The way this contest works is:
- Some one will post a picture/screenshot relating to Oblivion.
- The community (e.g. you) will then come up with a caption for that image. (funny captions work well)
- After a period of time, I will declare that caption time is over, and then everyone will vote for the caption they like best.
- After a period of time, I will tally up the votes.
- The person who gets the most votes will then choose the next image to be captioned.
In the event of a tie, that the person [in the tie] who received all their votes first is the winner. For example if the there was a two way tie between Alice and Bob, and the votes were received in this order: 1.Alice, 2.Bob, 3.Bob, 4.Alice. In this example, Bob would win because he got all of his votes first.
If you're still unsure about how the contest works, you can check out the
GTA Caption Contest and/or the
Jak and Daxter Caption Contest; this contest will function in the same way as those.
Here are the rules (PLEASE Read):
- You must vote in order to be eligible to win. Even if your caption received the most votes, if you didn't vote, you can't win.
- You are allowed to submit a maximum of 1 caption per picture. It's up to you, you can only submit one if you want to. Flaming and spamming in this topic will get you banned from the competition.
- One post each and DO NOT QUOTE SOMEBODY ELSE TO SAY HOW FUNNY THEIR CAPTION IS, POST YOUR CAPTION AND THAT IS IT... However, you may comment on a caption when you cast your vote.
- You may jump in and start participating in the contest at any time, if you are interested. There will be no sign ups. If you plan on winning though, your best bet is to start participating in the beginning, though you can start at any time.
- Something that would help me out is by including the current picture in your post if you're posting a caption - makes things a lot organized and easier for judging.
- Be original and funny!!!
- I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, but I may ask you to edit out a caption, if I find it offensive. Please comply if I do so, I'm just trying to keep it clean in here. Good rule of thumb: Jokes that include racism, sexism, ageism or any kind of other 'ism' your mind can comprehend is not allowed. Minor sexuality is allowed, though, such as saying '**bleep**' or 'sexy'.
- Have fun!
- Try to host the 'caption picture' yourself if it's your go.
- If the person doesn't add a picture within '1 Day' of being announced as the winner then the person behind them will be asked to post a picture.
- No voting for yourself!
Cut-Off Times (PLEASE READ)
Captioning:
When a picture is posted, you have '2 Days' to submit your caption, or to keep the game steady, if the whole community agrees that nobody else is going to caption a picture and they're getting bored then we'll stop captioning and start voting for who you want to win.
Voting:
After the captioning stops and the voting starts, you'll have '2 Days' to submit your vote or if the whole community agrees that nobody else is going to vote, we'll add the votes up and the winner will then get to post a picture of their choice and so we'll start again.
Thanks to Game-Sage101 for establishing these rules in the GTA Caption Contest.
