[TSW] GSP Presents: Not Another Summer Selfie (Screenshot) Contest!

Postby Lia » Sat Jul 04, 2015 4:34 am


The Secret World’s 3rd Year Anniversary event is LIVE!!


Image

This means there is a party hosted by GridStream Productions and.....we're also hosting a screenshot contest to justify giving away bonus points along with the contests that actually happen at the parties! The weather is hotter. Humid. You either want to stay inside to hug your air conditioner or you migrate to cooler climates. Or! You may go out to the beach or investigate the local attractions! It is a time for adventure and fun and this is definitely shown by the new items brought on with this year's goodie bag that you obtain from the item shop or the vendor in London!

ICly, you will have a prime opportunity for some photo/screenshot candy! GSP is hosting a 4th of July celebration that will take you late into the wee hours of the morning (for us Eastern coast folks, at least!) - Saturday, 4th of July - 8 PM until 2 AM the next day Eastern featuring... DJ Nicksa, DJ Trevalin, and DJ Daydreaming!

Let's get to the details of the contest!

What is the contest?

Take a screenshot that celebrates summer, the anniversary event, the new items and such, or... just something that speaks "TSW" to you. The sky is the limit! It doesn't HAVE to be a selfie, but it absolutely MUST contain your character. Be creative. Be innovative. Impress us. Give us a reason to give you bonus points!

Please don't edit your screenshot - cropping is permitted, of course.

After you take the screenshot, you e-mail it to us (contest@gridstream.org) or post it in this thread on GSP's forums. The screenshot must be submitted by July 22 2015 11:59 PM Eastern.

How do I take a screenshot?

You can take a screenshot in game by hitting the button F11 (PNG) or alt + F11 (JPEG). You can also use an external program like fraps to capture a screenshot and designate a hotkey.

Also, you can hide your UI by hitting ALT + Z, this helps with getting the most quality from the screenshot.

How do I submit an image?

Three ways:

GSP Forum post: Make an account, join our community – the more the merrier - and attach the image to your post IN THIS THREAD. (You can use imgur or photobucket to link it as well if that is easier for you).

E-mail: Send an e-mail to contest@gridstream.org with an attachment or link of your screenshot.

(If, for some reason, neither of those options work for you, PM Iolanthe on the official TSW forums, poke me on twitter (@HerVioletEyes), or prod me on tsw-rp forums as Lia Lester. We can be flexible!)

Twitter: DM @HerVioletEyes (poke me with a mention if you need me to follow and I'll take care of you)

WE WILL NEED INFORMATION: Character Name and the best way to contact you (on the GSP forums, e-mail, in-game mail, official TSW forums, Twitter, TSW-RP forums… we will absolutely need the character name for Funcom to grant you the rewards!)

What are the prizes?

First Place: 1800 bonus points + $20 Steam Wallet Code
Second Place: 1200 bonus points
Third Place: 800 bonus points
Honorable mentions (2) – 600 bonus points

Lottery style prizes (6) – 400 bonus points

How do I win?

Two ways:

The three ranked prizes and the two honorable mentions will be decided via a popular internal vote among GSP staff!

The 6 lottery drawings will be drawn throughout the duration of the show.

Note #1: Points will be transferred to your account after the contest by a CM.
Note #2: If you win one of the ranked prizes, you are not eligible for the raffle to allow for more winners!

How long does this contest run?

The duration of this contest will run from July 3, 2015 until July 22, 2015 – closed by 11:59 PM Eastern.

When will the winners be announced?

The winners of this contest will be announced during one the shows that follow the closure of the contest - details of which that is will be updated to this thread and advertised.

I’ll be posting the winners on my twitter (@HerVioletEyes & on the @gridstream twitter) as they are announced during the show that is chosen for that format. I’ll be sure to post the winners in other social media and expected forum posts!

If you can't be at the show "physically", that is fine! You can always tune-in remotely and continue to fight the good fight (also, be sure to subscribe to our in-game channel via /chat join Gridstream ).

How many times can I enter this contest?

We ask that each individual please only submit one (1) entry!

Questions? Feel free to ask!

Be fantastic, relentless, and utterly shameless!

The many entrances to Agartha have always felt special to me. Not only are they beautiful, but they have an air of mysticism to them. And they symbolise TSW so very well too <3

Upon searching the realms and wandering, Fighting many a golem in my path. Holding their hate firm in my grasp or tending to those in need of healing as they fought gallantly. I retreat to the home of the Templars of Temple Court. A wonder, bestowed upon me, as if a gift from the heavens, a reminder that at the end of every LionHearted day there is no better reward than this - A beautiful Sunset.

The image shown was captured as i passed by heading to Templar Faction Hall. You can see the fountain but not the buildings as due to the lag script the view distance had been reduced enabling me to view the whole skyline in all it's glory in the heart of London.

I am reminded of these words from a favourite song of mine.

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust.

In game name is "LoneMonkey". You can contact me in game or here on gridstream or on the TSW forums under the name Lonemonkey1980.

Summer in The Secret World wouldn't be complete without some shots in our favorite Oasis. This year, we're featuring items from the Bohemian Party Sack including The Hitman Lean dance achievement, Turquoise hand and feet jewelry and scarves! All the scarves! And not much else.

Duck face in front of a sad, contemplative golem is certainly in spirit for the season!
