This is an online forum game I participated in many years ago on the Game Informer magazine site. I was in the top ten for nearly a year back then and ever since I've been bringing it back to each forum I joined. And now APK's time has come.
The game is simple. I, the moderator, will post a picture in this thread. You, the players, will look over the picture and give me the funniest, wittiest, most clever caption you can think of to go along with it. After a certain time limit or number of submissions I will judge the captions and decide who I think is the funniest. The winner gets a point, and the next round begins. The one with the most points is the leader, and after enough rounds have passed, the leading total will be the winner. They will not all be video game pics but here is a pic and caption to give you an idea of what I mean...
"So, uh...is that a no to dinner and a movie then...?"Here are the general guidelines and rules...
1) Only one submission per contestant per round. Editing a submission is allowed but only to tweak a word or two. Complete reversals of submissions will be disqualified, as will all entries if more than one is given at a time.
2) The idea is to be witty and funny. So keep it relatively short and concise: it is a caption after all, not a story.
3) Swearing and sexual innuendo is allowed in small doses. A *bleep* to make the line finnier is okay, or a reference to body parts is okay, but Rated R is way too far. As Muse would say, "Keep it PG-13."
4) Since I am the judge, here are some tips. I'm
not a fan of internet humor for this contest. Things like LOL, FAIL, etc. are unoriginal. They've already been done. The more original or perfectly referenced (read: movies, music) the caption, the better.
5) The time limit for each round is
24 hours OR
15 submissions, whichever comes first. No more, no less.
6) I and I alone will judge, unless express permission is given to someone else.
7) If you want to comment on somebody's caption or lodge a complaint or anything else, do it within your post of submission. That way things don't get bogged down with useless posts. Let's keep it smooth and fun, okay guys and gals?
That's everything. If you have any questions feel free to PM them to me. And it's a game everyone, don't take anything seriously. LET'S BEGIN! The first picture please!
ADD IT!
