TheVille.Org Screenshot Contest

FREEZE FRAME!

If you're like me at all, I'm sure you've got tons of images of screenshots in your game folders. Some may be of you dominating the leader-board by over a hundred points, others may be of the huge killing spree you went on as an ubered pyro. However, I'm sure most of them are of all the stupid things you've seen in-game, whether it be of admin abuse or the heavy pinned up at the top of the wall by a huntsman arrow.

What we want to see are the screenshots you have lying around that make you belly-laugh just thinking about them. Ones that people would never normally see in-game. Something that by looking at it could brighten the most miserable of days!

Of course, we're got to have some kind of limits on this contest, so here they are!

1. ABSOLUTELY NO GMODDING! This is not a GMOD contest, but rather a contest at finding funny pictures within games. Masakari will be screening all entries, and if they look suspicious, they can be refused.

2. The image must be an unedited screenshot - which means that the HUD must be showing in the image. Resizing is allowed, but I'll be resizing all the images anyways.

3. The image can be from any game TheVille.org host - which means TFC, TF2, DOD, DOD:S. PVK, L4D, Synergy, and even AoA if you so desired!

4. There is a limit of one screenshot per person, but you can change the entry as many times up until the deadline as you want.

5. You can submit your entry by emailing Masakari at the email address listed in his profile.

6. Please, please, please, please don't send TGA files. They can easily be converted here and saves Masakari a bit of work.

7. Once each entry is submitted, Masakari will very carefully keep track of which entry is which, as well as anonymize it if needed. He will then post them onto a special Photbucket album linked below, and he will post in this topic whenever new entries are on the page. Please do not comment on the actual Photobucket album! It's best if we keep things centralized in this topic. As well, if you are going to comment on any of the images, please keep it positive. For example, saying something like "Image 14 really made me laugh" is okay, but "Why on earth would the person who submitted image 14 think that's funny" will be deleted.

Album of Entries!


JUDGING:

We've hired a team of very impartial, international, and interguilded judges to rate all the entries. Our wonderful judges consist of myself, John Doe, and MMX. Each of the judges will give each entry a possible of 10 points: six points for humor, and four for originality. At the end of the month, those judges must take the top five highest ranking entries and anonymously agree on first, second and third places.

PRIZES:

1st - 10,000 forum points AND $30 from Steam store or 3 month Gold Supporter Status.
2nd - 5,000 forum points AND $20 from Steam store or 3 month Silver Supporter Status.
3rd - 1,000 forum points AND $10 from Steam store or 3 month Bronze Supporter Status.

(For first and second place, if you a currently a supporter it will just extend your membership by an additional three months)

So go around the servers, play some good games with friends, and see if you can't get a picture of something great!



Side note: the full image of Torven's beautiful GMOD picture in the background of the banner can be found here. Thanks again for the image Torven!

Well, I went through my folder and narrowed it down to 17.
This is going to be hard.

I don't think it was mentioned, but this event is all month long. The final deadline for entries is August 31st at 11:59pm Ville Time.

I'd also like to emphasize that you can change your entry at any time up until the deadline. So if you happen to get a good screenshot this month or change your mind feel free to resubmit your entry!

Great idea! Since I don't think I'll be able to get a decent ping with this internet, I wish everyone good luck! Looking forward to seeing the entries.

A quick note - I am currently on my work laptop for the weekend due to being out of town, and most of the entries are sitting in my Thunderbird client at home. Expect them to be uploaded by Monday.

There is an RSS feed for the album too as well, in case anyone's interested.

As well, there will be a second album set up for the "reject" entries (Once that people replaced with newer/better ones as well). Once that gets set up, I'll post a link.

Dang, all my screenshots on my laptop look "awesome" but none of them are funny.

Now I wish I was at home.
