Classic Nudes Hall-of-Fame Election Series: Photo #1

[bobjustbob]

What are you talking about... of course ANPA exist! The question is where. Here's a newsflash: Existence is no longer limited to brick & mortar or even a web address. Welcome to the world of virtual reality. Technically, all creations begin (exist) conceptually, then evolve into more tangible or physical entities.

I don't open up my PM unless I have a private request. My questions about the Academy of Nude Photographic Arts and RMP-Int’l Nude Photo of the Year Tournament were drawn from your initial post. You are asking us to judge the photo based upon standards set from current and past tournaments. Please give us all points of reference to adequately make our decisions from ANPA and RNP-International and their past and current tournaments.

Actually, what I'm asking for is your opinion, based on your personal visual experiences of nude images. The opinions of the referenced tournament judges is immaterial and potentially counterproductive to this thread's objective, as it may unnaturally skew perspectives, and hence, poll results.

Everyone here has seen pics that made them say "Wow!", those that were total turn-offs, and then those in between. So, your frame of reference is essentially the collective body of ALL of those images.

^The goal of this thread is to identify outstanding nude or semi-nude female-centric photos worthy of Hall-of-Fame status.

For purposes of this survey, a “classic”, i.e. Hall-of-Fame photo shall be defined as an exceptional nude or semi-nude [non-graphic] image, erotic or sexual in nature, featuring one or more female subjects, and possessing a timeless quality.

Photos which appear in this election series are quarter-finalists or better, from current and past RMP-Int’l Nude Photo of the Year Tournaments.

A simple majority of the Freeones community of voters shall effectively induct a photo nominee into the ANPA* Hall-of-Fame.

Poll duration: 30 days

* Academy of Nude Photographic Arts

A few points for clarification; define "outstanding", and "exceptional", and what rubric is being used, what are RMP-Int'l and ANPA, do the "nominees" know they're being voted on, and is there a prize for the "winners"? Do you plan to start a new thread for every "entry" and wouldn't this be a better fit into the Games section of the board?

Outstanding/Exceptional - among the best (top 5% of randomly chosen pool of candidates)

What rubric - not applicable, purely subjective

RMP-Int'l - check PM

ANPA (see asterisk in original post) - a virtual destination created to effectively "house" Hall of Fame inductees belonging primarily to the genre: non-expicit nude glamor photography.

Nominees aware? - Playboy; quite possibly. All others, seriously doubt it

Prize for winners? - No

New thread for every entry - Yes, each poll will expires after 30 days

Better in Games section? - definitely not (terrible "fit"/not a game or competition), Niche and Fetish Corner
may be best fit

RMP-International, Academy of Nude Photographic Arts, asterisks and private explanations, what the fuck are you talking about? You are asking about a Hall of Fame based upon what criteria? We need a point of reference and comparison. From what I understand now, you are asking us to rate something about a picture and another one comes up every 30 days. Where are we going with this? I'll participate if I know what the RMP-International and the Academy of Nude Photographic Arts are.

Seems you've gotten way too worked up over this, my friend. Lives are not at stake here and no money is changing hands, yet I'm sensing an unnecessary degree of stress and even angst, almost as if you were signing a long-term contract. This was intended to be a simple exercise in individual taste and collective opinion, nothing more.

Three poll options have been provided to categorize your assessment of the photo shown. You can choose to participate or you can choose not to - it's just that simple.

@wmonbear does anybody even give a shit about your "hall of fame election series"???

I assume you must be one of those blind internet users, because any sighted person would see the answer
clearly on display at the top of the page.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Yeah, a whopping thirteen people. Way to go. On behalf of the DouchePatrol, thank you for letting us know you're a :douchebag:

My "Grilled Cheese Sammich vs A Taco" thread had a higher voter turnout. So did "Paris Hilton vs a Cheese Grater." You suck.

 

[Ace Bandage]

At least half the votes are from people like me who don't give a fuck but still vote arbitrarily in your polls to skew the results and fuck shit up.

Also, I'm with Bob on this one. You can't have a HOF without any criteria. It can't just be based on subjective opinions. That's fucking stupid.

And there is no goddamn point to any of the voting. The results are meaningless.

@wmonbear does anybody even give a shit about your "hall of fame election series"???

:rofl2:

No, nobody gives a fuck about any of the bullshit he posts. HOF pictures and SPAN photos... they're fucking pictures of nude women. Quit trying to turn it into something more elegant or important. You're putting the pussy on a pedestal.

You "Ace Twins" come on my thread as if you matter. You're just a couple of miserable pathetic trolls.
All you guys do is spew negativity, in a faliled attempt to compensate for your apparent inadequacies.
Very, very sad.

13 votes means a dozen or so individuals appreciate the intrinsic artistry of fine nude photography.
I'm fine with that!

Doesn't surprise me at all that 2 lowly trolls don't get it. You guys are completely out of your element.
Why don't you go crawl back to the sewer holes you call home and enjoy a bowl of "chocolate chowder"... my treat!

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Hey, dick, I embrace my troll nature. You just can't handle being called out for your bullshit. Nobody cares about your posts or your polls (okay, thirteen people care but still) or your pretended importance. If you had any pull or prestige you'd be a content owner, mod, or team member. But you're not and we'll take every opportunity to undermine your shitty threads.

 

[darkwarrior3007]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. This isn't actually something like the AVN Hall of Fame where people are recognized for their outstanding work in their chosen profession? This is literally completely made up? What exactly is the point of this? If it's for fun, why is it called a "Hall of Fame"?

 

[Ace Bandage]

Yeah, I don't get it either... :dunno: He has still yet to say what purpose the polls are fulfilling.

But apparently the miserable cunt who started the thread gets upset if you ask questions.

You "Ace Twins" come on my thread as if you matter.

It's not your thread, you fucking self-important douche. You don't own anything. If you did, you could keep trolls like me out.

[bobjustbob]

You have interests in artistic nude photography. Fine, I'm sure plenty of people would participate in discussions about that. Simply start a thread about it and let the discussions flow. No need to make up fake institutes and halls of fame. Doing that is insulting the intelligence of the community and as you have seen, we are not so easily fooled.

Alyssa's photo does not qualify (imo)

edit - as already covered in this thread, linking to Playboy pics without accompanying links to the source gallery is not allowed

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Stop encouraging this behavior.

 

[Anonyne#017]

wmonbear, are you related to that eric123 something dude? I agree here with bobby... If you wanted us to vote hot or not, you should have just added hot or not poll and leave out all this BAMBA* LAMBA* and HALL OF FAME options from the poll and introduction? Also you are using way too many fancy words to try confuse people... Any educated person would know how to explain things in a simple manner and to never use any fancy or career specific words when explaining things commonly to non-specified people.

Can no longer let this fester... I mean, who do I think I am anyway!

Well, as it turns out, I happen to be the founder, chief administrator, and commissioner (5 seasons running) for the #1 [and largest] nude photo tournament in the world (over 500+ photos submitted and reviewed on an annual basis).

Here's how the system works: photos are submitted, then rated by a diverse panel of 5 to 10 seasoned (experienced) judges. Based on the average score attained, and a predetermined minimum threshold, a pic will either be qualified for playoff contention or will be eliminated. Following the end of a 12-month long regular season, the playoffs, comprising the highest-rated photos of the year, kicks into gear with elimination-style matches, often pitting 3 pics against one another at a time. Four divisional winners are crowned champions, including Photo of Year award winners for both Solo and Multi-model divisions, with runner-ups elected as well . Upon claiming their respective titles, these 8 battle-tested photographs are systematically inducted into the tourney's Hall of Fame. This has been and continues to be an extremely successful time-tested format.

As good as this methodology has been, there's remains a single problem, albeit a minor one. With such a large volume of quality nude images competing against one another, many excellent pics find themselves eliminated from contention, often by a single vote, even though they may virtually be of the same stature of the pic which eliminated them.

So, why this thread? Freeones community of voters could conceivably play a viable role in "certifying" deserving NPI’s (nude photographic images) for Hall-of-Fame induction.

Some of you spoke about lacking a "frame of reference" for rendering a proper judgment - which is a valid point. To address this issue, the plan going forward is to 'roll out' some of the more successful NPI’s of past seasons along with a few that were not so successful. This exercise would serve as a training period to build and identify the parameters needed to render a more educated and informed photo assessment.

Following this orientation period, Freeones voters will have begun to develop the skill set necessary to become seasoned reviewers of nude images. At this time, Freeones members will be encouraged to submit photographs they believe posses Hall-of-Fame potential. Overall, we’re looking at about a 6 to 8 week process to arrive at this juncture.
