OSC#18 Voting

[DM8954]

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

The theme for the Oblivion Screenshot Competition #18 was: Mad Alchemist.
The competition page is here: Oblivion Screenshot Competition #18: Mad Alchemist

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 (Thursday, 31 July 2008), 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.

I voted for Igiss because I think that was the one that most exemplified the term 'alchemist.' And although it wasn't really 'mad,' the scene does seem a little strange for a common shop.

DM8954 gets my vote. Captures the theme.

i agree with mystical....i voted for igiss....cuz whatever is going on in that shop, it ain't good.

I voted for Alcron because I like the way his shot quite literally portrays the theme. I like literal..-lity...-ness.

Voted for Igiss! The lighting was nice (haha) and it fits the theme awesomely.

(I applaud DM8954 for being brave enough to tick off that guy, though. I hate fighting mages. ^^;)

The winner of the eighteenth Oblivion Screenshot Competition is Igiss.

I'm glad to see more entries again this time. Lets keep this competition going strong. Great first entry Igiss!

Winners will continue to be displayed on the Screenshot Competition Winners & Participants page.

Good job everyone. The next competition might be delayed a few days until the beginning of next week. Keep submitting suggestions for themes in the Screenshot Competition Discussion thread. They will be used eventually.
