OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[NarikoStar]

Honest question, as I said im not trying to start anything, I just found this odd.

I find it a bit rude to ask for personal information~ but to humor you-
to be specific we're SO's, we know each other IRL and ENTM is usually a lunch conversation we carry out for fun This week we felt certain ones were really stand out, thus our votes reflect that being similar~ But if you really want to go out of your way multiple other rounds we've voted differently~ 5/7/6 I'm sure others we've voted differently and other's we've voted the same we both have various opinions but just happened that this round we liked the same top 3 (and honestly because we can only vote on three I don't find it that odd as there are multiple others who've voted the same who we don't even know @w@)

I followed your maid cafe and your personal chibi commission threads( man i wanted a cute chibi so bad XD) I always assumed your siggy was the two of you not the same person tbh. Just kinda throwing that out there.. mostly because I wanted to say how much I loved all those little arts you did!

haha well mine was there anyway i wonder if it was bellow 80% ;_;

Your shot was gorgeous! ( I also wanna kudos your Siggy. I freaking love that siggy, its sooo pretty )

@NarikoStar

I apologize again, as I stated I wasn't trying to start something, I just found it odd that the last 3 rounds were identical and with everything going on I myself wanted to have sound mind that this thing wasn't also being rigged, please know that I do not personally think anyone to be doing as such, and in know way want to appear as if im trying to single people out, it was just that I noticed 2 similar names with the last 3 rounds that were spot on same people voted for, I honestly cant think that wouldn't make any person raise an eyebrow at the very least.

also as stated above I figured it with the sig that you were 2 separate people, if I knew how to have done a pm instead I would have, trust me. I was more concerned/curious,

again apologies for thinking otherwise

[Minorinz]

Honestly, the change to how much crystal made me grumble. My first choice shot for this

Ditto here, I had a amaaziingg shot in ST I loved but knew was more like 60% crystal and deleted them x.x

haha well mine was there anyway i wonder if it was bellow 80% ;_;

[Tinsley]

Well, the question is.. what to be done about it?

replace the 80% stipulation on the first page? is it too late to do that?
just let it ride out? im low man on the totem pole anyway
disqualify models? i'll accept that fate too
restart the round with all proper screenies? eh.. throwing ideas outthere

i hate to see an honest mistake snowball into tainting this event to an unrecoverable point

anyway, it's my bday so im off to have some fun <3

OMG HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! *bakes you a cake!*



I dunno.. but it's these little changes that only really bring out the drama in here. Changing the rules for people who are upset while not doing it in previous rounds, Letting people stay safe due to drop outs then making it seem like someone cant drop out and save the one with less votes(though that one ended up panning out)

It's giving people saves and not other people. If your gonna run this thing and hand out little saves sometimes then tell other people that's the way the ball rolls it upsets people or makes other people wonder about the validity of the contest. fix by giving everyone a save of no one gets a save.. but def don't change rules half way through.

Imo though.. I think the best way is no elimination(a bday present? :3) this round no double elimination(were down to 6 after all..) and the last round have 3 people, it be a first second third thing. it makes the last round a little more exciting

I am a little sad that the only way to really fix this round is to forfeit this round because I really like this round and im dreading the next

[Kaiyoko]

Considering this is for fun and all anyone here wants is to see screenshots by the models, why not make the next round a double elimination?

The one change that would need to be made is that points wouldn't carry over from this round to the next to make it the most "fair" for everyone.

[PureEclipse]

Humans make mistakes, its the one constant I think we all can walk away from this with certain agreement.

That said, HAPPY BDAY Tinsley, for some awesome mind blowing cakes go here > https://www.facebook.com/Dinacimarustiart

Hi there,

I normally just keep to myself and just read, but I felt like I needed to say something. You guys are entitled to feel the way you do about all sorts of things, but I do think that maybe Rongi just has a lot on his plate right now and just maybe made a mistake? He started ENTM for fun and to create a cool contest to bring out the creativity in all the contestants. Some of the pictures has made me see more beauty in the FFXIV game as a whole! It is a cool idea and everyone has taken wonderful screenshots. Everyone makes mistakes and I'm sure it will be addressed, all I'm saying is maybe he should be cut some slack? This is a giant contest compared to the first one.

Of course, nobody has to acknowledge what I've said at all since I haven't spoken really at all in the thread. I'm just a fan and like the ENTM idea. ^^

Yepyep, he just got done with a bunch of exams and is probably enjoying some well-deserved... Archeage?
Forgot what he said what game he was playing~! I'm certainly not angry with him...
I totally see FFXIV's environments in a different and new way after being in ENTM.
Like the other day I was by Haukke Manor, didn't realize there were lights in the windows at night time. It was a pretty blue!
And I believe it was Fog weather, so it looked almost serene yet eerie at the same time x.x
And then I noticed those nasty round fruit things on the ground in Costa... x.x
All these environmental things I missed while in the rush to level up, I'm noticing a lot more now because of ENTM.


Happy Birthday, Tinsley!
