Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send a PM to SlipZtrEm, Scaff, or Terronium-12.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it; it makes poll creation much easier!

  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
    [*]Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
    [*]Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
    [*]You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
    [*]When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, as a clickable link to the full-sizer.
    [*]Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
    [*]A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
    [*]Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
    [*]Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 25. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 12-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
    [*]Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
    [*]The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so, by uploading to your storefront.
    For this reason, it's recommended to save the original image until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

:tdown:I think this theme is not quite fair, remember not all people have the DLC Stoney buddy.
Sadly to see that I´m out, since I do not have the DLC and money to buy it.
 
This is true, apologies for that mate. Is it possible to take photos when viewing other people's replays? I'd be willing to get a few replays onto my storefront on a couple tracks to allow people to view and take some shots that way if poss
 
Adding a RUF could be a solution Stoney, is more simple in my opinion 👍

I don't think that'll work in the case of Porsche: since people who don't have the pack will just see a Jetta, I believe.

Unless Stoney wants to add a RUF (then making this essentially the same as 2.0), I'll be keeping the theme as is. I realize this may stop people from being able to enter, but that is only going to be for this week: I won't be allowing multiple Porsche themes in a row. Note too that we've had DLC-specific themes before. I suppose car-specific themes are easier to deal with in FM4 over GT5 though: no endless hunting for used cars! It does seem that the majority have already grabbed the pack, which surprises me.

Sorry NTX buddy, if Stoney wants to add a RUF, or at least, allow one for those who don't have access to the RS, then I recommend the Rt12 S, as it's the most similar in spec.
 
I'll be out of this one, haven't decided on buying the pack yet :sly: , but i'm in no rush because I have a whole month of stupid gcse's :banghead:
 
I don't like to begrudge anybody the chance to enter (especially when we get low amount of entires as we do atm lol) so i will allow the RUF RT12 S ONLY if you don't have the pack. And i will think about future themes abit more carfeully :lol:
 
Final Entry


-make it big, and it will make it better-
 
Really nice TF, lovely use of colors 👍 👍
But in the theme restrictions says no statics shots buddy! But lets see if Stoney let it pass, he made the rules for this theme. (after all, my entry is with a RUF, and maybe he can also accept yours)
 
Oh dammit! I read right over that. :P

No biggie, I'll have no problem replacing it.
