OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

Just to clarify his point about alphabetical order, in Marketing if you want someone to choose a particular option you put it sooner rather than later. The reason for this is because if someone is lazy, once they find 3 they like, they'll say F it and just vote for those 3 without really looking at others. I don't think it's causing too many issues, but a way around being worried you're playing favoritism if you randomize the orders is to just move everyone up a slot every round, with the first person taking the last. So it'd go A, B, C ,D, for one round, then B,C,D,A, and etc.

For this kind of casual competition I think that would be a sufficient sollution to alleviate the worries from people who dislike it always having the same order.

Again, I don't think it's a particularly big issue here, just trying to help explain what he means to hopefully help!

Maybe not randomize, but how about moving the list down every round? Round one would be organized as A, B, C, and D. Round two would have the list pushed down one step so it would be organized as D, A, B, C. Round three would do the same so it would go C, D, A, B. This would continue as such until the end. The reason to push it down one step is so that those who were at the bottom of the list for the round immediately get pushed to the top in the next round! I think this would probably be a wonderful solution!

Ironically, I tend to think the opposite. The last person in the album has the biggest opportunity to make a lasting impression on the viewer and have their photo be the freshest in one's mind where as someone might forget the first in an album.

Regardless, we'll definitely all discuss it. I think an issue becomes even with randomizing, if someone who gets put in whatever last place of the album will that really stop complaints, or just make people think it was the RNG that ruined their chances?

I don't know if there's really a good solution or not.
