Over many years of purchasing 2600, I've realized that there's really only two reasons I trek to my local Barnes & Noble and pay the $5; the letters section, and the payphone pictures. While the articles and other 'technical' content is usually a bit lacking, I find the letters section to be vastly entertaining and the pay phone pictures to be fairly interesting. Due to this fact, I've been brainstorming to come up with some similar scheme to get readers to send in pictures of something, and I believe we're going to try... flags.

That's right, send in your digital photographs of funny and amusing flags, and as we release new e-zines, the contributors will be awarded points for their images, which will in turn rank them on the CAU Capture the Flag page. The more amusing your flag, and the more obvious the proof that you actually 'captured' it (and not just digitally), the more points you will receive. For example, if your image is of a flag still on the pole, you'll most likely just get a single point, unless it's an extremely unique or amusing flag. If the picture is of you, wrapped in the flag, while the flag is on fire, then you'll probably get more points, unless the flag is an extremely common flag that you could have easily purchased at your local Walmart. All in all, the points given will be decided upon by the panel of judges (CAU), and the results posted both to the Capture the Flag page as well as listed in the zine as new zines are released. The images themselves will also be included in the zine pak, as well as linked to the user's listing on the page.

Please submit all flag imagery to zine (@) caughq.org for it to be considered.
