[Fan Vid] Rigged? Conspiracy or coincident?

wait whaaaaat
the TOP 10 was choosen BEFORE the deadline?!?!
;3; all my hard werk

Edit: nevermind; just remember the time zone difference
still feel pretty biases; feel like the list was already selected 2 days prior. oh well ;3; bow downs to the rest of other people who put in the extra hard work.

Edit again: Just looked through the final contestant; casted my vote on my favorite person not video! person… this is not a model contest… this is a popularity contest !! xD

After watching the videos, I must say that 1 or two were a little bit creative, but they weren’t promoting the costumes at all. It rather seemed as if they were all natural outfits (except in the Orsha Soldier video where the dressing process was addressed) and as if the videos were promo-videos of the games social features like gestures, pets, PVP or likes instead.
Sorry, but I don’t think any of those videos should’ve made it into the last ten unless the “TOP Model event” was actually about being a “model player” instead of being a “fashion model”…

Maybe this is also the reason why it feels rigged for some people :smiley:

if that’s the case then how did this one get pick? if we are judging on ‘fashion model’

It has a strong concept but the costumes though.

too bad, if they had that sense of fashion
but I think the healcrafting video is a very nice concept, we should support him instead the autumn storm

I wasn’t chosen, which makes me wonder what I mayhap have done something wrong.

  • Too many cuts
  • Low quality due to budgetting
  • Not using a shemale character
  • Just not being lucky / IMC simply did not like it

On the bright side I have learnt briefly how to edit videos on video maker so it wasn’t a total loss, I’m not satisfied with that though, haha.

I wish good luck to the contestants and I hope that the voting stage won’t be biased, even though it will be pretty much so.

what concept of fashion does this video represent?
It’s more like a movie where the costume is part of the requisites. I mean in most movies, fashion is not shamelessly advertized (imagine “Mr. Anderson” in “The Matrix” making a catwalk to advertize the mantle he’s wearing)…

This is what I mean with my comment. What we get to see in the videos is characters in action, not putting any emphasis on the clothing they are wearing. I thought that people would actually state why they chose their outfits in the video, what makes the outfit special or unique in the world of TOS and what are the pros&cons of wearing them, depending on their classes/skills.

This is what I was expecting [by common sense] and what was completely absent from all videos. They didn’t feature the fashion at all; Instead, they showcased it together with skills, animations, movements, gestures, etc.
Only that Orsha Soldier video featured that it was actually something you have to equip to wear it (which is the most simple approach to the theme of the event but still an approach,unlike the other videos).

Anyone who doesn’t know TOS would never be able to identify that those videos all came in from this event if he/she was showcased this footage;
they’d never even guess that these videos were created to promote ingame fashion objects. They are (at least some and to a certain degree) promotional videos, but they certainly do not promote fashion in any way!

I check some videos and some of them are against the rules of the event in the case of the addon should not be visible, the character must have a costume (not the class one)
the top 10 videos have over 100 reproductions I think they use that as filter

it can be any costume, even class costumes. The rules mention that premium items are not mandatory.

my vid didnt get in…
well, nvm xD

Hue~

We forgot that this is a Korean MMO, where RNG matters. Each entry is tagged with a hidden entry_id then at the end of the day they just use a RNG script to get 10 random numbers.

Sounds plausible.

~ ends Hue

Edit, kind of wish they do some commentary on why they select each entry though. At least let us know why they are shortlisted.

I like his one though, more than the other entries.
What to do. :confused:

Lol, so many rule violations…

Videos that violate 4.[no addons when shooting the video] :

  • Pray the great Tree!! [uses Excrulon EXP viewer]
  • The Red Witch [uses Excrulon Regen Timer and some other addon that shows stats on the lower right side]
  • Daily Life of an Orsha Soldier [Excrulon EXP viewer again]
  • Servant Irish Step Dance [uses Excrulon Experience Card Calculator]

unsure violation of 4.:

  • Winter Style? [there’s a line which shows the map exploration rate above the map; I don’t know if it’s an addon but I think it is])

Videos that violate 5. [do not edit in any additional visual or sound effects]:

  • Servant Irish Step Dance [uses a fade-out screen effect at 00:13-00:15; and the cut sequences look suspiciously tweaked with a video program in contrast to e.g. “Chupacapra Schoolgirl” where you see clear cuts]
  • Chupacapra Schoolgirl [uses a fade out-animation at the end of the video (00:52 - 00:54)]
  • Daily Life of an Orsha Soldier [uses animations at 00:03-00:05, 00:17-00:18, 00:20-00:21, 00:34-00:35, 00:37-00:38, 00:52-00:53, 00:58-00:59 (all fade-out animations)]
  • Pray the great Tree!! [uses a clockwise fade over-effect at 00:15-00:18]

Videos that violate 6. [Make sure to have the name of your team always visible under your character throughout the video]

  • Story of a Savior [ team name not visible at 00:00-00:03, 00:22-00:28]

I’m really sad how I could overlook all those violations while watching the videos.

@STAFF_Max , @STAFF_John , @STAFF_Ines , @STAFF_Ethan , @STAFF_Amy : did you really check the video entries before making your choices? Some of the entries clearly violate the rules and still made it to the TOP 10?
Please recheck and make a new list with entries that do not violate the rules.

Aw boy, the button with P on it? Bet you’ve never been in a guild yet.
Well, at least now you know. :stuck_out_tongue:

Whoa, way to be an ass about vague rules.

This guy gets a spot on my douche list. kudos

thx for clarification, I edited my post regarding to this : D

The rules are not vague btw, they clearly state that no Addon shall be used [there is no exception so all Addons are forbidden] when making a video and that editing your video beyond cropping and cutting is prohibited.
This is [my guess] to prevent people who actually know how to use a video editing programm properly to gain advantage and obstruct the further useage of the clips as promotional videos for TOS.

It’s not my fault that the staff overlooked or simply ignored the fact that those videos were against their own rules. However, I think it’s unfair against the people who abided to the rules and didn’t get chosen for whatever reason if the people whose videos were chosen did not abide to the rules (some even to a certain degree of having multiple rule violations).

I’m just objective here (since I didn’t bother to participate anyway because of said restrictions) in the favor of at least the staff keeping their reputation level [not to add on more things that aren’t in favor of them] and the people who actually made the effort to create these videos.

In the end I just wanted to point these things out in more detail following the user who posted before me who actually made me+ other users aware of this. I bet some might be angry now if they realized that the process of choosing the top 10 was less a question of justice but more a preference thing.

For me it’s the other way around ;x

@Nicola Did you read the rules of the event? It says that it can not have addon, can only use 1 addon, etc. Have you looked at all the videos? Majority did not follow the rule and is participating. Nice.
Imc tried to sabotage one of the current competitors ([PERFECT 10] :heart: Autumn Storm :zap::cloud::zap:) saying that he had fled the rules but this was one of the only ones that was within the standards.

This event is a joke.
