The Org Arena Screenshot Challenge - Win a $50 PC Game!

Welcome to The Org Arena Screenshot contest!

https://img852.imageshack.us/img852/...enacontest.jpg

The winner will receive a $50 game of their choosing!

The Screenshot Voting Phase Has Begun! Go to this thread for the first poll and this thread for the second poll to vote for your favorite screenshots!

Submit a screenshot that best captures a moment of fierce action, dramatic explosions, or just a serene and beautiful landscape and that winner could be you!

In order to mark the release of Total War: Shogun 2, The Org is sponsoring this contest to highlight the creativity of our members and see what exciting images they can capture.

So go play some of your favorite games and show us all why a picture is worth a thousand words!

This is the submission thread, so please post your entries below (after taking a couple minutes to read the rules), though please put any screenshots over 800x600 pixels in a spoiler.

Rules:

• The contest has now started and will run until April 18, 10 pm Pacific Standard Time. All entries must be made before then.
  
• Screenshots must be your own.
  
• Each member can submit two screenshots (no creating double accounts for more entries).
  
• No photoshopping except for cropping and censor bars to hide personal information, character information from online games, or profanity.
  
• Screenshots can be from any game, but must comply with The Org forum rules: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...-The-Guild-FAQ
  
• To decide the winner, all entries will be split evenly among several polls, if necessary, for members to vote on. The top 10 screenshots from these polls will be put in one final poll for members to vote on. Husar and I will act as judges in the event of a tie.
  
• All members participating must have at least 10 posts to their credit by the time the contest is over.
  
• No cheating, exploiting the rules, or otherwise interfering with the contest in any way.
  
• The game must be chosen from an online game selling service that allows people to gift games to other peoples (ex Steam), and must cost fifty United States dollars ( 50 USD ) or less before taxes. This service must allow someone living in the United States to gift games and must be completely legal in the United States.

Best of luck to everyone!

I've always liked this screenshot from EB. An army all set and ready for action with one lone slinger nonchalantly strolling to join the rest.

My first screenshot, taken from Mass Effect 2.
I call it "Uninvited Guests."

Ah, EVE always produces the best screenshots. I'll see if I can grab another from one of the strategy games I play before the deadline.

An old favorite of mine. I wish i had taken this on my new computer, then it could be all maxed out and everything.

what game is that? it looks beautiful

I'm guessing Afrika.

Yep. Afrika, hence the name "Afrikan Sunset". It's a nice game about photography. I've taken quite a few nice pictures in it, like this one (note: not a contest entry).

I have one question about the rules, and it's a big one...

No photoshopping except for cropping.

In regards to personal/character privacy or profanity, would it be reasonable for someone to photoshop in this case? Specifically censor bars. This would help with screenshots from online games which the poster does not want to reveal their (or their friends') names, and allowing the poster to submit screenshots with profanity in their pictures without breaking the Org's rules.

Just for fun:

Good question. Such censoring would be acceptable.
