All posts are subject to the rules of the Guild Wars Guru forum guidlines.
Swearing in images are not allowed, make sure to censor them. The whole word must be censored, not just part of it.

General Chatting within Threads - NOT ALLOWED!:

This thread is not a chat room! Don't use it as such. This also falls under spamming! (See below)
Please don't use the thread as a kind of chat-room. If you wish to discuss random stuff then please use forum PMs, e-mail or chat in-game if you like. Not in the thread.
Chat room talk / spam will be deleted.

Replying to Posts + Spamming:

The GWG forum rules on spamming are very clear:

Quote:

5. No Spamming

Post count - no matter how impressive a high number might look - is irrelevant here. Therefore, please do not spam these forums, or such posts will be deleted. To determine whether or not your post can be considered as spam, ask, "does this add to or advance the thread in a constructive way." If you answer, "yes," then chances are, you're good to go. Examples of spam posts include: “Yeah me too," "lol”, “that’s what I wanted to say…,” “what the guy above said…”, etc.

Please keep all replies tasteful. Swearing, flaming, crude comments, pointless comments will not be tolerated!

+1 post count spam is not encouraged! Mods actively found themselves deleting this kind of spam from a number of the Screenshot threads. The "Post your Character" threads in particular. The following clearly explains the differences between a comment/chat and a spam/+1 post:

Quote:

Posts that are impolite, crude, offensive, or otherwise failing to reflect on the thread or forum in a positive manner will be deleted as spam.

Furthermore posts that fail to contribute to discussion in a meaningful way or are intended to draw attention away from the original subject will also be deleted as spam!

Don't post just for the sake of adding +1 to your post count. Post counts aren't important on this forum.

KEEP ON TOPIC! If its a weapon thread, don't discuss armour. If it's a armor thread don't discuss farming, titles, chest running or weapons!

We don't encourage people to pointless go about posting meaningless psychobabble for sake of just increasing their post count. Your spam will be deleted and noted, so don't do it!

Quote:

We reserve the right to edit posts for format, content, or clarity, without notice. However, we will not intentionally change the substance of what anyone says, and will inform you if we make any substantial changes. Posting meaningless deranged psychobabble with no substantial merit or posts that do not contribute to the thread discussion will more than likely be deleted without notice.

Any post which violates civilized standards of decency or good conduct will be deleted immediately and without any further notice. Repeat offenders will be temporarily or permanently banned.

Screenshot Requests within Threads:

Please don't request screenshots. We have a whole sub-forum for that here:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/f...play.php?f=245

Please discuss the thread topic, but requests for screenshot should be made in the forum above.

Reporting Spam and other Rule Breaking:

If you see a rule-breaker, don't hesitate to use the report feature

located at the bottom left of each post.

Closing Large Threads:

Like what is done in Off-topic, we plan to close one by one the large Post Your ____ threads and recreate them from scratch after 1k posts.

Older threads will be added to a archive list on the forum sticky of course and the new threads would replace them in the main list of threads.

The twelve new finalists of Tyria's Next Top Model are...

Arala Starsong (Mo) - "I found it a little turnoffish that some of the other contestants would bitch about any criticsm."

Beyoncee Knowlez (Me) - "She was a little hot and cold, but when she was on point - she always had the best pictures."

Bierflesjes Klauw (N) - "After watching it, it's grown on me and seems fun so I thought I'd give it a shot"

Geisha Nugra (A) - "My morale is boosted and I am ready to conquer anything in my path."

Lokii Dia (Mo) - "Not only that, she had a personality that no one could ever over look. That’s what all contestants should have, telling everyone, "Hey, I'm here!" That's what made her more memorable."

Lunamaria Cruz (E) - "I could win it! ...I definately plan too though."

Mila Fox (D) - "I thought her progress throughout the cycle was clearly visible."

Miss Melly (Me) - "Some of my favorite things about GW are the outfits and gorgeous scenery, and when those two are put together to make a beautiful photo.. well, all the better!"

Mojave Mango Juice (E) - "When they ended up being the final six, I really couldn’t choose...I just ended up cheering for them all."

Sarah Eleanore (R) - "I do not know whether I will win cycle 2 or not, the first cycle had amazing contestants and who knows who'll apply for the second cycle!"

Sihaya Syme (N) - "Beauty is so much more than skin deep… I want to show people that Necromancers, while often regarded as the ugliest class in game, posses a unique kind of beauty."

Szei Ren (R) - "I have an artist's eye, and I have studied and worked in the fashion and art industry, so I'm naturally able to come up with interesting shots for everyone's viewing pleasure."

We have a great mix of unique individuals who we are all confident in! We believe these twelve will definitely turn up the volume and match Tyria's Next Top Model Cycle 1 contestants, and we know they will do some great work!

Again, thank you everyone for applying, it was truly hard for us to narrow the number down to twelve! For everyone who did not make the twelve, don't feel discouraged, we saw many promising applicants, so I hope to see you all again for Cycle 3 somewhere down the line! Since the Virginia Tech incident took place earlier this week, scheduling did not allow for us to contact everyone about there applications, so at this time you may personally request your application/interview results!

Congratulations to our lucky twelve! Strike a pose, cause your journey to becoming Tyria's Next Top Model begins tomorrow!

As I stated, due to the Virginia Tech Incident (a very tragic shooting at a university in the States) earlier this week, we really lost alot of time, one of our judges has family there, and was effected by this horrible act. We had to focus our time on completing the interviews, and we decided to dismiss the rejection letters. We felt it would've been redundant anyways since once we reveal the twelve, that pretty much states who's in and who's out. We do encourage everyone who is interested in how they faired to contact us through [email protected] or send me a PM with your applied character's name.

You guys can wait...I'm sure they will post up their own pictures anyhow, two of them already did lol

I think that's a little TOO much lol, trust me, some of the applications were novels lol, good novels! but novels nontheless lol

Storm Crow · Apr 22, 2007, 02:35 AM // 02:35

Good luck to everyone! I can't wait for this to get started!

Then there are my three application pictures:

And Geisha just wants to put out the small fires (especially the one on her pony tail!) and hopes that everyone has a great time during the competition. Good Luck Girls!

Noanoa · Apr 22, 2007, 09:02 AM // 09:02

I'm so excited <3, here are my application shots:

My internet has been really clogged this entire weekend, it took me 2 hours to load this page and 2 more to upload the images and post, honest. Can't play at all or anything, I so hope this problem goes away so I can actually take part in the competition ;_;.
