The decision for the final twelve was hard to make. We had a lot of good applications submitted, in which we had to struggle to choose the top 12.

20 applications were sent in. Out of these 20, only the 12 that we felt would work hard for this competition, and give us what we are looking for. Although we did have problems with some. Where the questions where answered flawlessly, and the application shot wasn't as great, or vise versa.

So, here are our final 12 contestants, in no particular order.



And there they are, our final twelve!!! Congratulations to you all for making it through applications. From here on out, you will have to take every assignment serious. Show us you want to be, Tyrias Top Superstar!

  • Please don't use threads 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.
____________________________________________

As with the other contest threads, these rules will be lax in terms of the non picture posts, but please keep it civil.

Hehe grats to everyone who made it in, but in all honesty that's the easiest part of the competition. Making yourself stand out from the crowd and establishing yourself as a character (remembering that the theme of this competition is movies) will be key. Oh and don't forget to take sexah shots.

Love your new mes Lokii... Amergin may have won the competition but Jules is starting his own fashion label

I think a meet-up would be great fun. We should definitely try to organise one.
I'm from England, just to be awkward, but then, I'm also a student, so I keep strange hours anyway ;p

I'm from France (GMT +2 for the now), and as my vacations are finished soon (4 september) it would be better to meet in the week, otherwise our hours won't coincide, except maybe on week-ends.

Sali : Well, I didn't stressed when I saw the pictures... I wonder why...

Assignment #1: "Funny Bone"

Congratulations to all twelve competitors that have made it our casting call here at TTS Productions. You will soon find out that, you would be preferred to be watching from the sidelines. You will soon find how difficult this competition will soon turn into, trying to expression emotion of different genres of movies with such an emotionless character. But that is why we picked you, you twelve that we felt were the most talented and showed us through your headshots that you are up to the challenge.

Although, it is only natural that we have some doubts and are unsure of our choices so we are going to test you once again through an auditioning process. We are actually going to put you out on the field with our own profile and see with a little of push you can create for us.

The genre we are looking for in your shots is comedy. We need you to make us laugh, or giggle. Because if you want to make it to the top, we need to know that you have some humor deep down, to know you have what it takes and survive this long journey.

So we have for you a script, we have received from our most talented writers that we had to torture out of....I mean asked nicely for. We hoping you can take this wonderfully lovely script and portray it through a series of three pictures; Must show an introduction, a conflict, and then the punchline/conclusion to the scenario. Bare with us we have search high up into the Shiverpeaks down to the farthest reaches of Istani to search for the funniest writers we could find just for this competition, we have worked hard for you girls.

We have made sure to ask the writers just to make the script as vague as possible, to show how much your girls can think on your toes. Not only must you make a simple series of shots signifying the script and the funny, you must come up with what your character would be saying in each shot. It can be one simple sentence to something more detailed than that. We want to see how creative you can be.


Written by: writing Director Bob Spellchecker

Notes:
No location has been made as of yet.
Main female lead has no name, being put through process.
Considering adding another lead for female lead.
Female lead will be referred to as Female One till name is found.

Introduction Scene
Female One introduces or runs into another unknown character or animal. They express fondness, or aggravation amongst each other.

Conflict
Female One and Unknown character get into a conflict and express hatred or an obvious problem with one another.

Punchline/Conclusion
Female One some how has something wrong, disastrous or down right funny about Female One's downfall in the scene causing much embarrassment to this character.

First Draft

Each contestant must come up with three pictures/scenes of an introduction with another Character/Animal/NPC/Hero, the next is some kind of confliction/fight/interjection with each other and the the conclusion which must express a joke of some kind anything can happen here but must be funny.

*If you have a problem please seek the writing director if you have any problems with the script.*


Note: No snowmen were harmed in the making of the above photos.


This assignment is due Friday, August 31st, 11:59PM GMT - 5.

Hi all and grats to everyone! =]

It's time to start getting serious and I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys/girls produce.

I'd love meeting up with you all, it'd be so awesome. Unfortunately my adapter decided to die on me so I ordered a new one Sunday and it should be here by Wednesday. -crosses fingers- I won't be able to play Guild Wars until I get my new adapter but I'm not going to let that hamper me in any way, shape, or form. Still meeting up this weekend and maybe having a little fun with GW:EN or something sounds pretty cool.

Good luck! <3

Wow, already a challenging one to me . Good luck to the others on it! I have a question though...

Do we have to send all 3 images as 1 picture, with the characters captions in it as by example of your picture, stalker haras? Or do they have to be 3 separate pictures with the captions on the email? Or something?

Just send 3 different pictures in one e-mail. Within the e-mail include the caption for each picture.
