We're back!

Yes, I have some (more) time and would like to see if we had the interest in running this again. The new theme, as in the first post above, is work.

I have agreed this with Kamnet and he is happy to hand over back to me. If a moderator could lock the old August 2014 topic please that would be great.

[Chrill]

Made this one a sticky too. Work, eh? Might have to contribute.

Seamless transition

As always, I don't decide if a submission fits the theme. I leave it up to the vote in the hope that people will not vote for it if it doesn't fit the theme.

[kamnet]

A thank you to SwissFan91. It was a pleasure to have hosted!

[Emperor Jake]

Yay it's finally back! Thanks for hosting it again, I will prepare something from my latest game.

[Quast65]

Submission is sent!

[Ladusa]

Oh great! I'm going to sent my submission right now!

[ISA]

Cool! Your back! I see what I can throw in

[STD]

I also sent a screenshot yesterday

[wallyweb]

I'm in!

[STD]

The normal number of players involved this time. Pleased with the interest shown.

"Use of graphics programs to enhance screenshots (aka "Photoshopping") is permitted." So, Can I put vehicles, or peoples on the picture?

Yes.

[Emperor Jake]

Submitted my entry. It's from the same map as this, but this won't be some tranquil tropical resort, it will be an industrial powerhouse that gives Tiger Island its namesake. Also it will be my first post-game edited screenshot, but it's only a few minor details.

[Sabret00th]

So, SwissFan, is the 24th of August A Monday, or a Tuesday?

[flogeza]

Really a little mistake.

[Emperor Jake]

I wanted to ask whether animated gif screenshots like these should be allowed, or if it would be considered cheating because it's technically multiple screenshots in one?

Alternately, it could be set as a theme, but not everyone might want to or be able to create an animated screenshot.

For the record, my current entry is not animated.

[Sabret00th]

As you say it, I'm starting to think that the building up of an area is most definitely considered work, and since that, you would have an unfair advantage ahead of the rest of us

Anyway, submissions should be closed now, according to the opening post....

(by the way, if you win, you can set the next theme to be Timelapse )
