Subject: [CONTEST] STAR WARS Screenshots! May 2016 Wed May 04, 2016 6:49 pm
GUNners and GUNnettes! Ladies and Gentlemen! Jedi and Sith! Troopers and Rebels!
We are officially opening the STAR WARS SCREENSHOT - CONTEST -
Submissions can be from any game and from any genre, so long as it shows Star Wars elements in them! Show us your best screenshots of death-stars, tie-fighters, light-sabers, plasma-casters, droids, troopers, wookies, even the occasional Jawa & everything in between, that's related to Star Wars lore!
The submission period for this contest is from today, May the Fourth until May the TwentyFourth (May 4-24).
If necessary, we may extend it by a week or even 10 days (until June 4th), but let's keep it within the bounds of May, the international month of Star Wars
RULES & GUIDELINES:
1. Respect the image capacity. This contest has a maximum limit of three submissions per user. Each screenshot may be from a different video-game, but the total must not be above 3 screenshots. If you post more than 3 screenshots or post multiples of the same screenshot you will be asked to remove your extra submissions and may gain negative rep. Otherwise, any screenshots over the limit will be ignored entirely and even removed. Include all 3 (or less) of your screenshots in one single post. Do not make multiple posts in this topic.
2. Respect the theme of the contest. Submissions must Feature anything related to STAR WARS. Don't be abstract or metaphorical about it. There are about 25 Star Wars video games, and perhaps over a hundred individual Star Wars mods for other video-games. They are all encouraged, although the ones from actual Star Wars games will be regarded as better source material. You may post from different video-games, as long as each respect the theme.
3. Only submit your own images. Submissions must be captured by the person submitting the screenshot. Don't post someone else's screenshot or official promotional art and expect to win. Violation of this rule will have you disqualified and possibly sanctioned with negative rep.
4. No photoshop or post-editing. Graphical changes to the screenshot are not allowed, such as using photoshop or other software for after effects. INGAME filters and graphical changes are allowed, but if I or another member of the staff feel that your image may have been altered in an editing software or something similar OUTSIDE of the game, we may remove your image pending a small investigation, which may result in disqualification and possibly negative rep.
5. Only use released mods. Mods are allowed, and always will be, however only use mods that have been released. No personal, non-released, prototype mods, as it would create an unfair advantage and people would likely vote for the mod, rather than for the screenshot.
6. Only post screenshot submissions here. DO NOT post comments about other users posts here, or questions about the contest (send those by PM to me instead). If you want to tell someone you like their screenshot or have any other commentary, send them a PM or save your comments until after the winners are announced. We will open the topic for feedback when the contest is over.
7. Only edit the submissions entry before the deadline. Those who wish to change, swap out, or add newer additions into their previously submitted post may do so as much as they like within the submissions period. Once the submission period ends, any new edits will not be taken into consideration.
_____________________________________________________ Disclaimer: These rules may be subjected to change, but we will announce the changes properly.[/color]
The default screenshot-posting rules apply as well:
1. Use Spoiler tags to prevent page stretching. There's a small notepad button in your available tools here with a smaller yellow caution sign with an exclamation mark ( ! ) in it Clicking it generates spoiler brackets: [spoiler ] and [ /spoiler ] in between these brackets you include your pictures, even if they are thumbnails or full direct links.
This rule has been imposed to prevent unnecessary scrolling, vertically and especially horizontally, for people with smaller screen resolutions than that of the screenshots and for people who have already seen those screenshots before.
Sanction for repeatedly disrespecting this rule, therefore failing to properly implement the toggle-able spoiler feature, is -1 reputation point from staff and, potentially but not regulated, additional -1 reputation votes from other members of the site. If this is your first offense of this kind, your post will be fixed by staff.
2. Learn how to host images before posting in this topic: a) capture an ingame screenshot by either using the "Print Screen" button, the Steam screen-capture feature, the ENB screenshot hotkey or other programs such as Fraps. Make sure they are not .bmp. They should be .jpg, .jpeg, .png or .gif b) upload the resulted images to an image host such as imagebam.com , imgbox.com , imgur.com , or other similar sites. c) copy the automatically generated BB-Codes from either of these sites, or the direct links. It is preferable to use Thumbnails rather than Full Size pics. d) whichever you choose, make sure they have brackets around the link that ends either in .jpg, .jpeg, .png or .gif e) don't forget the spoiler brackets!
IT SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS[/color]
Code:
Base setup: [img]imagelink.jpg[/img] With Spoilers (see rule 1. ) [spoiler="image title here"][img]imagelink.png[/img][/spoiler] [spoiler][img]imagelink.gif[/img][/spoiler]
Sanction for not respecting this rule repeatedly, therefore failing to properly post an image as instructed or with similar results, is -1 reputation point from staff and, potentially but not regulated, additional -1 reputation votes from other members of the site. Should it be your first mistake of this sort, your post will be fixed by staff.
3. As far as image content is concerned, respect the following limits: a. no simulation of sex/intercourse (kissing is allowed) b. no nudity, erotic or otherwise, specifically no pubic parts/genitals/fully bare butt or breasts (although side-boob, underboob or cleavage are allowed) c. no slaughtering of children or cute puppies or kittens d. no discharging of bodily fluids (except blood)
Other common-sense limits may be implemented.
THE WINNERS will be decided by a Staff Judge Panel within a few days after the contest. We will not go through the Public Poll stage because of time limitation, but the best 5 screenshots will be explained in full, on the criteria which led to their selection.
Awards will include the following: The top 5 winners of the screenshot contest will all have their submissions featured in the site gallery and our site's group facebook photo albums! This will record them in history as the legendary winners of our first Star Wars Screenshots contest! The top 3 winners will be awarded a Steam game key for a random independent video-game worth $5-$10. The 1st place winner will also have their screenshot made into a site banner to be added to the rotation that is displayed at the top of the web page. Also, if the 1st place winner is not already a colonial, they will be instantly promoted!
This was voted on the fact that Vader already knew he was going to win, so his fist is raised up in a celebratory reaction. We were persuaded to concur after he waved his hand in a straight line and told us what needs to happen. We weren't force-choked thankfully Hehe! In all honesty, the picture is glorious enough on its own. The color contrast and lighting helped greatly: blue skies and white snow around the black and red embodiment of death. The angle and framing is more than proper, the lightsaber is lit and ready to swing and well... it does well to show the most iconic character of the series in his prime. We've all felt it's a fantastic representation of the saga and anyone who saw it would immediately know what it represents: Vader (about to or having just finished) kicking ass.
2. @Cpt.Rex - 2nd screenshot - Sandtroopers (Fallout New Vegas)
Spoiler:
This had a splendid composition. These sand troopers representative of an iconic scene: "These are not the droids you are looking for" said ol' Ben convincingly. Granted, the droids, Obi and Luke aren't in the picture, but the set, the troopers and their equipment seems spot on. It even has the two suns! The lighting is also excellent and the amount of detail will have us staring for days (that's why we couldn't get much else done around here ). It's odd that the main authority in all Star Wars related media on our site didn't win 1st place, I'll admit, but that's only because he was part of the jury and he couldn't vote for himself Just like I was in the jury and couldn't vote for myself (aaand also in my case neither did the others but that's another story ) Still, much deserved winning shot, Rex, we all thank you!
3. @beardofsocrates - 1st screenshot - X-Wing in space (Battlefront 2)
Spoiler:
This screenshot was another favorite because it has several iconic elements. First, it's the starry background, and I mean, what is STAR Wars without some Stars in the background, amirite? Secondly, the fan-favorite X-Wing in action, zooming past the platform of a destroyer! And another destroyer in the background, but no other X-Wings in sight! It's like David versus 2 Goliaths! Well, if young Anakin, Luke or Poe Dameron are flying it, then I'm sure he'll survive. The slight horizon of the planet is also a pleasing, colorful element of the screenshot, as is the off-screen, yet well hinted at sun on the edge there. Iconic shot, well captured. Only thing making it better would've been an actual Death Star looming over! Go Red Squadron!
4. @Cruz011 - 1st screenshot - Darth Vader on ship ramp (Fallout New Vegas)
Spoiler:
This shot was an ominous one. Although the lighting isn't as spectacular and perhaps some textures are a bit low-res, the scene is still compelling. It's almost that you can hear him step out of his ship, with the firm steps and heavy filtered breathing. The saber being charged doesn't mean he's here to say Hello. The imperial march is somehow hitting our brains even though our ear-drums are still. It's happening. The Dark Sith Lord has found us and there's no escape! Help us, Obi Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope!!!
5. @MrTrigun - 1st screenshot - Sith lady charge (SWTOR)
Spoiler:
The last entry of this 5-spot winners circle goes to this lovely, beautiful, colorful, angry, intimidating, slightly insane and fully charged up Sith Lady. We didn't know her name, but she made a great impression. The outfit, the posture, the angle, the background set, the color contrast, the lighting, all compelled us to vote it more than those that didn't make the cut. We would like to know more about her, but not like at a date or face-to-face or something, she looks like real trouble
That would be it! I'd like to thank the jury for their dilligence!
As previously announced, the #1 winning screenshot will be made into a banner. The top 3 winners will receive a (rather cheap) steam game key All 5 winners here will be included in our galleries!
Congratulations! I am grateful for all who participated! You're all winners in my book!
The next contest and its theme will be announced soon!
Also, tomorrow we will revert to our default site theme. Bye Bye, Star Wars Month! May the Force Be with You Always!
