Geez, Tiger.
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
Haha, awesome.
Now THAT was a pounce if I ever saw one.

What's sad is that they posted the twitter announcement for the contest 1 minute after tigers post.

Your speed at figuring these out is as ever amazing.
I'm gonna have to dig into the much harder puzzles soon in an attempt to draw it out a bit.
Congrats Blazing Tiger, please let me know which code you would like!
Ocho, the past trend has been to post the first screenshot at 1:00 Eastern, I believe. You started this way too early. And screenshots are usually Mondays O.o
-10am (PST) Wednesdays. I created it ahead of time but did not make it visible until the correct time. Mondays are the Word Search. -theOcho
that was fast!

The big thing, I think, was the laser-lines in the ceilings/blue streaks - those are pretty unique to Pocket D - and you could also see the red ones. I saw the blue lines and said to myself "That's the D".

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Yeah, even I knew what it was when seeing it right away and thought to myself that I finally have a chance! Then I scrolled down to the next post, haha. Back to lurking, waiting to pounce on one I recognise again.
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:
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.
