2 separate categories?

[Moros]

I thought he was being sarcastic.

They've repeatedly said they won't do it. Maybe if you catch one of them right after they got laid.

Too bad, cause lately I'm really wandering if the "passer" is dead for real.

[NeoSpartan]

YES!!!!!!!

Because currently we are comparing "apples to tomatoes". With 2 categories we can now compare "apples to apples" and "tomatoes to tomatoes".

[Zaknafien]

Nope

It is a disgraceful depth to which you sink, Hooah, in order to increase the chances of your winning the screenshot of the month competition.
You have insulted other members, complained without foundation, made outrageous proposals, and very bluntly whinged in such a child-like way I could near picture a spoiled boy typing your posts.

Yet I can advise you most stongly, that if you were to win this competition, whether to the aid of your pleas or not, there are none here who would think any better of you, nor envy your throne any more than you yourself would do.
And for this reason, this most dishonourable behaviour is more damaging to your reputation and influence, that it is succoring to your ambitious victory.

Do not continue on this path any longer.

Lol, are you for real? I think your describing yourself in that answer imo. I voted yes, edited screenshots aren't EB, your making the images of EB something they're not, which shouldnt be allowed. Were battles ever in black and white with pefect sunglares? No... they weren't.

[Pharnakes]

Don't se what all the fuss is about - if the eb team won't make an offical one, make one yourselves, they surely won't object?

BTW, voted yes, it is unfair to bias in favour of prople with superior video editing programs/skills.

[Thaatu]

I voted no. First of all, I like to have an excuse when I lose. Second, taking a good screenshot already requires high graphic settings and muchos muchos luck. What I would like to see is a screenshot competition from which Blank is banned.

A bit harsh man, however true.

it is natural of the human behavior to want to win.
and i never said blank couldnt enter his screens- i just want it fair, as in, if there wont be 2 separate categories, . i cant afford a program such as photoshop, and GIMP i cant use very well..... but i will have to learn.

And btw, I am not by any stretch of the mind spoiled… I am 2nd of 5 boys…… I am anything but spoiled.

[Hooahguy]

and dont tell me u never entered a competition to win! its only natural. im just speaking up for the little guys- the ones who are bad a photo editing, and who enter real, unedit, pure screens. ya, i know, i tried photo editing, but it didnt work- from now on until further notice, im entering non-edited screens. and most seem to agree with me, since as of now(10:33 AM, 10/16/07), there are 40 yeses, and only 20 nos.

[The_Mark]

Sigh. Let's just say that I prefer natural over silicon, discreet amounts of makeup over skin-colored woad and poise over movement disorders. If I find it disturbing, I won't go for it. Some guys will, but, well, whatever floats your boat. I still won't go around separating one from the other based on looks (unless truly horrendous), though I can't stand utter stupidity nor unprovoked silliness.

Interesting argument tactic. Twist the motives of those who disagree with you into something that sounds selfish and demeaning. Personally, I'm proud of hooahguy for reacting as he did to your excessive post. You need to cool down mate. Here's a balloon.

Where has he done any of this? He made a simple, polite suggestion that the majority of the community agrees with.

Balloons to blank too for being a good sport.

[Hooahguy]

thanks for supporting me, TW- appreciate it!
heres a balloon back!

[Moros]

Let us not get angry on each other. Or we'll be voting for no screenshot competition.

[Puupertti Ruma]

Voted no. Blank has won 2 times in a row because his pics are awesome, not because he photoshops them. Usually people just spoil their good and fine pics by extensive photoshopping. Also I think there could be the problem of not enough participants to either of those categories.

And for the record, I personally haven't voted for Blank once, though came close with the bastarnoz, it's really a great pic, with or without the PSing.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Too bad, cause lately I'm really wandering if the "passer" is dead for real.

Ai. Arm musje...

[Geoffrey S]

I'd say no, only a category for unedited pictures.

But more seriously, personally I dislike heavy photoshopping of RTW images in most cases. It makes them something they aren't and is often poorly done; graphically they may be better than unedited shots, but suffer from poor composition and would possibly be uninteresting without heavy editing. Exceptions there certainly are, such as Blank's entries which I have found consistently excellent, but to be honest I think I'd even have liked those without edits.

To be honest, I don't care particularly either way. I dislike heavy editing, but if other people like such shots enough to vote for them then it's no business of mine...
