    I was just thinking, "I should capture the most awesome screenshot I can find of the asteroid for posterity, before it's gone."

    Framed between two buildings...from the top of a mountain...through some ruins...whatever.

    And then I thought, I should do that and then post it on the forums and try to get a whole thread going with cool screenshots of the asteroid.

    And then I thought, I suck at taking pics so I should offer 50,000 in game gold to the coolest screenshot posted by 9 PM PST on Monday, 3/26, before the asteroid is possibly gone forever.

    And then I thought I should make some basic rules, like you need to hit F9 to hide all the screen brick-a-brack in your screenshot, and you can't adulterate or photoshop it in any way.

    And then I thought since it's still my 50k for the next four days I'm the sole judge of which one is the best (but I'm willing to listen to opinions in case I miss the screaming wonder of the fire spitting phoenix in that one screenshot or the beams of light coming out of the lion's head statue in that other one that perfectly frame the asteroid at last light).

    And then I thought yeah, I should post that, because we just might never see that asteroid again.

    Plus my in game gold won't save me from whatever happens when it hits anyway, it'll just slow me down running.

    Edit: hit F12 to take a screenshot. After F9 to hide the brick-a-brack, obviously.

    You can post as many times as you want and you can start anytime. This is all about posterity (well, and 50k)! The more posts the merrier! Tell all your friends, especially those who don't read the forums!

    @ChavaiotH That is a really, really nice shot. :)

    Oh and just FYI to all, you can hide yourself in the picture if desired by typing /visible. And you can hide nameplates by typing N (unless you changed your keyboard mappings).

    Still Screenshots can most certainly be Dramatic.

    But to really capture the Awe and Majesty of Deadarus requires Video.

    That's actually quite soothing (the vid). I'm not sure that thing should be soothing, but that totally is. :)
