Picture 1:

 

 

 

 

 
1st Place, winning 25000 crystals: @Blackdrakon30
 
A city once alive, brimming with life
Reduced to mere chaos, anarchy supreme
Sometimes peace, sometimes strife
The very image of a nightmarish dream
Snakes of luminescence slithering through the field
A battleground, where one’s fate is sealed
Static shambles betwixt the flames
Amidst the bursts of blazing rounds of Hell
Alive solely from swift turret aims
These lethal shots sound your death knell
The call of sirens, sweetly calling for demise.
 
2nd Place, winning 20000 crystals: @Jwimmer
 

Day 4 of my wildlife research:
I gave up on the jungle, and moved to searching on the beach of Rio. It was there that I discovered a new species: a vampire tiger. When I found it, it was sucking the blood out of a bug (I think it was a hornet) that was trying to hide itself in some grass. I was able to take a few pictures before it stalked away, and will provide more information later. I'm now flying to Siberia, in hopes of finding a mammoth (I have a suspicion that they still exist).

 

3rd Place, winning 15000 crystals: @TanktheShadow
 

Prowling hungrily, the Medic glided gracefully through the chaos around it. This viking radiated a strong aura, like a tiger's paws caressing the dirt. The Isida's nanobots were tingling like a tiger's claws, buzzing energetically. It's sharp yellow sights, that akin to tiger eyes, found the enemy, a green Hornet, as soon as the enemy sighted him. The tiger and its enemy began a dance of death. Sapping each other of strength, they battled, because in the wilderness, you either killed or were killed. Finishing with this enemy, the tiger pawed off, through Rio's vast unknown, to find more prey.

1st Place, winning 25000 crystals: @PWNER101
 

I proceeded overtop the luminous red flag expecting to hear the glorious sound of victory.
"Holy twins m0," I thought, "the flag won't capture. Am I lagging?"
"NO," a voice screeched.
"wh.. who.. who are you?" I asked.
"I AM THE GREAT POWERFUL ADMIN!" the voice screeched, "I DROP ALL THE GOLD BOXES!"
"bu.. but.. sir, he was killed by Lhamster in the first great tank war."
"BUT HIS GHOST STILL LIVES. PREPARE TO BE ANNIHILATED FOR YOUR SINS!" the voice screeched, louder than before.
"what have I done this time?"
"YOU ENDED THE BATTLE AFTER THE GOLDBOX SIREN"

 
2nd Place, winning 20000 crystals: @Leaflet314

As the freeze was about to capture the flag, a small smoky/ wasp pushed him out of the way. "Give me the flag!" he said, shooting the freeze.
"I want to cap!" The freeze had an M3 Viking, but the smoky had caught him off guard. He was pushed off the edge and had to drop the flag.
Far away, a player smashed his head into the keyboard. "MULTS!!!" he shouted. "MULTS!!!"
 
3rd Place, winning 15000 crystals: @Jwimmer

Just below the high-rises of Rio, a busy delivery man has completed his first run of the day. He came from the other side of the city, bringing a regal looking package, covered in blue and gold tape. A worker where the package was delivered shows up, groggy from a bad night of sleep. Other than one woman getting her breakfast of what appears to be a veggie smoothie, there is no other activity in the city, which will soon be bustling with workers.

 

Another great contest, with some quality entries, I had to narrow it down a top three, so congrats to those who won prizes!

My story about Fred the banker didn't win :p

[l.Eat.My.BuIIets 483]

Gratz to the winners ^_^

How did mine not win?

[Lhamster 4,081]

How did mine not win?

Because I was judging, not you.

[DragonOfStorms 2,706]

Oh well. Maybe next time.

[snipe3000 678]

How did this,

 

The ghost of a young, inexperienced tanker haunts me. That tanker, harmless and innocent, was only trying to surrender. If I had realized that when I sent the crushing stream of ice to destroy him, he might be alive today. Where I go, he goes. He is a constant reminder of my cruel actions to other tankers. Even as he follows me, I still fight. While I do regret that I had to be the one to end his life, I will not be deterred on my quest to glory. I will stand strong until the end. For my team.

 

Not beat

I mean, I understand why I didn't win the first one, those were some good entries, but seriously how did I not at least get 3rd on the 2nd pic?

Gah, I thought for sure my second caption would get something.

 

Seems like a lot of people went with the wildlife idea for picture one, I thought I was the only one lol

[Jwimmer 2,835]

OMG I won a newspaper contest! Twice!

 

Thanks Lham :)

 

However, considering the rest of the newspaper has been trolling, I am a bit suspicious.

2nd place for 2nd picture. Let's put aside the fact that it wasn't good at all and focus on my real complaint, It doesn't even describe the situation. I mean, you can clearly see the smoky died and the flag carrier almost capturing the flag. The smoky didn't even bother the freeze as he was behind him. Furthermore, Rio's edge of the world is far from the red's base so the dead smoky couldn't push that Viking off the edge even if he tried

It's called using your imagination... Why does it have to be a 100% accurate gameplay scenario? And he's referring to the edge of that platform, not the map.

And no toiletpapers won...

PWNER101 thinks yours would have been better written in third person.

nice reading it

[XieNanYang 0]

I thought my stories were pretty good, then I read the stories of the winners.... I said to myself, "Darn, I need to take a trip to 'Creative Land'."

 

It amazes me how some peoples' minds work.

 

Good job winners!

[Hex 11,520]

The 1st pictures winning entry is absolutely staggering. STUNNING. 2nd is a creative one though.
