Hello all, We're going to host a screenshot contest this week, for a prize of 250 Prestige! What's needed? Simple. Take a screenshot of one of your cities and its dangerous surroundings, post it here with a cool caption and possibly win the prize! We will be judging the entries next weekend, and you have until 11:59 PM EDT on Friday, April 4th. As an example, here's my dangerous neighborhood:  I might caption it "A bit too bright to sleep at night." or something. Not sure how to capture a screenshot? Easy! 1) With the game window open (with your town centered on the world map) hit the PrtScn or Print Screen button. This saves an image of whatever is on your screen at the time. 2) Open Paint (in Windows) or other image program and hit ctrl-V or edit-->paste. Then crop the image so that it's not MASSIVE. 3) Upload here in this thread, and caption. The winner will be posted here and will be contacted in game, and then awarded the Prestige ASAP. Good luck, and happy screenshottin'! GM Rikoo ------------- Illyriad Community Manager / Public Relations / community@illyriad.co.uk |

My next door neighbor has a town named "Elisucksville"- my main is Ellieh, so that's nice. I can hear my neighbors blasting techno music all night because they are EVERYWHERE. Not an NPC, mine, or herb in site. And, best of all, there is some kind of campground north of me, a trailer park I suspect. Been there for weeks. I need to move. |

The Share Screenshot feature on the World Map is another option that wont require cropping and will yield a more consistent size & resolution. (described here http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/world-map-screenshot_topic5263_post69764.html#69764" rel="nofollow - http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/world-map-screenshot_topic5263_post69764.html#69764 )

 "It's a scary world out there millions of strangers fighting daily to survive while you watch and wait your turn in the unending cycle of life, Not knowing if today you will be the predator or prey the hunter or hunted the alive or dead. This what me and my people face everyday and all they have is but mere hope that when the new lands open we will be free of prosecution and finally live in peace and harmony but for now all that we can hope for is love." ------------- Biddy Here :D |

Reminds me of my country where all the wildlife is doing its best to kill you! If crocodiles and sharks start turning up in the desert I'm outta here.  |

 Coming to The Western Realms?
Come stay a while at the Dew Drop Inn, just north of Sebring, Western Realms. The facilities are outstanding, parking for Rv's, Boats, and tractor trailers. The Staff is ready to service your every (wink, wink) need. Those that visit, leave with a smile and give us 5 ------------- "Um diva.... you are sort of acting like a .... diva...." - PhoenixFire |

The scary thing about this shot is that the NPCs seem to be forming a cohesive army to the northwest, and also appear to be forming battle lines...  |

 The Wild Dogs have found a way to extend their territory tremendously. In between the water spouts, they soak the local geyser field with their urine. When the eruption occurs their scent is distributed for miles around. |

Town Guard 1: "Welcome to Inle! Don't worry, although we are located in the middle of an icefield there is enough for everybody to eat! We have smoked fish, fish with the skin on, fish with the skin off..." Town Guard 2: "Psst...those polar bears are still sitting on all our ice holes but one..." Town Guard 1: "Shhh not so loud! Some idiot told the last batch about the bears, and they sat around for two whole weeks eating up all of last month's smoked fish till the next van showed up..."

sorry, I could not get this on same page! It is so difficult to find reliable help these days! My castle is under attack by enormous wild beasties as my lazy "Party Hardy" troops ignore orders and instead decide to park their lazy bums on "rare herbs" and grape fields! Meanwhile,... my harvesters are nowhere to be found!

The real danger in this neighbourhood is of course the people who go so out of their way to intimidate their foes, be they beasts, lords or astronauts.

 "— Nuclear energy is the future of Elgea, the Circle of Five said. Now that we have those power plants all over the island the soil is glowing green day and night. The large puddles of nefarious goo sprawl up to the coastline and some of it pours into the sea. See the monster-sized critters we now have, roaming the land! Just an experiment, they said..." |

Alright, our winner is Sirius with his screenshot of a future filled with the warm, green glow of nuclear energy! Grats, we'll be issuing your 250 prestige soon! This was very tough. We actually picked out several, but this one is great because it's funny, shows the epic scale of the game and also gives a nod to the mechanics. The winning shot:  Grats!
