This is true. For instance I can't replicate the armor of the NPC I so choose, though do have a spitting image character. Was too good not to share since it's still the same idea in a different fashion. Don't care about winning, though did have fun sorting through all the fantastic submissions and sharing.

Definitely a "just for fun" event. I applaud everyone who took the creative route with monsters and such. Like others have said, I don't care much about winning, I just wanted to pay tribute to my favorite Scion.

Ok I am on PS3 how do I take a screenshot and upload to forums? OR am I going to have to take one of my whole tv with my mobile device and do it that way?

I dont know how to take the actual screenshot, it may be in key bindings... A google search might help too...
As for uploading it to the forums, the screenshot should save to an album under the photos icon. You can either do the local network sharing thing to get to it, plug in a usb and copy it, or try to open up browser on ps3 and directly upload it to imgur or w/e photoshare site and copy it over...

It may just be faster to take a picture of your tv...

Hah, I spent hours and quite a few level allowances trying to get Mansel Black to behave for his photo op. He's a very ill-behaved little Lamb. Lilalris Chamberliaux, if you read this, thank you for healing a total stranger as you watched him "fight" Mansel in what must have looked like the most idiotic battle ever. I'm not really that bad a fighter, honest!

For those of you on PS3, look on the first couple posts in the Entry thread...

There is literally a section called "How do I take a screenshot on PS3?"

trying to figure this out just practice thing after 3 fails in main thread

Some of the "my mount is the doppleganger to this ahriman/goobbue/etc" look cool, but aren't really player costumes, nor are they very creative, so I'm not rooting for them.

/stirs the pot ;)

Also, I *love* the demon wall/market board one by that roegadyn! XD I hope it wins even though they say you can't use any image editing besides cropping...

Question that I'm hoping I can get feedback on. Either from the community who may be more versed on the rules, or the higher ups.

I submitted an entry, but since then, I find myself wanting to swap over to my other character and make it my main. Is it possible, if I am a winner, to have the necklace sent to my new character since they are on the same account?

An odd one I know..

Is this content just for players in NA servers ?

From the legal information posted by SE:

ALL ENTRANTS MUST AGREE TO THESE OFFICIAL RULES AND HAVE A VALID SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS ACCOUNT. THE CONTEST IS OPEN TO MEMBERS WHO ARE LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE U.S. AND CANADA (EXCLUDING QUEBEC) OVER THE AGE OF 13.

Doesn't matter about the servers so much as it does your physical resident status.

i posted twice sadly, the same photo one has 28 likes the other 3, only because i used a url instead of an img code , couldnt find an edit button is it possible for my post #111 to be deleted? id hate to not get a necklace because my first post has no votes for the same pic ;__;

I'm fairly sure that the winners are decided by SE and not by the community. If your first submission isn't viewable, I'm sure they'll just move to the first one they CAN see. I wish you the best!

i really hope so! seems like alot of people like my submission :)

I'm confused by the entry of that cute GSM lalafell named Nerd Doll... I don't think she's posing with an NPC, but instead trying to be dopplegangers with another player.

Don't the rules specifically say not to have other players in your shot? And to try to be a doppleganger for an NPC, not another player??

I'm hoping for the pity vote for being the only black Lala on the server.

Was really hard to find any NPCs to try and be a doppelganger of.

Even the Dunesfolk Lala's of Uldah are tan, not black.

How are you excluded from the contest you are in North America - The Whole Continent not just The United States - it says North America not United States so think about that - Quebec is in North America is it not?

True enough - It was difficult for me to do the screenshot contest - I am not good at that sort of thing.. I am a writer, a published poet at that so for me its a huge let down that I did not get a chance to participate in the Haiku contest. For me it would have been perfect.. I think all the contests should be open to everyone regardless of where we live. I don't see why they have to be regional. Seems a bit unfair.

Quebec has a bunch of laws/regulations when it comes to contests. So rather then deal with it most contests just void Quebec.

Yeah, the contest didn't say the top 100 with the most likes wins... the problem with contests where winners are chosen based on likes is that more often than not it's a popularity contest and who has the most friends... someone can have a not so good photo and a ton of likes just based on the amount of friends a person has. Contests are much better when it is judged by a panel of judges working with the contest holder, I believe those are more fair

If possible, IF I'm one of the winners, could I have my prize on Punainen Drak, instead of the alt I used for the entry?

cant wait till they actually announce winners, wish wow had done events like this!

I agree if it were based off of likes too many people would be begging likes from the world

When are we going to see the Winner announcement it is now almost the end of Nov 6th. It seems they always are late with things .. ugh. I just would love to win one of these necklaces so badly I hope its nice - for spell caster wear because to be honest the I could really use some nice spell caster neckwear.

They said they would announce the winners on, or around the 6th.

true however they are always late with things *sigh

Don't get your hopes up with the ahriman necklace stats. I'll be surprised if it's anything more than vanity gear. That being said, I still really want one! :D

I do too but considering people went through a lot to do these screenshots and it wasnt cheat I dont know why the stats wouldnt be decent. YOu would think these contests would be for things worth while instead of just empty useless gear ..

So now that it is officially the 7th of November 2013 of course, when will we be seeing the announcement of the 100 winners of the contest and the distribution of the 100 prizes in game to these winners? I do recall that it took quite some time for the Servers to be giving the Winning prized Bomb and Cactaur Earrings and then instead of them being mass mailed or such players have to track down 1 of the 3 in game Moogles in obscure in town locations and pay for these earrings - yes they were 1 gil only but this does pose an interesting point.

I would imagine the players who won would know first, but i doubt they will announced the winners... I say this because of this clause in the contract. (But i can only hope they announce the winners on the forums, or atleast someone who won could confirm the prizes are already given.

"10. WINNER'S LIST; RULES REQUEST

For a copy of the winners list, send a stamped, self-addressed, business size envelope after November 6, 2013 and before January 6, 2014 to Square Enix at the address listed below (Attention: Doppelganger Screenshot Contest Winners List). To obtain a copy of these rules, send a stamped, self-addressed business size envelope to Square Enix at the address listed below (Attention: Doppelganger Screenshot Contest Rules Request). "

it says the winners will be announced .. so i think thats just for an official copy of the winners list after the fact.. but they have announced winners of contests in the past on forums openly so I dont know why this would be any different in fact usually its a bit thing.

"The All Saints' Wake Doppelganger Screenshot Contest has reached a dead end! Thank you to those of you who participated!

We had a great time going over all of your entries on a daily basis as your doubles were truly stunning! We will be selecting the top 100 entries within the next few days, so stay tuned for the announcement."

They stated they would announce more than once including this post on the submission thread, so ya... they'll announce them...

How they have done these events in the past is to make one big post with all the winning entries, I think a couple notable mentions, and then prizes get distributed however. But when they have decided, there WILL be a public announcement.

BUT I NEED TO KNOW IF MY LORE-CONFORMING IMPERSONATION OF CARVALLAIN, PERHAPS AS HIS [TERRIBLE] PUBLIC DOUBLE, HAS IMPRESSED THE COMMUNITY TEAM.

</em foams at the mouth and bursts into flames.>

Lol ya'll is soo cray cray lol

So here we are drawing near the close of yet another day November 7th going into November 8th which means 2 days late on results of the competition this is not beyond near... I think this is another Square letdown. *Sigh, just like the bomb and Cactuar earrings we waited almost a month to get after they were won for each server and what happened they were junk.. So the people who won them did all that hard work for nothing, I bet there were insulted and I bet they felt quite cheated. Something they won for their servers and yet it ends up being nothing more than common trash, things that no one will even wear. Isnt there enough gear around like that why keep making more junk

These prizes should be just that prizes and be a true "PRIZE" and be something that can be treasured and worth being valued and worth the wait and the effort.. I know myself personally I spent over almost 40,000 company seals to get the equipment for my screenshot so I put a lot of effort into this contest. I wouldnt have even purchased the gear I bought for the contest had the contest not happened. I think many other people feel the same way. We went out of our way to take this contest serious and be creative. I even purchased the minion I didnt own for 15,000 gil which I am short on gil due to a repeatedly happening game error that I am still waiting on Square-enix to actually correct and reimburse me for. I am saying this all so when one of the Square Moderators reads this they know we players took it seriously. We deserve to be treated with respect and not be put off and lied to and given excuses and given useless equipment as a prize.

Guy, calm down. It's been two days.

Wow, are you serious?

The cactuar earrings are vanity. Purchased for ONE gil and 99% of the population didn't have to do ANYTHING.

And no one forced you to participate in the contest. They presented the prize beforehand.

Stop complaining.
