Screenshots
From CoCWiki
A screenshot (also referred to as an SS) is an image taken of one's computer screen. In CoC, they are often used to provide proof of others breaking the rules.

Taking a Screenshot
Pressing the Print Screen (often abbreviated Prt Scr, Print Scrn, Prt Scn, Prt Sc, or Prnt Scrn) will take a screenshot and copy it to your clipboard on Windows and Linux. On Macs, press command+shift+3 to send a screenshot to the desktop or also hit the control key to copy it to the clipboard.
To take a picture of only part of the screen on Windows Vista, you can use the snipping tool. On Macs use the command+shift+3 combination (and again hit the control key to copy it to the clipboard).
Saving a Screenshot
Windows users: Open up a program such as paint which is installed on your computer by default and press "Ctrl + V". The image is now there, to save it you can either press "Ctrl + S", click "File -> Save" or say yes to saving when closing the window.
Screenshots as Evidence
In the event that another player breaks the rules, a screenshot is often used as evidence. To send a screenshot to an MP, you have two options:
- Email mp@callofcombat.com (or a specific mail when speaking to an mp).
- Go to a site such as ImageShack and upload the file from your computer, then give the link in a private message to the mp.
Sometimes it's good to have multiple screenshots.
