In the caption game I picked Blurf for the winner and Julie as number 2, so far I have only heard from the 3rd place winner LadyL. If I don’t hear from the 1st or 2nd place person to day I’ll award the win to LadyL.
I am sorry, I am very sick right now so I have had my puter turned off.

NP Ian - get well.

It is customary to PM the winner (1st place) first and work your way down with PMs as people fail to pick up the baton within 24h of being PMed.
Somebody correct me if I've got the rules for this wrong.

As such I'm standing by with a pic if neither Blurf nor Julie can play.

Yes Blurf turned up. But I think there was a rule, if you couldn't post a pic withing 24 hrs you pass it on.
That said, we have been very forgiving, as Seti could be down, work, or other major issues.
Maybe we should look at Beets rules. Just to start.

Give us a caption:
I didn't know there were lobster smurfs…

Yeah! As soon as I had recognized "smurfs" as "Schlümpfe", I was rotflmao ;-)

When we want to see the Beets rules we'll have to go to the very first Beets thread I fear.

When we want to see the Beets rules we'll have to go to the very first Beets thread I fear.

They have been posted after the first thread a few times but they are wayyyyyy back.

edit~ I found these at Beets give a caption XIX from 2010.
Well here are the rules. Pretty much cut and paste job.

Thread Rules

Pictures, captions, wit and sarcasm only please-any non-caption related posts will be red-x'ed and requested to be hidden for continuity sake. Wit and sarcasm will only be permitted while we wait for a new picture.

The winner picks the next picture.

Wait for the first of 10 captions or 2 days before declaring a winner.
Please try to wait for a reasonable amount of time before picking (i.e. if you notice 10 captions in the first hour, there are probably more people wanting to post a caption).
1 day will be given for the winner to post a picture, then the second place gets to post.
1 more day will be given for the second place to post a picture, then the third place will get to post a picture. (We have never actually gotten to the third place actually posting a picture.)

Old NEW RULE: The last picture poster is responsible for PM'ing the winner to let them know it's their turn.

Well send out a search party, in the meantime play on :-)



I know games evolve as time goes on, But can the next winner of the caption contest put Beets back in the title?

edit~ When we have to start a new thread of couse.

With the Count to 10000 thread less than 50 away from it's goal (having been extended once)what is the general consensus as to it's future.

I personally suggest either a pause or a return to 1.

Your thoughts.
