once. xD

I think it'd be a conflict of interest to vote.. as much as i'd love to vote for the girls. If they weren't going to be combined near the end i'd say go for it but, at this point im gonna say judges cant vote. Instead of casting official votes maybe we can just post gentle critiques/opinions/favorite shots of the other genders round?

ooo yeah that's a nice idea, providing all models want critique I suppose. :3

[Tinsley]

yah probably shouldnt have used the word critique lol

[Bramble]

Wish i had more time to be a judge I'll still add my vote whenever i can though :3 Sounds like there's a lot of exciting stuff coming, looking forward to what people come up with!

Also, another great round, can't believe how popular the Arihman mount was, reminded me of mine from the prelims such a creepy-but-badass mount though!

Here's a few i took for this round.

Is that a bad thing?

I feel bad. As the number of models has dropped, we've forced Arias to vote for boys. LOL

Hey! I've been voting for LALAs this round, so that should say something about how good these pics have been.

People sometimes ask to see my face.
xD I wanna hide it with a mask, I hope Halloween gives
us the old Pumpkin face again, I'll always ALWAYS hide my face then. o:
[I want my hair covered too...1,000,000 gil to reveal face! xD]

[AmalahRose]

Lalas on unicorns. ; ;
I might just die from the cute.

I'm honestly torn on the voting question. On the one hand, I understand the conflict of interest issue. But on the other, I feel that if someone would deliberately vote for someone weak to make things easier for "our" team at the end, they shouldn't be a judge anyway! Then again, I know I've stopped voting in the threads to pre-empt any perceived bias since all of my selected judges are still in the contest...

My vote is that judges from the other panel should be allowed to vote alongside everyone else. I'd like to think we've chosen trustworthy judges. I certainly won't complain if we wind up going the other way though, it's definitely valid reasoning.

@Yomi not trying out again for Cycle 3? D:

@Princesst3a If you feel like applying, you should! End Game gear doesn't give an advantage, I think. The more creative your outfits (dyes and what pieces you mix) the better score you get! You've got a level 50 battle and gatherer craft, so you've got a lot of outfit combinations at your finger tips! And with Kurri helping you'll get even more! xD

Haha, I actually wanted to try out for cycle 3 again.... then again, I kinda wanted to be a Judge as well^^

And I totally forgot about the fact, that I'm not allowed to enter the contest as a Judge (even though I wanted to) so yeah... I didn't really think this through .,.'
