SotW 1 (winner is Plissken)

[Icey]

I really liked Gleeok's clouds, and was thinking of voting for his, but in the end, I had to choose russadwan. His image is just conceptually very nice, it's very clean, and it stands out quite well.

[Russ]

Yay, I got another two votes! Plissken's is still twice as far ahead as mine, but at least I got six votes! Thanks to everyone who voted for me! You know, I swear I've seen Plissken's shot in a Pure ZC SotW before. Maybe we should make a rule that if you have entered a screenshot at Pure ZC's SotW, you can't re-enter it here.

Indeed.

Hey, I never knew that.

Okay, I'm jumping in.
Russadwan: Ever since they were introduced, I've never stopped hating those walls. The shadow is a bit dark, and the water... shouldn't it be blue (unless it's poisonous or something)? Blue water would add a nice bit of color to the screen so that it isn't all green.

You know, I've always loved those walls. I don't know why you dislike them. As for the shadow and the water, they have to remain that color because of the palette's limitations, and I don't feel like creating a whole new palette (not to mention I would completely mess it up). Besides, the wtere is transparent. It's the floor underneath it that's green.

Ditto. Sorry to the artist (ShadowTiger, I think), but I think they're ugly. Especially the grey mess on top.

Why?

[LostInHyru1e]

Cool, this place got a SoTW? Awesome!

But why wouldn't we be allowed to re-enter it here if it won over there?! I'm going to enter next week!(Probably with an old shot that I entered at Pure a while ago)

EDIT: By the way, voted for Pineconn, for obvious reasons. Second choice would've been Russ.

[Plissken]

Russ, same tileset =/= same shot. Go look for more than two seconds over at Pure's archive and you'll see that. I've seen almost everyone who regularly enters SotW over at Pure enter in different shots from a similar area or same style.

Thanks to everyone voting for me so far! It's great to be able to participate in the very first SotW somewhere.

EDIT: Wow, in fact I just realized. This is the first place anyone's seen that shot before. So please, don't think I just re-enter old winning stuff to...uh...I really can't think of a reason why I'd do it.

[Pineconn]

We won't allow previous PureZC SotW winners, but I have no problem with submissions from PureZC contests that did not win. After checking, Plissken won a SotW contest with a different, though similar, shot.

(EDIT 9/30/08: Whatever.)

BTW, we're still accepting screenshot submissions for SotW 2. I believe we have only one so far.

[Joe123]

*grumble*
Why not?

I mean, this contest isn't linked to PureZC's anymore than AGN is to PZC

[Pineconn]

Um, because they already won. It wouldn't be fair for other submitters to get screwed by a screen that has already been honored.

[Joe123]

Well there goes my plan for the next one ¬_¬

It's not very fair on the person entering it having their options cut down because of another, unrelated event.

Then again though, I can see where you're coming from
