[p align="start"]

[p align="start"]Love is in the air, Captains!

[p align="start"]To mark the Lover's Festival in Skull and Bones, we're inviting you to make your way to the Ruins of Luk Khun Outpost, where a couple of very romantic baby hippos have taken up residence for the occasion.

ABOUT THE LOVER'S FESTIVAL

Community Screenshot Contest – Starting August 24, you can submit screenshots to win prizes,more details below.

THE CHALLENGE

[p align="start"]Head to the Ruins of Luk Khun Outpost and take your best shot. Think of it as a selfie moment, but make it worthy of a Kingpin.

[p align="start"]

[p align="start"]Here's how to stand out:

Bring your crew! Group screenshots have a higher chance of being selected. The more Captains in the frame, the better.
Strike a pose! Use your emotes to set the mood. Playful, dramatic, romantic - the choice is yours.
Dress the part! This is your moment to flex your Captain's finest fits.
Get creative with framing! The Ruins of Luk Khun Outpost and its residents make for a beautiful backdrop.
And remember, love takes many forms: friendship, your style, the sea, or the hippos themselves. There's no wrong way to celebrate.

Sail to the Ruins of Luk Khun Outpost and take your screenshot using in-game Photo Mode near the romantic hippos (HUD/UI hidden, no external editing). Make sure that your captain is visible! Screenshots can be captured in Steam at any time using the F12 key.
