It's unfair for EVERYONE this round.
I cannot speak for Tinsley, but I submitted my Round 10 pic before Round 1 even started.
Yes, it was in that wave of photos required of us to be sent out before the contest started to have something for every round, placeholder or not!
I felt I got lucky with my Crystal picture, it'd look pretty good to me, so I never felt the need to replace it.
I never heard it was unsatisfactory or didn't fulfill the 80% rule (even it was a placeholder, it still had to follow the rules),
so I was thinking, "Hey, I got Round 10 out of the way! Nice!"
Never looked back at it.

It's unfair Tinsley and I had our shots accepted.
It's unfair that rules changed, because people could have taken possibly better pictures with <80% crystal.

And if there was any favoritism going on, I would have gotten that extension on the Chocobo Round, right??
I couldn't even log on to take shots due to being one of the unlucky people to have the 2.38 connection issues.
I still somehow made it through with a placeholder.

I voiced my opinion on the rule change this round, that's it.
