OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Kyri]

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?
disqualify models?
restart the round with all proper screenies?

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

I am a little sad that the only way to really fix this round is to forfeit this round because of one person getting upset and a bad call on Ronjis part trying to cheer them up... I really like this round and im dreading the next

Upset? I was confused why my picture was accepted at all if it didn't meet the requirements...
Nobody knows why he made that call.
He asked us what should be done about it and I voiced my opinion.
And I already said I would leave or be eliminated if I had to be because of the change. :S
What's upsetting is the finger pointing and the not-so-sly remarks flying around (not just toward me).

What's upsetting is the finger pointing and the not-so-sly remarks flying around (not just toward me).

Perhaps I was a bit harsh when I wrote that and im sorry. But I would say that you were upset and it was enough to have the rules changed and make even more people upset. I won't lie, im a little upset.. I worked really hard on my pictures to make req and I don't always get the best criticism but I don't get defensive about it, I just kinda deal with it and work at making it better. I am also upset that due to the changing of the rules people who might have gotten votes will loose votes based on the new criteria. Im not trying to be mean, Ive loved you in almost every round. But I am being honest too and I do feel I have a right to be a little bit snarky when the rules were changed last minute to conform to other peoples shots that didn't really meet criteria. Even Tinsley said she knew her shot wasn't enough crystal but loved the shot and wanted to share it and hope for the best. Kurris shots are also quite risque and pay off for her (love them btw kurri) You guys took a risk, and it may play out or may not.. but things shouldn't have been changed for it. We are all here to share screenshots aren't we? That was my main goal. I got my chocobo shot in so if im eliminated now I go happily knowing I shared shots I loved, even if they weren't always the best shot I had for the round. Anyways that's my two cents and im done with this.
