Personally, I don't like the idea of the shortlisting for Screenshot of the Month being based on who got the most likes, because of what robby said.
Posts made earlier in the month do tend to get more likes.
Mr. D is right, a Starburst screenie posted on the 1st by a well-liked member could get more likes than a wildline on Napoleon that was posted by a newbie on the 29th.
And for the record, no less than 5 of the screenies mentioned above appear on the
first page of the December thread, which is 11 pages long.
Also, ANY screenshot that is paying north of 3000x should be automatically shortlisted for screenshot of the month,
regardless of likes (or the comparative lack of them).
No disrespect to any of those who did make the shortlist or to MeisterMedia, but why is sapit's Magic Mirror win NOT included?
That's the
maximum win possible on that game. It simply cannot be bettered. And yet it's deemed "not good enough"?
Well if that's not good enough, then what is?
Apart from anything else, if it is based on likes, then why is lotusch's Fish Party win not included? Same for smart_croatia's 3 reel WD on IR?
Those two screenies got more likes than 4 of the screenies from that first page of the December thread.
