Screenshot Exposition Rules
EDIT By Unlucky Slayer: I have added in a link to the Screenshot area rules. I highly suggest you read them if you dont want to have trouble.

Laenavesse · Mar 05, 2007, 06:56 AM // 06:56

oh my oh my! cycle 2 is already starting?! *excited*

I'd actually volunteer my monk since I just got her Vabbian armor, but that's all she has right now since I sold her old armor and my sin only has the 15k luxon u-u;

Ah well *roots for the others*

RTSFirebat · Mar 05, 2007, 08:35 AM // 08:35

The Forum rules are better off posted... they are as follows:

=========================================

Screenshot Expo Forums Rules - PLEASE READ before POSTING!

User notes will be added against you if you don't follow these rules! No exceptions!

The 3 Strikes System:

When any of the below rules are broken, you will receive a strike against your username. The system works like this:

1st Strike - People will be warned via a PM + thread warning + (if necessary, close or soft-delete of their post or thread)
2nd Strike - Addition Warning via PM + (if thread close + soft-delete)
3rd Strike - 1-3 Day Ban without warning

All incidents are documented!

General Guidelines:

No character names can be displayed in images, unless premission is given, or its your own character
All posts are subject to the rules of the Guild Wars Guru forum guidlines.
Swearing in images are not allowed, make sure to censor them. The whole word must be censored, not just part of it.

Image Posting:

Images must be no larger then 800 x 600. If they are then please do the following:

Please convert images to .jpeg if possible. Images that are over 600KB in size will be converted to URL links or deleted.

Thumbnails, such as the ones provided by ImageShack are recommended for all images.

General Chatting within Threads - NOT ALLOWED!:

This thread is not a chat room! Don't use it as such. This also falls under spamming! (See below)
Please don't use the thread as a kind of chat-room. If you wish to discuss random stuff then please use forum PMs, e-mail or chat in-game if you like. Not in the thread.
Chat room talk / spam will be deleted.

Replying to Posts + Spamming:

The GWG forum rules on spamming are very clear:

Quote:

5. No Spamming

Post count - no matter how impressive a high number might look - is irrelevant here. Therefore, please do not spam these forums, or such posts will be deleted. To determine whether or not your post can be considered as spam, ask, "does this add to or advance the thread in a constructive way." If you answer, "yes," then chances are, you're good to go. Examples of spam posts include: “Yeah me too," "lol”, “that’s what I wanted to say…,” “what the guy above said…”, etc.

Please keep all replies tasteful. Swearing, flaming, crude comments, pointless comments will not be tolerated!

+1 post count spam is not encouraged! Mods actively found themselves deleting this kind of spam from a number of the Screenshot threads. The "Post your Character" threads in particular. The following clearly explains the differences between a comment/chat and a spam/+1 post:

Quote:

Posts that are impolite, crude, offensive, or otherwise failing to reflect on the thread or forum in a positive manner will be deleted as spam.

Furthermore posts that fail to contribute to discussion in a meaningful way or are intended to draw attention away from the original subject will also be deleted as spam!

Don't post just for the sake of adding +1 to your post count. Post counts aren't important on this forum.

KEEP ON TOPIC! If its a weapon thread, don't discuss armour. If it's a armor thread don't discuss farming, titles, chest running or weapons!

We don't encourage people to pointless go about posting meaningless psychobabble for sake of just increasing their post count. Your spam will be deleted and noted, so don't do it!

Quote:

We reserve the right to edit posts for format, content, or clarity, without notice. However, we will not intentionally change the substance of what anyone says, and will inform you if we make any substantial changes. Posting meaningless deranged psychobabble with no substantial merit or posts that do not contribute to the thread discussion will more than likely be deleted without notice.

Any post which violates civilized standards of decency or good conduct will be deleted immediately and without any further notice. Repeat offenders will be temporarily or permanently banned.

Screenshot Requests within Threads:

Please don't request screenshots. We have a whole sub-forum for that here:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/f...play.php?f=245

Please discuss the thread topic, but requests for screenshot should be made in the forum above.

Reporting Spam and other Rule Breaking:

If you see a rule-breaker, don't hesitate to use the report feature

located at the bottom left of each post.

Closing Large Threads:

Like what is done in Off-topic, we plan to close one by one the large Post Your ____ threads and recreate them from scratch after 1k posts.

Older threads will be added to a archive list on the forum sticky of course and the new threads would replace them in the main list of threads.

=========================================

In the older thread spamming is freely allowed, that is not the case this time. Spam and +1 post count posts can and will be deleted. No exceptions.

Maria The Princess · Mar 05, 2007, 05:20 PM // 17:20

Question about the application form: Do we have to take the ALL the pictures (including the "maby" character) in the town temple of balthazar or can we go out in the isle of the nameless (right outside with the armor dolls)?

______________
I dont know if anyone noticed this, but for those who watch Cycly 8 of American next top model.

they actually have a model who looks like Jaden (winner on TNTM from cycle 1). and her name is similar: Jael!!!

figured i should post it cuz its so cool

mojave mango juice · Mar 05, 2007, 05:42 PM // 17:42

I would have PMed this to you, but other people might have this question as well.

21. Please Include An Additional Picture Of Another Character That You Would Not Mind Entering And That Character's Name/Profession.

Does this picture have to be in Temple of Balthazar as well?

Storm Crow · Mar 05, 2007, 06:56 PM // 18:56

Yay! I just have to go get my three pictures of my applicant and I'll be all done!

^^ V

**cosyfiep** · Mar 05, 2007, 07:10 PM // 19:10

ah, the second cycle....seeing as I didnt make it into the first cycle, what are my chances of getting into the 2nd...............................hmmmmmm..... probably have a better chance at ----welll never mind..... I will submit another shot of my poor necro again, and see if she makes it this time. I am a glutton for punishment....

Brandon1107 · Mar 05, 2007, 08:41 PM // 20:41

This is exciting.

=D

One questtion: I was just wondering why we have to put another picture of another character we don't mind entering if were not entering them?

Ok I guess 2 questions: Are your chances slimmer if you have not watched ANTM/Have little armor with your person/Sent an App. in for cycle 1?

broodijzer · Mar 05, 2007, 09:11 PM // 21:11

Cool to see this again! I'm not going to enter, but I wish all contestants (and the judges, too) good luck! I'll certainly follow this thread again.

Sihaya Syme · Mar 05, 2007, 09:17 PM // 21:17

Would those on the European server have to switch servers for this?

LadyNilene · Mar 05, 2007, 10:17 PM // 22:17

Important: We are only looking for female characters! Thank you for the efforts guys, but female characters only, however, feel free to enter a female character if you got one! Sorry for the confusion!

Question about the application form: Do we have to take the ALL the pictures (including the "maby" character) in the town temple of balthazar or can we go out in the isle of the nameless (right outside with the armor dolls)?

Every picture has to be within Great Temple Of Balthazar, even your secondary choice character. If we cannot find the background within the restricted area, your application will get tossed out.

The reason for asking for a different character is to give you the option of swapping out IF you want too when we confirm your position. Some of our contestants from Cycle 1 felt that if they had known that so many of this profession was entering, they would've liked to change to something else...so we're giving that option this time.

No, not watching the show will not penalize you, having little armor will be an issue depending on exactly how many armor sets you have, three should be the target number, and no, if you applied for cycle 1, its not going to make you look any better or worst to us, clean slate unless you we're a previous contestant.

Quote:

No, as long as you stay to PST time for our assignments, it shouldn't be a problem. There is only one or two real time event in game which can be done in international districts, everything else is done through email.

Nkah Sennyt · Mar 06, 2007, 04:07 AM // 04:07

Good luck to everyone who has/will enter!

Ember010 · Mar 06, 2007, 12:13 PM // 12:13

A quick question about the picture entries; Can you crop them or do they need to be the full sized pic?

I'm getting my application 2gether hehe, already dead excited =]

LadyNilene · Mar 06, 2007, 06:07 PM // 18:07

yeah, just crop them, no need for full sized pictures.

Laenavesse · Mar 06, 2007, 08:15 PM // 20:15

errggg *wonders if she should just apply for the hell of it since she might get her monk some tyrian armor and her sin now has shrouded armor that'll probably be dyed white*

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrg...

Brandon1107 · Mar 06, 2007, 08:28 PM // 20:28

You should send in a an app. anyways. Even if you don't make it theres no loss. Plus its fun if you do make it

mojave mango juice · Mar 06, 2007, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Any specific dimensions?
Thanks in advance

Unlucky Slayer · Mar 06, 2007, 09:34 PM // 21:34

There are no specific dimensions unless Lady Nilene specifically says. Only time we had a specific set of dimensions they were for that assignment that had the many locations.

Please keep the spam to as little as possible so I dont have to clean the thread and issue warnings.

creelie · Mar 06, 2007, 11:58 PM // 23:58

For the people hesitating to apply because their characters don't have much of a wardrobe, remember this: you don't have to fight in the armor. There are 8 armor sets available to core characters for absolutely dirt cheap.

Hex Nexus · Mar 07, 2007, 12:24 AM // 00:24

*cries*
I wanted to enter, but I'll be taking a trip in June and won't be able to compete during that time. Good luck to those who enter, I'm excited for this Cycle!
