Event 2: Gaming Caption Contest ~ Submissions

Postby Oranjui » July 22nd, 2015, 6:30 am

This is a submission thread. Official final captions will be organized at the end of this post and the thread will locked (after we're done figuring out what they are; voting will take place in the Discussion thread).

If you're looking for the discussion thread, click here.



Contest Information n junk


(a bunch of the stuff here is copied from the main thread in the RO subforum, pasted here for convenience)

Participants: This event is a team event, meaning the whole team enters this event. As a whole. Wholly. Everyone participates.

About: The Gaming Caption Contest is a game created by MessengerOfDreams back in 2009. The goal of the game is to give an appropriate and preferably funny caption to each of the 7 given screenshots.

Here, for the sake of the Runolympics, we'll use the following system to decide who the winner is: for each screenshot, Doram and Star king will rank the team captions from favourite to least favourite. The winner of the event will be the team with the most winning captions. In case of a tie, we'll look at the number of second place captions, and if that's a tie too, the third place captions and so on. It is similar to the process used in the real life Olympics to determinate the overall winner of the Olympics.

=== SCREENSHOT 6: Pokkén Tournament ===


=== SCREENSHOT 7: Super Mario 64 (Corrupted) ===

Rules:
  • One caption per team for each picture (in the final submission list at the bottom of this post; we'll be voting on/discussing this as we go in the other thread).
  • However, there is no minimum or maximum length for your captions. It could be a one-letter caption, a dialog or a whole backstory. Your choice.
  • The caption can describe what happens before, during or after the picture. Once again, your choice.
  • Swearing in the captions is okay, but try to avoid gore and sexual content.
  • A team can skip pictures if they are out of ideas.



Posting Guidelines


For the sake of organization, let's set up a system for suggestions. Format your post as follows if you're submitting your ideas for captions:

Example 1 wrote:Screenshot #: My Caption
Example 2 wrote:Screenshot 2: He's running away and stuff
Screenshot 6: Look I'm doing stuff
Screenshot 6: I'm captioning the same screenshot twice because I have multiple ideas
Screenshot 7: Wheeee
(please submit better captions than these)

Submit as many captions for as many of the pictures as you want. If you want to post multiple times, that's fine (in fact, it's encouraged, so that we know you updated your suggestions), but don't post several times in a row; instead, simply edit your last post.

If you're not submitting captions and simply wish to discuss the contest or ask questions, or vote for whose captions you want to see in our final entries, refer to the Discussion thread.



Final Team Captions


1) The new Dentist mario game gets up close and personal with its patients.
2) Link suddenly regrets voting yes on Bill 42, which authorizes the use of force to collect interest on loans.
3) If pushing the button gives you a million dollars, but at the cost of a random robot's life somewhere to the left of you, would you do it? Yes. For science. You monster.
4) It's dangerous to go fast alone..
5) Transmute wheat seeds into creeper seeds, they said. Infinite gunpowder, they said. It'll be a blast, they said. They weren't wrong.
6) Matched with the opponent of legendary strength, Pikachu contemplates Suicune-cide to preserve his Trainer's honor.
7) Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.




You have until the 25th of July, 11:59pm PST to submit your team captions!

Lmao welp.

1) Unlike an ordinary pet, playing leapfrog with a chain chomp is a great way to lose your balls... or your life. (haha it's funny because testicles)
2) Link suddenly regrets voting yes on Bill 42, which authorizes the use of force to collect interest on loans. (because link is a hero nobody expects him to have a gambling problem)
3) If pushing the button gives you a million dollars, but at the cost of a random robot's life somewhere to the left of you, would you do it? Yes. For science. You monster. (2metaphysical17me)
4) Sonic sux. (Sometimes the best captions are the simplest ones)
5) Transmute wheat seeds into creeper seeds, they said. Infinite gunpowder, they said. It'll be a blast, they said. They weren't wrong. (alternately, something about a lagbomb. It funny because Minecraft is ♥♥♥♥ tier code)
6) Matched with the opponent of legendary strength, Pikachu contemplates Suicune-cide to preserve his Trainer's honor. (damn ven a suicide pun that's ♥♥♥♥ up, well so is LIFE)
7) Winners don't do drugs. (I dunno guys there's probably some pun to make here but I'm not experienced enough with all the corruption stuff on YouTube or wherever to find it)

So uh. Yeah. Just gonna leave now.

I don't even care anymore I'm just going to write down the first things that come to mind even though they're utter ♥♥♥♥ just so that we have something. And you guys can feel better about your captions because they're bound to be far better than mine. Also I apologize in advance for the brain damage that may occur after reading this post // edit: thanks ven

Screenshot 2: What has my life come down to
Screenshot 3: I really hope this kills you
Screenshot 4: B-b-but... Newfags aren't supposed to be able to triforce
Screenshot 5: Come to me my children
Screenshot 6: I don't know what this game is or what to say about it
Screenshot 7: True beauty (we don't discriminate around here guys come on)

please kill me

Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.

(if EVERYONE somehow forgets, then our choices are

1) The new Dentist Mario game gets up close and personal with its patients.
2) Link suddenly regrets voting yes on Bill 42, which authorizes the use of force to collect interest on loans.
3) If pushing the button gives you a million dollars, but at the cost of a random robot's life somewhere to the left of you, would you do it? Yes. For science. You monster.

7) Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

Copying this here. Just in case for some reason the judges were expecting our most final version in the submissions topic. 10 minutes to go, so it's unlikely that we'll get together to discuss any changes, and this is (AFAIK) our most complete list. Also some minor grammar.

    1) The new Dentist Mario game gets up close and personal with its patients.
    2) Link suddenly regrets voting yes on Bill 42, which authorizes the use of force to collect interest on loans.
    3) If pushing the button gives you a million dollars, but at the cost of a random robot's life somewhere to the left of you, would you do it? Yes. For science. You monster.
    4) It's dangerous to go fast alone..

    6) Matched with an opponent of legendary strength, Pikachu contemplates Suicune-cide to preserve his Trainer's honor.
    7) Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

In case of a mistake tell me as soon as possible. I will only accept a change to a caption that has already been suggested.
