Hi guys, Well, I think it's already time we start putting in ideas on how to make this competition more active and more enjoyable for everybody. Because, I really don't have time to run a competition as if it's a chore, and the last thing I want is for people to play TI only because they feel they have to. I'm not that kind of person. Personally, I think the main mistake was going straight to the forum for the first cycle. I feel that maybe because TI didn't have much of a fan base, and it was something nobody had heard of - I should have waited until atleast after cycle 1. IDK, i'm guessing the whole forum idea was a risk not worth taking. I feel like the competition is dead now already. People aren't submitting pictures on time, are dropping out, not showing much interest - and it's only week two. It sucks because I spent soooo long perfecting this, and I just feel the work was almost for nothing. I'm even contemplating moving this to RTVG, if people still want to compete. I'd like to hear all your opinions. I might do something like "The Industry: Take Two" and continue the competition with the models that wish to continue playing. If it's successful, maybe a couple of seasons down the track [if we get that far! ] we could try the forum method out again. Can everyone please tell me their opinion? You don't have to be a competitor, viewers are welcome to put in their two cents as well. Thankyou all for being so amazing.

oh you moved your post here..hehe i posted in the other thread... okay my opinions: i think you need to stick with it bb,... i'm so sorry for what's happenning...:cry but i dont quite agree on moving this to rtvg,,maybe next cycle... you already have many members here..and in the semis you got alot of votes,,i think they showed interest...
it's kinda dead coz we dont have something to post coz it's just one game forum,,if there isnt photoshoots posted so there's nothing much we can do..i hope the elouai thread will work (but i'm the only one posted there :lol) but i believe when you posted the photoshoot there will be alot of members come...
for the contestant,,maybe you could ask them by pm to give 1-2 days extension,,,if until the new extension deadline they still havent submit their shots...continue without them!!! ihope this'll help bb.. love you izu!!!:love

Aww please continue it here bb. The thing I love about TI is this forum method. I agree with everything jercy said. <3 When the next shoot gets posted, the activity will be back up and more people will vote and have something to discuss about in here. <3 Also you can just cut the unmotivated bitches not submitting their stuff beyond deadline/ext/etc. This game is amazing as it is bb, more power. :kiss

I think a mixture of both could be a possible solution. You could move the game to RTVG, but keep this site open (almost like an extended version of a "game discussion thread on RTVG"). Cause I feel like all the work you put into this should feel rewarding for you, and if you move it to RTVG you'd possible get the satisfaction of more votes, more exposure, etc.

I really like this forum method a lot, I think the lack of activity is due to the fact that the shoot hasnt been posted yet, I think when the photo's are posted and the competition really gets underway there will be a lot more activity because then people will have a lot more to talk about. And I agree with Gravity, the game is amazing as it is.

But like, i'm still missing 6-8 photographs. That's the kind of thing that frustrates me. It's almost like people think the deadlines for TI aren't important, or they don't even want to bother playing.
Thanks so much guys for your kind comments. I'll probably stick it around for cycle 1.

aww izu, Im sure people will comeback when the photoshoot is up, just wait until this weekend as you said, and if people dont send things, kick their asses! This is honestly the best elouai game right now bb, just dont give up. This was a risky idea indeed but by how many people participated on semis, Im sure it was a paid off risk bb, dont give up!!

Oh no Keiren, please don't give up... This game is amazing and once the photo shoot get posted, I'm sure the site is going to get really active. You took a risk by creating a whole new eLouai forum, but at the same time it took the competition to the next level. You've put so much effort and time to this, so don't let all the hard work go to waste. I love this awesome game, and it shows in every post how much you care and try to make it even greater. I know sometimes you might feel a little disappointed, but see how much you have already achieved. I hated when some people tried to discourage you, but don't let anything bring you down. This forum is so beautiful and it's going to get even more popular as time goes by. The Industry is such an amazing game, so stay strong and let's give them a run for their money

Thanks so much guys It's nice to know i'm doing SOMETHING right. ;D Hopefully things start to pick up soon. I've noticed a delay in most of the elouai games lately, so maybe it's just a busy time for all the editors. If anyone has any suggestions, please tell me! I want to make this as enjoyable as it possibly can be for everyone. BTW, don't hesitate to create new threads in the off topic and cycle 1 discussion boards!

Okkk soo I love this competition and the only thing holding me back from creating a photo was no cellphone, internet or computer access cuz i was living out of a car for like 4 days sooo it wasnt very easy. So I do care
