F1 Caption Game - Archive ThreadFormula 1

[Touring Mars]

Oops Sorry about that.

The last pic was pretty tricky given the similarity to the previous round. I want to keep the similarities to a minimum, though, so I'll make sure that next week is something a bit more different.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

How about a point for making a submission; man I need caption training

 

[funkyDucks]

Famine, you are as good as me at making F1 captions.

 

[Ferrari_458]

Woo, 4th Really wasn't expecting that I must say...

[tribolik]

I really hope the team brings me some good upgrades for spain Im getting slaughtered out there

 

[RACECAR]

Should've known the podium was gonna be a one hit wonder.

 

[LewyOs]

Only took 4 rounds to get some points. My title defence starts now.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

My 'Team' is having a horrible season so far - not a single point ; I hope 'we' can turn it around in Spain

 

[gorsad]

4 races, 4 different winners. I see a resemblance here.

Hope my team bring some major upgrades for Spain, after the podium in China the pace seems to have disappeared.

 

[Furinkazen]

Should've known the podium was gonna be a one hit wonder.

Only ever been in points twice, and they were two wins

 

[Pupik]

If I go any lower down the standings, I'll need to pre-qualify my humor (which is probably a good idea).

 

[Liquid]

Still in the top 10.

Score!

 

[BlacqueJacques]

My Team is bringing in some high priced quick-witted, oh and funny, help!

 

[funkyDucks]

In the top 22. Oh yeah.

 

[Lizard]

Unfortunately my funny failed at turn 8 sending me into the wall of sadness and boredom.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

My team has failed to unload the trailer each race. Actually, Touring Mars helped me unload one race but the car broke down upon starting.

 

[Famine]

If all the people who lolled at my caption gave me two votes, I'd have won. Bloody stay-at-home voters.

Oddly, I haven't voted yet this year because I genuinely haven't laughed at a single caption yet... Literally, not a one.

I don't think I have either. I don't keep track. I just vote for the ones I like the most.

Same.

But I'm not fishing for votes (!)

 

[Famine]

I'll just leave this here, for educational purposes. And sulking.

[Famine]

One raised a smile last week - can't remember which - but since we have to share votes across more than one caption I couldn't give it a point.

I haven't laughed at a one. Even one of my own was too crap to make me smile at it when I looked at it again in the voting thread - I even lost my own caption when scanning through the entries. Last year, not a problem. There were often three or four chucklers in there and it was an issue who to leave out...

Interesting spread of votes and winners so far though...

 

[Lizard]

From the rules.

You are expected to vote if you have entered that round. Failure to vote in a round that you have entered will result in the loss of 1 championship point from your total. This penalty will increase by 1 additional point for every further failure to vote.

Ehem administer the punishment TM. Thats 10 points by my judgement.

 

[Famine]

From the rules.

Helpfully permanently stuck in post #1, so we're all aware of it already.

I cannot vote in a funny caption competition if I don't find a caption that is funny. That's not to say the captions are not funny, but that I haven't found them funny. I wouldn't vote a for a dog I thought was cute in an ugly dog competition, so I'm not going to vote for a caption I don't find funny in a funny caption competition.

That's how things are. I'm submitting captions I find funny not to score points but to make more funny. One week I failed when I didn't even find my own caption funny...

Well spotted, haitch... I forgot about that.

I haven't been operating that rule, to be honest, mainly because it gives me an unfair advantage since I always vote (even if it isn't posted in the voting thread). Also, I appreciate that it's not always possible to vote, and sometimes it just slips your mind.

The rule was put there to encourage voting when there wasn't quite enough people voting - but fortunately that hasn't been an issue this year.

I usually find one caption funny or maybe one is funny and one makes me smille and I vote in those... but there was one round that I didnt find any one particulary funny so I voted for the least bad ones... but I voted because of the rules...

BTW I did give you a vote in this last one...

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I didn't realise I won round 3 until about ten minutes ago. I only just found out, because I was curious as to when the next round would begin. I've submitted a photo to TM, so hopefully the next round can begin soon.

Im now confused.

I thought it was the round 4 winner choosing this one and you were supposed to choose the Bahrain picture.

When there are two races back to back (which has happened twice already this season), I have to choose the picture myself since the winner of the previous round is not known... prisonermonkeys didn't get to choose a pic for R4 so he got to choose one for this round - Furinkazen has one in the bank
