OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Size]

I think the stress of elimination does add something good to the competition, it forces you to not slack and get out there. It's also what makes next top model, Next Top Model I feel. So I would not want to see that change.

The problem I think is the forum votes, which can be very subjective or even abusive (say if people just vote for their friends or get their friends and FC mates to vote for them) have too much weight compared to the judges's scores.

Instead of the judges scores adding a small bonus, the opposite can happen.

So judges can have a set criteria and vote strictly based on that. e.g. max 2 points for background 2 points for outfit pose, 3 for originality and 3 for overall artistic impression.

So everyone will get a base score out of 10 from the judges.

For the voters a system similar to the one presented where first place get a set amount of points and so on can be used as the popularity bonus. This could be scaled either 100% equal to the judges score, or less. i.e. top place gets 10 points, or top place could get only 5 points.

This way, scores are not totally skewed based solely on the number of people voting, because right now the judges votes can be simply noise in the background if a lot of people vote.
