The Rules
Here is the battlefield [http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/4927/war2blank860d04jd5.jpg] - soldier after soldier will fight here, you must send more soldiers into the breach...Why? Why do we fight? What is the point? The Objective? TO WIN THE WAR! NOW GET OUT THERE AND FIGHT!

[li]You aren't an artist or you didn't drink your power [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRuNxHqwazs]thirst [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-3qncy5Qfk]? Me neither, it's a stick war for a reason, it's easy and doesn't take up too much time, unless of course you get a tad creative but that makes it all the better.[/li]
----
[li]What do we use to fight? Photo Editing Software such as: Adobe Photoshop CS3, Macromedia Fireworks, and best of all, MS Paint...and whatever the hell a MAC comes with but chances are you also got some cool Tablet with that >_>[/li]
----
[li]Add only one stick figure at a time, and make sure he is killing or at least attempting to kill 1 target; EX: In the starting image there is 1 soldier awaiting the onslaught, lets say that the next person decides to put a picture of someone on the opposite side of cover lobbing a grenade over, and has the picture showing the grenade in mid-air, the next person then has the choice to show a sniper on the other side shooting the grenade and killing both targets. Let your imagination run wild - just make sure it doesn't go in vain.[/li]
----
[li]There is no limitation to what you can use to kill, swords, tanks, Fuel Air Bombs, whatever, just make sure you only add 1 soldier, now, that soldier doesn't really have to be in view but we have to know the direction of attack and what we're being killed with, but only keep them out of view if you must, like if you are bringing in an AC-130 or something, we don't want things to get cluttered, and when you take the next picture and "shop it up" - please be a dear and try your hardest to remove clutter - even if it's half-assed, we need the space; EX: if there is a picture of someone being blown to bits with a High-Explosive grenade, when it's your turn, remove the explosion, and cover the ground in a black or grey "scorched" looking color. Capische?[/li]

[li]NO ANIMATED .GIFS!!! Sorry, but I shouldn't have to explain why this will fuck up the whole game, despite how awesome it would be, it would be more time consuming thus resulting in inconsistency, and not everyone knows how to properly edit or add to an animated .gif, and seriously, that's too much work. This could work on a more populated image based board (like... 4chan's /.gif >_>) but it's not going to here.[/li]
I now declare war upon all escapist members!!! Here's the first to the battle...he seems eager...

I'll make this quick yet detailed:
Step 1: Copy or Save previous picture and edit it with software.
Step 2: Save your final result.
Step 3: Open a new tab and go to either www.imageshack.us or www.photobucket.com and upload the picture - I recommend imageshack because it will be very quick and easy and that's what we need right now.
Step 4: The website should give you a forum code to post, but if that does not work, then do the following:
------------- 1. Right Click the image and click "view image" - this is important.
------------- 2. Copy the URL of that image, which should be in the address bar since you right-clicked view image.
------------- 3. Come back to the thread and type "img" but replace the quotes with brackets [] - then paste the URL and type "/img" and replace the quotes with Brackets. The reason you have to "replace the quotes with brackets" Is because if I type it with the brackets then escapist's site will assume that I'm trying to post an image, and the instructions will not show.
Step 5: Click preview
Step 6: If you followed instructions then it should have worked, so click post.
Step 7: It should be a hell of a lot easier for you now, so repeat here on after.
