Contest Topic
LOLCATS CAPTION ME: Illustrated Girls Edition

What are we doing?
Submitting creative illustrated girl(s) pics with YOUR OWN lolcats caption.

How long do we have?
Accepting submissions 11/1 - 11/15.

Is there a limit to how many I can submit?
I was originally going to say "no" but I have decided to limit to NO MORE THAN 3 PICS PER PERSON in order to avoid submission overload and encourage more creativity and thought into each post made.

Why should I participate?
The main idea is to have some fun. But to encourage participation, the two best submissions will be awarded a prize. And yes, the same person can win both 1st and 2nd if their pics are creative and deserving enough.

1st Place - $15 gift card to choice of either thinkgeek.com or amazon.com
2nd Place - $10 gift card to choice of either thinkgeek.com or amazon.com

I know, I know, the prizes aren't that impressive...but I am funding this one out of my own pocket!!! Prizes will be e-mailed to the winars.

How will you determine the winars?
Each time a submission is made, other members of the forum (you can't vote for your own work) will vote on them by scoring it on a scale of 1-10. To keep this process simple, the two submissions with the best scores win. Because the final vote will be based on an average, those of you who plan to vote, please vote for EACH SUBMISSION so that the average number is fair. Please remember that you are voting for overall creativity and how genius everything ties together, it's not just about the picture itself or the caption itself.
In the event of a tie, Sudden Death will occur (details of this process is Top-Secret). When placing a vote, please indicate which submission you are voting for!!! Otherwise I will assume that your vote was for the last posted submission. So if someone posts a submission a mere miliseconds before you post your vote and you don't indicate who you are voting for, well...too bad for you and the person you were TRYING to vote for and hoorah for the person who gets a freebie vote.

GOOD VOTE:
:score010: for Nekko Noir's cat girl submishe, pls!

BAD VOTE:
:score010:


Miscellaneous Rules

1. Please be original. DO NOT post a captioned pic that you find on the Internet that is not your own work. If you are found out, it will result in automatic disqualification. :(

2. Because this is a public forum, no nudity, sexuality, tentacles, etc. You must keep the submissions SFW. There are plenty of ways to achieve creativity without resorting to these measures. Sorry to take the fun away from some of you. :p

3. There is a chance that this thread could get pretty lengthy, so please refrain from posting comments (unless you do so along with your vote). As always, be civil. No meanies allowed! If you don't like the submission, a bad vote in itself is plenty sufficient.


I think that's about it! Have fun, everyone!! :partytime2:

This thread, existing on this forum, is simply the intersection of about 3 different planes of geek-dom.

Go to the following websites to get some sample ideas of what ''lolspeak'' is about:

http://lolcats.com/
http://icanhascheezburger.com
http://lolpresident.com

Basically the idea is that you find pictures (illustrated girls / anime is the theme of this contest) and make up funny text to go along with it. Once you take a look at a few of the above sites, you'll get the idea. Since this is just the first LOL contest, we'll go easy on the submissions made by first-time lolspeakers, as long as the effort is creative and funny. :D

I give Jay's "horns" pic a 7/10, good idea but could have been better executed. The buttsecks pic is an 8/10, it's the perfect pic for that but the caption font doesn't really fit.

Okay, well...there's not a whole lot happening with this thread. The idea was to try and have more people posting and to generally have fun. I think part of the problem is that the particular theme only caters to a very small population. I am considering changing the theme to cater to a more broad audience or else just retract the idea altogether. Just a consideration at this point. :(

You don't have to be... all you have to be able to do is do a google search and pick out a picture that is captionable!

Ok, lemme bust out some ratings.... and everyone check mines out. I'll give the metal hornz a 6/10, cause I think it'd have been funnier as emo metl hornz, or, i'm so emo, even my metl hornz cry.

Surprise buttsecks.... gets a 6/10 also. Mostly cause as colin said, it was the perfect pic, but there was no real originality there. Surprise tentacle monster would have given it an instant 10.

Colin gets an 8 on the NOM NOM NOM, mostly because I I think NOM NOM NOM is the best lolcats thing EVAR.

The Michael Jackson thing almost only got a 6, but the I can has little boys gets it another two points, so I give it an 8.

As much as I'd like $15 to Amazon, I'm gonna have to say Emo Sad Tentacle Monster is teh winnar.

Extending through end of November. If, by that time, nobody else (besides Jay, Colin, and Tom) have posted, may have to come up with an alternative. Either a different theme that envelopes more peoples' interest, or retraction of the prize. :(
