OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

Midnight on the 6th is tonight guys... midnight tomorrow would be the 7th. TONIGHT.

No, you have until tomorrow. Perhaps I should go and edit days of the week into that post.

The days are consistent from week to week, so you will always have until midnight EST the Thursday before the round goes up.

lol that might help. I was panicking all day today. 11:59 pm on the 7th is a lot less ambiguous than midnights, because...obviously there's the debate on what day that midnight is. <3

I can't wait for the results to come out! I'll be posting my pictures here for you to all have a laugh at with as each round passes. I think I made some pretty silly ones and hopefully you guys can get some enjoyment out of it just as much as I've had fun making 'em.

I'm really looking forward to feedback (from the judges!) It is really hard constructing Round 2 photos when you're not sure what the judges are looking for or where you can improve Could there be a way to have a grace day so that we can see feedback before the deadline of our final submission for the next round? Like, how the Models get advice from Tyra before their next photoshoot challenge? xD

I do have a suggestion actually, models. Whether you do it or not is up to you.

This Cycle, I have set up a group Skype chat between the judges, so that questions can be answered faster than e-mail. Many of us judging this time around were contestants in Cycle 2 and the intention of just using this occasionally to answer a question had morphed into a fun group chat which several judges have said they wished they had around as contestants last cycle.

So, while you can't actually meet up in-game, if models are interested then I would be open to the idea of setting up something similar. I could e-mail all the models my Skype username and I would set up a room where you could all share your excitement and frustrations with getting your shots together. That sound like something you'd all be interested in?

I'll join, but not sure how active I'll be

Don't scare me like that! The deadline is midnight PST on the 6th, meaning thursday like last week! ...That hasn't changed, right???

Oh! I'm sorry lol I didn't mean to scare you, I just meant I didn't even realize today had been Wed. so I wouldn't have remember that tomrrow was Thursday lol. So I was like "OMG! Thursday is tomorrow! EEEPPP!"

[Epsil]

Went through my screenshot folder and made this >_>

[KaiKatzchen]

If we do that, it would involve cutting a day from voting, having it end on Wednesday and leaving the deadline on Thursday. (I'm insistent upon keeping the day between submissions ending and the round going up to allow for problems to arise and be fixed, as well as for my sanity). It's worth noting that round voting is longer than it was in Cycle 2 (I wanted to have the days things happen be consistent week-to-week), but we're still getting votes in today, the final day of voting. So it's a trade-off either way. What's everyone's thoughts on this?

Ahh well, we Hyperions are an elite bunch anyways. *looks around* Well us two anyways. Yes! least we can clamor together and maybe talk and run ideas by each other and what not, if I see you or you see me, send me a tell or a friend request.

Well that would be neat, to be able to hear judges critiques before the next rounds submission, but... if it will cause any more stress upon you and the judges, I'd rather not. I want us to all have fun doing this! (I'm enjoying myself, and I'm not even sure if I'm in the next round yet lol) So do what needs to be done that helps us all, and keeps us all sane ^^
