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.

The bit showing at the top center is the giveaway.

I think simply obscuring part of the shot with bubbles isn't hard enough.

I think the Ocho needs to step up his game.

I always find it hillarious that even for prizes worth "0.00$" I still can't participate (I know why, it's not a problem. I just find it funny)

You can't do math Thorny?

EDIT: Oh, that's right. Canadian rules leave out people from Quebec because they pwn the rest of the country at math so they consider it unfair to allow them to compete. Or something like that.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

I saw a clockwork code go for $60 on ebay yesterday. It would have gone for $61 if my room mate's connection to his ebay account didn't time-out with ten seconds left to go. And to get that code from him, I'd have to write a song dedicated to his girlfriend (easily worth $3,000 for all the editing necessary to make his singing sound good).

Ocho the players are too good .

I wanna see a screenshot of the wall of a random building near the back of boomtown with 0% uncovered as the first pic so we can prove the crazy RL superheroes really are psychic or technopaths
