For submitting screenshots in Cycle 3 I think you should still give the full list of round themes/rules ahead of time. You don't need to require placeholder shots ahead of the date to be submitted, but it would give models some leeway in taking photos ahead of time if they had commitments one week that would prevent them from taking the shot. I think this is even more important for this cycle as the Holiday season is coming up and would potentially get in the way of models being able to get their shots taken on a week to week basis. Models that have commitments for a particular week would be able to plan ahead of time and still be able to turn in a shot.

I think another good reason to not work on a week to week basis is when you have shoots like the "Stormy make over" one, you'll run into issues where the weather in game may not be cooperating for the week. Say a model needs or desires a particular weather effect for their shoot, but only has a limited amount of time that week to take the shot. It comes down to RNG of the weather spawning when they are able to make it online. In the end they may not meet the weather requirements or desired effect for a particular shot because of only knowing a week ahead to plan and take the shot. That could lead to models feeling rushed and result in weaker photos.

I know you're trying to prevent mass photo swapping, but just don't allow models to send photos for a round ahead of time. If they send it before the turn in window dates just don't accept the photo.

Be my guest, glad you like it. ^-^
P.S Your last shot is amazing for the lulz. :3

Also, not sure how the YT version would work, I kind of don't get it x:

I love this one! & yes I agree with you there, I am slightly confused about the YT one.

[EorzeasNTM]

Wow, Kaelah and Yuni had the exact same idea for their shots didn't they? Lol!

Kaelah, i love the petals and ability in your shot!
Yuni, yours looks like a blackhole is opening up! Haha i love it!

Anyone else super excited for Saturday?! New meat coming in! I expect all the veteran models to haze them. LOL Jk

You'll see the details then for the YT edition! ^^

Nariko, i can't remember if you were on the C3 Panel or the YT Panel! I'm under the impression one of the other judges in the girl's panel is going to quit, so i've requested Tyriont fill the space with you (since i think thats the panel you were on!) In the event a judge doesn't leave, I am sorry the switcheroo cost you the judge position for Cycle 3. I still have a spot open for the YT Edition if you are interested in that! (I think?)

After the casting goes up and details for YT are up, i'll post in here for judges once more. I know its tyriont kurri and i but who else was it? :O

The judges for YT (i'm going between 5 and 7) will be required to chat about eliminations in a group message, so we can either do a group chat on skype (the messages are persistant right? Tyriont can log on at 4am and see all the mesages we made through out the day right?) or we can all use a messaging app if we all have smart phones. I use LINE. we will be discussing the photos and choosing who to eliminate, so its really inportant we have a way to conversate. ^^

[NarikoStar]

I was YT~ which email would you like me to forward contact info too?

[Tyriont]

Rongi, Kyri/Ciara/Mackayla (pick the name, she uses them all ) was also on the YT panel.

[Kyri]

but its okay if we have a large amount of people on it, id rather not take 2 panels when there's people trying to get in. Whatever is fine for me^^

[Minorinz]

Thank you Ciara, Kaelah and Rongi for your feedback!
I hope lotsa people participate for cycle 3 : D !
I'll wait for an explanation for the YT contest thing, sounds like it's gonna be fun to watch~

[EorzeasNTM]

Okay whew!! I was so worried about Nariko xD

And i THOUGHT it was you Ciara!!! XD sorry. Ive been at school so searching the pages is a chore.

I'll probably add two more seats...but still thinking about it. 7 judges might be harder to coordinate but more opinions means more opinions and a fairer decision of who gets eliminated. But i will have to work harder editting critiques down/leaving some out so first few round of videos are not 30 minutes long haha. If two judges say the same thing i'll just choose one to put in the vid, etc and give everyone equal airtime.

Kaelah that is probably one of if not the best picture youve shown! You've grown from a lucky lil kitten into a super model swan! (I failed biology)
The effects compliment each other and dont overwhelm the shot. It's just perfect and ill be using it as an example shot for my cycle's final free style round. Take notes incoming models! That is a great shot!
