omg, we didn't even think about that, Elonian and Canthan do have a slight disadvantage. Ok, what will happen now is the list is now going to change I want everyone to take note of it...

Bone Palace - Ancient Armor/Primeval Armor

Kodash Bazaar - Vabbian Armor

Kamadan - Istani Armor/Sunspear Armor/Elonian Armor/Imperial Armor

House Zu Heltzer - Kurzick Armor

Cavalon - Luxon Armor

Kaining Center - Seitung Armor/Canthan Armor

Lions Arch - Ascalon Armor/Krytan Armor/Tyrian Armor/Shing Jae Armor

Droknars Forge - Core Profession Armor/Exotic Armor

Temple Of Ages/Zin Ku Corridor/Chantry Of Secrets - Fissure Of Woe armor.

We don't have NF characters this cycle, so I wont touch on that, but please take note of the changes everyone!

So if you cant get the armor at a location, but can still take a picture there should we? Or not bother if we cant get the armor there?

If you do not have the correct armor for that location using the updated list, then no, dont waste time with a picture.

Thank you for pointing that out Jaden!

The person that accumulates the highest score will win MOTW, and the person who gets the lowest, will be eliminated, simple as that.

If there is any confusion about this assignment, please get in touch with me ASAP.

Good luck and have fun!

Hmm. Not that I'm in the competition (would be if I had remembered to check before the closing entries. ah well, I'll get in next round.

), I've been practicing a bit for shots that have been asked for in the latest. So far I think I've done fine with what has come up in the competition.

Here I have a shot of my ranger of one of the locations, and I like it a lot, but I'm not quite sure if its exactly what your really looking for.

(yes I know I don't have all my FoW armor on

)

and in thumbnail in case the above is to big.

Unlucky Slayer · Jan 15, 2007, 03:27 AM // 03:27

No Rit armor that isnt outragously expensive and really far into NF. *cries in the corner*

GWpenguin · Jan 15, 2007, 03:32 AM // 03:32

Wow, not sure if I understand this challenge. For people who only have prophecies, the most they could get is 4 points!?!?!? Can this be cleared up cause this challenge seems real confusing.

xxSilhouette · Jan 15, 2007, 03:47 AM // 03:47

wow!!! just got back to my dorm room, and WOW!!!! this sounds so fun

Sad thing is My assasin doesn't have a lot of armor, I doubt i could get her to bone palace or kodash in time (since school starts tuesday

), But i may be able to pick up some type of luxon armor

Well. this does sound quite challenging, But very fun. It will be awesome to put thought into the armor as it if were fashion instead

Im looking forward to this!

Now i must hurry off and finish cleaning up my mess of a room and get to work

Geishe · Jan 15, 2007, 04:07 AM // 04:07

wait, for this, may i use the helms? Because they can be high fashion indicators and as long as i can explain it is that alright??

(Just like at Alexander Mcqueen, FAVOURITE designer lots of funky headgear.)

Stalker Haras · Jan 15, 2007, 04:30 AM // 04:30

Oh, I vote for her. She is HOT!!!!

You've always thought my Ranger was hot Craig.

LadyNilene · Jan 15, 2007, 06:46 AM // 06:46

lol, ok, I think I'm ready to come back after that stressful mess, I think I mixed a few people's email/PM status, so if I did, I apologize for spamming you guys!

Moving on, lets see...

Are you, Stalker Haras, asking me about what I think about your picture? lol if so, let me see if I can give a little critique...I think your picture is nice, but, as far as modeling, goes, it doesn't work for me. In terms of the fashion industry, models are models. Face is their canvas, and it looks like your face is being shadowed. Moreover, Models have beautiful bodies because its what book them jobs for modeling clothes, and the leaf/branch thingies are kinda covering your body of work. The pose is a little safe for me, it might work if youre advertising jewelry, like rings on your fingers, but otherwise, its safe and rather ordinary. On the plus side...I'm looking right at your neck, its looks very long and sophisticated, I know that sounds weird, but something that models have are long necks. Models are generally tall, and when youre shooting pictures from waist up, or a beauty shot which is a tight frame that focuses on the face, the lenght of the neck emphasizes the tall stature of a model. That's something everyone in general might want to look for, you can always tell if its a celebrity or a model on a cover of a magazine by looking at the length of the neck. Not always of course, but anyways yeah, its not the best picture, but its not bad, like I said, its rather safe, and you have alot of outside forces that work against you as well. Move out or front of the bush thing, and get out of the shade. And it could be better. lol, but anyways, before I get carried away...if you think that was long, you should see how long it takes for THREE people to discuss ONE person and with the three responded to each other back and fourth lol...its insane lol and yes, it is silly to expect all of this in a game, but I really enjoy it, its been fun for all of us on panel, and i hope we do manage to find enough talented newcomers that would be interested in doing this process with us again! And for the record, we aren't complete b******, we really arent as hard as we seem, like I said, what I post on the evaluation post, is COMPLETELY, 100% edited to the max, we do it for suspense, which I think works, because alot of people have expressed to me how exciting it gets to find out who stays and who goes. So I'm very happy, well we're, very happy that competition has gotten some attention!!!

Anyways, before I end up ranting again, lets see what else needs my attention...

Yeah I know, trust me, I know, from the response I've been getting about Week 6's assignment, it is downright confusing. But I think everyone is a tad bit clearer on the situation at hand. And no, you can still look at the armor from different campaigns on GuildWiki and write about it for me.

lol, for some reason, the first thing that popped into my mind was Vincent from Project Runway season 3, where he used a fruit basket as a hat and added some beading to it, which oddly enough, kinda reminded me of a ritualist head gear lol, ranting again lol, but anyways, yes, you may use headgear, that goes for everyone, for this round.

Alright guys, thanks for everyone's comments and suggestions, and if there is anything else anyone wants to know or ask or say, feel free to get at me!

hm... this seems like fun BUT!

its also kinda unfair. the 1 point for picture (if you have right armor on +picture quality) and 1 point for answer. if im ritcher then other contestants and have every set of ele armor that exists, i can take a picture in each location, and if i answer correctly, i get more points then a contestant who is poorer so she has only 1 set yet answered all the questions correctly as well.

something doesnt seem right.

technicly, to a poor person there will be only 3 pictures availble to take (noob cantha armor, noob Elona armor, + current set used). even if thta person answeres ALL the question with perfection they still have a disadvantage towards the ritch person who has all those other armors.

there is a total of 9 locations. so perfect contestant will have a max of 18 points. now if someone has only 1 armor set, that person will have no way to reach more then 12 points.

i think that something doesnt work here....

remember that in the competition, the models didnt have to buy the clothes the designers were making them try. the "score" never depended on the models budget

this is the impression that i got, plz correct me if i didnt get the assigment right...

You hit my biggest gripe with this assignment on the head. I was lucky to have the extra cash and materials lying around to get all but FoW, Vabbi, and Ancient. (A lot of materials donated from former alliancemates.)

I agree that something doesn't seem quite right here. I entered the contest simply because it seemed like everyone could enter and you didn't need to have all the most expensive armor in the game to be able to compete.
Now in this assignment, the people who do have all the armor have a better chance of getting higher points. Luckily I've been collecting armor along the way so I think I have a good chance of not being eliminated at least, but there's no way I can even get close to full points.
And the sad thing is, this has nothing to do with how my character looks anymore, but everything to do with money and wether you've played the games enough to get to the armor sellers.

Otherwise this assignment sounds like tons of fun and I'll finally be able to show off all of my armor nearly the same time. Also, coming up with comments for each city's unique armor style is also very interesting.

Still, I wish this assignment wasn't so tied up with how rich your character is.

Maybe have the models pick just two or three cities out of the list that they write about and model their armor, rather than having to do all of the cities for max points?

Jaden Stone · Jan 15, 2007, 11:27 AM // 11:27

I think all in all the judges will make the right decision of whom to eliminate. I know it stated that the person with the lowest score will be eliminated, but im sure if someone scored a 12 and submitted 4 pictures, and another scored a 14 and submitted all 9, then ther preson with 12 would be most likely be here to stay.

Hmm the way I was reading it sounded like i had to comment on the cities design, not the armors design?

Quote:

Q. What sets this city apart from other designs from other cities?

? Can a judge confirm what we are suppose to answer? What makes the armor design unique... or what makes the city design unique? Would make much more sense with armor design I know, but just need that conformation.

Katina · Jan 15, 2007, 01:42 PM // 13:42

Well thank god I have 3 characters filled with Katina's mesmer armor...

Edit: Working on the Cavalon shot, finally found one after about an hour >< like 500 more to go!

I thought I'd share these with you guys, get your dollar bills ready, introducing the FIESTY KATINA!

Ride that pole!

I could only IMAGINE what the judges would say. "Playboy is that way!".
