Get the Picture (ROUND FOUR) - A Caption Writing Game

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:27 pm

Post by zoraster »

ROUND 1 PHOTO
ROUND 2 PHOTO
ROUND 3 PHOTO
ROUND 4 PHOTO

Overall Points:

ortolan : 4 points
fat_tony : 5 points
animorpherv1 : 2 points
chevre : 1 points
yawetag : 2 points
mustilicor : 5 points
drench : 3 points
yabbaguy : 4 points
farside22 : 0 points
zang : 0 points




So you think you can make people laugh harder than others? Let's find out.

The premise behind the game is that a photo, drawing, cartoon, etc. will be posted and each player will PM me a caption. I'll then post the picture again with the choices below but without the author's name. Everyone who submitted a caption gets to vote on their favorite caption (but can't vote for themselves). Some rounds will have no directions. Some will offer directions.

Points are determined as follows:
1 point for every vote.
1 point for winning the round outright (none for tying).

Points in the final (7th) round are doubled.

Rules:
1. You may begin to play at any time... all you have to do is submit a caption by the deadline.
2. You may not vote if you did not submit a caption.
3. If you do not vote, any points from votes you received will be negated.
4. You may NOT indicate which caption is your own.
5. During the voting stage you may not campaign for a certain caption. You may not change your vote once placed.
6. You may chat as you wish during the caption submitting stage.
7. Please vote for the caption you like best; don't try and game the system. This is for fun.
8. The listing of choices will be in random order each round so as not to prejudice any voting by where it's located on the list.

I'm happy to adjust deadlines as people desire, but I prefer a quick game, so I'm saying 48 hours to submit a caption and 48 hours to vote.

I'd like to gauge interest first, so if you're interesting in playing this, please say so below! Feel free to mention it to friends.
The more the merrier, but if I can get 6+ people to say they're interested, I think I'll run it.

My /in-terest is piqued.
Fatter, but still not Tony...

Record as town: 2-4 (33%)
Record as scum: 1-0 from 1 games (Mini 1584, werewolf). But I'm totally town this time, I promise.

There was a game show called Get The Picture, which confused me initially. >_<

Someone needs to start Psychobabble and we'll have an Acrophobia trilogy going on in Mish Mash all at once.

It looks like we've got enough interest! Excellent. Round 1 will start shortly. Tell your friends. Anyone can join; all you have to do is submit a caption.

Title the message starting with GTP please as I'm essentially running three mafia games at the moment and I get a lot of PMs.

Can we change submissions mid-round after we've sent one?

sure. If you can just indicate that you've done so when you resubmit. I'll just take the last submission from each player.

I had an overload of ideas. Some where just wrong and others were lame. I went with the simple idea for now.

Lord, I am feeling exceptionally unwitty today. Hopefully I think of something to replace that with tomorrow.

I think you misspelled 'libelously misrepresented the utterances of another'.

Like, really really badly.
