Passing the Torch

[steamtacular]

I've made my point anyways. Hopefully the non-Americans will remember it when they're watching the Olympics

[sPINELESSjELLY]

One day, some of us realized we could combine our individual efforts in doing a thing we love to do - taking screenshots in a videogame - and transform it into a collective labor.

 

It gave a new meaning in what we were doing (not that it needed any) so we joined with joy and enthusiasm, we got help from others and helped others join us, people who never knew each other came here to discuss this thing or simply to comment on everyone else's efforts, people who hardly speak the language asked for instructions, people who never knew to use bbcode learned everything in hours, we worked together for days and it was pure fun.

 

Now, I may be naive, but I think this little, insignificant, internet community-based effort somehow captured the sense of the Olympics much better than stadiums and star champions and tv sport shows and sponsors and politicians usually do. It is a group achievement, nobody gets anything out of it except sheer spiritual pleasure and, I believe, made us stronger as a collective. The Nexus imageshare has always been a very welcoming, interesting, talent-awarding and creativity-stimulating place and now, imho, it is even more.

 

I can't comment on your political opinions. But this has nothing to do with politics (and if it does, it could serve as a paragon). The fact is that you cannot put out that torch. You do not have the power, and you do not have the right.

SJ, you put it perfectly. I'm off for the day. Got work to go to.

[sPINELESSjELLY]

Updated the Wallpaper page.

[dirk45]

Great work Yagho, I'll keep the other one updated for those that still link to it. It also now links to yours as well.

 

And while Steamtacular didn't necessarily handle himself as well as maybe he should have, I did say to post pictures"...in celebration, protest, or mockery of the 2012 Summer London Olympics" in my pic's description. Weather he read that or not is neither here nor there. I do find his manner disruptive, argumentative, and needlessly belligerent. That being said, I think we have an end to our relay when we need it.

When we decide to end this, we should update all our pages to have a choice at the very bottom: one where you click on a banner and it takes you to Steamtacular's pic, ending it on a divisive and pessimistic note; and another banner should take you to a much more optimistic picture, somehow gathering many of our characters around a great brazier ( I think the one in Windhelm would do nicely), maybe with a combination of follower mods and Photo Shop or something. It's just an idea.

[Deleted4308040User]

I just wanted to say I apologize for seeming like a butt earlier. I just didn't want this thread to get locked due to some possible political argument. With that said, Dirk I like you idea of ending this with all the characters in a shot together. I had in mind to do a shot possibly as a massive collage of all pictures forming another picture, possibly of the Olympic torch. We would need a bunch more shots for that to work of course.

Also a quick update: I'm doing all of this from my phone atm since my neighborhood was hit by a small tornado that thankfully didn't touch down fully. Idk how long it will take for power to be restored as the storm took down a bunch of trees and powerlines. If anything though, I'll try to keep up with my phone for now.
