Screenshot the Spot!


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

Hello, hello and welcome to the 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 the character present in the screenshot. 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 the character present in the screenshot.

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.

yah when i saw the above picture i was tempted to just post /thread cause that has to be dead on.

Soo Ocho is there any other way for people to win these? I was one of the main people asking the developers for costume codes to be made more accessible and have been after a Ring Mistress code forever now with no luck

A nice variation on this would be to pick a person randomly from those who takes a given screenshot. That way, it isn't always, first come first serve (not to say that some shouldn't, but more are than not right now).

Also, some more "subjective" contests like the caption one might be nice. Perhaps invert the caption game. Give us a caption, and we give you the screenshot.

"The most comfortable place in the Rogue Isles."
And then judge the screen which exemplifies that phrase.

or

"Worst place to be without a travel power."

"PPD break at the Donut Shop."

Well looking at theOcho's reply to the ss poster, and the fact that no more unveiled ss' have been posted and now that its past 4pm pst I'd say those are all good indicators that, yes the first poster won in a short time of the contest going up.

btw I like these ideas. They sound interesting. Really want more chances at winning the Ring Mistress costume code. If I were ingame rich I'd offer to buy one from a winner.
