[align=center]Welcome to Herocraft Snap![/align]

Here, rather than having screenshots of just buildings in this thread, we give attention to our fellow players of Minecraft!

This is a weekly competition, where random prizes are given away in-game on Sundays. How do we judge pictures? Well, a point system is used to determine the picture's value. The player who posts a screenshot earning the most points wins the week's prize!

Just to make it fair for everyone, I do not count the person taking the picture! This way, we don't have city leaders and staffers trying to tip the scales unfairly.

Both myself and AfroDave will be grading the pictures according to the point system below. Make sure you check back every now and again: It may change slightly each week...

[align=center]Point System

Player Points (PP)

5 pts per Player (Citizens, Residents, Nomadic Rogues)
10 pts per Second in Command (SIC)
20 pts per Mayor (Ranks Baron/Baroness- Archduke/Archduchess)
50 pts per King/Queen
75 pts per Moderator
100 pts per Administrator or Coder
200 pts per Founder (Kainzo, Apherdite, and Seratt!)


Bonus Points (BP)
Framing
Decent Framing = 10 BP
Group Shot! Number of Players * 0.5 = BP
Your Good Side! Number of Player Faces * 0.5 = BP
Camera Shy Number of Sneaking Players = BP
Armed and Dangerous! Regardless of Weapon/Armor type: 5 BP per armor piece, 5 BP if sword/bow is shown
Mob Attack! IN A TOWN; 1 BP per Mob. OUTSIDE OF TOWN; 5 BP per Mob
Combat! 10 BP if players are fighting
Whistle While you Work! 10 BP if players are building
Oooh, pretty! 5 BP if flowers and/or waterfalls and/or pumpkins are present
Yikes, dangerous! 5 BP if giant mobs, lava, explosions, and/or fire (even on people) are present ...and/or if you're in the Nether
Silly people! 5 BP if someone's wearing a pumpkin on his/her head or using the /hat command! Also counts for every player riding a mob/player in the picture! May even count depending on what sort of scene the players are involved in...
Glitched! 0.5 BP for every player who is glitched into the wall or floor. (Not counting floating above the ground.)[/align]


PP are totaled first. BP are tacked on after. Please post your own screenshots.

Got that, boys and girls? Every week, I'll go over the pictures and tally up the points.

Now let's see those screenshots!

Hm...now this is making me wonder whether or not I should include or not include the player taking the picture...actually, to keep city leaders and staff from abusing the system, I won't.

But anywho...scoring for that one (without the player, sorry) would be:

PP; None
Total PP: 0

BP;
Mob Attack!; 75 * 5 = 375 BP
Yikes, dangerous! 5 BP
Total BP: 380 BP


Total Points: 380 Points!

Thank you for your submission!

so this is not a competition to take the coolest pictures? but a competition to capture as many mobs/players (preferably mayors, mods etc) in one picture? I thought there would be voting.

Voting takes too long and people are biased.

A point system eliminates the need to waste time in voting.

Besides, pictures of an active server could even be used to help advertise Herocraft.

This picture was taken outside of a town, and I happened to kill them all. You also gotta love my happy faced creeper :)

You can, yes. It's the person who holds the image with the highest points that would win the contest. :p

Also, seeing how there's a glitched person, I'm throwing in a new multiplier for it! (Should have thought of that one sooner, tbh...)

Now then...let's calculate:

PP:
Players
: 4 * 5 = 20 PP
Founders: 1 * 200 = 200 PP!
Total: 220 PP


BP:
Framing: 10 BP
Group Shot! 5 * 0.5 = 2.5 BP
Your Good Side! 3 * 0.5 = 1.5
Camera Shy 1 * 1 = 1 BP
Armed and Dangerous! 18 * 5 = 90 BP (Sorry, that's all I could clearly see in the picture...)
Combat! 10 BP
Glitched! 1 * 0.5 = 0.5 BP
Total BP = 115.5 BP


Total Points = 335.5 Points!


So close! gta, still in the lead with his Ghast Swarm, followed by Mattmellander!

Don't miss your opportunity to snap screenshots wherever you see a good shot!

Tbh, I don't see why it should. We'll see how it goes with the first few contests of "Best shot wins" rather than "Best album wins".

Keep in mind though: pictures you use in previous contests are not to be used in future ones.
