Signups for EM's NTP: Cycle 2

deleteddeletedalmost 10 years ago

Hello! I’m here to announce signups for EM’s Next Top Profile: Cycle 2!

If you’re unfamiliar with the first Cycle here’s the link to the game thread: https://epicmafia.com/topic/79534

This Cycle’s Theme:

This Cycle not only will the contestants be competing but the judges will as well, because each judge will pick their own team from the applicants to “coach”. Whichever judge has the winner on their team will also win.

How it works:

Here is the link to the full details and explanations: http://tinyurl.com/jsgce3v

We learned a lot from Cycle 1 and have decided to make some changes in the way profiles will be scored. During this Cycle, different items on your profile will hold a different weight.

Here is the scoring breakdown:

Avatar/Bio - 10% each

Song/Background - 15% each

Creativity/Overall - 25% each

In addition to these changes, due to this Cycle’s theme elimination will be different. The team with the lowest collective scores will be the bottom team and the coach of that team will then have to decide who to eliminate off their team. There will also be no social scores.

This also primarily takes place over skype and you MUST be willing to participate in a long term game.

General Rules:

You must have backgrounds unlocked on your profile to signup.

You must send in an application to be considered to play the game.

You must be willing to commit to a long term game that will primarily take place over Skype.

You must post a screenshot of your full completed profile to the forum thread before judging.

You must conduct yourself in a reasonably respectful manner towards the judges as well as your fellow contestants.

How to apply:

To apply please fill out the following form: http://tinyurl.com/gqmpmjp

We will be taking applications until 10/13

By signing up for this you understand that this competition is a long term process that communication for will primarily take place over skype.

As of right now, we are only taking applicants from those that did not compete in Cycle 1.

Winners:

1st 2nd and 3rd will receive Squad lobby trophies

Bragging rights as the 2nd Top Profile of EM.

40 Tokens

Judges:

We are not looking for any more judges at this time, but we will be having Guest Judges again!

I have a follow up question; with much emphasis going towards this "vote", isn't this undermining the importance of the competitors themselves and instead focusing on the judges.

Shouldn't this competition be focused towards the competitors and their efforts and not a popularity contest and ego building exercises for these judges.

Hi johnreid here from TMZ, just a few quick questions on the renewal of EM's NTP.

I just looked at last round, the competition was kinda weak and the profiles uninspiring.

I want to ask on behalf of the public what you guys are doing to ensure greater exposure for this competition and therefore a higher level of entries and competitors.

I believe if we are to subscribe to a second season of this show, we should be informed as to why it is worth our time .

Usually TV shows only get a renewal if they have good ratings prospects. Are we to expect a more professional level of competition this time around?
Most definitely johnreid from TMZ, we are looking for contestants from all ends of epicmafia, including, sandbox, main, and survivor lobby. We have judges with lots of technical skill as well as creative skill and we are introducing the element of coaching. I believe this will be a far stronger competition than Cycle 1. We learned a lot from Cycle 1 and plan to improve on it's weak points.
