A few days ago Sneak proposed an awesome idea: a Land Before Time caption game. The idea is simple - each round the previous winner will pick a suitable image concerning the land before time and specify if they want short captions in response or mini-stories. Then, after everyone has had three days to come up with no more than two captions, all of those who posted captions will have the chance to vote for the best. The winner becomes the new game master. :yes
The complete rules are as follows:
1) The game master (previous winner) will post a caption-worthy image related to the Land Before Time.
2) The game master will announce (in the same post) if he wants captions that are:
..........a) Short;
..........b) A mini-story; or
..........c) Either
3) Competitors will have the ability to post caption responses for three days from the post. There shall be a limit of two captions per competitor.
4) At the end of the three-day period (two days after the time the caption was posted) the game master will announce that it is time to vote and the competitors shall then have three days to vote on the winner; provided:
..........a) No one can vote for themselves;
..........b) the game master can only vote to break a tie; and
..........c) The game master cannot compete in the round he/she presides over.
5) The winner of the round will then become the new game master.
Now, as Sneak proposed this great idea I think he should have the right to be the first game master and to submit the first image. Have fun, everyone! :)

Little introducion words from myself and qualification about types of answers-captions, at least, how I see them on my vision:
Everyone is welcome here!
Don't be afraid to write anything you think about when you are looking at pictures. Try to write quick-made improvisation texts. Show us your imagination, writing skills and sense of humor. :D
Let make Captions and Pictures fun!
Captions can be determined before round starts as "short", or "ministory", or "either short or ministory".
Shorts mean well... short test. XD One-two-three sentences, or very short dialogues. The most of posts in Caption Pic contain such stories. :D
Ministory means, well, more long text with elements of good written real LBT fanfiction. Don't be afraid, it's not necessary to write as long as one-page fic, or deeply good fanfiction that can be taken for script of movie, or something like this. :D Just take picture as inspiration to your short funny (or not so funny :s) story from life of gang, with more dialogue lines or charcters' actions than in usual captions, conclusing with logical, or sudden, or fun final.
If game master choses "either" option, then wrute anytjhing you want. :D
------------
Ok, here is first picture! (Myself would try to take pictures from holy original movie, as I liked to do before. :D )
(http://i66.tinypic.com/k15gug.png)
Write short caption to this funny scene.
aaaand...
Captions away!
(sad game master can't write xaptions to his picture there... :'( *goes to other captions threads*)
-
That moment when you are volunteered for something you don't want to do but put on a smile anyway.
-
Ducky: Ooh! I get to be used as bait!
-
Littlefoot: "Dang, Chomper is really cranky this morning. Guess he got sent to bed last night without dinner. Looks like he's ready to rip somebody's head off!"
Petrie: "Who nice dino that can calm him down?"
*everyone stares at ducky*
:sducky
(Is this considered a ministory? might have some clarification on what's the difference of short caption and ministory)
-
^ Your caption was three sentences, which I think would still qualify as a short caption as per Sneak's definition in his post. So I think your caption is perfectly fine.
-
Yeah, it is short line.:)
-
Littlefoot: "So who's going to explain to Topsy that Cera got lost while exploring those caves?"
Petrie: "Me no it, me no it. ME NO IT!"
Spike: *violently shakes head*
Littlefoot: "Hmm, how about..."
Everyone: *staring at Ducky*
Ducky: :sducky :sducky :sducky
-
When you think everyone is laughing with you but they're actually laughing at you.
-
Finally, I have internet.
It seems first voting time has come! :D
Vote for the most favorite caption!
-
There were several good captions this time. Ultimately though, I think I must cast my vote for Ducky123's entry. :yes
-
It is hard to decide but I think I will vote for vonboy's caption
-
There are some good ones, but my vote goes to Ducky123
-
I think I'll vote for rhombus. I've had enough of those moments at work.
-
My vote goes to Ducky123
-
just noticed: since all 5 competitors voted - we have a winner!
Congrats, longneck bigmouth! ^^ You have 3 votes- and it's your turn!
I liked Ducky's and Vonboy's answers though. :D
-
Alright, I wouldn't have even noticed that it's my turn if a certain geometric shape didn't tell me about my glorious victory :OhYou
Well, have fun with this classic!

-
Ducky just remembered the time she was shot out of a makeshift catapult by her friends. (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=15134.0)
-
@Ducky: We have to write short prompt or ministory?
-
Both is fine by me, let your creativity flow and make me laugh :D
-
since 2 days have passed, as I understand, Rhombus is winner by default. :sducky (such irony, I have to use this smile now XD )
-
It looks like that is the case. Assuming that it is now my turn by default, as Sneak said, either a short story or a narrative can be made for this image:
(https://i.imgur.com/FGeJqOg.png)
Have fun! :)
-
Ruby was trying to show the rest of the Gang where her thinking place is, but after a while, she realized she was taking them all the wrong way and was afraid of how the Gang, especially Cera, would react to her telling them.
-
That moment when you realize you forgot your food in the oven :sducky
-
Chomper: Hey, Ruby. Mo has just told me he can't find his Shell Walker friend. Did you see him by chance?
While Friends For Dinner tune suddenly began to play, Ruby realized that she didn't go insane when she thought she could hear scream coming from shell she found during dinner time. Trees, rocks and shells can't scream obviously. Can't they?..
-
It's time!
I vote for Littlefoot505!
-
Well, with the voting period having concluded, Littlefoot505 is the next game master. :yes I do think, however, that perhaps the voting period should be increased to 2 days in the future.
-
Have fun with this one!
(https://s20.postimg.org/e2o2mmgdp/pdvd103k_zps770ce148.jpg)
You can do whatever you want to in terms of a story/short funny caption.
-
I thought everyone would vote lol. That was strange.
If I keep my vote it would be more weird though... Nevermind, next time I would keep silence till the end. :D
*waits when inspiration comes*
And don't forget to say if it's short prompt or ministory!
Edit: *inspiration comes one minute later*
Tria: Can you believe in it, Cera? Topsy told me while we were sleeping, he decided to go to patrol the valley, and found pack of sharpteeth tried to come through great walls! He fought them alone, beat them, and chased them away! Your father is so brave and strong! When I tried to examine and heal his scratches, he rejected and said it is nothing! He's so beautiful...
Cera: *was not sleeping at night because she secretly went away to gang secret meeting, and saw dad's night "feats"...* Yeah, definitely, that's how it was.
-
Topps: "C-C-CREEPY CRAWLIES!"
Tria: "Topps, it was just a falling treestar..."
-
Yeah, the time frame is a bit short. As for me, I simply missed it. Same as baack when I was the gamemaster. I simply missed it because of the short timeframe :(
Anyway
Can't think of a good one right now :P
-
Well, how about extending voting period to two days?
-
I think that is a good idea. I will note the change in the rules. Participants now have 2 days to vote on their choice for best caption.
-
Edit: Sorry, I need to sleep at night now. Because I messed up prompts from different rounds and thought there were more participants! XD Plus I thought Ducky made prompt too.
fail XO
Edit2: Wait... Why do we wait two days then? XD
Game master?
-
If you want me to break the tie... I like both captions but DarkWolf's made me laugh too hard :D I'll vote for that caption if I may. :)
-
Littlefoot505?
-
Sorry. DarkWolf is the new game master.
-
Ok! Either narrative or short caption is fine for this one :smile
(https://i.imgur.com/I6tiGtc.png)
-
Rhett: "Uhh, what is this thing? I've never seen it before..."
Chomper: "Rawr!"
Rhett: "It has those sharp teeth... is this how... oh crap!"
Chomper: "Rawr rawr!"
Rhett: "SHARPTOOTH!!!"
(Rhett's first encounter with an actual sharptooth ;) )
-
as I understand, Ducky is winner by default.
-
Hmm, why are so few people participating? :(
I'll need to find a good caption first though
-
I wonder if perhaps everyone who wants to participate in this game should let it be known formally? Then the game master (whoever it is at the time) could PM everyone when it is time to make captions, time to make a vote, etc.
-
I would participate more myself but I usually have a hard time thinking of what to come up with.
-
Alright guys, I finally prepared a new caption. While this is not the most prone for comedy, I wanna see you try. Either story type is fine by me :)
(https://s20.postimg.org/ngk8er9t9/land-before-time-br-disneyscreencaps.com-3384.jpg)
-
Ducky: "So that's why swimmerism is the best way to share food, because sharing is good! Yep, yep, yep!"
Being too nice to express his more conservative views on herd dynamics, Littlefoot merely smiled and let the swimmer speak. Cera on the other hand...
"Are you trying to fill his head with that swimmer nonsense again! All you swimmers do is share, share, share... where does personal responsibility..."
Littlefoot (thinking): This is why I hate it when the Great Valley elections come up.
-
How many days do people have to write their caption again?
-
only 2 actually. So, Rhombus won by default days ago...
-
two days is a bit short, don't you think? And yes he did...
-
well, how often do people usually visit forum? (mine - almost every hour)
What number of days is not short? Or maybe people just don't want to play?
-
I think many people come around perhaps 2-3 times a week, with some people being significantly less than that. This is something we might want to keep in mind with this game. Should we ask on the Discord server who wants to play this game and then set up a PM alert system for when it is time to make captions and vote? The last time I floated that idea I didn't really get a response from anyone on this game topic.
I will post an image in a few days once we determine what we want to do going forward.
-
well, at first, I think we must somehow know do people have a time to see forum games (not just this one) and visit them but simply don't interested in them, or two days are not enough time period.
-
Alright, let's see what you guys can do with this one:
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/landbeforetime/images/c/c1/Ruby_3.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20150226181059)
Also... either option is fine (short caption or story)
-
can't see image in different browsers. :(
-
^ Hmmm... that's odd. I am seeing it fine on my end. Is anyone else having difficulty seeing it?
-
Ducky: Ruby? Are you alright?
Cera: She's been glaring at this wall for hours, it must have done something really bad.
Lame, I know :lol
And yep, I can see it!
-
Maybe something with provider...
Google images search shows me this picture:
http://landbeforetime.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ruby_3.png (http://landbeforetime.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ruby_3.png)
It's?
-
^ That's the one. :yes
-
can't see it either, weird
-
^ Okay, used a different link. PostImg appears to be a pain lately.
-
Great. I used Postimg for my recovered captions. I see a lot of broken image links...
EDIT: It seems be an issue with their domain name. We need to change the image links from "postimg.org" to "postimg.cc"
Why, Postimg?! :bang :anger x(cera
EDIT AGAIN: I see Postimg is working on resolving the issue with their domain name, but it may be permanent x(cera
-
^oh wow, I used Ruby and Ducky for two of my drawings on this screenshot :D
Ruby: "...that's what you get for eating so much! Happy and fatty is not a healthy lifestyle, not a healthy lifestyle it is!"
Spike: :angel
Ruby: "... and what about Littlefoot, Chomper and Petrie?! If Spike can't move and they can't move, none of us can move and Chomper will go hungry and..."
Chomper: "If it comes to that, I'll eat Spike first so we can pass through."
Spike: YIKES (gets the hell out of the hole he's stuck in)
Cera: (very sarcastic) "Wow, it worked."
Ruby: "Good grief..."
-
time to vote? Would be kinda stupid if I voted since there's only one other entry besides mine :unsure:
-
^ Yeah, as there was only one entry this time you are now the winner, Ducky. :yes I am unsure what of changes to make in order to make the game more consistent at this point. I guess you could try emailing potential players when it is time to make captions and when it is time to vote (no one told me to stop PMing them this round). The previous contributors to this game have been: Me, Sneak, Littlefoot505, vonboy, Flathead770, and Darkwolf91. I also think the caption time and voting time should be extended to three days each. :yes
-
Sounds good :yes
-
so wait, Rhombus, what results of PM exploration? Did users answer? Why they didn't post? How many days are for caption and for voting now?
-
Oh right, it was my turn. My bad.
(http://caps.pictures/198/8-land-before-time/full/land-before-time-br-disneyscreencaps.com-4041.jpg)
Am I supposed to do the PMing now? :o
Both formats encouraged, now make me laugh! :lol
-
The link seems to be kinda temperamental, much like Cera :p
(here's one that should be more reliable)
(https://i.imgur.com/AGfeUV4.png)
-
Though no words were exchanged, Spike learned on that day that stealing treestars from Cera was a bad idea.
(and, yep, it is your time to PM people as you are the game master)
-
hmm, voting time?
-
Well... who would I vote for in that case? :p Did you PM people about the game? I think a lot of people are not being aware of what is going on in the game.
-
No I didn't. To begin with who is participating?
-
(rhombus looks around awkwardly and pokes the sleeping topic with a stick)
@Ducky123 @Littlefoot505 @DarkWolf91 @Sneak @vonboy
Ummm... I guess we should take a survey: who still wants to participate in this game? Once we get a firm head count then either I or Ducky123 can PM everyone and perhaps revive this game. From here on our whoever becomes the game master needs to send PMs to all participants when a new caption is made and when a voting period begins.
-
I'd continue to play
-
I am in of course. I don't like such topics die so quickly.

Uses CPR on Caption Game.
-
Anybody wants to revive it? :D
-
Anybody wants to revive it? :D
How does it work? I’ll check OP, but perhaps you could lead?
-
Rules are in first page.
I can be master, if you want, but I would like to start it only if enough people are interested. I don't want it went dead at the very beginning.
-
pssh, i'm down to participate. Time to bump this old topic (brushes cobwebs off)
-
I would love if many people participate in it. :O
-
I do like the voiting idea, and how we are able to take turns, however, its kinda hard to vote when you only have a couple of people joining in. Maybe we could work something out or we just continue to get this game some participants. Either way an action needs to be done.
-
@Sneak @The jewelstone queen I'll join in if you guys are up for it. We could play with three people. One posts the picture, and two create captions. Maybe we could start it back up again.
-
Oh yeah, I'm totally in!
-
Is it too late for me and 1 other to join in the fun?
-
I don't mind. This game is open for the entire forum!
Does anyone mind if I post a picture to start us off?
-
You're welcome, Little Bro. :)
And everybody is welcome to join.
Let's try it!
-
Is it too late for me and 1 other to join in the fun?
He's talking about me. :chompysmile
-
Well then, let's get this ball rolling
-
Well then, let's get this ball rolling
Sure, let's do it. :ChomperPOG
-
Okay, here's the picture. Time for everyone to create some captions!
-
Everyday Spike would kneel down to gaze at Petries goeguous eyes However, he may have gotten too carried away.
"Spike...what you do?"
-
(I guess we should make short captions, right?)
-----------------
Petrie expected an easy win...
But soon he will discover that Spike is a champion not only in Eating and Sleeping contests, but in close-up Staring contest as well.
Also Petrie expected Ducky will root for him, but she roots only for winners.
Sorry, Petrie, I am, I am.
-
Two weeks have passed instead of three days. And there's only two responses... :(
Game master? Your verdict?
-

It's been two weeks?? wow.
-
Well, in the rules, it states that no member can vote for their own caption. That means that you guys would just vote for each other and it would result in a tie. If there is a tie, the game master breaks the tie. So technically, there is a tie and I guess I'll break it.
My favorite caption was The jewelstone queen's! You're the game master @The jewelstone queen .
-
Awsome! Alright, lets see what you guys can come up with for this one
(for some reason it won't let me post the image, so I attached a file thingy instead)
-
water is quick sand now :)
-
Again: should we write short caption text, or write a ministory, or either of them? ;)
-----------
Ducky is confused why she is suddenly "saved from being drown".
Seems that Ruby forgot her friend is ace swimmer! Yep yep yep, she is!
-
Again: should we write short caption text, or write a ministory, or either of them? ;)
Either of them is just fine. Whatever you guys want! I'll wait for another day or two to either vote or pick the newest caption poster.
-
Welp, it's been a couple of days, and as informed I'll have to choose the one I like best to keep this going forward.
I'll have to go with Sneak's response on this one. I can see that going through Ducky's head
"I'm a swimmer, remember?" > :duckyworried
It is now Sneaks turn!
-

omg you double posted.
-
Sad to see nobody plays again... :(
What's a point if there's no voting?
-
yeah that's true. I mean, Rhombos was the one who started this and he's still on the GOF.
I'll just do whatever you guys wanna do.
This website needs more members. (I was thinking of warrior cats into the wild as I wrote that. )
-
This website needs more members.
Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUMPERS! :bestsharptooth
Imma attach my image choice. I'd be happy with either kind of caption. Take your time! :MomCompassion
-
(This time, I will wait until at least two more people joins. :P)
-
I’m in, if another person wants to join me?
-
Oh who cares, there's like 4 people playing now? I'll always be here!
Littlefoot didn't realize the whole gang was watcing him while he was snoring in his sleep.
-
Perfect, then I guess I’ll start too!
Littlefoot: What are you looking at?
-
(Good!)
--------------------------------------
Littlefoot tries to look serious and angry...
He failed. He is too nice and adorable for that!
-
Alright, I'm back, and I'm ready to start voting.
Three captions...and only one shall stand. Let the voting commence! :)littlefoot
-
hm...
My vote will go to Sneak this time. You're right, he is too adorable!
-
I cast my vote to the jewelstone queen.
-
I vote for Chomper94.
-
I vote for Sneak.
-
Only competitors can vote, Sammy.
-
Time for a tie-breaker...
Gonna give it to Jewelstone! Congratulations! :DD
-
Cool!
Ok, here's the next one, you can do how ever you like for this one.
-
Don’t worry, I was able to access the image so I think everything’s under control.
Littlefoot: Man, that was the best!
Cera: Yeah, if you didn’t use me as a sled!
-
It's been some time, I was going to vote today but there is only one entry. I'll wait another day and then choose the next winner
-
(as I always, I will wait until at least one more competitor shows up)
-
yep, I'll wait for one more entry then
