Having trouble getting that jump pack that you want? Or maybe there's a certain hat that you can't afford quite yet. Well here is your chance to earn yourself... 1,000 Points!! That's right, I said 1,000 points! I know Halloween's already over, but who said you can't dress up still?
It's simple. Choose your best asset that you think will win you this easy, simple contest and then take a screenshot and upload it on this thread right here! I will judge them well, whichever I think is the best looking and the most creative. This contest starts today on November 4th, 2014 and ends on November 20th, 2014. That's two whole weeks! Wow! That gives you plenty of time to make your character look spiffy. So get started soon, the earlier, the better!

**Don't know how to take a screenshot in Garry's Mod? Well here's how:
1. Simply be in a prop hunt game on the RLG server with your costume prepped and ready to go.
2. Press f12. Yes, f12, it's as easy as cake! (unless you changed it, f12 should be the default key to take screenshots)
~~ Don't know where your screenshot went? Don't worry, after you pressed that little f12 button it's saved and waiting for you once you exit Garry's Mod (but don't worry about the screenshot, it will always be there, go ahead, finish killing that plant or that chair!)
3. Exit Prop Hunt and Garry's Mod and once you're fully out of Garry's Mod a little window will pop up that will be called "Screenshot Uploader."
4. Now, there are multiple ways to get your screenshot here in this thread, but I find this the easiest: on the Screenshot Uploader screen simply click "View Online Library". (should be a button at the bottom of the screenshot uploader). The image should pop up in your Steam browser.
5. Right click your picture that comes up and click "Copy Link Address".
6. Open up a new tab in whatever browser you're using (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer [if you use IE I swear I will slap the modern into you {lol kidding}], etc.) and right click, paste into a new tab and your image should, again, pop up.
7. Click your image that is in your internet browser and a new tab should pop up with your image, again. But this time, right click and copy the link at the top of your screen.
8. Now that you have your image link ready to use, simply come to this thread, click reply, and a bunch of little buttons should pop up at the top of the screen. If you know what it usually looks like, click the little button that has a picture of what looks like a scenic mountain (and if you don't, mouse over the buttons until you see one that says "Insert Image"). Simply right click and paste your link in the image url box and click "insert image". Now you're done!
Here's an example of how it should come up (except, with your character of course):
