Didn't I read somewhere (at one time) that because so many people didnt want to have to be forced to dress up in a specific style that it wouldnt be enforced??

On the French version it is enforced - they boot you out of the show. It isn't going to happen here. I tried to get Feerik to either throw away the themes, or enforce them.. They refused to throw away the themes, instead telling the voters to "Remember that it is up to YOU to vote for those who respect the theme".
Of course that doesn't stop all the people who don't care.

Its obviously bothering a few people that take the time to dress up on theme when others arent.  And have seen comments from a mod asking girls why they aren't dressed on theme...    Anyway,  if its going to be a big deal then make it a rule that you have to dress on theme.  Cause honestly, im gonna get tired of reading everyone complain month after month when girls don't dress on theme.

Would you prefer I voted for the 10 or so girls in the same bikini instead of trying to get them to put in a little effort? You are getting tired of this? How do you think I feel?

As for voting for your own doll - the cheats are going to do it no matter what we say, so if you see your own doll, and she's the best on the screen, vote for her

Isnt this voting for yourself?  Which is against the rules...  Which is probably why there was the old rule of only having one doll in the fashion show.

Having one doll in the FS does not stop you voting for yourself - you only need to vote from an alternate account. The ONLY way to prevent someone voting for themselves is to force players to have ONLY ONE doll. That is also a rule here that everyone is breaking. It was decided to let that rule be ignored because of all the MDD refugees here. Remember we MDD players lost everything. I personally lost $1000 worth of dolls and ponystars. Getting off track, but you can see why Feerik let it slide.

Some consistency here would be nice.  Can the "Rule-Makers" please take the time to think of rules & then actually stick with them please..  And not change them when it becomes convienent for them to do so. 

*stepsoffsoapbox*

I am trying to make it fair  - not convenient.

1) Lets say I get online and vote 1000 times (and believe me I often do), and there are 200 dolls. If I vote for all equally, I have just pushed everyone's votes up by 5 votes. My votes of course have not advanced at all. By voting I am ruining my chances, aren't I? (Disadvantage  #1)

2) We all know "cheats" will vote for their own dolls no matter what. People who don't vote for their own doll ever are again at a disadvantage. (Disadvantage  #2)

So to make it fairer to serious players, I ask why they should be prevented from voting for their own doll.

So I will now specifically change the fashion show rule. http://us.ohmydollz.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=597

As long as you consistently vote for what you consider to be the best doll on the screen, you may do so no matter who owns that doll. That includes voting for your own doll, if you personally think she is better than the other two dolls on the screen at that time.
In otherwords, as long as you keep voting for dolls that are higher ranked than you, you may also vote for your own dolls.

I'm going to have to agree with you there...

*shakes her head*  I don't know why, but with this fashion show I paid extra attention to what the dolls were wearing.  I'll probably be blasted for this comment, but: so sad that the top winners were not representing the theme at all.

I'm sure with the next theme: beach/playa that most everyone will be on theme.  I hope.

I think people are forgetting to take into account that not everyone reads the message board.  I am sure a lot of the off-theme dolls are from those who don't read the message board and therefore have no idea there even is a theme for each week's FS.

It is also announced in the news each week, and that is the first page you see when you log in. I think it is more of a case of a lot of players don't read. period. And that includes rules, terms and conditions, news, or anything else.
But then, to counter my own argument - they DO read something at least - because they somehow find out what items are required to enter the show.

I think they were outfits that people could wear to a disco these days, rather than 70's disco style. At least they were not ball gowns or bathers.

I can already see one wearing last week's outfit with a badge from playa stuck on.... Be prepared for all of the bathers from the adventure to return, and no doubt there will be at least one person wearing that black and white gown, two Tim Burton dolls, two or three winged goths, and those wearing ball gowns with the playa items stuck to their legs under the dress.
And then there were those that entered the show before the last one was over - quite a few bathers outfits showed up! Hopefully they will realize their error and re-join.
