Caption Action- Challenge 1 to be posted 5/9/2011 (Monday) check post 66!

[Kate!]

Ok, I have obtained permission to host a new game, detailed below. It will run alongside BB for ten weeks and have a BB theme to tie in with it.

The game is called "Caption Action".

There will be ten rounds, round ten will be the Final.

12 Contestants are required and I would also like people to apply to be Judges(5).

Each week is a different "round" whereby competitors have to caption pictures as wittily as they can and the Judges (myself included) will award points, which will be totalled up to see who is eliminated at each stage. The rounds will all have a Big Brother theme and a couple of rounds have an added twist. A caption is simply a sentence/quote that is funny and/or witty.
One person will be eliminated each week, I will start a new thread for each of the "rounds".

When we reach Round 10, we will be down to our three finalists. For that I have planned to hold a forum vote, combined with judges scores!!

Please apply in this thread and specify if you want to be a player or a judge :D

Launch Date - Monday 5th September

I dont think there will be an award for this......there seems to be loads been giving out lately.

[Kate!]

I asked for permission before I posted this Eoin, and some people like to have awards for taking part in games. Pretty Please ;)

[Iceman]

Not my decision Admin decision im afraid. Just take it that there isn't and if that changes then you could get someone to make one then.

Okay, fair enough.

[CharlieO]

Sounds quite good.

[Kate!]

Sounds quite good.

I think it will be really good fun, but frankly I am gutted that we can't have an award for it, and therefore I don't think it will get the response I was hoping for. :bawling: We shall see. Sign up anyway peeps and I will plead the case for an award.

and thank you Charlie :)

[Shaun]

I'd be interested in being a judge :)

That has nothing to do with it. people dont care about awards on here

[CharlieO]

Yea I don't care about awards really. The feeling of winning would be substantial enough if it were to happen. I'd be interested in being a contestant or judge. I think a contestant would be fun but I don't think I am witty enough.

[Kate!]

Eoin, I see your point and I know its not all about the award but when I have done my elimination games in the past people have asked for an award to be included and all the major games seem to have them so I was going off that. Anyhow even without an award I am hopeful there will be enough interest and it will be a fun game :D

Charlie I think you would make a great contestant! you are one of the funniest people on here.

[Ryan.]

I would like to be a contestant :D

[Kate!]

One application for judge, one for contestant, one for either so far.

[InOne]

Who to :shocked:

[Vicky.]

Who to :shocked:

Well there was the two given for the mole, the two pub quiz, elimination...

Sure theres been more but I cant think right now.

Basically, the games that require a lot of time and effort to take part in should (rightly) get awards. This seems to be something that the contestants could (not saying they will be) just take 10 seconds on once a week.

[Kate!]

I would hope they would spend more than ten seconds on their entry.Coming up with witty entries for ten weeks and outdoing 11 other contestants would be worthy of recognition I thought. I am sorry I asked for an award for this now, didn't want to cause a fuss. Just to share a fun game with fms.

[Jords]

Fancy getting on the high horse about awards...............

[Kate!]

Never mind that Mr Jords.lol. ;)

Would you like to be a contestant, yah?

[Novo]

I will be a contestant

[Kate!]

[Kate!]

I don't know what a caption is D:

A sentence beneath the picture, to make people laugh.

Someone post an example please???

[Chuck]

Ok, but don't keep me as a contestant if you don't get enough contestants. :)

[Kate!]

Lol. if I dont get enough contestants I will just change the game format a bit to accommodate people. I don't know you well yet ram513, so am in the dark over what sort of judge you would be. :D

[Iceman]

Thank you Eoin, appreciated. :D

[nicole_burks]

I'll give it a try.. I dunno how well it'll go but i'll try :tongue:

[Kate!]

Excellent, first female contestant.

welcome Nicole. great to have you in the game.

It will go fine, great potential to be lots of fun. hope you enjoy it.

[Scream]

I'd like to try :)

[Kate!]

I'd like to try :)

Awesome. I have added you to the list. Glad you have joined us and hope you enjoy the game, it will start more or less when normal BB does. :)

[nicole_burks]

Excellent, first female contestant.

welcome Nicole. great to have you in the game.

It will go fine, great potential to be lots of fun. hope you enjoy it.
Okay :hugesmile:

[Kerry]

I'll have a go. Though will need a kick when I need to do something

[Kate!]

Yay!!! Kerry :D Really pleased you're in.

I will remind you if necessary, beauty of this game though is you don't have to be online at set times, just get your entries in on time, I will prompt anyone if its getting near deadline so all should run smoothly.

- awaits some smart alec to say they will kick Kerry....swines! -

[nicole_burks]

Kate can you tell me too please?
I think it might be difficult for me, because our time zones are different! :)

[Kate!]

Kate can you tell me too please?
I think it might be difficult for me, because our time zones are different! :)

:) Of course I will Nicole. The time difference won't be a problem as contestants will have 3 or 4 days to think about and post entries, then the judges vote, then results, then its time for the next round. That's the format, one round per week, so quite a leisurely game.

[Kate!]

Quick amendment fao Judges. ram513 has opted out due to study commitments. So we are one less in number. Not planning to enlist another judge at this stage, so we are 5 for the duration. Have you all got your PMs with all the game info? I haven't heard back from two of you, could you just confirm whether....

a. you are still alive, haven't been taken for alien experimentation and are still Judges! lol

b. you do/don't have any questions?

tx.

Edit: All Judges confirmed :D

[Kate!]

bump

[Niamh.]

Oh I'll be a judge instead! I'm crap at doing captions!
