It certainly is Dark Astoria. It was tough finding a location there that wouldn't be obvious that it was "DA". (Leaves on the ground a sign that is in more than one spot.) The mobs were your hint and I tried to make sure you didn't see those so clearly but the chest emblems I thought would be a dead give-away.
You guys are QUICK so I constantly have to look for tougher ways to distort the images to throw you off your game.
My apologies to those that were frustrated. Blame your fellow players on being too good at knowing their City of Heroes locations heh.
I never want to see another "The Garage"

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

We can see every edit made as well as the times. I don't care if you edit your pics to get them right so long as you're the "FIRST" one to get there.

apparently so.

Some were close but the buildings didnt match up. That was really tough mostly as the color scheme didnt look like DA

but i wonder if they know that you can change the uploaded picture wihtout editing your post.
all you do is change it in photobucket or what ever and it updates automaticly and shows no post edit either.
but i guess thats allowed since he did post "FIRST" he just posted wrong then changed his pic to be right, but its ok, thats not cheating "THAT" much.
=P
(and yes i had nothign better to do than sit and refresh this page to see who would win.)

aw man that was fun 
Its soo funny I stood at that one in DA for about 10 min trying to determine if that was it.... I couldn't the the amount of roof to show to the same amount she did -- So I headed over to freakin faultline, with not base or coal with power to use to get back to DA when I saw your next hint Niv...
There were other Virtue peoples looking around too that were at that spot as well -- *looks at Blazing and her friend*

Maybe really through them off, use the demo files, and edit them to have a ghost ship in some place like Cap au Diablo, or a Death Surge beating up Atlases ankle.

Congrats, Demobot!
Hehe, these are crazy! (I don't even bother, but it is fun watching you crazy people best these ridiculously obscure pictures!!)
Lay off the questions about the victory and give Demo the credit!
As Niv said, they're keeping track of edits and all.
Also... wouldn't the filename and url of the pic change if you edit it at the hosting site?
I don't use photbucket, so maybe they allow you to edit it without changing the url? Seems unlikely, as you could mess with A LOT of things that way, hehe.

Acctully it doesnt change as long as the image name is the same and as long as you delete the old image and reupload it, it keeps the same url, thus no editing of post is required.|

Imageshack and photobucket both allow you to do this.
go ahead and try it if you dont beleive it.
its a pretty handy trick, though, specially for winning various contests or other forum related things since they wont have any record of it happening other than word of mouth, but than again, who trusts witnesses now a days anyways?
=P

You just have to know where to look. Demobot still got Arkyaeon beat, but it was a lot closer than the edits suggested (Assuming Ark's web server's clock is on NTP. Pretty sure imageshack is in Demo's case).
If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.
Correct, you just can not win the same forum game during the 8 weeks.
