    This might be cool.
    Question: Is it the standard 'find a host and paste the link' for screenshots, here?

    Edit with Answer: Yes. lol

    Why is Australia not mentioned in the Rules ... We always get left out of everything, despite having a heavy presence in the game.
    The southern hemisphere exists too people :pensive:

    @ZOS_JasonLeavey: great contest idea. I'll be sure to join in. :)
    All participants must be 18 or older at the time of entry, must possess a valid form of identification, and a legal resident of (i) one of the fifty United States (or the District of Columbia) and excluding the territories, military installations and commonwealths; or (ii) the member countries of the European Union to enter, and verification may be required before a winner is announced. Verification of age and residency requirements may be required before the winner is announced. All applicable federal, national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations apply. Void where prohibited, restricted, or taxed by law.
    I'm a bit confused by the geographic limitation though. For example, players from Switzerland, Australia or Norway wouldn't be able to participate?
    Wololo.

    What if you already have the Bristlegut Piglet on your account? Can you still participate and give the code away if you win?

    I Agree why are some of the players not able to participate?

    1) Buy a multitask printer with a scan function.
    2) Scan your screen.
    3) Print the result.
    4) Take a picture of the printed version with your phone.
    5) Post the picture in the proper topic.

    Come on, it's easy!

    You can also use the Print Screen key by default, as stated above.
    Wololo.

    Cool competition, but excluding people who do not live in USA and EU is very insulting. You should either allow players from every country in the world to participate or not have any competition at all.

    @ZoS_PaulSage Someone REALLY needs to redefine how the Dev tracker shows ZoS posts. This kinda thing should show in the Dev Tracker, so people know about dev events and comments. Right now, the only way to see if a ZoS officially talked about anything is to browse around looking for the green Oboros at the front of a thread and then dig thru the thread, hoping that the official word isnt something from May 2014.
    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    Might have been us, we did kill a red guy that was there when we got there, but I think he looked different? In http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/143599/eso-orienteering-challenge-day-2 there's basically the same picture I have, but taken by my partner, and there you can see a bit of our victim. So sorry if we killed you but we took the safe path. ;P I can however say that it was an even fight and you (or whoever it was) almost took us both down. :)

    Well, that looks quite like my character with the preferred barbarian club lying next to the body and the red / black guild tabard. Well, better safe than sorry :D I can understand that.
