I'm not usually one to make fun of segments of the Halo-playing populace (considering that certain segments usually do a fine job of humiliating themselves), but every now and then something foul and reprehensible escapes the wretched grasp of its intellectually-inhibited creators and wreaks havoc upon the institutions of those of us who consider ourselves more "cultured" than they.
Yes, my friends, I am speaking of the "Kat's Ass" screenshot fixation in Halo: Reach.
"Kat's Ass" is merely a smaller manifestation of the true problem - the Halo: Reach population's seeming obsession with in-game pictures of certain areas of females. While the associated stereotypes brought about by this obsession are indeed rather lulzy, an unfortunate casualty of this mass fascination with all things feminine and booty-related has been that one of the previously dominant Halo custom content communities - the screenshot community - is in a state of utter despair. Because the only methods of mass popularization of screenshot content involve recommendations and downloads, the mass propagation of "anime girl" and "spartan ass" screenshots has replaced the artistic screenshots that were formerly kings of the custom content arena. The artistic screenshot community has lost its outlet to the masses; and is on the brink of death. Elimination of the popularity incentive for screenshot creation has lead to some screenshot artists abandoning Halo for greener pastures elsewhere, if they exist.
TCE will NOT stand idly by in the Halo screenshot community's time of need.
So we have a plan.
OPERATION BOOTY OVERLOAD
Mission: Create a Youtube video so disgustingly full of Halo: Reach booty that it is sure to capture the attention of almost all of the people responsible for the corruption of file popularization in Halo: Reach, and use it to subsequently denounce the evil booty-plague that has crippled the screenshot community.
The Defining Idea: The screenshots used will be set to the most appropriate song we will ever find for this endeavor.
Procedure: Open screenshot submissions from members of the TCE community - the different types of booty screenshots needed will be posted in various OPERATION BOOTY OVERLOAD Submissions Threads. Members are welcome to submit as many screenshots as they would like, for as many categories as they would like. TCE's staff will choose the best screenshot in each category to put in the video, and if there are any ties, a community poll will decide winners.
Grand Prize: The creator of the absolute BEST booty screenshot will receive 1600 Microsoft Points, a front-page screenshot feature, and 100 Reputation Points. The winning shot will be the one that most awesomely fulfills the requirements of a particular category. The more screenshots you enter in the more categories, the better your chances of winning!
Other Prizes: Additionally, individual category winners will receive at least 20 Reputation Points per winning shot. If you can win multiple categories, you can rank up on this site VERY quickly.
