SotW Announcements and Discussion

[Ventus]

Um... yeah we still one more entry to start.

So... If we can get one or more entries soon it'd be really awesome. :3
And if one of us don't get the poll up tonight I'm sure we can start it up in tomorrow.

We still need two more entries to start Screenshot of The Week 12!

Did you get mine?

I'd like to announce that we are going to be trying out a new feature. You can now optionally submit a large version of your SotW entry along with the standard entry sized shot. It can be up to 512 pixels wide which is the width of a screenshot taken in ZQ in large mode with the menus and such cropped out. You must enter a normal size screenshot or the large version will be shrunk to typical SotW size resulting in quality loss. Your large shot must be the same shot as the normal entry(within reason as we all know npcs move and sprites don't appear in ZQ). SotW will look the same but if you entered a large version your entry will act as a link or thumbnail to it. This is on a trial basis so if it all goes to hell it will be cut.

I'd like to also remind you all that AGN SotW has no voting etiquette. Everyone has a vote to use as they wish. If you entered the contest and wish to vote for yourself DO IT! If you want to vote for someone else or not vote that is fine too. Let's also see your opinions and reasons for your vote. We get a lot more votes than we do replies. Comments are encouraged! The only thing we ask is that you give what my HS Creative Writing teacher called "soft criticism." Which just means say things like "I am not fond of the way you used those mountains." instead of "You used those tiles wrong and it looks like shit!"

I voted for myself once, like the very first picture, and I felt silly for it. So I didn't do it afterwords. I also won't reach the attitude of "if I don't vote for myself, other people will vote themselves", but felt that was rather immature.

So since we can vote our own images, I will start on the reasoning that I should stand up for any image I believe in, but granted, at the same time, if I feel the competition's image is better, I will vote for the one I believe deserves the vote.

The way I see it is if you think you should win then vote for yourself.

Just a reminder that we still need at least one shot in order to start the next Screenshot of the Week. If someone does end up submitting a shot we still encourage you to enter!

[SUCCESSOR]

Just a reminder, SotW is still on track though it has been slow and not running so smoothly. Don't forget to turn in your shot!

We may have forgotten about SotM! My bad! Getting it up ASAP!

We need shots in order to host Screenshot of the Week 14!
