Halloween Screenshot Overflow

thenamesdomino

This discussion was created from comments split from: Happy Halloween Everyone! Do you believe in ghosts?.

Making this thread so we can keep the contest thread for entries only. Ask all questions and leave comments here! To reiterate,

1. You may have more than one entry but please try to keep all entries in the same post
2. 11x17 is so that we can see all the gruesome detail, no small screenshots please
3. I can be bribed
4. BathroomToast is the most amazing food product known to creation. It has nothing to do with Racing to do Bathroom Business before your toast is ready. That's just silly.

Taking something as simple as a picture never displays the full terrors of the night.

Nightmare mount? Do you by any chance mean Midnight?
and this is Nightfall, in case anybody ish curious...

Time to go search for the scary places

PS, talking with others about this event, we have different view on this event: Should the picture be from PWI (ingame) or real life image?​​

What does it mean 11x17 as in "Photographs must be 11x17" rule??

Instructions unclear, **** stuck in toaster

I *think* since it asks us to list the server and location we are talking about in game screenies.​​

To clarify a little, The photos need to be from in game. We are however, encouraging creativity so get your image editing software at the ready.

and 11x17 is the typical dimension for your standard Landscape image. IE: We don't want your screenshots to be so small we cant see the ghastly detail

I really can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

So, I just HAD to look that up.....
Either I get a video game, or this...

It's a new fad. The basic idea is that people race against a toaster to complete various bathroom activities. For example, can you brush your teeth before the toast pops? Can you do your hair? Can you take a full bath?

It is easily turned into a gambling game, using the **** on the toaster (1 for a very fast round, 10 for a very long round that blackens the toast; more cred for beating the toaster set at lower levels) and the expected performance of the "athlete" to determine the odds.

This new trend is dangerous for several reasons, not the least of which is that it promotes illegal gambling among kids. Participants as young as 11 have been captured on hidden camera as part of a Dateline NBC special. The game can pose health hazards as well. For example, just last year a group of toast players nearly perished when the toast popped up right out of the toaster and landed on the awkwardly-placed "Controlled Implosion of Structure" button in the middle of the bathroom floor. Thankfully, the teens involved sustained only minor injuries

I wish I was creative enough for this. Sounds like fun! Good luck to those who enter. I'm looking forward to the entries (especially after the great fashion contest photos). I love the enthusiasm you're showing Domino. You get a

I enjoying editing pictures a lot, though my entry is my first attempt using screenshots from a game, rather than photographs. I can't wait to see more of what others are entering.

Just an idea for folks, might want to use images from the faction base trials if you have saved them or ask friends to send them to you, those pictures can make excellent back drops, or the mobs/bosses there.​​

Why don't you just say "don't use images that were meant for ants"
Or anything as in minimal resolution of 640x480 or whatever, 11x17 is a photograph format, i've never seen someone refer to that way of saying a minimum requirement for a resolution of a screenshot to be honest ​​

Yeah, I wondered about that. I imagine they want to use it for some advertising or pinups in the office.

At 300DPI, that would be 3300x5100. (standard resolution)
At 600DPI, that would be 6600x10200 (Ultra)
At 150DPI, it's 1650x2550

Also, that's not widescreen, but vertical. Which is additionally odd.​​

I see, I understand what they are on to, quick, everyone open that screenshot menu in PWI and set zoom to the highest possible setting!
Just... wait a while until it's done saving the screenshot, though, lol.
Depending on your connection you also might want to wait a bit before it's uploaded after that.
As I remember, that settings makes gigantic screenshots.​​

Looks like it's still limiting your account. It may do that for a bit. Vanilla is a bit silly. I'll fix your post up if I can, or quote it if I cannot.​​

I verified your account, but it might be a bit before you can post links. If you put the url to the image in your post, I'll work on fixing it up for you. I've done something similar for a few people already.
If it doesn't let you post hyperlinks at all, put the url in with a couple of well placed spaces. "http: //www. photobucket .com/image..." for example.​​
