Perfect World International Fall Beauty Contest 2010

How you can participate:

- Must have a character in PWI
- It can be a guy or girl!


However............:

- Edit: fine you CAN be a barb *sigh*
- If you have a **** in your screenshot....
Please don't post it, I don't want you to get banned.


Rules (doesn't everyone love them):

1.) No fashion. Its a beauty contest people. However wigs are okay.

2.) You are only allowed to post 2 different characters. Sorry if you wanted 3, but I don't want to go through pages and pages of characters from the same people.

3.) All entries must be submitted by September 15th, 2010.

4.) There will be disqualifications if you do not follow these simple rules.

5.) have fun!


Instructions:

1.) You must provide:
- 1 side screenshot (so your eyes look like either < or >)
- 1 face screenshot (get as close as possible without ruining the picture)
- 1 front screenshot (show off your body! but have it so you we can still see your character)
- 1 screenshot with UI features (though feel free to blur them out or whatever)

2.) Feel free to post a description of your character to help us understand it better!


How this contest is (and will) work:

1.) Judges will be myself, my younger sister, and 1-2 friends of mine
(Near the end of the contest I'll take a picture of the judging panel!)

2.) All characters will be rated from 1-10.
I will later show an example of the rating sheet so you can all get a feel of it.
Final rankings and ratings will be provided in a separate thread.

3.) The top 5 of each gender will be voted on by the community.

4.) All results will be posted during the week of the final voting.

5.) Relax and have fun! And don't worry, you're all beautiful


Rewards!~!!!!!!

So, rewards you ask?
I'll be editing the rewards from now until the end of the contest.
But there will definitely be awards.

If there are more than 7 characters posted for a class,
I will have little prizes for the top of each class.
However it will be over-all so only 1 guy or girl can win this.

There will be 2 top prizes for the over-all winners (1 guy and 1 girl)
Additionally, there will be prizes for over-all server winners
(However only the person with the most points will win this one)

So to sum that all up, there will be:

2 Grand Prizes - Your choice of any 2 items from Wigs, Tops/Shirts, Pants/Skirts/Trousers, Shoes, or Bracelet/Gloves, 10 Random Dyes

7 Server Prizes - 1 White/black pigment

8 Character Prizes - Your smiley of your choice!

Estimated price for me: 48 gold
(Do remember this may change later from suggestions.)

Tips and suggestions:

- This is a beauty contest. Originality will get extra points, but that does not mean you make a complete freak of yourself. You must retain beauty in your character.

- Try thinking of how you want to present your character. Have a relaxing looking character? Don't take screenshots at a volcano. Take it somewhere with a beautiful scenery.

- Resize the screenshots.... Please.... Or I will cry....

- Higher graphics are a plus, but as long as the screenshot is clear and shows your characters beauty, thats all that matters. Though I do like higher graphics *wink*

Good luck to all you beautiful/handsome people out there!

Still got questions?

Question #1:

Boogiepanda - Raging Tide wrote: »

If fashion isn't okay, can I use armour?

LA fem armour sucks though x.x

Answer for #1:
Yes, you may use armor in the screenshots as long as it is the starter armor.
What this means is taking off all your gear and weapons.


Question #2:

Altros - Sanctuary wrote: »

Okay...I'm slightly confused. The rules said no fashion (save wigs), but I'm seeing fashion in the UI shots. Does that mean we can use fash in the UI shots? Though I'd prolly just be using armor, but is better than undies.

Answer for #2:

BeingHope - Raging Tide wrote: »

Thanks for the question!

The reason that its fine if you have fashion in your IU is because it is not part of the judging.
Its like....
An ID card to prove that it is you.
Its just so you can't use someone else's character and claim its yours.

Thanks for the concern!
Hope this helps.

Any more questions or concerns, please post them or PM me here or in-game please!

About my character:
Well since the beginning,
I've always had this "blonde craze" and all my characters had blonde hair.
However since I went demon,
I decided to make-over and look like a demon, not a sage.
I based off parts of my character like myself in real ilfe,
But I decided to stay true to my original characters and go with light blue eyes.
My character is that one girl next door.
She's nice, helpful, and has chocolate-y hair you just want to eat up!

Anyways, feel free to write something cheesy here.
The more it touches our hearts, the more points you may get *wink*

BeingHope - Raging Tide

Thanks guys so much for the support!
b:cry

Well... sadly guess what happened? xD

I was stupid enough to make copies of the sheet for everyone...
And we wrote down all the points.
Then after, you get the idea.
COFFEE!
*facepalm*

So anyways, we're restarting.
However, we did it so we could all do it anytime we want!
So we can do it in school, work, etc.

Here is a spreadsheet that will soon have everyones name on it and link.
It will be be updated every time we start working on yours.

So...

Click here to see the Judges Votes spreadsheet :P

Also, before I get questions...

Here is how the voting will go.

Q & A: VOTING

Q.) How much points do we get?

A.) As you can see from the entries I'm working on now, everything is being voted by 10. Then everyone does a total of the points. Once everyone on the judging panel finishes, we will add up all the points, and then turn it into a percentage.


Q.) I see that some people have at the total points / 80 but some have / 70. Thats not fair!

A.) Errrr.... We're turning it into a percentage you know. The / 80 are people who also added in a description. We thought it'd be too much to make it part of the / 70 so we made it a category for it self.


Q.) Why are you the only one editing right now?

A.) We just restarted as I've stated before. Everyone else will soon be putting in their totals again.


Q.) QQ this, QQ that, you're taking too long! I see the judging votes list and I clicked on some links and they weren't even filled!

A.) I'm working on it. Please be patient, I'm not a piece of machinery that does everything like *snaps* that. Once I get everyones thing onto the list, things should run pretty smoothly from there.


Q.) I checked my spreadsheet and there was nothing there.

A.) Same as I wrote above, we're working on it. Please wait


Q.) I saw you wrote something about my character and I feel offended.

A.) I've gotten a few PMs already.... Please don't be offended, I don't mean any harm. All your characters are special and unique, its just in my opinion what I think of your character. Its like acting. You may look like an idiot with the role your playing, but its how you feel that matters in the end.

BeingHope - Raging Tide wrote: »

The sheet is now fully done with names and links.
That does not mean we have scored your character yet.

Please check in the next 2-4 days to see if you are on the list or not.
If you do NOT see yourself on the list, ask yourself the following questions before you post:

What to do if you are not on the list:
1.) Check your entry.
Do you see fashion on your character?
Do you have armor besides the basic armor?
If so, you are disqualified.

2.) If you honestly cannot find yourself on the list,
then please post here with your entry.

Any more questions and I'll add it to the Q & A section!

Thank you guys for the continuous support

IGN: Llux

She was completely based on a character of mine outside
of the digital gaming world; tall, thin, unhealthy/unnatural
white hair and yellow eyes. Now she's gone through a few
makeover scrolls that show a sort of developement toward
her becoming healthy. Eyes green, hair a dark brown,
and a little less aenorexic. Haha~

Description: Once she had a gentle, innocent, almost empty face.
Now Llux has grown and sports a confident build and expression,
albeit a bit smirky due to a recent decission involving the Demon path.
Llux has been known to be a bit unintentionally cold and clueless
to the basic feelings of others. However, she is never
intentionally hurtful or harsh. Her childhood was challenging
with an inattentive father and a crazy apothecary mother
who enjoyed testing her new concoctions. (Many times on Llux herself).
Thus her faded hair, very skinny limbs, and yellow stained eyes
when I first made her.

Recently she's grown into adulthood, distanced herself from home and
took on the roll of Blademaster. Through this 'profession' she wishes
to strengthen herself and live through life with a new purpose.
To her surprise Llux favored the heaviest of Axes and is becoming
quite the fierce and confident fighter. Recently she took a leap of
faith in a most unexpected way to those who knew her,
choosing the demon cultivation.

IGN: Daphe


At first I made Daphe out of
curiosity for the archer class, and to be my "green" character. Yes.
I wanted a character that was green. For a while I was quite content
with how she came out but soon I became more serious with her/made
her one of my mains. So, after much tinkering around I bought a
makeover scroll and made her elegant (and opposite complexion of Llux).
I always have her wearing the lovebird hair now as well, it fits her better.

Description:
A serene, collected face of an elf. Daphe grew up amongst the trees and
lived the life of every other winged elf. The tales of untamed
and elf lovers, the careless nature of humans, and the coming strife that
was upon the entire world rang constantly in her ears. Wraith were returning.
So, all her life Daphe was condition for the fight.
Also, since her magic talent was average in comparison to some,
it was her final decision to become an archer. Proud and confident,
the elf went into training but emerged humble yet very skilled.
The female winged elf was ready for Archosaur
and the others she would join to fight.

Daphe seems like a very logical elf and controlled emotionally to others
at the first few meetings. However, as she gets to know people her passion
for the world and experiencing life, friends, and battle can be seen
clear as day. Though you won't see her prancing around or blowing
up around the West District like some hyper venomancer or hot-headed
human blademaster.
Certainly not.

Graviora - Dreamweaver

Graviora was born to a cleric mother and an archer father - a common sight in the elven lands. She was raised in the art of healing, since her twin brother would be learning archery. After her twin brother died protecting her from a wolf, she blamed herself and vowed to focus more on her healing. She stole all her mother's books on clericing and ran off to Etherblade. She met Imprisoned there, a man she would easily fall in love with. They both traveled the world together, helping in the fight against the wraiths. When it came to be her time to choose between the heavens or the depths, she chose the path of the demon; she was still bitter about her brother dying.

You cannot use fashion.
However if you want to,
use the default gear.
But you may not use any gear.
Look at Esnemyl's submittion and see what I mean.
Hers is *thumbs up*

I was wondering about that too. Although since it's just a screenshot that proves that character is yours (User Information), I think it's fine since I don't think that's going to be a part of the judging.
