Happy Birthday Tinsley

[YunieAura]

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).

i find it weird that some people sent in the screenies that fits the requirements as a priority instead of sending what might've been a lot better with less crystals in the b/g yet some others sent their best shots when its obvsly bellow the requirements cause they thought their shots were too good, much contradiction in regards to respecting the rules and being on the safe side, cool, it isnt just about rongi's decision/call but common logic here plays a part too ^^"

Edit: Thanks Ciara for complimenting my shot/siggy xoxo <3

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.

It was unfair for everyone.
I already expressed my thoughts on this pages back.
I'm sure it'll be addressed and clarified, and if I need to leave, so be it!
No more grumbling, people!

I love waking up to this stuff!

Everyone, you have 72 hours to resubmit your crystal shots with literally an unarguable 100% Crystal Backgroud. If there isn't 100% Crystal you will be disqualified. These shots are due by 11pm on Monday. (Going to Dallas on Sunday and wont be back til Monday.)

I didn't change the rules, I just removed the ~80% because all it was causing was "hey! Your pictures not ~80%!! Why did Rongi accept you?!" arguments between models, something I hate seeing.

If I felt they were ~80%, I took them. Rules didn't change, I just didn't want all the models to be judged on that ~80% since it's going to be different for everyone, as obvious by the fact my ~80% wasn't nearly as ~80% as everyone elses.

Anyone who brought up bias again can go fight titan for the rest of their lives. Seriously?

IN A RANDOM PARTY!

I am curious who you think I am bias against/for?

[Kyri]

Meh.. I don't want to take a new shot anymore..
The way this whole thing has been handled lately leaves so many questions.. (no not that kind of question)

To those who voted, <3 u you guys are great and I especially hold high kudos to you of those who gave advice, critisism and made this so fun!
Ronji, it was a great game im sorry all the shit seems to hit the fan for you. My advice to you would be to stay on your game plan, don't change things and keep being awesome. I know you love all your models but try not to let peoples opinions on these things upset you so much. I mean we as the models can't really let that affect us, you shouldn't either <3 Hopefully I see you on Archeage someday!

I was gonna drop out here.. but thats not fair to Ronji. He worked hard and this late in the game its rather childish for me to do. SO I guess *edits post* Whatever happens happens. Im not retaking my shot though. If that means im last place because people seen it and then took shots so be it.

Are you serious about the reshot? If I were still in I wouldn't want to... maybe other models will feel the same? If so you'll suddenly have many drop outs. It'd be a shame. Just leave this round as is IMO. Yeah it's been messy but hey-ho. I dunno why anyone would think it's a rigged contest, there are no prizes involved lol.

PS. Happy Birthday Tinsley!
