Hair contest: petitioning

[DoctorSecksy]

Thank you to those who have expressed your opinion politely, regardless if you agree with me or not.

No, I'm not upset I didn't make the cut. There are many other styles that people might find more desirable. I feel, though, that the finals are not more desirable. I could repeat myself until I'm blue in the face, but I'll say it again. A lot of the finals broke the rules and still made it, a lot of the styles are too similar to preexisting styles in game or in contest, and I feel the voting process has been skewed. Mami really hit it on the head.

And about being able to digitally render the style in game: im sure this was a factor, however, it seemed that as long as you stuck to the base guidelines, you were fine. A lot of the styles I'm seeing in threads seem a lot more realistic and manageable from an implementation aspect, but I have no skills or knowledge on this, so it's all speculation anyways.

If you guys saw the other entries, you'd understand.

IMO I don't really want another contest like this because the way they handled it made it not fun at all. Seriously, it seems like they just picked the first 25 entries off the pile and posted them. 2 or 3 entries that are almost identical to each other per category, multiple entries that are obviously against the rules. 2 entries (that I know of) that were already disqualified for cheating once the voting began... It's a mess.

Someone started a thread with the styles they posted. A lot of the styles being posted put all of the ones in the finalist bracket to shame

I am kicking myself, if I could just do an already existing hairstyle of a final fantasy character to get into the finals, like that Quistis copy, then I would have totally done a female Caius Ballad hairstyle!!
Instead I tried to make an original hairstyle, tsk tsk.

Also.... It's been scientifically proven that people will be more likely choose the option at the top of lists, and that options in the middle of the list will be chosen the least, regardless of what the options actually are. >.>

This is an opinion and the fundamental problem with this thread. Almost certainly your favorate style will be one that others either don't care about or don't like at all. That the thing with this. Its driven by opinions.

While you might not like any of the hair styles that doesn't mean that they are bad choices. This whole thing is increadably subjective. Frankly there was only one style I liked and its pretty clear at this point it's not going to win.

Because a contest full of the same side pony tail and bun styles are are almost exactly alike, one past FF hairstyle and plagarized recolored style from an advertisment, totally invalidates this thread and should be stifled just because its an "opinion" not a blatant fact.

Hey guys, according to this person, we are stupid and the contest is being totally run properly.

My point was just because you don't like them doesn't make this contest broken. We knew from the start the Devs would be picking out the finalists. As I said, I'm not a fan of the selection but that doesn't make it invalid. At most you can claim that perhaps some of them breach rules. Even then its likely that if these are the ones they looked at that the ones they would pick to replace it will have similar styles.

Your argument seems to be that you don't like what the options are so therefore the contest isn't being run properly.

hmm.... so the winning male style.... Actually looks like a better rendered version of this.... Anyone want to be Rundelhous Code? XD

If you go in a red wine (whine previously !) contest, and half the crowd spit the finalist bottles, it means the contest is broken.
