@lucky.andrei @lramos333 I understand your anger, but I think that if your goal is to be a partner this is not the way! I am not going to give you advice, but if you are willing I can help you with whatever you need! Nobody really has a formula to be a member, in my case I only dedicate myself to doing what I like to DESIGN and I get an income from the hard work I dedicate each face to, if you create interesting things for users, you will surely be under the magnifying glass and be a candidate for Partner without having to ask for it from the 4 winds … I’m here again for whatever you need!
The OP’s question regarding the Top 100 was answered on March 11. Now that the discussion has moved to Partner qualifications, perhaps it needs to go to a new topic.
that’s not how the forums work. I can´t imagine a forum only with a topic and an aswer…
How is it possible that you know that some person cannot enrich that question more?
The only ones angry here are the partners who can’t take someone giving a negative opinion on the top 100. You people are ridiculous. Actually if you need help I can help you! Really I can help you. I’m not going to give you advice but I can help you in whatever you need! Who are you to judge if someone becomes a partner or not? If giving an opinion on a topic causes someone to not become a partner then you know what you guys can do with the partnership. Again, I can help you with whatever you need design wise.

HAHAHA! I would love to be able to discuss design with you, it is always good to exchange knowledge, to enrich each other with someone who has the same hobby! And I believe that you are not Miguel Angel painting faces on smartwatches and you have thousands of followers like Moises demanding your recognition, I hope that one day you will be a partner for your merit as each of the partners have done! then we can talk about whether or not you like each Partner’s style, but that’s for another topic!

Maybe one day I can reach Michaelangelo and Leonardo DaVinci status like you have reached in becoming a partner. As the world knows that is the ultimate feat in design. I bet you walk down the street and people flock to you for autographs. They must say “Hey that guy is a partner in Facer”!!! Maybe one day… Just maybe…Thank you for enriching the world with your designs.
I think that is just what you are looking for, ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and that is not asked, it is only earned! Try not to hide your own helplessness behind your comments and this topic! I wish you the best on your way!

Recipe:
- Nice design, useful and unique
- Followers will help if they are real followers (not ghost)
- Instagram Post (same about followers)
- Patience
- Love
- Respect each other people
- Remove and wait for a while.
Step 1: Give time to each design you publish. Work on it, let it breathe.
Step 2: Do not expect to stay on top without all the ingredients.
If you are a machine and you publish 40k designs per week, all of them similar to the others (it happens), back to step 2.
Ps. I’m not gonna read all this giant post because I think is full of unnecessary things. Just replying to the main post.
And now, Im going to close the post with my powers.
I am very fond of the partners, each individually and all together. So you are clearly mistaken. I also respect several partners. I will even list which ones. They are all involved in the community (each in their own way) and are always willing to help. The others hide in the shadows and only show up for an occasion like this thread on the forum. I believe that you are able to help the community, but believing is one thing and seeing the actual deeds is another. It’s not enough to simply declare your help
If I have forgotten any of you, I will mention you separately. The order of precedence is not important
@GAUSS @kvansant @nathantrafford @Orakix well @Batwolf
I would like you (including others) to understand one thing. Do you all think that if someone expresses an opinion, in this case about the top 100, he does it only because he wants to become a partner? And everyone who makes more or less decent design watch faces, he also necessarily wants to become a partner, Yes, that is the goal of people who come here and read the idiotic text “How to become a partner”. They make a not bad or good design, they gather followers and when they see that they have fulfilled all the conditions, they get worried and write directly to Facer or ask for advice on the forum. What happens next or can I tell you?
I’ll explain it anyway, but I can do it a little later.

Well, i will confess i don‘t fully understand which circumstances lead to an invitation to the partner program. The facer crew will have their reasons but it‘s not up to us to judge about it. I know that the facer teams observes all promising designer. Maybe it‘s technic skills, individuality, team ability and overall behaviour at the community… but i do know that it‘s not a sign of good style to kick asses of the partner designers. I am with you that the invitation text should be overhauled, because fullfilling the parameters doesn‘t lead automatically to partnership. I can understand the frustration not to be invited but there are a lot possible ways to react. Aggression only brings troubles instead of helping to cross the finish line. BTW: I don‘t feel any better than all others, partner or not. We all should focus on the one thing we all have in common: having fun while creating watch face gems.
The things i posted here in this thread were only to give some (hopefully helpful) explanations and some assisting advice.

In fact, you’d better do some reading, and at least spend some time looking at portfolios. Now we’re going to have to dissect you a bit, it doesn’t hurt too much
Nice design, useful and unique
So you can list all the people here who have ever wanted to become partners and speak out on all the flaws in their design?
Followers will help if they are real followers (not ghost)
So 11,000 followers is still not enough?
Instagram Post (same about followers)
I really don’t have much to say here, that’s for sure. That’s where you hit it right in the heart. That’s what the guys who wanted to be partners were missing. I’ll be sure to let them know. No one’s going to fix the “how to partner” text, are they?
Yeah, right, that’s not for you to write, that’s for me to write to the Facer guy.
Patience
I don’t even know what units you use to measure patience? Until it runs out? Two years isn’t enough, is it?
Love
Damn, that’s a real kick right in the kidneys. Hey guys, who here doesn’t like Facer? Maybe there’s someone here who hates humanity? Local Dr. Evil, show yourselves!
Respect each other people
I personally respect everyone. But respect also has to be earned by your actions, if you do nothing, why should you be respected. Of course you can be respected for your unique design, but if you make a great design and torture cats at night, should I respect you too?
Remove and wait for a while.
Remove my watch faces and wait? I deleted, then waited, then deleted again, then waited no more, then deleted again… What’s supposed to happen? Should there be a glow around the head or what?
Step 1: Give time to each design you publish. Work on it, let it breathe.
I breathe on the screen, the design of the new watch face on it. The screen is already fogged up. What do I do next? Can I breathe the other way? I am very hungry and thirsty, nothing happens to the design on the screen. I will report back to you until I pass out.
Step 2: Do not expect to stay on top without all the ingredients.
So we need to climb to the top of the top 100? We have to have a goal and strive to achieve it. (chuckles) Great. Because the collections you choose watch faces, well in general these choices are often very ridiculous and inadequate. Or is it not a choice of partners? We’ll talk about that later. Is that where we should be aiming, too? These collections?
If you are a machine and you publish 40k designs per week, all of them similar to the others (it happens), back to step 2.
I know a guy here who works in style, wow I’ve done a thousand more hour faces, why doesn’t Facer show more than a thousand in my portfolio. Are you trying to offend him?
Ps. I’m not gonna read all this giant post because I think is full of unnecessary things. Just replying to the main post.
I have so much respect for you that I have read everything you have written. Will you respect me in return?
And now, Im going to close the post with my powers.

I was expecting at least you to realise that you can’t keep giving the same advice about love and patience. And people will listen to it, use that advice, stick their tongue up their ass and keep quiet. And when someone dares to discuss the issue, they are accused of aggression. You don’t need to get involved in partnership issues if you don’t have any influence on it. Or am I misunderstanding something?
How many people with a good design that could have been a great design have left this forum after realising their uselessness here? Did the advice help them? Have you supported them in any other way?
How should you express your opinion so as not to offend anyone when it comes to the top 100? Admit that everything is great there and apologise? Regarding the rest of the forum, you should also admit it’s great and apologise. Apologise for the outdated documentation that @bradtc was working on a new version of, but now he doesn’t need it, he seems to have realised something. But who is happy with what he has figured out. Have any of you tried to change anything? Oh no, that’s right, I forgot, that should be done by the Facer guys.
This is the second time we’ve been told in this thread. You guys should have found another way to express your opinions, it’s not the best way to get a partnership. It just goes to show that @lramos333 and I have already closed the road there. Well then, we’ll clear the matter up for others. And then it will be their choice whether to remain silent, love and wait or speak out and deal with the issues at hand.

The problem is also that people come here full of energy. And the whole thing turns into a graveyard of unfulfilled hopes and everyone is fine with that

Dear Sir,
- I wrote that from my experience, with no other intentions.
- I must say that in that part where I said “remove” is a mistake, it comes from a Spanish expression, I wanted to use the verb “to move” Please don’t remove your designs.
The most the better. And I think 11k is far away from what you have.
Patience never runs out. If two years was not enough, something is wrong on your side, I did it in less time. (not important data)
The most important thing, my message was not addressed to you as a personal thing, it was a general tip, I can understand your patience have run out but this way you won’t get what you want.
I have so much respect for everyone, deserved or not, is the way I am, but I think you are not reading in the right way, with no connotations, and in a defensive way. It does not help, definitely.
And last but not least, The best way to be a partner is to have a good relationship with the partners, they can help you, even recommending your name, but I think you are missing that chance.
Please, I’m not in an argument, I talking in a passive mode, don’t get this message wrong
Love and respect !

Dear Sir,
you must have misunderstood that I am not writing about myself. I gave examples of other people’s portfolios here as examples. Yes, it’s hard to understand when everyone around you is rushing to become a partner.
And last but not least, The best way to be a partner is to have a good relationship with the partners, they can help you, even recommending your name, but I think you are missing that chance.
Attention everyone! Do not do as I do. I got the third mark and I’ll never be that, wait, I’ve already forgotten that word, something that starts with the letter P in there.
Advice to all ordinary people on this forum.
If you happen to read the text “How to become a partner”.
- Immediately make a list of partners. They can be identified by the stars on their avatars. By the way, if someone with a lightning bolt on their avatar shows up in the thread, you’re screwed, you won’t even have time to pray.
- Start loving them. Maintain a relationship with them. Start by praising their watch faces if they show them to you.
- Never allow yourself to swear in front of your partner.
- Never discuss on a forum or in a chat room that something isn’t working the way you expect it to or doesn’t work the way you expect it to.
- Never, ever discuss what you want to be a partner, it’s an immediate black mark. I can give you examples on this forum.
- Always think everything here is almost perfect and be happy and positive when you post anything here.
Love will save the world. Peace and love to all of you.
What else? You can add to it if you are not afraid.
P.S. Love dogs and cats, about insects and aliens decide for yourself.

Oh I forgot the short and succinct advice from you-know-who.
To sum up - my key to becoming a partner:
1. Make good shit.
2. Don’t be a dick.
That’s all.

I’m not looking for any acknowledgement at all, especially not from you. You sound like you’re full of yourself. You people think because I made a comment that the top 100 is rigged that it’s because I want to become a partner or need acknowledgement?? Haha. Read this carefully, I don’t give a crap about becoming a partner and never did quite frankly I don’t know how some of you were chosen. Being a partner doesn’t mean you are better than anyone else. Honestly I’ve lost any respect for you people. Anyway, I have a life beyond watch faces, Andrei is 100 percent correct in what he wrote. You people are a complete joke:joy:
Many communities keep track of topics that are confirmed answered by the OP and therefore closed. Thus there cannot be more than one answer in one topic. If a discussion wanders off topic it needs a thread of its own. It is easier for members to search topics and go to answers sooner than reading inserted off-topic discussion that way.
