Pretty much every week he entered, yes. But that's not the point, at least Relic usually deserved his wins. It's when badly made Pure Tileset JPG shots with a horrid custom palette win...

You and bobrocks are running Gemstone, and Amaster and Joe123 are running SotW. We'll be setting up a new user account specifically for Amaster, Joe, and myself (called "SotW") so we can manage the submissions more efficiently. We're having the screenshots be sent to all five of us temporarily.
Because we don't have a box at the main page for SotW, how about this: We make a thread called "Current SotW". It is just one post, and always contains the current SotW, and it's captions, and nothing else. Each week, we just edit the post to take the old SotW out and put the new one in. How does that sound?
Um, that's changed since then. You see, everyone now votes more wisely; I know, because my picture lost to LostInHyru1e's shot in SoTW 201:

Also, Relic has quit posting in SoTW, after being blamed for the constant stream of poorly designed shots that had above-average graphics. I can't blame him though; I'd do the same if I knew that I worked hard on everything in that shot to some together correctly in design, and others bash it by simply having shots with poor design and above-average graphics. I should know, as I am guilty myself, but I was younger then.
Also, sub-par?? How is the picture below sub-par, then? I got a 10 from Nathaniel in his review...:

Your graphics are nice, but I wouldn't vote for that shot. There's absolutely nothing there. No player, no npcs, no subscreen. Why don't you just draw one player tile and use the LoZ subscreen so your shots at least look complete?
Dear God, it's even worse now then when I left.
How does an empty, repetitive basic DoR shot win against an empty, but beautifully drawn shot?
Oh yeah, it's PZC. I forgot.
I think some people have decided not to vote for a shot if it isn't at least taken in Zelda Classic. Which I agree with.
But why? It's a screenshot contest. Bringing anything else other than how good the shot looks is illogical and anything other than the eye-candyness of the shot is completely irrelevant. Not voting for a superior shot for the sole reason that it wasn't taken in the player makes just about as much sense as saying "I played that demo, but I didn't like the music in that area, so I'm not voting for that screenshot no matter how good it is."
Not exactly. The music doesn't effect the way it looks. The lack of player, npcs, and/or enemies makes a screen look boring and unappealing.
