[QUOTE="relica, post: 5965042, member: 6696480"] I'm not here to perpetuate a really dumb subargument. I said my piece earlier, but I do feel the need to correct you on a few things. 1) I never said attractive girls should be picked first. You completely missed the point of my first post. The entire point of it was to say that it doesn't matter WHAT people look like on the outside, it's their credentials that matter first. But the fact that looks perhaps added to the casting process isn't unheard of. It's obvious that they wanted the whole package, and there's nothing wrong with that. 2) I don't know about other girls, but I didn't enter into the contest looking for a modeling contract. There are other, far better/easier ways of getting a modeling contract. I really don't know where you got that, or why you felt the need to mention it considering it has nothing to do with the argument at hand. 3) Maybe you should actually WATCH the videos first before you sit there and say "Oh a lot of those videos describing themselves do not really mention gaming". In the videos, one of the questions was asking about RPG experience, or what your favorite RPGs are. Some girls chose to put their experience in the text box, others just chose to talk about it. Granted, you said you had no sound, but instead of throwing out yet another false claim, maybe you should have verified it first with sound so you know what you're talking about. Whole point of my argument before was that the girls should have been picked based on their game cred first. That's the most important. But if looks & personality played a factor too, there's nothing wrong with that. Just because there were "hot cosplaying models" who applied, doesn't make them any less worthy for the spots simply because they are models. Personally (and hypothetically), if I were one of the cosplaying girls who had years and years of gaming experience I'd be completely offended by people just saying "Oh, seems they just want to exploit hot chicks." Or maybe they wanted a hot chick who had awesome gaming credentials plus cosplay experience plus modeling experience too. But alas, who really knows what they wanted? Who really cares anymore?
