Wait, is "Personal Taste" just the opinion of the judge? That's about all I'm stuck on.
Also here's the post talking about the details behind each category: http://maplestory.tumblr.com/post/159538695346/any-maple-fashionistas-here-if-you-think-you-have
Because fashion is often times subjective to each individual, that category is more of to see if you struck a preference of any particular judge. It gives the lowest maximum potential score as personal preference is not the greatest contributing factor to a victory, but we shouldn't pretend that it doesn't exist.
It was also noticed by competitors of last month's contest that certain looks had a higher chance of winning and raised the question of if the judges preferred X over Y. Our panel of judges are rarely the same and the personal taste of what each judge liked for each month should be more visible now.
At the end of the day, an overall low score in every main category will more than often result in a low score of personal taste. It should be seen as a complementary category that also lets myself know more about my judges and helps the competitors know more as well.
