The Continuous Screenshot Competition Archives
Welcome to the revised version of our Archives, created by me and Scud. I made the thread, Scud gathered quotes, and I'm thankful that he did!
The purpose of the archives is to show the full history of the Continuous Screenshot Competition, mostly referred to as the CSC. The thread includes a History section, a load of quotes from the threads we've had so far and of course every single category there has been, all entries, all votes and who casted them, a list of the people that has entered, and a lot more. The thread is updated regularly, usually once a week. In the future there will come interviews with key persons in the drama. Many time winners, hosts (i.e. Scud and Thunder77) and other people that have contributed to the thread in different ways.
The CSC first started at DGDN* and it was brought to Age of Kings Heaven by Thunder77. The start for the threa was rough and there was a few arguings about wether we should have it or not, mainly because it was pretty much like zyxomma100's yearly competition. Most people now agree it's a good idea, and Kfish2oo2 said it the best way I think.
Our current host, Scud, was, ironically, one of the biggest opponents of this competition, but he gave up quite soon. And as he said to me over MSN once;
After about one hundred posts the most arguing was over and the competiting itself could get started.The thread grew constantly, and after a long time Thunder77 felt it was time for him to leave AoKH, at least he was becoming quite inactive. He started a voting and Scud was chosen to next host, and ever since then he has held the competitions. Scud won with 10 votes (surgE got one, everyone else got none). Here's pretty much the whole discussion in a few quotes:
MAY I PRESENT YOU THE NEW HOST OF OUR FAMOUS "CONTINOUS SCREENSHOT COMPETITION"...
HE IS THE HYPERACTIVE BATTERY-FREE, BIOLOGICAL, LEGAL LITTLE EXTACY PILL, A GREAT JOLT OF THUNDER, JOLLY GOOD FELLOW...
I NOW HUMBLY ANNOUNCE THEE THY NEW HOST.
LET US ALL GIVE A BIG HAND TO MR. SCUD "SCUDDLES" MK42!
*pops champagne* -
After Scud took over, the rate went up a lot and the competitions got more and more posts. The competitions #28-31 had 400 posts, with #31 140 posts alone! The rate continued high, but fell in the beginning on CSC3. Hopefully, and most likely, it's just temporary.
EDIT: ...with the exception of Johnny Cash, 'o course.
Wich I wont. Just check the distance I have to get near Scud...
1. Obey all rules.
2. Address Scud as "All mighty and omnipotent being, sir"
3. Follow all that the all mighty and imnopotent being says.
The quotes have been bravely gathered by Scuddles.
There are screenshots that has been entered to the competition but missed the deadline, or simply was shown up here and got a little critics, that are rather good or simply awesome. I felt that we should give those some room too, so here they are. Chosen because of people's critics on them, "WOW" speaking about them etc. etc.
