Curse

Noanoa · Jun 17, 2007, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Aww I really must get my 'creative juices' flowing, I was already ready to resign because my hands are like totally broken. I don't play much anymore except to get the assignments done (and play with character creation, shush), and I've been half-arsing them because playing for long periods of time makes my fingers & palms hurt like hell (think of massive carpal tunnel blablabla problems with added joint pains). I'm thankful for the mercy I must have been given and now I feel I must try to live up to everyone's expectations ^^;.

Congrats to Lokii, your shot was made of win \o/.

Sihaya Syme · Jun 17, 2007, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Aww, Szei, that sounds so painful

I hope your hands get better soon...

Riesz · Jun 18, 2007, 12:18 AM // 00:18

Congratulations Lokii! Your picture was well deserving of MoTW!

I'm sorry, Bierflesjes... I enjoyed your picture this week, as always.

Oh no Szei, I'm sorry to hear that... I hope your hands get to feeling better soon or there's something that can give relief from that pain.

Also, I have to agree with everyone's comments on my shot this week; I felt it was weak, safe and boring as well. I'm not sure what was with me, I ventured out several times on different days to try and think of new ideas, but couldn't settle on anything I loved.

This week's assignment looks like so much fun! I think it'll give so many opportunities for everyone to really shine and be creative.

Good luck all, this weeks assignment looks like it could yield some interesting results.

While our fantastic four is working hard on their assignment, the time is nearing for us to choose our fifth voter which will help determine who will be Tyria's Next Top Model for Cycle 2.

Alright fans, do you want your opinion to count? Well here's your chance!!! In the final vote to determine who will win it all, there are five votes just like the last cycle. For this cycle, three will come from the three judges, one will come from a special voter, and the fifth and final vote will belong to none other than the winner of this mini contest!

I only want someone who truly is a fan of TNTM to be a fifth vote, so the questions are aimed to those who really know the competition and been with it!

The first person to answer all 20 questions right will win the fifth vote for the final two, so get your thinking caps ready!!!

Any member of this forum may enter! That means you too contestants! Be warned though, you are going to vote for one of two contestants that make it to the bottom two! So there is a chance that one of your favorite contestants now, may not be in the final two when the time to vote comes! So keep an open mind of the contestants still in the running!

Alright, here are the questions, remember, first person to answer ALL 20 questions CORRECTLY, will be the winner and will get that individual vote!

Once you are done with the little quiz, please send all your answers in a private message to me!

Here are the questions!

Quote:

1. Apparently, some of our contestants don't quite know the rules, but do you? Name the four main rules that apply in every photoshoot assignment.

2. Name all twenty four contestants from Tyria's Next Top Model.

3. Name the fashion destinations from both Cycle 1 and Cycle 2.

4. Name the photoshoot assignment(s) that required our contestants to take with another Male* player character (not suggested, required).

5. Name the photoshoot assignment(s) that required our contestants to partner up with other contestants from the competition (not suggested, required).

6. In the Fashion Capitals Challenge in Cycle 1, who was the only contestant to take a picture in every fashion destination?

7. In the Rally The Gods photoshoot assignment, which god(s) we're used in the assignment by the contestants?

8. In the Who's The Boss photoshoot assignment, name the bosses that we're used by each contestant.

9. In the Once Upon A Time photoshoot assignment, name all the fairy tale characters that each female contestant had to portray.

10. Tyria's Next Top Mama photoshoot assignment was a tribute to what holiday?

11. In the Inpiration photoshoot assignment, which cycle 1 contestants we're chosen to act as a muse by the cycle 2 contestants?

12. What GW profession(s) has the most frequent contestants thus far?

13. What GW profession(s) has not been featured in TNTM as of yet?

14. Name the first person to drop from TNTM completely.

15. In which photoshoot assignment was there no elimination at all.

16. Which photoshoot assignment was dedicated to Anna Nicole Smith due to her passing?

17. What tv show does the concept of Tyria's Next Top Model derived from?

18. Name every contestant that has won at least one MOTW.

19. Who won the most MOTW wins so far in TNTM and how many wins was it?

20. Who was the winner of Tyria's Next Top Model Cycle 1?

In the likely event that no one wins (some are seemingly hard, but every answer can be found if you don't remember), then we MIGHT make the fan vote count as the fifth vote.

The identity of the winner of this mini contest will be announced when the final panel between the judges are posted! (the answer key will also be posted then as well so you can check)

I had fun writing up the questions, and had a laugh when I gave it to the other judges, so I hope you guys have just as fun doing it! lol

And don't worry, I will announce when we finally have a winner, not the name of course, just if we have confirmed a fifth voter (if someone does get every question right that is lol) and will void any other entries!

Good luck and have fun fans!!!

Noanoa · Jun 19, 2007, 02:28 PM // 14:28

Whoa that mini contest looks pretty awesome and funny

!

Being a silly foreigner/nerd person I actually had to google-fu Covergirl, because I just didn't understand half the assignment xD. I hope the pictures in the banner are just for show, we're not actually required to hand in such close-cropped shots?

LadyNilene · Jun 19, 2007, 07:25 PM // 19:25

Absolutely, the banner picture is just to show that the assignment is in some form related back to modeling, rather, ANTM, Covergirl is just an example of a popular beauty campaign, and since Covergirl is all about make up, the focus is on the face! There is no need for you guys to try to achieve a beauty shot, you guys are showing sunspears, not make up!

let me know if anyone else have any other questions!

Noanoa · Jun 19, 2007, 09:18 PM // 21:18

Thank you for the answer ^^, I was also wondering if the "recruitment campaign" should be lighthearted ("join the girl guides", sunspears kicking monster butt etc) or more serious or relating to the NF plotline ("aunt kormir wants you ~ to defend our homeland" etc). Sorry if I'm being a bit silly with my questions, I'd just like to make sure since I always seem to interpret the assignments a bit wrong.

Riesz · Jun 20, 2007, 02:16 AM // 02:16

I've decided to withdraw from the contest due to a family crisis and will be gone for at least a week. I just wanted to thank everyone for the comments, criticism and support throughout the contest! I'm honored to have been a part of TNTM and have loved every minute of it.

I'll be excited to see this week's and anything else I miss when I return, so good luck to everyone!

Best wishes to all and can't wait to see some fabulous pictures when I return!

Daenara · Jun 20, 2007, 03:01 AM // 03:01

Oh my goodness, Miss Melly, I hope everything is alright!

Good luck with everything, I'm sorry things had to go like this

Roguish Seraph · Jun 20, 2007, 03:15 AM // 03:15

Yeah its really sad to see you go :/ You were a tough competitor, but you should do what you gotta do. We all understand why, and we all hope the best for you.

LadyNilene · Jun 20, 2007, 03:27 AM // 03:27

Well I guess there's no need for me to reiterate what Miss Melly said, so my fantastic four just turned into the terrific three lol, best wishes to Melissa, but with her withdrawal comes some changes.

Firstly, because of this, Lokii Dia's MOTW prize is automatically switch to ectos, the three point bonus prizes are now out of the question at the final three standpoint, and is a definite unfair advantage.

Contestants, your chances of getting eliminated are now heightened, so put your best foot forward in this assignment, cause anything can happen, bombing this assignment will knock you off so fast, so take the time and really look at every aspect in your picture and ask yourself, what negative element can the judge bring into question?

In response to Szei's question, that's your call to make on how you want to do your assignment, just be mindful of your target audience and what the purpose is for the assignment, to encourage people to join the Sunspears.

Alright guys, I hope to see some great things come this Thursday!

Daenara · Jun 20, 2007, 04:24 AM // 04:24

So does this mean that this is the final submission?

Last cycle I remember there wasn't actually an assignment for the final 2, just looking at their overall portfolio.

not that I'm counting on getting into the top 2, but just curious

Roguish Seraph · Jun 20, 2007, 04:34 AM // 04:34

Yeah Arala has a point...I don't think this is the finall submission though. There could be one more epic one for the final two. Unless *gasp* there is no eliminations this round and we all go to the next round and duke it out.

Perynne · Jun 20, 2007, 05:54 AM // 05:54

I'm sad to see Miss Melly had to go, but I can understand a family crisis. Good luck with everything! I hope things go well for you. *hug*

Oooh, and now I'm just looking forward to seeing who the winner will be.

This is getting exciting!

Sihaya Syme · Jun 20, 2007, 10:02 AM // 10:02

Good luck Melly, I hope the family thing turns out okay!

Oogami · Jun 20, 2007, 12:18 PM // 12:18

:O what a surpise... ohh Well.. family crisises aren't much fun so i'll wish you best of luck to make it trough.

Killaya · Jun 20, 2007, 09:18 PM // 21:18

Oh dear

Shame, Miss Melly, let us know how things turn out.

Geishe · Jun 20, 2007, 09:55 PM // 21:55

oh no Miss melly! Good luck, and we will miss you.

however, its final 3 already. 2 monks and 1 ranger. I say monk will.

LadyNilene · Jun 20, 2007, 10:22 PM // 22:22

Someone will be eliminated after this round for certain, absolutely!

This is definitely not the last assignment, but since Melissa left, this is the second to last now, the last assignment for every cycle that i do will always be the "Finale", which is the in game interview and photoshoot with myself, so expect the finale photoshoot assignment next week, and probably, the winner announcement the week after.

And the mini quiz for the fifth vote to help determine who Tyria's Next Top Model is still up for grabs, so far, only one person got the whole quiz right, but that person is the only person who can't participate lol, everyone else is close, but are off by the tiniest little mistakes. I'll say this, the most frequently missed question is "Which GW Profession(s) has not been featured in TNTM as of yet", one of them is obvious and everyone just forgets the other. There are tons of little mistakes here and there like that, so everyone just look through your submission and try again! Your favorite contender could definitely use your support if they make it past this round!
