    I think this is modded, I know that modded content is not allowed on forgehub, but this is a screenshot, so i don't really know. I don't understand the title of the screenshot, as mentioned before. The effect fits well with the theme though. Nice job

    Not neccessarily modded, there's three ball, so why can't there be 7 ball or whatever? sorta good screenshot but like Zombies R Us and his avatar he stol from Y35, the title doesn't make sense, unless it was a reference to alas, poor yorrick which has something to do with skulls/oddball.

    Just to clarify, this is quoted from William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Act IV, Scene III, Hamlet's first soliloquy. Hamlet met a gravedigger on his way back to Denmark, and found out the gravedigger was burying the bones of Yorick, Hamlet's childhood clown servant (jester). Hamlet was overcome with emotion at the thought of Yorick gone...


    ...i just read Hamlet in class...

    And yeah, there's a beatdown achievement with the same phrase.

    There can only be three oddballs at one time...

    My guess: Modded, which last time I checked even in screenies is a no no...

    I've posted a screenshot with modded content before, and it was even viewed by Insane, who said nothing of it. Unless you can link to a rule that directly apllies to modded content on screenshots, please do not say anything else about this.

    The title is basically a play on words, taking its roots from the phrase "Alas, poor Yorick," which Theroem gave us a little history on. The phrase is also the title of an achievement for Halo.

    As for the screenshot, I think it was a good idea, but lacks execution. Almost one half of your screenshot is empty space, which can be very unatrracting. My advice would to go back and remake and/or retake the shot to get a petter position.

    Well excuse me, Mr. Technical. I slightly remember there being a pic from a modded map, which got locked shortly after creation. And I don't know how tough Insane is on rules, but different mods react differently.

    Back on topic... I still don't get the whole Rose bit. Who the hell is Rose? I'm not quite getting the connection. I mean theres some pink stuff in the background and all over blue man, who is freakishly holding something... Could someone explain it to me, if I'm really missing it?

    The angle is crap, the picture is uninteresting and the effect is terrible.

    response to critics

    I took this screenshot to make fun of my old clan mate. I left the clan and it fell apart. so i just made it to pour salt in a wound. and i can assure you its not modded.

    There's a lot of controversey around this picture.

    I dont want to sound mean, but how DID you make it?

    I thought there was a preset max number of three oddballs on a map, but you can prove me wrong if need be.
