Dinosaur Invasion! A PHOTO SHOWGAMETHING! (?)

I wish we had more dinosaurs to create a Jurassic Park but also look forward to seeing everyone design on subject.
Here's mine so far.

Hey everyone, Castiel"s entry is a great design, but this is not necessarily a good submission for this contest.

Now, everyone's artistic creation is welcome in my contests. But to score well with this version of the rules, this submission should be edited.

First, it must be only one screen shot. This is a great scene but it's two shots. We will score both, but consider the higher value of one of them, unless he resubmits a new edit in the future.

Second, this contest is intended to solicit candid snapshots that would generate a headline in the SF news like, "Dinosaurs attack Town Square" or "Dino invasion spreads to Squidport!". This is not necessarily a contest to display this event's prizes and features, although they may be in there.

Highest scoring pictures will have many dino spawn, and as many characters as possible in their best fight mode. Preferably armed!

The bonus would be awarded to any screenshot that manages to collect the entire first batch after a four hour break, which I read in the hint thread is 30 spawn. That's not impossible, just requires patience, because THERE can be 50 in reserve. You could theoretically have a scene mobbed with dinosaurs and SFers, if you know how to move characters around town in a group using a KEM.

Hopefully enthusiastic submissions willl come in over the next few days while you consider which part of your town you want to depict being overtaken. And THEN, how you'll get SFers to appear armed and hostile!

Great idea!

Original choice for Post

Yes i read the rules, however due to "wandering" characters i couldnt decide.

Tips for peoples:

A)Place some roads in the desired area (since most of my characters do in door tasks in 1 building i placed that building near the desired area..released them then set tasks manually for 162 characters) a large amount of characters began wandering to quickly and some are stuck in an off screen area.

B)Plan the area, as noted the 1st pic is kinda empty, the reason is that is an area which i've deemed done, not picture worthy (for this contest) but done so i dont change anything around there, after taking the picture it seemed empty so moved some items, and thusly the other 3 pictures were taken/

C)Make sure you know what characters ya wanna use, this makes things a bit easier and allows you to keep those characters in a defined area.

D)Between a wandering character and a "still" animation i will choose the still animation.
However the road issue comes to place, with no roads characters will get stuck, some of my favorite characters are stuck behind those pictures: Fracker, Scoutmaster Homer Blob, Citzen solar...etc. Choosing a wandering character will have issues trying to get them where you want, some walk on cement roads the others on both cement and dirt, all in all it took me about an hour to simply set up the pictures because the Dinos tend to wander if you move the screen to a new place (making you wait all over again) so make sure every detail is down to the smallest minute possible change.

Backstory:
Bart mech left before any pics could be taken... my main challenge was to get a shot of Blinky fully out of the swamp+ Hank using flamethrower.
I dont think ive done that but still at least CBG is using his nunchucks, and Petroleus is causing mayhem alongside his brethren.

Here is mine. Please submit your entries in this form,
a single picture and a score explanation. (Back stories are welcome of course) http://i.imgur.com/xjO9VXl.jpg
This picture has 19 dinosaurs, 1 character with a weapon (Lou), and two characters in fighting mode (Homer fighting most dangerous game, Cookie defending her territory). So this picture has a score of (19×1)+(1×2)+(2×4)=29

This looks like a dinosaur version of West Side Story...lol

Seems a bit over complicated. Competition is nice idea but maybe needs to be a bit simpler, eg What are the dinosaurs doing in your Springfield ( with caption) ?

I don't know why this isn't being seen as the simple thing it is.

1. Open game
2. Wait about 3 minutes.
3. Watch all dinosaurs come to you.
4. Take a picture. Done.

-- If you want more points, you can put all your characters into tasks that arm them with weapons. That's all I did. Hopefully you'll catch then in the shoot.

-- If you want to be extra creative, you can drag characters there too. It's not necessary.

I expect people to post a decent first pic, then update it with a better one if the opportunity comes up.

It's not complex. People may be over thinking it though.

Please use my entry as example, folks!

Not sure this is against the rules, but above is a picture of one of my side towns from my main town. I counted 70 dinos (could be more, could be less) so I'll take the score of 70

I think that this is outside of the rules too but out of curiosity I went to visit a neighbour who I understand is having problems with their game. I am entering this on their behalf - but only if they see this post. Otherwise I am going to pretend it is from my town.

This is an image that @IckabodSchrek took of my crawl town. This is what happens when you nuke your town and leave it abandoned.
