:o When i entered the hyperlink into the April screenshot contest and i seen all the pictures i was a bit angry.  My picture was not there and i had sent my picture to byron 5 hrs ago from now.  I will post the picture in the screenshot forums and u guys can tell me what u think.

Overall the picture quality is very lacking this month...And i will not vote this month because i cannot choose a favorite..

Lets hope there is more publicity next month for the time he is accepting the pictures and lets hope that the shots are better

thats all,
vipone

yes, its a wind up. you can tell by right clicking a pic and going to save as. it will suggest a filenam that is the original upload filename. in this topic they are called 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,  and so on, because that is what he has saved them as, were as if you check back to lastmonths, they are named random things, like marss, and thismonthshot, that the people have saved them as. good try byron!! lol :o

PLEASE let this be an April Fool's prank!  Please!  None of these shots deserve a free copy of UT! :o  And to think I sent in my shot to Byron on March 30th to see what he thought of it.

As most of you have already figured out this contest was a HOAX!  The real contest will be posted by Byron in the coming hours (it is the middle of the night in Amsterdam).  Congratulations to Birdjet737 for being the first to guess, I suppose we will make him the winner for this contest. B)  To everybody else, well, the joke's on you! ;)

The shots in this contest were all created by yours truly in about a 30 minute span. :P  The video card used was a 9800pro, but (obviously) all in-game graphics settings were reduced to nearly their lowest possible levels.  At least I enjoyed excellent framerates while capturing them.  I've enjoyed lurking in this thread for the last hour too! :o

Look for the REAL contest to be started by Byron some time tomorrow - all the shots for this month were accepted before this fake contest was opened, so no need to submit any more.
