Oblivion Screenshot Competition #16: Supernatural

[DM8954]

It's time for another Screenshot Competition!

Here's how it works:

At the start of each competition, the rules will be stated in the first post and any changes from the standard set of rules will be shown in bold for emphasis, along with the Theme and the Deadline. The Theme is a word, phrase, or description that each entry is based on and will set the basis for judging at the end of the competition. Each user can submit one (1) screenshot each. When the deadline is up, the topic will be locked. A new poll will be created soon after the competition ends so that voting can begin.

Rules:

• Every entry must be the user's own work. (It cannot be downloaded from another website)
• Unless otherwise stated, it must be a screenshot from "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion"
• It can not be edited, color adjusted, or enhanced in any way (Especially, photo or graphics editing programs)
• You can resize, crop, and scale as necessary to get it to a reasonable screensize and filesize, as long as you're not attempting to enhance the image in the process, as that would violate the previous rule.
• You are allowed to re-use a screenshot you previously posted on the boards, as long as it follows all other rules and has never been used in any other competition before. (especially this one, of course)
• No off topic posting in the Competition topic. (Open discussion will be allowed in the Screenshot Competition Discussion topic)
• No profanity, offensive language, or adult situations. (All forum rules still apply here.)
• If you have any active mods in the scene (especially user-mods that affect the textures, clothing, or visual quality of the game), please list them in the text of your submission.
• Include a text description of your general location in Cyrodiil (nearest city; name of the cave, fort, or Ayleid Ruin; or questline) and a brief description of why you feel your picture fits the current theme.

This Competition's Theme is Supernatural
Go into Oblivion (or Cyrodiil) and take a picture (screenshot) of something truly supernatural. Post it here and see who's picture best fits the theme. Just do your best to capture the essence of the theme in the most creative way possible. We will have 2 weeks to take screenshots this time. Winners will have their image displayed for the world to see, so get out there and create an entry. Don't be shy. The deadline is Thursday 22 May 2008 at 7:00pm EST (4:00pm PST; midnight GMT; 10am the next day in Australia)

When the competition is over for the week the topic will be locked and a new poll will be created so we can all vote for a winner. Remember, only one entry each, so make it a good one. Since the competition is a long one, if you want to post a new entry your previous entry (in this same competition) will need to be deleted in order to replace the old one. So, if you post an entry and want it replaced but time ran out on editing the old one (24 hours), just post a second one, making sure to make a note that it is your new entry. I, or another moderator, will kindly delete your first entry for you. Feel free to repost your original entry on another appropriate board if you'd like. Good luck and have fun, everyone! Let's make it another good one.

No mods shown, although that Hiyoko shop mod is active. It was taken in the ruins of Sancre Tor. It fits the theme because the lighting from the runes plus the mist gave the area a surreal feeling. And it's a ghost, haha.

For the record, I took 65 shots for this contest. I didn't want to be the first one to post it, but ah, well.

[I got so busy that I completely lost track of this competition this time around. Not only did I forget to post; I almost forgot to close it. It started out so well, too. Sorry, everyone.]

The Oblivion Screenshot Competition #16 is now officially over.

Great Job xoxoxlovestinksxoxox! Congratulations! 

[xoxoxlovestinksxoxox]

Ah, well. Thank you very much!

Oh oops. I just wanted to post my own pic. Well, my apologies to everyone... the poll didn't work out.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

We could make a rare exception and extend the competition after the official deadline for the sake of a real competition and vote, if both you and xoxoxlovestinksxoxox agree to it. As it is now, she's officially the winner. If she's willing to put her crown (or belt, or title, whatever) on the line, we can add a few days to the competition and have an actual vote for a new winner. She might even still win.

Just let me know and I'll make it happen. If we include what would have been the voting period for this one, we technically still have 8 days to post new entries and then vote. It's just a matter of whether the fair and true winner wants to risk it all and have mercy on her opponents to give them another shot.

By the way, even if we extend it, I can't stick around to post anything, since I'm going out of town for a few days. I'll be able to come back and set up the voting images on Monday or Tuesday. So, xoxoxlovestinksxoxox, just tell us Yes or No to giving these late entries another chance.

After her response (and only after), no matter what it is, anyone interested can go ahead and post their entries. If she says YES, the contest is extended until 7:00pm Monday night and voting will commence as soon as I get back. If she says NO, we still want to see what you would have posted, even if it doesn't count. Late participation is still participation and it might keep interest alive for the next one.

[Igiss]

No, no, leave it as is.

I'll try to participate in further contests in time

[xoxoxlovestinksxoxox]

Awe. I feel so important. YES. PLEASE extend. I hate winning by default. I don't feel as accomplised. XD I insist.
