Er...I might as well do it now.

I liked all of the entries, and this was a very tough decision for me. Even choosing between your own entries was hard.

Here are the results:

:gold-medal: 1st: CJ with "You know, I don't think this disaster movie is going to work..."
:silver-medal: 2nd: thecostumedanceparty with "They're after us. Duck and cover."
:bronze-medal: 3rd: Vicious Vixen with "When the enemy bombers come overhead they're gonna be so confused!"

Congratulations, CJ :) !

I like them!

By the way, what are we doing about Posted Image Red Ribbons? Adam's the contest leader, so it's up to him to lay out any conditions for them.

"Driving on this road is one large mouse trap."

Personally, I'd like to give a red ribbon to certain comments that are over the top and successful. I already know a couple I'd give them for for previous ones. Seeing as this can be a commonality, I'd presume that the person would need at least 5 great over-the-top phrases for a ribbon (these are ones liked and generally acclaimed by other members).

Furthermore, if specific images get a lot of big publicity and good answers, I feel the image holder should have a ribbon as well. However, one great picture won't make a red ribbon. Again, let's say 5 great hosted images. So far I don't think there's any specific image worthy of red ribboning (I could be wrong).

Does this make sense? Anyone agree/disagree?

I sort of understand it.

So, a very good comment will score a 'point' of some sort, and 5 'points' will earn a Red Ribbon?

Exactly. And on the host's end, 5 intriguing pictures will qualify by the same standards for a red ribbon.

Maybe that's too much? I think it's better if I make it 4 instead of 5 (for each).

I think so. 5 does seem like rather a lot.

Ribbons are supposed to be tough to get... I'll keep it at 4 though. You can get it in 3 if all are consecutive star answers (or pictures if host).

"Pikarchu used Discharge."

The car then stops.

"Pikarchu fainted!"

That's one whole caption, BTW.

Forgot to judge this. Sorry guys.

1) thecostumedanceparty with "Change is good."
2) CJ with "Introducing Nintendo's brand new political simulator: "Yes Wii Can!" "
3) Vicious Vixen with "So you're getting the chicken kung pow?"

Difficult to separate these...

I think it would be best to wait until you get back.

Have fun!

Winners:

1. CJ with Chicken Run
2. PL with PRECIOUS

Both were great entries, I just felt CJ really grasped the entire pic's theme.
