Welcome to the super-fantabulous, overly-awesome Caption Contest! The rules for this are quite simple:

1) Every few days, a picture will be posted by me that will more-than-likely deal with something from the Homestar universe. To help those that don't check the forum as much as others, I'll be sending out PMs (and possible IMs if I know your screen name) when a new round begins.

2) The object of the game is to post the funniest caption for the provided image. There will be three judges in this game: Ju Ju Master, Susan, and myself. At the end of each round, judges will score every contestant's caption (on a 10-scale) before the scores for each person are averaged together. Those who score the highest at the end of each round will receive a specific number of points:
  • First place receives 7 points
  • Second place receives 5 points
  • Third place receives 3 points
  • Fourth place receives 1 point
On occasion, there will be bonuses in rounds that can be anything from no points for the 2nd place person to the last-place person receiving a point. The final (10th) round will always have a bonus attached to it.

3) Those who post captions may only post captions of less than 30-words in length (excluding things exclusive to the Homestar Runner universe). Any longer, and the contestant will be disqualified from the round or offered to make a new caption. Contestants must also post the image for the round with their entry.

4) Do not alter the image of the round in any way.

5) Unless you are told to redo your caption by one of the judges if it doesn't follow the rules, do not post more than one caption. Doing so will result in me randomly choosing the caption to judge.

6) Captions must be posted within 5 days of the new round or else you are disqualified from the round. Judges must also provide their scores for the round in a timely manner.

7) There will be 10 spaces for sign-up. I will not accept any more people beyond that point.

8) If you choose to be a contestant, please make sure that you are able to stay in this contest the entire time. Also, please try to post captions even if you are in last place; bonuses can always bring you up near the top.

9) If there are ties at the end of the game, those who have the same point values receive the same rank.


The prizes for this game are...FORUM TROPHIES! That's right: put them in your avatar, put them in your signature, put it under your bed and never look at it again! There is a spot on every trophy for the contestant's name if they win it.

1st Place: Image
2nd Place: Image
3rd Place: Image

(woo, gradients!)


As stated earlier, there will be 10 contestants in this game. [s]Go ahead and sign up right now.[/s] Sign-ups are done, yo.

1) The Noid
2) The Zephyr Song
3) Exhibit A
4) The Joe
5) Neoguy
6) Acekirby
7) Chichindrich
8) Rocoramore
9) Dacheet15
10) sci-fi greg


Due to a bit of confusion in the sign-ups, and me not being able to work it out in time, there is one alternative contestant that will take over with the person's number of points if they happen to quit.

1) Capt. Ido Nos

Sorry, no more alternatives beyond him, though.

Keep those sign-ups coming people, or else I'll attack you with some nuclear device I found under my bed.

He's been trolling. I highly doubt it was a real request.

Crap--sorry I haven't been active in this thread the last few days; I was at my dad's house being distracted with Resident Evil 4 on the Wii :P. But now that that's all out of the way, here is the current list of competitors:

1) The Noid
2) The Zephyr Song
3) Exhibit A
4) The Joe
5) Neoguy
6) Acekirby
7) Chichindrich
8) Rocoramore
9) Dacheet15
10) sci-fi greg

(I excluded Mini Moose because from what I remember from a few days ago, he was pretty much asking to be banned. Since he wasn't too serious then, I'm going to have to agree with Ju Ju Master on his request.)


If I made a mistake with this list, please do tell me. Since there was a bit of confusion on the contestants with me not being able to sort it out in time, I'll put Capt. Ido Nos as an alternative contestant (however, there won't be any others). If one of you happens to quit, the Captain will take over your spot with the number of points you have.

The first round should start around Monday, since I am forced into going to some beach this weekend.

Round 1 is here!

Try to make the funniest caption for this image. There won't be a bonus for this round.

Broken a couple rules here - you need to post the picture above your caption, and the caption can be no more than 30 words long.

And so, the people of Tiny Homestaria all lined up to present their offerings to their giant Cheat god, as was their daily ritual.
