Pick Your Favorite RoF Screenshots! - 03/01/11 07:37 PM

We have close to 300 entries for the Rise of Flight Screenshot Contest, and the quality of the images is outstanding, and really shows how good RoF looks!

Now it is time to vote. Please pick your SEVEN favorite screenshots from the poll below. The numbers represent the post that each image appears, and the numbers are in consecutive order.

Download the 8.5 MB Voters Reference Guide so you can see the images in thumbnail view to compare them side-by-side.

Unfortunately, we had a few entries disqualified. If you don't see your entry in the listing, please review the contest rules, and send me an private message (PM) if you still have questions about why your screenshot(s) was not-eligible.

Disregard the last two check boxes with the "----".

The contest closes on March 13th, and the winners will be announced later that evening.

Good luck everyone!

There are a lot of great shots. I am going to have to whittle my list down quite a bit to be able to vote for just 7.

Would it be possible to get the page numbers that correspond to the images in the gallery so we can find the fullscreen ones?

Good God! And I thought choosing just three was hard dizzy

A great job all round I reckon. Is it just me, or would that reference guide make a fantastic wall poster...?

I was thinking that myself. And even if it doesn't I managed to find myself some great new wallpapers.

And some of those would be gorgeous framed prints or pics to use for a 'Ghosts of the Great War' type calendar. thumbsup

Voted. Took a while as there were so many great ones. I had 25 on my shortlist, and that was quite hard. Selecting among them even harder.

Looking at the voter's reference guide I'm struck by how mundane/boring most of the images look at small size.
IMHO one does not get a real feel for the image attributes (composition, detail, etc) unless they are viewed at a larger size. I know many of these images that I've downloaded and now use for RoF loading screens look much much better at full-screen.

Not that everyone has the time, but the voter's reference guide should be just that, a guide to locating images rather than side-by-side comparison.

Just an observation...

Yeah, definately look at the larger versions, most of my choices completely changed from my initial thumbnail impressions.

That wouldn't help much, since everyone can set how many posts per page to display.

I had a user error with my posting... oops As a brand new member and new the forum world I posted all three of my screen shots in a single posting. Please overlook my idiot maneuver.

Here they are just so I didn't take the time in vain.

Yeah, I didn't figure out how to find the full size images by number until after I voted... so I was glad for several of my votes, but a few ended up as regrets. (Regrets in the kindest sense, since most of these are better than I could produce!) I'm glad I voted for xxxxx, xxxxx, xxxxx, and xxxxx. After viewing images full screen, I wish I had voted for xxxxx. Are the winners going to be made into wallpaper sizes? xxxxx needs to be framed and hung on my wall... seriously, are there any rules about going to OfficeMax and printing a poster of a screen shot to frame? yep

Not really my place to mention this, but it is best --and provides the most impartial venue-- if we don't discuss our votes on the forum.

Agreed Bandy thumbsup - let's not influence other voters Pere' by mentioning which ones we voted for. seehearspeak

Voted, was a bit disappointed I missed my entry with 3 minutes but I now understand that the last entries really have a hard time anyway as the seven choices easily run out after half the list with all these good screenshots!

Re: TIME TO VOTE! Pick Your Favorite RoF Screenshots! - 03/12/11 07:17 AM

Voted. Hard work. Too many good shots. Maybe some criteria to help us next time. My best were those that could be rendered in oil paint and framed - plenty of them too. Great work boys.

^Yeah wondering the same thing, was the thread just a reference to the announcement?
Posted By: Bandy

Re: TIME TO VOTE! Pick Your Favorite RoF Screenshots! - 03/14/11 08:12 PM

They likely have a harder decision to make than we did picking out 7, so let's all be patient.
I was simply asking "what's next" to find out just that...
