Actually it said King OR Queen or of course both, but not more than that, and it was also stated by a mod that 2 queens were okay.  I'm really disappointed a "King" didn't place in top 3.  It was also suppose to be fantasy, futuristic, not ordinary royalty, and they must wear some sort of crown.

Mine was in fourth place yesterday, then today she's suddenly in 13th place. Aww~ But, congratulations to the winners.

Honestly, I think it was a little bit unfair to set one of the players in 3rd position when they were having the same number of votes. Which was the criterion they based on to place one in the 3rd position and the other in the 2nd position? And, in my opinion the1st and the 3rd were really original "extravagant" queens. The 2nd one was a little bit of the common type.

Congrats to the winner.

If you are interested this week's theme is about futuristic couples (same sex mariage authorized)

Both members of the couple have to wear a heart somehow.
Futuristic clothes are compulsory.

You can't do a Doctor Who cosplay with his 21st century clothes but you can represent him with a futuristic outfit

Forbidden items as usual.

I'm grateful that I was lucky enough to be placed 2nd but I do think Medly's outfit was much more original than mine, it would be very interesting to find out.

In the event of a tie, I think (emphasis on think) that the final placement is "random".

The results of the Fashion Shows are "auto-generated" and posted within seconds of the end of each show... on all servers at the same time.  Due to the many time zones involved with the international sites, it is possible this occurs during times when no one at Feerik would actually be "working" and could apply a "personal" determination to the entries themselves.  Also, since the results are posted simultaneously (or thereabouts; I've never actually compared time stamps :P) across the various servers... it seems logical that this a programmed function of the game, with no direct human involvement.

Additionally, when the Fashion Show "rankings" were displayed in "real time" (during the actual shows themselves)... I observed many occasions where "tied" players reversed/flip-flopped/switched/exchanged (however you want to say it :P) positions between one screen refresh and the next.  Each time a new page loaded, the rankings for tied players changed (or not) randomly... and it is almost certain that no one is monitoring the shows in "real time" and revising their "entry evaluation" from one minute to the next.  These real time rankings were removed in an effort to reduce cheating... one of the many positive changes Team Feerik has implemented to try and make the Fashion Show better!  It's still not perfect, but I do believe that it IS better ^.^

Unfortunately, this "random" ranking will negatively affect the player who "randomly" receives the lower placement... which is a relatively minor issue with second and third places.  However, I can think of at least two shows where there was a tie with first and second place... and one show where ALL THREE PLACES were tied (I think it was the Ice Queen show; but the Feerik Blog showing "final vote totals" has recently been updated, and I cannot see the third place winner's votes o.O At the very least, first & second were tied in this show).

I know these will be unpopular observations.  If, indeed, the final rankings are random... that confirmation must come from Team Feerik, as always!

Note: Text in pink is not a "color choice"... it indicates a "direct link" which will take you to the appropriate thread for additional information.  Although I thought this was a well-known fact... it appears that most of the links I embed go "unclicked", and I have had at least one player sarcastically refer to my "highlighting" a quote in "pink".  Currently, changing text color is against the Board rules... although it was not always so!  So... pink = link *click*

Edit: Oooh... typos!!! Changed "where" to "were" and added apostrophe to "winner's" *ugh*
