OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Tyriont]

Yep, yep. Both of them have low post count. Come to think of it, some of my LS mates mentioned the same thing about not wanting to vote because of low post count. I'll just have to persuade them somehow then. c:<

It's a tricky problem. We understand that naturally, people are going to want to convince their friends to come vote but we don't want the contest to turn from "who has the best screenshot" into "who can convince more of their friends to come vote for them", which is why we have the post count requirement in place. This is also why, as mentioned above, we hold the judge votes from being publicized until the end.

Yep. Nobody wants this to turn into a popularity contest over a talent contest. Doing that would cause a lot of the really good artists not to even join in and we'd all lose then. Personally, I'd make the minimum post count limit higher if it were up to me, but I have a tendency to be a real stickler sometimes.

The minimum requirement actually did go up last Cycle as needed. If it seems we need to increase it again this Cycle, the same will happen.

I mentioned it above. I understand why it's there, and I approve of it being there. Sadly, text doesn't convey my sarcasm on the last sentence there very well.
I'm gonna go work on the round 2 shot in the meantime~

It's all good Adam. I understand where you're coming from, and honestly I just think the judges don't want this contest to turn out something like American Idol is ( or was, idk even if that show is still on the air xD), while also not seeming like public vote matters. GL with your round 2 shots, I can't wait to see what everyone has done. Still working on perfecting mine!

I have a something in mind for the shot myself. I have all the clothes I need, but for the love of me I can't find a good place for the picture! D:

I got my outfit down, but I'm having the same problem of replicating a shot as well. Why yoshi do you not let us board all the small boats docked in towns/villages ><

I just wanna get behind some of those counters around the Limsa aetheryte towns. They all have an invisible wall blocking my entry.

Sometimes I wish all you other models were on my server so we could commiserate better. I've pulled out so many hairs over this next challenge. Retaken my shot several times now and each time something is off with the picture. For a few seconds I thought I had the perfect shot and then when I checked my screenshot folder, there was massive clipping that ruined it all. Every time I've gone to recreate that shot my character seems to make derp face and the angle is off. I didn't realize how much you guys in previous cycle worked at this stuff and now that I see it, my hats off to you all.

I really wish we could do a temporary join a server thing that WoW does, where you can join another person's server as long as you are in their party. It would be so awesome and allow us to play with each other without server transferring >< and taking screenies together.

Someone should setup a designated server for an ENTM FC and we all make alts there.
