What does this mean for GridStream Productions? Well, for one, we party! But for this? We run a contest!
In a time that is already filled with all sorts of in-game events (from in-game parties, cabal recruitment fairs, live-streams, interviews, to the actual anniversary in-game event content that is packed with all sorts of things going on!), we wanted to add that special GSPness flair in which we encourage the very best in screenshot/selfie production as an interpretive art form.
And to make this desire a reality, we are totally going to bribe you with some cool prizes.
Let's get to the details!
What is the contest?
Take a screenshot that includes your character (limit: 1 entry per person) during the “Huge 2nd Year Anniversary” 2014 TSW Event featuring something that speaks to you, the player (or character), about this delightfully dark universe we get to play in. It can include the wardrobe (from the event and otherwise), the locations, the monsters…or whatever your creatively deviant brains can imagine. The point of it is that it absolutely must include your player character in the screenshot - not much of a shameless selfie otherwise!
After you take the screenshot, you e-mail it to us (contest@gridstream.org) or post it in this thread. The screenshot must be submitted by the end of the “Huge 2nd Year Anniversary” TSW Event – which is July 17th, 2014 (MIDNIGHT EST).
Note: We here at GSP are known for our antics and hilariousness when it comes to a great many things. For the sake of covering all our bases here, anything derogatory or overtly inappropriate will be disqualified. This is more of a statement just to cover ourselves here rather than anything specific - this community simply rocks and we want to ensure all of you feel safe in sharing your contributions!
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?
Two 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 it is easier for you).
E-mail: Send an e-mail to contest@gridstream.org with an attachment or link of your screenshot.
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, TSW-RP forums, or via telepathy)
(Kidding about telepathy! Seriously. Please, don't say 'telepathy'.)
What are the prizes?
First Place: A $20 Steam Card (Wallet code) + 2400 Bonus Points
Second Place: A $20 Steam Card (Wallet code) + 1200 Bonus Points
Third Place: 1200 Bonus Points
Honorable Mentions (2): 600 Bonus Points
In addition to those prizes, there will be eight (8) lottery drawings for 600 Bonus Points each!
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 (and potential celebrity guest judges).
The 8 lottery drawings will be drawn throughout the duration of the show.
Note #1: The points will be transferred to your account.
Note #2: If you win one of the ranked prizes, you are not eligible for the raffle to allow for fairness.
How long does this contest run?
The duration of this contest will run from NOW until the current end date for “The Huge Anniversary” TSW event – July 17, 2014.
Winners will be announced during Ashval’s Saturday 'Anger Management' show (July 19 @ 8 PM EST). It is important that we have your contact information so we can contact you if you win. Results will be posted on our forums, on our facebook, twitter, and on the official forums if you don't make it to Ashval''s show.
If you can't be at the show itself, that is fine! You can always tune-in remotely and continue to fight the good fight!
How many times can I enter this contest?
We ask that each individual please only submit one (1) entry to allow for everyone to have a fair shot!
Questions? Feel free to ask!
