OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Kaelah]

Phew drama. Knew it was coming. xD Well my 2 cents is that even if Adeline did have friends vote for her sometimes, personally, I almost always gave her a 2 or a 3 because the majority of her shots were simply stunning! Her and Eirwen were both neck and neck for me. Judge scores should usually top the balance anyway. :3 It's a prizeless comp too so I don't understand all the rage but hey ho. I can understand from other models I guess since it can take hours or days even to get the shot you want but still, models should know that if they put that effort in, the judges will reward them for it. If you get 2s or 3s across the board there are enough judges that it should still keep anyone in if they deserve it.

Anyway I digress, great cycle guys. I had a lot of fun judging it. ^^

This. Five thousand times this. When I was drowning and beleaguered in my screenshot-crazed 3.5~4 weeks, I was being the meanest bear in all of Phoenix. Submissions of 32 shots? And of those 32, the prettiest pearls in all of the clamshell folder, there were an infinite amount of slightly more misshapen pearls.

I was so fortunate to have some friends there to help me through the energy drink crashes, the mini melt downs (for the love of Thal, why won't the weather change?! Whyyyy!!!), and the reminders to please take a break and murder some monsters. Despite this, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I entered this competition as a total newbie, but I'm leaving as a slightly more polished newbie.

I've loved watching the way everyone's screenshots changed and evolved throughout this one. I'm looking forward to subsequent rounds and cycles!

PS:

Round 4 of the YouTube Fanvote is live!
With another very special note from Rongi regarding what the Fanvote is and how it's going to affect the upcoming video cycle.

It's like asking why are you putting much effort into this anyway? It's a prizeless competition. Everyone is motivated differently, we can say.

.. and yeah, cycle 4 should probably start after a while, I agree :P
