Fashion Show question

(wasn't sure if this should be in the "Fashion Show" category, as everything there seems to pertain specifically to the contests).

I'm just wondering if a mod could clarify this for me:



Once my doll has won, how long is it until she can enter a fashion show again?
In the same vein, can my alternate accounts still enter even if one of my dollz has won?

Specifically:

My account diagonalley won a show a few weeks ago, so is my doll snortmort allowed to enter the upcoming show?

Fashion Show Rules

The above link shows the "rules" for the Fashion Show, which gives the below answer:

Can I win more than once?
No, once you've won you won't be able to register for the fashion show again.


But somehow (and I can't find it right now) seems like I remember something "new" that was added to that particular rule in that you could enter with the same doll six months after winning First Place.  I'd say if you enter with Snortmort and you win 2nd or 3rd place in two weeks or longer if it takes longer to do so, you'd be able to enter with Snortmort before the six months were up... I think.... at least, I've seen some dolls win 3rd place one week then maybe 2nd then finally FIRST place within a few weeks.  If someone can clarify THAT, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Fashion Show question

See #11http://us.ohmydollz.com/?p=defile_regles

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to enter with a different account. If the account you are entering has not won in the past 6 months then why not.

Re: Fashion Show question

Well I that's the case, I've seen several dolls win several fashion contest back to back (or within a month or two) using the SAME EXACT outfit. Clarification here?

Actually, what you are referring to is a not-especially-accurate function of the way the Fashion Show results are programmed... to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever won two shows (here) with the same outfit.

The only entry "snapshots" that are saved for both Board and OMD web publications are the Top 3 players... and, if one of those players has previously finished in the Top 3 of another show, that older picture is "overwritten" by the newest entry. This means that each player is represented by only ONE snapshot (the current entry) no matter how many shows they have entered, what the theme was, or where they placed.

It really is a shame, because all those beautiful older creations are "lost" for posterity... and, of course, the apparent "double" entries can lead to confusion.

For instance, here are the winners of the most recent Fashion Show: In Pajamas *click*

http://us.ohmydollz.com/img/cachedefile/us/97676.png http://us.ohmydollz.com/img/cachedefile/us/70531.png http://us.ohmydollz.com/img/cachedefile/us/85610.png

While these are the the winners for: Medieval Court *click*
http://us.ohmydollz.com/img/cachedefile/us/13903.png http://us.ohmydollz.com/img/cachedefile/us/85610.png http://us.ohmydollz.com/img/cachedefile/us/70781.png

Notice, one of the players is wearing pajamas in both posts... and, clearly, PJs are not an accurate representation of whatever the original royal garb was.

Now, as to whether someone could conceivably win two Fashion Shows here using the exact same outfit... that would require the determination of a moderator. I can think of one fairly recent show where a player won the same show with the same outfit... but on two different servers.

Quite honestly, the best person to direct specific questions regarding the Fashion Show is a moderator, not the Board... as well-intentioned players often provide incorrect information. If another player (myself included) provides an answer, it is always best to get confirmation from a moderator... as they are the final authority on what is/is not allowed!

If there is widespread, or continuing, confusion on any topic, you can be sure the moderators will post an update or FAQ... after all, they are here to help us ^.^

Re: Fashion Show question

Thanl you Noregrets for that information. It just rubbed me wrong going through old ones and actually seeing that.
