Screenshot the Spot!


How well do you know your City of Heroes/Villains locations?

Hello, hello and welcome to Niviene's Screenshot the Spot forum game where every Wednesday until 4pm Pacific Time (7:00 PM Eastern Time / 12:00 PM GMT / 1:00 Central European Time) you can win your choice of a costume code from past Con seasons and the Forum Title "Screenshot Spotter [date]".

The object of this game is to be the first to 1). Figure out the location in-game depicted in the screenshot and 2). Post a screenshot that is closest to the one I have posted , with your own character in the place of Niviene. Sounds easy right? Well there's a catch. The location isn't going to be as obvious as you might think so make sure you pay close attention to the picture details and hints.

The Pictures will start out masked and more and more of the image will be revealed as time goes on as long as no one has correctly identified the location by posting their own screenshot. If by the end of the day no one has identified the location, the full picture will be revealed and no one will win for that week (BOOOOOOO!).

Rules:

1. Your post must contain a screenshot of the location depicted in the initial contest post, but with your character in the place of Niviene

2. Screenshots must remain less than 800px X 500px to qualify.

3. UI needs to be turned off (Menu -> Options -> Keymapping -> scroll to bottom under other "Toggle Screenshot UI")

4. Reply in the official City of Heroes® forum (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/) thread created for each weekly “Screenshot The Spot” Contest with your screenshot submission.

5. Your reply must contain a single screenshot. Entries with more than 1 screenshot will be disqualified.

6. Your submission must also contain the following statement. Please note that your submission will be disqualified if this statement is not present in your post:
Quote:
If I am a winner, I permit NC Interactive, Inc. and NCsoft Europe Limited to use my name, likeness, photograph, hometown, and any comments that I may make about myself or this contest that I provide for advertising and promotional activities. I also certify that I am at least 13 years of age and am eligible to participate in this contest.
7. To enter the contest weekly, as of January 13, 2010, you must be 13 years of age or older. If a winner is under 18 or a minor in his or her state/province/country of residence, his or her parent or guardian must also sign any applicable releases and documentation.

8. Please note, only 1 (one) entry per forum account will be accepted. If you post a second time, you'll get disqualified, so make your one entry count!

9. Entries must conform to the Official City of Heroes Message Forum Rules and Guidelines.

10. If you win the City of Heroes® Screenshot The Spot Contest one week, you are not eligible to do so again for the next 8 weeks. This is to allow other people the opportunity to win. Please be courteous to others and refrain from participating during the weeks you are not eligible to win.

Slightly different angle I think.

Hope it doesn't matter

You're not neccessarily out of it yet, Convoy. The location is just 1 part, you also need to have your character be the closest in the place of Niviene. And since we dont' know what Niv is doing or where she's placed in the shot yet, you're still in it!

Congratulations Orion_Star_EU for being the first to post a screenshot closest to the one I have posted with your character in the place of Niviene.

The reveal:




Clearly next week I am going to have to step it up a notch and really make it tough.

Well done!

Heh. Don't feel bad. I'm a 60 something month vet, and I still don't know where it is. I've never gotten a villain that high. I'm not sure where that Cyrus statue was last week either. Somewhere in Kings Row, maybe? I have a feeling this is not the contest for me.

It's nice how most of these things take place when I'm at work. (Yes, I WOULD much rather be here, trying to figure out the screenshot or find the words, but I have those stupid bills to pay. I'm gonna be a bill collector when I grow up. Then I'LL have all the money! Hahahahahaha! )

I don't understand why they don't just let us buy the costume codes. More income for them, and more happy for us.

I know . I've entered contests over and over and watched with my
"" as more westcoast cons pass by and still have no costume codes. 3/4 of the people who enter 2 of the same contest for these codes would pay $10 for their favorite I'm sure.

I mean really!? 4 seconds to apply a costume code from twitter? Thats insane. I can't even fathom the setup required to "bot" that
(PS I counted. I entered mine in 6tops, hit apply and it was "already used", that was the day I gave up on that contest )

If I had to guess, I'd say they had two tabs open, in widowed mode. The inactive tab had the Twitpage open, and set to auto-refresh, while the active tab was at the code input page for their account, with the cursor in the input box. As SOON as the code showed up, type away, and hit enter. BAM! Instant Code!

Also: sixecks, izzat Pig in your sig?
