EM's Next Top Profile: Cycle 1

deletedover 8 years

Hello and Welcome to Cycle 1 of EM's Next Top Profile! This will be a mixture of a profile contest and a social game.

Here is the link to an explanation of the rules: http://tinyurl.com/jru6zqd

Guest Judge:

Since this is the final round we have asked not one user but two users to guest judge, Nathan and Himiko!

Best Profile 11:

Congrats to mean For being best profile this round!

The scores are listed here:

Eviction:

nicrowy was eliminated! even though cody failed to submit a profile on time, the jury vote saved him with a 4 cody 1 mindful 1 cozy vote. with one jury vote being nulled for not submitting on time. the vote from em went to mindful because cody had already been given the jury vote.

Elimination Challenge:

The Final challenge is a 2 parter. For the first, each of the top 3 were given a redemption theme that they didn't do well on from the course of the competition to do again. For the second part we gave them an open concept where they were allowed to do whatever they wanted.

You have until Thursday 10/13 at midnight to complete your profiles!

So, I'm not feeling too hot on the profiles this round, even though I'm part of the competition. I feel that a lot of people are making their profiles fitted to what the judges like instead of what they like. This of course might be a winning strategy but I believe that makes a lot of the profiles seem very similar. I see a lot of profiles right now and most of them incorporate old ideas used from others, just with a different coat of paint. I think that people are too focused on neat gifs or cool tricks instead of the actual themes being played with, and that in turn makes it seem like they don't have direction. This is a little bit of a fault with EM because you are quite limited.

I personally don't like using bios all too often and sometimes I fall into the same mentality I'm saying you shouldn't where I put a cool .gif in my bio just so the judges don't mark me down. That in turn is not necessarily what I want out of this, or what is fun to me. Funnily enough, Aug has made mostly meme profiles yet he's still managed to coast through three eliminations right barring the average, so if that goes to show that you don't need to tailor your ideas around what judges like then I don't know what is.

Because it shows up differently on different browsers and we all made ours to the browser we use, which varies from judge to judge.

Why bother screenshotting when the judges can just click on your profile. lmao

hi guys i didnt give specific feedback for last round but here's a general comment which applies to many of you.

It's cool that a lot of you are making your own embed videos and even matching up the pixels so it fits right into your background. It's a neat trick and it often looks really cool. and while I don't think it ever really takes away from the profile like sometimes a gif avi can, I do think that there are occasions in which it's sort of a missed opportunity. many of you didn't fall into this but some of you did, so allowed me to explain

if you're making your own embed video, you can put ANYTHING in that 480x360 box. It's basically like another bio except smaller, to the side, but you have more versatility. there are times when you really want your background to be featured or you want the profile to be somewhat minimalist, and in those cases, hiding the embed in the background is fine. but in other cases, you could be using that space for basically anything. give it some though, yo.

yes, this!!
