OSC #9 Voting

[DM8954]

It's time to vote for which screenshot best portrays the competition theme.

The theme for the Oblivion Screenshot Competition #9 was: Terror.
The competition page is here: Oblivion Screenshot Competition #9: Terror

Any member of Cyrodiil forums can vote once whether you entered the competition or not. If you have an entry in the competition it is strongly recommended that you don't vote for yourself. Not only is that a pretty arrogant thing to do but it is rude and could potentially skew the voting. Besides, if everyone voted for their own entry, then only the votes of those who did not participate would count. Everyone be honest and vote for the screenshot that best fits the theme.

Try not to take the "quality" of the image into account too much. No one should win just because they have a more powerful computer and run higher settings. Think of this as an in-game photography contest. Consider, mood, composition, balance (stuff like that if you know about photography), but above and beyond any other consideration: does this entry most make me think about this rounds theme?

It's not a requirement but please tell us who you voted for and why. You can also tell us what was most important to you and what could any of the entries could have done to be better.

The poll will expire in 7 days (Wednesday, 7 November 2007), that's all the time you have to make your decision. After that, I'll leave the poll open for the announcement of the winner, congratulation posts, and any additional comments and discussion of the entries.

Very tough choice this time, all good Terror screens. I ended up voting for Mystical's entry.
The positioning of the doggy is nice, and the gloom and spookiness of the whole scene, not to mention the door itself is straight out of a nightmare.
I especially had trouble picking between Crono's entry and Mystical's because one is (for me) most terrifying when experienced in the game, and the other is (again, for me) the scariest image just by itself - that is, if I pretend I don't know the game and the dog isn't there as a pet.

Really good screenshots everyone!

stiff competition this time, but my vote went to DM8954.  i like the way it captures the onslaught of multiple higher level opponents while dealing with deadly 'environmental hazards'...cool screenie

I voted for Paragon, I remember when I first saw those types of corpses… I thought WTF…

The winner of the 9^th Oblivion Screenshot Competition is Paragon.

Obviously, since we had to have a tie-breaker vote, it was a very close battle this time around. We had 5 great entries and lots of fun capturing the essence of Terror found in TESIV. Congratulations to the winner!

Good going, Paragon! Keep it up!
