the usual rules apply (i.e. don't vote for your own shot)
I hope I didn't forget anyone... if I did, let me know and I will add the picture

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

Voted for 5 "Duel" by my fellow countryman Paltmull, truly an excellent pic with both a heated battle in background as well as a really cool duel.

Hoppas du vinner! :beam:

[stratigos vasilios]

I've gone for 15, clash of the cattas. Although it was really difficult to vote for, some really good pics this month. I might use some of these pics for desktop pics, thier *that* good.

[SwissBarbar]

I voted for Number 9

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I voted for the one called "All Hail Makedonia".

[Fluvius Camillus]

Voted for SwissBarbar again. I really love the epic skies with droves of skirmishers below.

~Fluvius

[Jebivjetar]

15 here. Really epic moment, and those catas are just wonderful!

[Duguntz]

I loved the burning tower with the soldiers still climbing in it! Got my vote!

[DaciaJC]

Hroth's "In Germania" got my vote. It's very powerful despite there being no soldiers in the picture.

[Paltmull]

Voted for 5 "Duel" by my fellow countryman Paltmull, truly an excellent pic with both a heated battle in background as well as a really cool duel.

Hoppas du vinner! :beam:

Man tackar och bockar :bow:



Trying to decide which pic to vote for. This is a really tough one...

[Duguntz]

True, i'm being honnest when i say that i could have easily voted for each and everyone of them if it was allowed!

[Mizike]

Mine got some votes, yay! Though I sided with the plurality that liked 15 the best.

[vartan]

Why state your votes when they can be made public?

[J.R.M]

Clash of the catas, clash of the catas!!!

[Hooahguy]

whoa... swissbar should not be in this poll.
option #1 is now eliminated. sorry swissbar, i thought we told you to take down your picture.

[Nobo]

Why state your votes when they can be made public?
Well, the poll is private, because not everyone might want their vote to be public. That way the guys that want to stay anonymous can hide in the shadows and everyone else can just talk about their votes on here.


whoa... swissbar should not be in this poll.
option #1 is now eliminated. sorry swissbar, i thought we told you to take down your picture.
Since we left in all of the original screenshots, Swissbarbar didn't get to choose the best 10. So there really is no reason for him to be excluded from the poll

[SwissBarbar]

whoa... swissbar should not be in this poll.
option #1 is now eliminated. sorry swissbar, i thought we told you to take down your picture.

Have you gone mad with (whatever sort of) power, or why are you little fart commanding here, as if you were our mama? :laugh4: :laugh4:

[vartan]

Well, the poll is private, because not everyone might want their vote to be public. That way the guys that want to stay anonymous can hide in the shadows and everyone else can just talk about their votes on here.
Oh. I thought we couldn't vote for ourselves. Oh well. And I don't think Swiss is the one who forgot to cut out the HUD so...:inquisitive:

[Reno Melitensis]

Its between picture 5 and 15, nice duels, but in the end i voted for 15.

Cheers.

[Mediolanicus]

I completely miss the appeal of number 15. I think it looks like a children's drawing.

Hooahguy has the most cinematic screen. So he gets my vote.

[SwissBarbar]

Oh. I thought we couldn't vote for ourselves. Oh well. And I don't think Swiss is the one who forgot to cut out the HUD so...:inquisitive:

Yes you can vote for yourself. It's kind of a question of honour - you just don't do it.

[Fluvius Camillus]

Yes you can vote for yourself. It's kind of a question of honour - you just don't do it.

Indeed, those were the normal rules, don't know if that's also the case here.

I'd rather have a public poll, but that's my opinion.

~Fluvius

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

I completely miss the appeal of number 15. I think it looks like a children's drawing.
Hahaha! We have a lot of children here, you obviously forgot ...


Yes you can vote for yourself. It's kind of a question of honour - you just don't do it.
In either case, just don't brag about it. :clown:

[A Nerd]

I voted for Pobs entry, I like the calm before the storm feel and atmosphere. The most popular was nice too, it was my second choice.

[vartan]

Indeed, those were the normal rules, don't know if that's also the case here.

I'd rather have a public poll, but that's my opinion.

~Fluvius
That opinion is definitely shared. That being said, I find all pictures appealing. The first tops my chart though.

[Nobo]

I'd rather have a public poll, but that's my opinion.

~Fluvius


That opinion is definitely shared.


I don't think I can change the poll, after it's been started... so I guess whoever sets up the June poll should keep this in mind

[Paltmull]

:bump:

[athanaric]

Anyone else find it ironic that "All hail Makedonia" features a KH unit with KH heraldry?

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

Anyone else find it ironic that "All hail Makedonia" features a KH unit with KH heraldry?
It's a unit that he enabled for Makedonia. I did the same, and the "heraldry" fits just as well for Makedonia.

[Arthur, king of the Britons]

It's a unit that he enabled for Makedonia. I did the same, and the "heraldry" fits just as well for Makedonia.

Yeah, KH didn't have copyright for using Pegasos as a symbol at the time. :clown:

BTW Thank you for voting for my pic. :bow:

[Hooahguy]

Have you gone mad with (whatever sort of) power, or why are you little fart commanding here, as if you were our mama? :laugh4: :laugh4:

no, just cause i remember how things were done.
plus those were the rules which we all, including you, agreed on.
that said, im going to withdraw my screen from the competition.

[Paltmull]

Hooahguy: I'm largely responsible for the exception from the rules, and feel kind of guilty for this misunderstanding and you being upset. I've quoted the conversation from the screenshot competition thread, so you'll get what's going on.



EDIT: Btw, that thing about the winner of the last competition picking the 10 best pics, is that really necessary this time? Sure, if there had been like 20-25 screenshots that would be a good idea, but so far there are only 15. Would'nt really be nice to the five that got theirs eliminated, right? :P


We'll keep them all... as long as there are not 20 more that comes... if it's stays on this level, everyone will get a shot at it ;)


Intifadanyz thats awesome. I don't envy the judges at all, too many awesome pictures!


Everyone is judges. There's gonna be a poll. :)


No, there won't be a poll. They said, that the winner of the last competition (me) is going to judge (that's why I could not compete this time :no: )


Nah, you were supposed to pick the 10 best, and then there would be a poll. But since there aren't so many submissions, you won't have to pick any. Or so I think at least... As Duguntz said:

We'll keep them all... as long as there are not 20 more that comes... if it's stays on this level, everyone will get a shot at it ;)


So I can't do anything in this competition?


Well, I'm not responsible for the competition, but it seems logical that you can compete if you're not judging :) So I guess your picture will be in the poll, but I'm not sure of course.:sweatdrop:


of corse it will! as he dosen't judge anymore nothing forbid him now to participate! you're welcome Swissbarbar


Ueeee, yipie ^^

[Hooahguy]

alright, i understand. but i still want mine to be excluded from this poll.

the way it was always done is after the deadline for pics ended, the EB team would pic the ten best, then make a poll with those ten best.
but because it is quite clear that the EB team has either no interest/time for this, we decided that the winner of the previous competition should pick the top ten.
and because he would be picking, it wouldnt be fair if he also had a submission.
that is why i was so opposed to Swissbarbar having an entry.

[SwissBarbar]

no, just cause i remember how things were done.
plus those were the rules which we all, including you, agreed on.
that said, im going to withdraw my screen from the competition.

Well, yeah, but you could have asked nicely, and not just command what everyone has to do. No reason to be a sorehead now.

[vartan]

Which fool voted for my picture? It clearly deserves the Phail of the Month award! (=

[Paltmull]

When is the final date for this poll btw?

[vartan]

Doesn't look like it was given an expiry date. Foolish mistake on part of the creator, but forgivable.

[Hooahguy]

Well, yeah, but you could have asked nicely, and not just command what everyone has to do. No reason to be a sorehead now.

my apologies, didnt mean it to be so soreheaded. :bow:

[Benster]

Is it too late to submit a pic?

[Nobo]

Doesn't look like it was given an expiry date. Foolish mistake on part of the creator, but forgivable.

Yea, that's my bad. I couldn't find an end date in the original screenshot thread, so i left it open. In hindsight, not the best idea


Is it too late to submit a pic?

It is for this month, but I'm sure a June Screenshot Competition will spring up soon, so don't throw out your pics

[Benster]

aww alright im voting for hroth's in germania

[SarahL]

aww alright im voting for hroth's in germania

same here

[Duguntz]

Welcome to the forum Benster and Sarahl !:indian_chief::indian_chief:

[vartan]

Welcome you two.

P.S. When the heck are you guys going to stop procrastinating and start putting up the monthly screenshot threads a few days (maybe up to a week if it's not too hard...) before the start of the month? Lazy sons...

[Paltmull]

Uhm, i don't mean to be an ass or anything - and I'm not saying this for my own gain, as I won't win this competition anyway - but look at Hroth's votes. He must have gotten like 11 votes in one day. Am I the only one who smells cheating here? I sincerely apologize if this is not the case, but it does seem kind of suspect...

EDIT: This combined with two newly registered members; Benster and SarahL, admitting to have voted for Hroth's pic. SarahL has posted one time in the fora and that post says "same here" just above. I mean, come on!

EDIT2: Anyway, May is over. Shouldn't intifadanyz be declared winner?

[Benster]

I actually voted for the pic but IDk maybe he cheated
Is there a way to check if he cheated?

[Ludens]

At least two of those votes originated from Hroth alt accounts. I cannot see who voted, though. I'll check with the admins.

[SwissBarbar]

That would be pathetic. Didn't we just have a discussion about voting for ones own pic is just a no-go?

[Paltmull]

Hroth now has 17 votes, which means he will probably win unless he is disqualified.

He got pretty much all of his votes either today or yesterday.

EDIT: I checked the member list (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/memberlist.php?order=desc&sort=joindate&pp=30) to see if there had been an unusual number of new accounts registered, but it seems that you've got to have posted at least one time in the fora to be on the list. So if you've only registered an account and voted without posting, you won't be on the member list.

[Ludens]

Hroth now has 17 votes, which means he will probably win unless he is disqualified.

According to Ser Clegane, Hroth has registered sixteen accounts, most of them today. He's got one vote from Frontline and seventeen votes total. Hmm...

[Paltmull]

Omg, this is the most pathetic thing ever :laugh4:

Well, this is kind of a good argument for not having anonymous polls...

[Fluvius Camillus]

According to Ser Clegane, Hroth has registered sixteen accounts, most of them today. He's got one vote from Frontline and seventeen votes total. Hmm...

That's why I like public results, good for the next month!

Lowly cheating like this will get him disqualified, right?

Also, SwissBarbar, you should rehost your siggy from the other month.~D

~Fluvius

[vartan]

HRoth please stop spamming my inbox, asking me for technical help. I am not the tech support here. I'm a friggin' EB multiplayer gameplay activist. And reading the posts above...just makes me wanna tear your avatar to pieces! Argh!

[Nyz]

Not having integrity will make one not respect by others. What a childish way to win a competition...

[vartan]

Not having integrity will make one not respect by others. What a childish way to win a competition...
Perhaps. But for me personally this isn't about the competition. I just want people like HRoth to understand that I am not their tech support (along with whoever else he/she may have disturbed).

[jirisys]

Simple solution, diqualify for cheating,

In that case, congratulations intifadanyz, you're winning, i thing you'll make it to 1rst place :grin:

~Jirisys (:shame:)

[Hooahguy]

Hroth should be disqualified.
and swissbarbar, my photobucket is acting a bit strange on me lately, ill try to get your sig rehosted asap.

[SwissBarbar]

Also, SwissBarbar, you should rehost your siggy from the other month.~D
~Fluvius

oooooops, you're right. But i only had the link. New link pleaaase ;-)
Thank you Hooahguy

[Cute Wolf]

At least two of those votes originated from Hroth alt accounts. I cannot see who voted, though. I'll check with the admins.


According to Ser Clegane, Hroth has registered sixteen accounts, most of them today. He's got one vote from Frontline and seventeen votes total. Hmm...

LOL.... I start to wonder why he done that? too much drunk maybe?

EDIT : I think Intifadanyz will got this month's title...

[vartan]

Intif did you forget about anti-aliasing and co. ?

[Nyz]

Hmm you asked me? I am not sure, but I am playing EB on laptop, I just turn off all graphic detail.....

[vartan]

Hmm you asked me? I am not sure, but I am playing EB on laptop, I just turn off all graphic detail.....
A true shame. But completely understandable. I understand because I also run on a laptop, and if we put our laptops together we may be able to cook eggs...heat rises! :idea2:

[Nyz]

My laptop can only play M2TW and Broken Crescent in campaign map... and in battle map.... huh! :furious3:

hmm...I plan to buy a new PC after EB2 is out...

Ok back to topic... someone please announce June Screenshot Competition... we have no mood after been struck by a Malian...

For those that voted my SS, thank you very much for your support, whether you all declared it or not…. :bow: It is very ordinary picture with graphical setting were set at lowest level or turned off with no anti-aliasing and whatsoever....

[stratigos vasilios]

Congratulation intifadanyz! A worthy winner!

[vartan]

Proof that numbers do lie.

[Paltmull]

Congrats, intifadanyz :)
