From the outer shores the marauders appear. The sweet smell of gunpowder fills the air as their ships draw near, displaying with pride the fateful Jolly Roger flag.

Welcome to the Crew:

SwordPlay:

Arghhhhh matey! I downloaded a nice little pirate mod off the Nexus. Had to battle some pirates and claim this ship! So, here are some of my favorite shots of my main character Trish in F4, roleplaying her dream of being the captain of pirate ship. Excited about this! xx

Check the ship!:

Ready Captain!:

Ready for the adventure ahead!:

'tis a race t' th' finish t' find th' lost booty. A mighty cap'n in his new gear 'n his mortal foe, risen from th' depths. Game is Paladins

Some Skyrim screenies..

Spoiler:

Thank you to everyone for participating in the contest! I know some of you didn't win, but we still appreciate you sharing your creations with the community. You're all practically professional photographers at this point!

I would also like to thank my fellow Contest Committee members who are the ones that come up with these hair-brained ideas for contests to add a little bit extra excitement to the forum. Your work is sorrily underappreciated, and I thank you for it.

Now enough lollygaggin'! Here are the winners for the Pirates! Screenshot Contest!

Results:

Thanks again to everyone for submitting into this contest! We should have a new October contest out soon, and We'll get the rewards sent out as soon as possible.

I almost ended up swapping that screenshot out entirely, I am glad I decided against doing that.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the competition this time round, I know it kinda felt like there was a lack of pirate themed games to screenshot this time but truth be told I was surprised to see the amount of different games that I did.
It had never crossed my mind that I would be seeing battlefront 2 (modded of course), fallout or even paladins on this list.
again, well done to everyone who took part and I can't wait to see you in the next competition

Congrats to all winners. A shame there wasn't enough to compete with.

I would be suprised if JJ's first screenshot didn't win.
Congrats for Corvo aswell for somehow getting good pirate screenshots out of skyrim of all places.

Wasn't that glad with my own screenshots because I still found many of my things to look much alike with screenshots you could find in the original Shipwrecked steam store page.

I do hope the next contest gets some more people participating.
I would recommend Tolkien theme because of Shadow of War coming out and both Shadow of War or Mordor for their photo modes which may give many people a good chance to make something good.
Of course I don't think many people will buy SoW this early on release already for its high price and shady tactics.

Wow! After a crappy day, feels good to come on and see this.

First time ever applying for anything like this, so thanks guys.

Everyone had great submissions! <3

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to the team for organising this.

Congrats to everybody for participating! And also to JJHughes for coming first place!

For my own screenshots, I was extremely indecisive on the three of them. I ended up replacing the other two with more pirate looking screenshots as I felt that fit the contest more. I was also unsure what game to use, but I'm playing more TES recently so Skyrim was the no-brainer (for me anyway).

Big thanks to the staff that organized this. It was quite a fun competition, and good luck on the next competition!
