Screencap Contest - December 2018
This month's theme is... Finale.

I think the screencap contest is going to take a break for the time being starting 2019, so let's give it a good send off for now!

No real theme, no rules even! Have a HUD on your screen, use reshade or other, dlls post as many screenshots as you like (within reason), or heck MS paint it.

Post a screenshot of what FreeSpace means to you. Your favorite mission, your favorite ship, your favorite moment, your favorite mod folder.

Now I don't think I'll award a real winner (since tomimaki has this bagged for the year), but I will review your entries and award them fake Axem points.

If you want to take over the screencap contest, please PM me and I'd be happy to get you set up with everything!

Use the screencap script to help you take that perfect shot!

2018 Scoreboard:
CKid - 2
niffiwan - 1
Nightmare - 1
BTA - 2
tomimaki - 5

Re: Screencap Contest - December 2018
What is involved with running the contest? Is it just a matter of writing up the intro post, judging, and being alert for sketchy edits?


 
Re: Screencap Contest - December 2018
You could do them quarterly instead of monthly.

Re: Screencap Contest - December 2018
I think you need a good number of contests to make it exciting enough. Quarterly is a real long time for a contest like this, too easy for it to get forgotten about and with just 4 winners, the chances of a wide tie or one person winning 2 and basically winning the year is pretty likely. (Less yapping though, more screencaps! :D)

mine of course.  :D

Lol, if Axem lets me run the contest I'm not gonna enter after this! What do you take me for?  :p

 
Re: Screencap Contest - December 2018
Well right after the position of Screencap-judge became available you applied, so I guessed what you were planning with that move. :D

oh dear.  :D

Actually now that I think of it for that reason... should I not enter this month either?

 
Re: Screencap Contest - December 2018
Post as many and as good as you can! You'll have to earn your position first. :p

Oi oi! I said more screencaps! Not more yapping! :nono:

Also like I said before, there are no real rules this month! Whatever "wins", it won't be part of the official scoreboard. I even intend to submit something, so you guys better deliver something better than me! :drevil:

(Also HLD_Prophecy will indeed be hosting the 2019 season, so this month is his last chance to get an entry in!)

OK, even at the risk of getting banned :D , one more thing - would it be possible to get rid of the "No HUD" and "3 per person" rules? I sometimes come across cool pics but I've got the HUD on for most of the time. I hope people contribute more than as making scenes from scratch takes me several hours from choosing assets, scene building, POV etc; time I rather spend on other things...

E. Forgot to say that I meant the future of the contest.

For this month, there are no rules. (But still keep it reasonable, k?)

For next year, it'll be up to HLD_Prophecy to decide the rules and how flexible they should be. I have no power over that now.

If the opposite of pro is con, then is the opposite of progress Congress?

I have a bad feeling this topic is going to find its way to the Classics.

Really I'm working on an entry I am!  :D
