Emergency Code: Screenshot Winners and Participant list

http://meji.se/pso/screenshothead1.gif

Alright, the judging has been done. I would like to thank everyone who entered the contest! There were some good screenshots. Below I have listed all participants, since there were only 18 participants, in order of the score they obtained, however I will no post the scores themselves in public. I also added a comment of my own to each picture. This is just what I saw when I was judging the pictures. If any of the other judges wants to come out in public and post comments of their own then they are free to do so. Also major thanks to you judges, couldn't have done it without you all~

ACTION

Bardiche

Spoiler!

Congratulations on winning the action category! Awesome shot of beating up good ol' Snow Banshee. The explosive "Cresent Moon" effect looks like it's one hell of an uppercut and is for me a very good addition to the total picture.

Zyrusticae

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...Zyrusticae.png
This picture is my personal favorite of the action category. It looks amazing how Zyrusticae is fighting off the darkers here. Also smart use of the other character as NPC, fighting evil together and I love the effect the mag gives right before the photon blast initates.

mommy_cornelia

Spoiler!

The "Wired Lance Queen" in action, the Heavenly Fall really comes to its right in this picture, poor Oodan. Also I'm a sucker for effects that look like Lightning/Thunder so thats a little bonus.

Amaranthus

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...Amaranthus.jpg
First of all, the scenery...Ruins is the best looking area in the game if you ask me, specially at "night". Great useage of the scenery. As for the character and the effect where it looks like she gets pushed back reminds me a bit of Black Rock Shooter somehow. It could be straight from an anime.

Zenobia

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...st/Zenobia.jpg
All I can say is: Poor Ragne. It pretty much explains the picture itself. Over End is so awesome, often looks and acts like an overkill.

Mysterious-G

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...sterious-G.jpg
Ok it's very hard to see what exactly is going on in this picture for me. This King Varda that gets a serious beating up during the Vardha EM quest I think, hard to see when they are infected. The weapon/PA effects looks beautifull though..I love that stuff. I hope he dropped you something nice!

Rika-chan

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../Rika-chan.jpg
One little girl fighting off the Dark Ragne alone, pushed in a corner, sorta looks like a "Last Stand" for me. Both Rika and Ragne looked like they used their final attack in an epic battle. Fireball vs razor sharp red disks, I wonder which one won...?

Syklo

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...test/Syklo.jpg
Alot of effects in this one, the blurring also makes it harder to get a nice sharp shot of the character. That aside this picutre looked pretty cool to me, I love the effect that PA gives and I still think its the best looking Double Saber PA in game.

Valkyrie Lovrina

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...rieLovrina.jpg
More blurring and PA effects, this time from Messiah Time. I like the total combination of this picture though. The sky looks like its about to start raining, Lovrina herself matches that colour a bit and the Dinians arround also match the colour. Its a great match if you ask me.

Xenokey

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...st/Xenokey.jpg
Ahhh my eyes! So red! It sure looks like a bloody mess here, also a bit hard to see what exactly is happing here but I think this is the Elder battle where elder is throwing out his meteors and one just exploded on the field, nice timing to get this all red effect. I'd wonder where the megids came from though, the effects look nice from a distance.

Big Olaf

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...st/BigOlaf.jpg
That's one way to clear your path of these pesky darkers. Slide End makes short work of stuff here it seems. The fire element of the weapon makes for nice little addition details. Overall a nice picture of our daily work as Arks.

Evilmag

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...st/Evilmag.png
Another Over End shot, the picture is very dark but the bright light of the Over End looks pretty neat. Did you manage to kill that Fly?

Megalomax

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../Megalomax.jpg
I seriously have no idea what is going on here and no idea what to say either as well...Sorry

FUNNY

Amaranthus

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...aranthus-1.jpg
Congratulations on winning the Funny category! My favorite from the Funny Category and it seems I wasn't the only judge who thought that. Ama-chan managed to get an almost perfect score with this picture. I'm not sure what exactly the intention was with this picture but I believe Ama-chan is trying to secretly eat some of the cake and got busted by a friend. The face Ama makes is pretty much priceless

Mysterious-G

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...erious-G-1.jpg
D'awwww isn't that cute? Gwanadha just wants to hug. At least this Gwanadha gains some loving...unlike all his cousins that get slaughterd over and over for its rares. Nice idea and the scenery arround this picture looks great, I always liked the city.

Resanoca

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...t/Resanoca.jpg
"Ohsht" is what comes to mind when I see this picture. Resa just pissed of an Banshee which was having a winter sleep. Better run for it buddy!

Ezodagrom

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../Ezodagrom.jpg
Another of my favorites. It looks like Banshee and Santa-Ezo are racing together. I hope Santa-Ezo won, that Frozen Tuna looks like a very fast vehicle to me.

LinkKD

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...est/LinkKD.jpg
Well I personally have no idea what this is about, but it looks like something from a Anime/Game. To bad that room deco doesn't move you when you are on top of it. How long did it take you to collect them all though?

Sealco555

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../Sealco555.jpg
A peacefull St. Rappy singing christmas songs, not knowing some people are not amused by christmas songs...that Rappy just sang its last note...R.I.P. Rappy.

Dragonlily

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...Dragonlily.jpg
I kinda expected to get more shots of the visual bugs that haunted the server for 2-3 weeks. Lily looks like an alien here and I have no idea what the hell is wrong with Patty either...its creepy enough though.

Big Olaf

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../BigOlaf-1.jpg
Nassie giving someone a very lovely view from under her dress. Simple and yet still funny.

Valkyrie Lovrina

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...eLovrina-1.png
Lovrina is roasting her Tuna in the caves. Another simple yet funny entry. I hope it tasted good.

Rika-chan

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...ika-chan-1.jpg
I have once again no real idea what is going on with this picture. Rika-chan seems to have a good time with her friends and making fun of something.

Xenokey

Spoiler!

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r.../Xenokey-1.jpg
A rappy plotting something evil. Better keep an eye out for this one!

Thanks everyone once again. This was my very first event and I hope to be able to host another in the future. So Bardiche and Amaranthus, Congratulations! Please contact me through PM to receive your Webmoney Code which you can use to obtain 1000 AC.

Congrats to the winners!

Congrats to the winners!! I can't believe I'm the only one that submitted a glitched shot for the funny side lol. Ah well, I still got a laugh out of it! As well as the other shots that are up there. Good job everyone!!

O hey, nice pictures :3

and congrats to the winners, nice shots there ^^

Oh, snap, those are some really nice pi-

Ah, screw it. I was a judge. :V

GJ on the event Ce'Nedra!

And GJ Everyone, there are some good pics there.

Bardiche's catch was really a good one and Ama's expression is really priceless, lol.

I just figured right now I could've posted this on the action part I guess <_> :

Spoiler!

http://i47.tinypic.com/2mesv7l.jpg

but I thought it wouldn't count for not having any enemies and also because I didn't know how old it was...I think it wasn't too old though. Either way, it wouldn't have won from Bardiche's anyway =w=.

and uhm, my Funny pic is a parody of this:

Spoiler!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBe9H...?v=cBe9HZ1wnrw

I actually didn't gather all those mills, I just happen to have a friend that often likes to put mills in my room, and when I cleared the room to enlarge/change themes, she used that chance to fill the room with all those mills =w='' and I came up with the idea.

also, MysteriousG's funny pic was cute, while Sealco's was just heartless ;-;

Nice news to hear after a day of being sick in bed. It's the cake on top of all the Christmas CO tundra runs that makes the uncountable number of Slide Uppers worth it.

I love Ezodagrom's funny entry. It looks ridiculously awesome enough to make all the trouble I imagine getting it right worth it.
My favourite action entries are Amaranthus', Zenobia's and Big Olaf's.

Randomly this was something I would have liked to enter if it was actually eligible, but sadly it wasn't.

I see what you did there.

Congrats to all the winners & participants (yay, congratulating myself -w-)
I'm still not finding the "funny" winner, funny though....(no offence), i still don't get it ^^;

Nice entries everyone and congratulations to the winners, both the winners were well deserving. ^^

It was kinda accidental, my original goal was to get a picture of me barely escaping from a banshee attack while surfing the tuna, but when checking the pictures I took, I noticed that racing one and thought it was the better of the bunch. :3

EDIT: Another picture that I took when trying to get a picture for the contest (it was almost the one that I was going to use for the contest), I guess this one is the aftermath of the race, Ezo is celebrating the victory and Banshee is in the back sulking. :>

Spoiler!

http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...004628_059.jpg

Ahahaha, that happens. I originally wanted a different sort of angle myself.

Hehe, I'm not surprised I didn't win, those were screens that I half-assedly threw together in a semi-rush just to have some sort of entry. I still don't think I would have won, even if I would have "tried". Those other entries are just too good.

Thank you, that's nice to hear.

Alternatively, I was also considering one of these two for the 'action' category.

Spoiler!

However, I don't think the first one (Nassanta Claus & Santawuts) was all too 'action-y'.

I almost submitted this shot when I did the glitched one. Now idk lol. Wondering if I should've stuck with this shot. What you guys think?

I was actually sorta surprised when I looked over yours. While they weren't really bad, I didn't think they were up to your usual quality. Guess that explains why :lol:

And I would have definitely submitted the second of those two pictures. The only thing that kills it is the ankle. Just looks so weird...

Ha, that's funny! I thought Fire in the Hole too after I saw the shot lol.

Holy space BBQ available only at FRIDAY'S...

THE CAKE WASN'T A LIE AFTER ALL ! :o

I really like Cornelia's action entry. It's really action-y and the posing of her character is nice along with the effects.

Although the funny category...none of them were really funny(sorry), but Mysterious-G's own was kinda funny in a creepy way lol. But hey, everyone has a different sense of humor.^^;

Sadly, the ching chong blah blah can be slightly offensive to some...even if its taken as a joke.

Congrats to all who won. Better luck next time for the others.

Saw that before... it's not really funny or so. It's just a rant from a dumb racist person. x_x

Not sure if the picture is making fun of her or something. But still... x:

That one would be awesome if you reproduce it on a poor unsuspecting monster instead of the camp ship floor.
