Screenshot Contest!Follow

Could you post the highest score that you've recieved, Azuarc? That way we could get an idea of what we're aiming for. Ooh, or is it a secret?

Edit: Some shameless boasting now: I have 70, 88 and 94. Tremble, mortals!

in the first 50 i saw about 20 i knew almost for sure and about 10 more that i could guess. Coming from a level 41 i feel i am good :)

If i tried at this maybe those times going and dying like 200 times isnt worthless(when i was level 14 i ventured deep into Thousand needles and such. Hell, a few levels ago i got on a Zeplin after only 2 deaths :)

For fun, I just answered the questions myself, doing my best to answer them the way I would before having started on this whole adventure.

I got a 99. (out of 200)

I have a question about the screenshots. When I take a screenshot it always upsidedown. Is there a way to flip it over to make it normal?


Thanks

Your video driver output may be rotated 180° to compensate for someone rotating your flat panel screen 180° ... not that that would ever happen by accident of course. :P Never tried it myself, but it's likely that would make upside-down screenshots. Photoshop works nicely for fixing things like that (as does operating your monitor in the normal 0° position).

=D

For it to be the 'new' screenshot contest, I would assume it would be either A: hosted by an Alla Admin;
B: not on a website that makes me wanna put a condom on my network jack just from reading the name.
Have you obtained the ok of an admin? If not please stop posting your junk here.

Wow, interesting necro...if I ever find time, I'd love to do a contest like this again. Probably something a little different, or including expansion content and instances at least, but yeah.

I think my only problem with some of them is the fact that it's so "generic" that it could be multiple places. But it's fun so far =)...


Oh! And you're totally awesome, Az... Can I be part of the Awesome Club too?

Alphaminor, you already did. The post got sub-defaulted by some of the other forum users. Our rating system predates some of the more modern ones like that at YouTube, but bottom line is it got rated down into oblivion by people who don't like links by people with 2 posts or by people trying to link random "contests" or other services in quasi-unrelated threads. I don't explicitly mind it, although I was a little confused about what exactly the contest was when I clicked on your link. If you would like to continue this discussion, send me a PM.


NS: They aren't all as generic as you think. They might *SEEM* generic, but that's the rub. For example, there's a picture that looks like it's in the military district of Old Town in Stormwind, when in actuality, it isn't. If you look at the people in the picture, it couldn't be there, notwithstanding that the rules mention that no cities. Likewise, the picture in front of Darkwhisper Gorge might look like the entrance to Burning Steppes from Redridge, but if you look at both of those locations and not purely the gate in the middle, you'll see that it's clearly one and not the other. There are two locations where I accepted one of two different answers because they genuinely were indistinguishable. (Curiously, one of those two, nobody gave me either right answer...funny that *I* was able to come up with both of them though!)

You can be part of the Awesome Club if you actually outscore the people who entered the contest back when besides our winner. I think you need a score of ~125. ;)


Xsarus, tomorrow will be day #125. I've been keeping to it. Right now, I've been centered on the holiday achievements. I really wish that Noble Garden and Children's Week weren't one after the other because I have some other things I'd like to do and I haven't quite cleaned out my NG achievements. I'm going to get "the Noble" about 2 weeks after Noble Garden actually ends, curiously. However, it will be my first title since my character still isn't 80.

I'll give it a try sometime. Pretty sure I can beat that easily.
