Screenshot contest

martin · Post by **martin** » Wed Apr 02, 2003 3:37 pm

You probably noticed that most games of this kind sometimes start screenshot contests. I do not know if something like that ever took place in Illarion. However, I will start one now.

You didn't really think that I start an *ordinary* screenshot contest? Of course not. What I want to see is the ugliest screenshot you can produce. The criteria are:
* It has to be an Illarion screenshot (no fakes!)
* Except for the popular "patched" ground tiles the images should be the original illarion one!
* It should only show the playing area, not the surrounding interface (inventory etc.)
* Formats allowed are: jpg, png
* The images should be posted on the *graphics* board (NOT here!) or sent to me by e-mail: martin@illarion.org
* Posting or e-mail should include a short statement telling us WHY the screenshot is so ugly.
* A jury will determine which screenshot is the ugliest.
* Everyone in the jury is not allowed to participate in the contest.
* Every participant may only send 2 screenshots maximum!

From now on, you have 1 week to show your shots.

Wie ihr wahrscheinlich wisst, veranstalten die meisten Spiele dieser Art irgendwann einen Screenshot-Wettbewerb. Ich weiss nicht genau, ob es sowas in Illarion schon gegeben hat, jedenfalls will ich hiermit einen starten.

Wer geglaubt hat, dass ich einen stinknormalen Screenshot-Bewerb anfangen will, kennt mich nicht gut genug. Das mach ich freilich nicht. Was ich haben will sind haessliche Screenshots. Die Auflagen sind die folgenden:
* Erlaubt sind nur Illarion-Screenshots (keine fakes!)
* Ausser den beliebten "gepatchten" Bodentiles sind keine Veraenderungen an den Illariongraphiken erlaubt
* Es soll nur das Spielfeld, nicht das Interface (mit Inventory etc.) dargestellt sein
* Erlaubte Dateiformate sind nur jpg und png
* Die Bilder sollen am Graphik-Board und NICHT hier gepostet werden oder aber mir per E-Mail zugeschickt werden: martin@illarion.org
* Posting oder E-Mail sollen einen kurzen Text beinhalten, der erklaert, warum der Screenshot so haesslich ist
* Eine jury wird dann bestimmen, welchen Screenshot sie fuer den haesslichsten haelt
* Mitglieder der jury sind nicht Teilnahmeberechtigt
* Jeder Starter darf hoechstens 2 Screenshots einschicken!

Ab sofort ist der Bewerb eine Woche offen.

There will of course be a prize (which is secret by now) and "ugly" is what you consider to be ugly.

(Es wird natuerlich einen Preis geben (der noch geheim ist) und "haesslich" ist, was ihr "haesslich" findet. Das muss ich doch nicht erklaeren, oder?

Could it be a series of screenshots that make a story?

Every participant may only send 2 screenshots maximum!

Does that answer anything?...it would have to be a very short story

Thanks Ezo.

It's interesting that every question which arose here or in IRC was already answered in my first posting. Maybe you should really try to read it and ask afterwards.

Yes, reading, I've been hearing that a lot lately... I wonder what it is.

Hopefully I can have a good screenshot which I can submit, or an ugly one

Therefore the persons that are too lazy to read suck up the whole time of the people who hardly have any time, because they are reading anything and are therefore forced to write a reply that says the same as the initial posting.

I recently received a mail containing a 3-MB-bmp-image showing me the whole inventory etc. of the player.
PLEASE READ WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN!
I did not write this just for fun!
png or jpg, only the playing area without inventory etc.

What's so difficult about that? I thought it would be necessary to be able to read when you play illarion.

Who won, or did anyone win?

Due to a lack of participants I decided to let it fall asleep.
