Ever been on a team and something totally weird happens? Then you’re like, “let me take a screenie!!” I know I have!
Well what if you were given the chance to present some wild screen shots that you’ve taken, to win in a themed category?

To win, your screenshot must fit perfectly into any of the ten categories below.* As well as making sure your screenshot is submitted before 11:59 pm Eastern June 28th 2010. Once you do that, all you have to do is to wait on our team of critical judges to see who “Captured That!”

*Please keep in mind we are not judging the quality of the shot, but how best it represents the category!




1. Crazy Death (Can be anything that can die!)

2. Stupid NPCs (Those dang NPCs doing crazy things!)

3. Ragdoll Physics Gone Wrong!

4. Best Scenery

5. I spit out my drink when this happened...

6. It's Party Time!

7. I laugh at the target cap! (best use of an AoE)

8. Oops Trigger Finger! OR WTH just happened?!

9. There is no "I" in Team! (teamwork or super group photo)

10. Best Cut Scene Dialogue or Emote



All screenshots must be submitted by June 28th 11:59 PM Eastern

Screenshots can be submitted in any of the following ways:

• You can either reply to this thread with your image, or on the Player Events thread.

• However, if you cannot host your own image, e-mail your shot to perc.coh@gmail.com, make sure in the message you tell us your forum name and server so we may post it in the correct area.



• Edited screenshots will be disqualified.
• You can compete in as many categories as you desire
• You must label the shot. (IE Death Shot, Stupid NPCs, etc.) If not labeled, then they will not be judged.
• If you e-mail your shot without your forum name and server, you are subject to disqualifications if you do not reply with that information.

2 of the 10 sketches will be randomly picked to be colored!

Protector, you're not going to enter?

The winners of that post were contacted privately.

We would enter but where are we going to find a screenie of a crazy death around here?

I see where our confusion comes from with regards to that contest... from the rules itself:

6. Drawing winner will be announced on Sunday, March 28th, 2010
Thanks for clarifying it.

Ahh, see I understand where the confusion came from.

The drawer winner is for the event's overall prize. The time card. All servers were placed into the drawing, just not Protector. If someone from Protector won the card, I would have made that clearer than crystal! hehe.

LOTG was merely an enticement to get more people to take the survey. (There was a side bet with the PERC people on which server would participate the most. If I remember correctly, we came in 2nd.) I didn't want to announce the winners of the LOTGS in precaution of: "You're friends with Stale!" or "I've seen you play with Kyo many times before!"

Any ways, sorry about that confusion.

By the way, these weren't the winners just an example.

We can set up a date in the PVP zone, and you can kill me and take pictures of it? See how crazy it can look?

Now I'm confuzzled. You do realize who you quoted, don't you? The master mind behind such things as Blowing up Kronos with Steel Canyon fire? A simple killing in a PvP zone is finding Lord Recluse in a tug'o'war over a handbag in Atlas Park.

Valk, I think censoring any personal information is fine, let me double check with the Chairs.

Well he said he wanted a crazy death, as long as I don't influence the judging I'm sure it's fine and won't be disqualified.

Is there a time frame that the screen shot needs to be in? I.E. screen shots from 5 years ago?

I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.

I mean I'm sure he wouldn't care and I'll ask him regardless, but I was just wondering.
I'm going to say, that as long as you don't alter it in any ways besides censoring personal information, it's fine.

After scouring through my archives I realize that I must have lost more than I thought in a previous crash. Gone were the ones with various people in the cut scenes. If anyone has some pics of that time we all managed to sneak into the Lord Recluse cut scene please pass them on over.

Also I wasn't sure if you could enter the same category more than once. If you can't please take my first Crazy Death Screenie of Kronos. I think it says Protector better than the other one.

Here are some of my other favorites I found:

1) Crazy Death- Kronos beaten by Fire!

2)Crazy Death- Some say we sacificed this player to the Gods, in truth we did it to the Devs.

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6-22-21-47.jpg

3) Stupid NPCs- I think the box was marked helium.

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...4-00-05-15.jpg

4) Ragdoll Gone Wrong..- This had to have hurt

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...4-11-14-46.jpg

5) Best Scenery- Love this zone and all its little wonders

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...2-19-38-48.jpg

6) I Spit My Drink Out When...-Entering the Blue Room

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...3-08-23-21.jpg

7) Its Party Time- Dancing with Cuppa Joe and friends

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...8-23-02-42.jpg

8)I Laugh At Target Cap- Nuke Him!

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...0-20-19-19.jpg

9)There is no I in Team-Swimsuit Hami Raid

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...6-20-34-06.jpg

10) Best Cut Scene- Its been said before and will be said again...

Honestly, I like some of the second place ones way more than the first place ones...

City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.
