MM1 SotM resurrection

Postby Seahawk » 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.

RULES
  • *The rules are subject to change at anytime.
    *Any new rules will be highlighted in red colour (color).

    *You must be a human. No bots allowed.
    *You can only submit your own work.
    *You can submit only one screenshot per month.

    *The screenshot must be a still picture taken from MM1. No videos or animations allowed!
    *The screenshot may include only publicly released addons. No private addons allowed!
    *The screenshot can be edited or unedited. No software limits.
    *The screenshot editions may include cut & pasted editions from photos not related to the game. (i.e. new sky picture collected from Google Images.... etc.) However, majority of the final picture should be from the game.
    *The screenshot must be appropriate for the general Midtown Madness community. No porn, no blood, no freaky, no creepy, no bad words, no discrimination of any kinds. and no illegal stuff. Violation of this rule may lead to banishment from these forums.... or worse. Ghosts and other paranormal things are allowed.
    *No discussion on each others screenshots.

    *The screenshot dimensions should not exceed 1600x1200 pixels.
    *The screenshot file size should not exceed 1 MB.
    *The screenshot file type (format) must be either .GIF, .JPEG or .PNG.

    *When you decide to enter your screenshot, post it here in this topic after the "Stage 1: Enter Your Screenshots!" anouncement has been made for that month.
    *Do not explicitly post the full-size image in the contest thread. Instead use the thumbnail (hotlinked to original) or provide the link to it.
    *Use common image hosting sites such as Postimage, Imgur, ImageShack, Photobucket, or MediaFire.
    *You are allowed to change your screenshot submission within three days of your original submission date.
    *No submissions allowed after the last day of the month the contest is designated for.
    *Old screenshots are not allowed from March 2015.

    *Only the 1st is the winner, 2nd and 3rd people will be also counted as lasts. And their work will NOT be appreciated!
    *Voting start and finish will be communicated. Results will be posted after 3 days.
    *Vote after "Stage 2: Vote Now!" announcement has been made.
    *To vote, PM me or post in this topic to state your choice of the month.
    *During SotYs, instead of participants, screenshots are voted.
    *You cannot vote for yourself.
    *Do not post anything obvious like +1 to XYZ while voting. To vote, post: "I vote for XYZ." or something meaningful like that.
    *NO WORD WARS (Quarrels) because somebody copied your idea or somebody hasn't voted you.
    *If, in some rare cases, a participant is banned for some reason and makes another account and there are screenshots from both accounts. And, somebody voted the newer one. And the banned person comes again before the closing of one SotM or SotY, then that vote goes to the unbanned account directly. If you want to make another vote then, post your new vote here or via PMing me.
    *If a participant is banned and not unbanned before voting, then that account will be disqualified.

    *Any participant may be disqualified if in violation of above-mentioned rules or for reasons not said above.

    *The main host(Which can be me too. Or the person who will someday succeed me after I leave www.mm2x.com) or temporary hosts cannot suggest the themes themes themselves from March 2015.

    SOME EXAMPLES
    ImageImageImageImage

    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.

Ha great. Good to see this topic. I always wanted both MM1 and MM2 come up and get increased in activity. I'll upload my shot shortly here.

I still don't understand one thing after reading all the rules. On voting, is it must for you to vote via only PM? I saw the other MM2 picture contest, it allows voting from posts. Just confirm me this thing that you've two options or one option.

It is looking like a crash rather than a drift.... So, change it!

And I knew this loneliness will happen, the noobs who posted in MM1 SotM last year are gone and the one good person who posted screenshots has no time now to edit and paste images and that's why this loneliness which I had thought.. :(

Good to see these again.... :D

MM1 cars are bad sliding? They're better than MM2 cars in sliding.. Better physics.

And also think for December 2014 and January 2015's thems. I've two Chicago themes left but I'll go for then afterwards as this is going Chicago-Chicago lol :) . But I think Chicago themes are better because this year in January when I confirmed the theme Archipelago only one member posted..

Something that only an admin or DJDecibel can tell me.
"The screenshot must be appropriate for the general Midtown Madness community. No porn, no blood, no freaky, no creepy, no bad words, no discrimination and no illegal stuff. Violation of this rule may lead to banishment from these forums.... or worse. "
This rule, from the MM2 SotM, if breaked, can cause a ban, permanent ban or IP ban. But is that banishment fine approved?
