MM1 SotM resurrection
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2014 9:42 am
This thing came up again. As there are more MM1 players now at MM2x as they were from before in 2014. I've also got permission from Franch88 to start this again.
INTRODUCTION
This is a SotM following a lot of things from the MM2 SotM! It is a tradition way long back in other MM2 sites which are shut down. This one is for MM1. The first MM. So, each month members of this site will paste their best screenshots, edited or unedited. Then here is voting, and the person who gets the most votes is the winner. At the last of the year; instead of participants screenshots are voted.

SOME EXAMPLES
The Resources
If you are in-need for image editing software; Use MS Paint, Paint.NET, Gimp or Photoshop. They can be found quickly by a Google search.
I don't have any tutorials for you.
So, if you want them then search them yourself.
STAGE 1: UPLOAD YOUR SCREENSHOT!
THEME: Drifting in Chicago
End of submitting screenshots will be on 30 November.
As you can know by that 2013 topic. I was going to put this theme for February 2014 but it was closed. And so it is the theme of this month. The month of November.
