[Fincuan]

I guess we'll soon see how spelling errors are handled Engima egnima enigma... ffs

[Onkel Neal]

Ha ha, no problem, as long as I know what you mean, and it doesn't become a version issue (SH vs SH3 vs SH4), and you don't go back and EDIT the post. No editing posts in the MS contest threads!

Fincuan is two away from becoming our first Ace.

Damn.. I wish there was some alarm clock to notify me when this picture changes. Would deffinetly make my sleep calmer As for now I feel like I need to be on the watch while waiting this picture to be changed. It's kind of frustrating too

I have an idea of setting the specific time when does next picture will be added and time limit for the picture to be solved.

Anyway I like this kind of game really

[Onkel Neal]

The life of a sub skipper is very hard. He never knows when a target will appear over the horizon, when the enemy will strike before him, or when another skipper in the wolfpack will sink the ship he is stalking. He knows he has a limited supply of torpedoes and he has to make each one count.

I thougt so u're gonna say that Nevermind.. will try to keep my eyes PEELED :rotfl:
If my roof totaly comes off, u'll know why :rotfl:

[XabbaRus]

You don't alter the pictures in anyway apart from cropping it?

[Onkel Neal]

In one previous pic I did remove the crosshair lines, but other than that, no. I intend to leave future screens unaltered, too. Good point, thanks.
