If you click on account options you can increase the max picture size so they don't get resized. The default is 128kb I believe.
I didn't get many screenshots but I'll share what I have.
Here's Cricket.
No, wait. Here she is.
No! There she is!
One more try.
Cuppajo dancing the night away.
Lord Recluse doesn't like it when people invade his personal space.
Trying to take down Mako.
My most common position during the fight.
That's it. I had a blast even though I missed out on a few of the events. Cheers to Cuppa.

Well I missed the whole freaking thing last night. Got home just as it was ending. I'll check the screenies when I get home though.
So there was a Hamidon in PocketD I heard? lol

Remember that the global system on test isn't connected to the global system on the live servers.

But is there one on live?
Wait...all this happened AFTER the event technically ended?
...right. Note to self: never take silence or a gap of 15 mins of inactivity past the event as a sign that you can go to bed without missing something.
And if all this happened in PD1 and only there, I'm staying in one PD the entire time even if asked to go elsewhere.
Actually, most of earlier monster spawns...Hami, Kronos Titan...were in instance 5 (or was it 7?) I wasn't there for the Arachnos Flyer, so I don't know what instance that was. Also, I guess the Cuppathon was still going on. It lasted a good chunk of the day. I think I heard Cuppa say she was on air something like 6-8 hours with Jester. There were contests and givaways going periodically for the several hours that I was there, and they were talking about things that sounded like they had been going on for a while before that (like some of the Dev's fighting in RV). The Find Ravenstorm contest went on for at least an hour it seemed. There were quite a few events.
Yeah no kidding! 
I heard people chatting through other channels about this or that but wasn't really intent on leaving my nice dance area by Cuppa to visit Recluse or the others in different instances.
But... then... I went to bed... *sigh* All that good stuff happened after I logged, and in an instance any of us could have gotten into by then because it'd cleared out too. Look at the screenies, see how few people there are compared to earlier?
I wonder what the final tally of people in each instance was!

Hami was on PD 7 I think. As you can see in the text, it was right after the Cuppa-Costume Contest. I was on PD 1 for an hour and a half and saw no red names at all. (However, I think I may have blinded Bubba Z with my costume. We shouldn't hear any muttering about anti-aliasing for a few days. 
)

The big PD1 list of av's and monsters happened *after* the 12 hour cuppathon had ended and Cuppa had left the building. If you were on when they were at hour 8 there was still another 5+ hours to go

I'm just a bit annoyed right now, despite how I know my annoyance is a bit immature/childish. I was really hoping for a post-Cuppathon event to get involved in, as well as hoped for a Sister Psyche cameo. I realize they likely had a lot of people pestering them and that they really don't need to respond to me at all, but I even /telled Manticore twice and Recluse once and asked if there was anything else going to happen last night at the end. They never responded to me, so I took that as "we're done, you can go get some much-needed rest without regretting it in the morning" and logged.
I also left PD1 after getting my yellow title so other people could get it; now I wish I had never left that PD, because while last night was a great event overall, things went a bit downhill after I left PD1.
Basically, to use an analogy, I feel like someone who spent hours to set up a fantastic house of cards, and then just as I was about to take a picture of it, some random jerk walked in and blew on it. I know I'm just whining a lot, and the devs don't "owe" me anything or any crap like that, I just wish I had at least some sort of indication that there was more coming up and I could've been there for the Psyche cameo. I can take being screwed out of the Recluse's Victory part of the event because I don't have the time to get my character up to lvl 50, I could've handled not getting a yellow title, but it just bothers me that I missed a really cool event for no reason other than that I was in the wrong place even if I was on for it (because a dev asked me and others to go elsewhere) and had no indication it would happen despite attempts to make sure I would miss as little as possible.
I'll try to shut up about it, since I know this is the last thing any of you want to hear, I just don't like missing something when I did everything in my power I could think of to make sure I wouldn't miss anything. I've missed a lot of cool events either because I didn't have a chance to be part of CoX when they occurred (e.g. - Christmas 2005) or because I don't have the kind of time to devote to getting to level 50 unless someone powerlevels me. I don't want to miss events I could very well participate in if I'm given at least an inkling of a notion of their occurring.
To state some positives, so this post isn't all me complaining to the point where I'm bound to get a lot of ire from people:
-I AM glad that Manticore was kind enough to give yellow titles to so many people, and even told people not to complain about the long wait in line (he didn't HAVE to do it, but he did).
-I AM glad we got cameos from dev-controlled characters, and that they interacted with the players.
-I AM glad that we were able to have such an awesome party for such an awesome person, one who I hope we get to see around here despite her moving over to Tabula Rasa. I realize this was first and foremost an event for Cuppa, and while I didn't get to do a whole lot with her because of low level or not knowing current events taking place in the game, it was great to hang out with her before she left.
-The overall atmosphere (at least of PD1 while I was there) was rather carefree and easygoing, which rocked. More fun than I've had in at least a year, given current circumstances.
I had left Pocket D 1 as well after I'd gotten my title but returned once CuppaJo had signed off. I stood out side the door to make sure I wasn't rushing in taking anothers spot and for a few minutes it was listed as not full so I headed in.
Honestly, part of me knew I'd feel like an idiot in the end for leaving PD1 as requested, but I did it anyway.
Anyway, hope you had fun at it (that's not sarcasm, I genuinely mean it).
I took a ton of pics too

I doubt very much that anyone 'planned' the release of all the giant monsters and such after the event was officially over. It was very likely Manticore's inner beast chuckling after a very very long day (the devs apparently were in meetings from what a w00t interview indicated, don't think it was him but I'd assume they'd have several in a meeting) and I'm sure he was just as tired as everyone else.
I sent a tell to Cuppa but didn't get a reply either, but there were like 400 people doing the same. After 12 hours, if they didn't feel like answering pm's, I think that's pretty much their perrogative, as this wasn't an 'ask the devs' moment - it was a 'good bye cuppajo' moment.
And just curious about what you've said: 'leaving PD1 as requested' who requested people leave? No one said anything in 2, so I am wondering what went on there?

Manticore was handing out temporary titles, so everyone wanted one. There were a number of requests made to leave the PD1 instance when you got yours because people were waiting outside trying to get in to get theirs too.

Someone in KR was offering 500k influence to anyone who left PD1.

That had long stopped by the time the Giant Monster-A-Thon happened, though.
I was 4 people away from getting a title! Fortunately, I know my luck well enough to have expected that. Too bad. Death Sprial would've looked great with a gold "Demented and Sad, But Social" over his head.
After the Cuppathon many supers hung around and tried to get a title from Manticore. Unfortunatly he couldn't stay long and had to go.
Right......go.......
lol well this is what he went and did.
