So I guess we should log in normally and not use windower to post the screenshots? <_< I don't even know where the screenshots go when you take them with regular Pol lol.

I don't think there's anything wrong with using fraps (or something like it, cause how would they get videos submitted for that contest some time ago?) to take screenshots. In my experience fraps took HQ screenshots that where just as good as widower ones.
But I say that cause SE's screenshot "tool" causes me to crash, I know its not .dats because I took a few long before I even knew about dats. After those few though the second I hit print screen after scroll lock pol crashes

Entry name
The Resting Place of Grand Memories
Introduction text
Summer time is one of my favorite seasons in many ways. Cooking out with friends or taking a small fishing vacation on the ship bound for Muhara are my some of my favorites to name a few. One thing stands out as my favorite though and that would be relaxing in my mog house while reflecting on the past. Every single thing in the house comes from different time periods and represents significant memories or personal achievements. I cannot help but ponder our bright future on Vana'diel.

My mog house is nowhere NEAR finished either is the sad thing. I'm sitting on 68/80 on house storage in pure furniture too. It currently feels a tiny cluttered on the tables but it's related to the craft so :\ Apparently according to the rules I can't adjust anything either until it's over which sucks because I'm always finangling things lol.
If you wanna take a trip over to the official forums and push the like button it would be awesome of you :O

The theme for this contest is "staying cool in the summer heat."
We’ll be asking you all to decorate your Mog Houses following the theme, taking screenshots, and posting them up on the forum in the contest thread. We’ll be requiring that one or more of the below furnishings be used, as they represent wind and water (summer time cool!).
| Goldfish Bowl/Fighting Fish Tank/Butterfly Cage/Cricket Cage/Glowfly Cage/Freshwater Aquarium/Saltwater Aquarium/River Aquarium/Reef Aquarium/Bay Aquarium/Carillon Vermeil/Aeolsglocke/Leafbell/R. Bamboo Grass/B. Bamboo Grass/G. Bamboo Grass |
|
Contest breakdown
Entries will be submitted as a post on the forum
Entries are limited to one per person
Up to 5 screenshots can be submitted
We will be awarding winners with the below new furnishings:
 
Our idea is to continue holding Mog House decoration contests in the future, but changing the theme each time. We’ll be announcing the official details and schedule soon, so please look forward to it! | |
