[ti]Red ribbon[/ti]Caption Contest Revival

Now that we have a plethora of new participating members, I figured I'd attempt to bring back my favorite contest: The Caption Contest. Feel free to add this to the old thread as needed. Rules are simple: I post a picture, everyone tries to come up with a caption (I'll say no more than 10 words, maybe we can make it less/harder as it goes on). The winner that I choose, will get to post the next picture (and then they choose the next winner) and so on and so on.

So here is the first picture:

Good luck to all!

(I'm glad to see this back :D ! Also, are there any prizes, when does the contest close, and is there any limit to the number of entries?)

Welcome to our fortress tall
Take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world

I don't know... what should be the prize?

I'll give you guys a week to guess.

I think for the first one 2 guesses since I didn't tell anyone, but I think trhe next one we should only have one. That's just my opinion. Makes it more challenging and requires more thinking.

Any thoughts?

Closing date: Sounds fair enough.
Prizes: I don't remember the exact numbers, but when we did this last time, it was something like 50 posts for 1st place, 25 for 2nd, 10 for 3rd, and 5 for everyone else.
Number of guesses: I don't really mind what you do here. I think last time the limit was three, but only the best one was entered.

I don't think people should get 5 for entering, however I agree with 50/1, 25/2, 10/3 as well as everything else.

I guess three entries are okay for this round, but maybe it can get tougher rules as it goes on or something.

It's just something I do to reward participation. If you don't want to, though, then that's up to you.

Okay then. If I had my choice, it would be just the first place winner getting 25 posts only because there are so many other contests and I find the game a matter of fun rather than a game for free points. If I could initiate this, and the runner-ups get 10 posts, I think that's what I'd like the most.

1st place: 25

2nd place: 10

3rd place: 10

Possible honorable mention: 5

Well, if that's what you want to do, then you can. I'd likely stick with it if I end up hosting future rounds, for the sake of consistency.

That's just what I prefer, but then again like I said, I'm not the one giving out the points.

I upped the post count for winners (please see below)

1st place: Catface with "Mission Complete. Hover Cat returning to hanger 18."
I lol’d. You didn't even need the second chance you asked for. +30 posts

2nd place: rmnldr with “Really, my legs? This ends right meow.”
You know me with puns… :) +20 posts

3rd place: Shiny Star with “Legs are too mainstream.”
Pretty funny +10 posts

Since Catface is the winner, he is the one who gets to post the next picture.

That's how it worked in the old contest, and I assume that's how Adam's running it this time.

Yeah that is right.

I know, pretty lame. I'll try coming up with something better.
