LBT Caption Game

rhombus · **on:** March 06, 2018, 06:47:23 PM

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ok, here is first picture! (Myself would try to take pictures from holy original movie, as I liked to do before.

)

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*

(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*

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!

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.

Ducky123 · **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2018, 04:54:20 PM

It is hard to decide but I think I will vote for vonboy's caption

Littlefoot505 · **Reply #12 on:** March 09, 2018, 05:40:33 PM

There are some good ones, but my vote goes to Ducky123

Flathead770 · **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2018, 07:21:00 PM

I think I'll vote for rhombus. I've had enough of those moments at work.

vonboy · **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2018, 03:43:45 AM

My vote goes to Ducky123

Sneak · **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2018, 02:06:13 PM

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.

Ducky123 · **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2018, 08:57:41 PM

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

Well, have fun with this classic!

Ducky just remembered the time she was shot out of a makeshift catapult by her friends.

Sneak · **Reply #18 on:** March 12, 2018, 05:33:53 AM

@Ducky: We have to write short prompt or ministory?

Ducky123 · **Reply #19 on:** March 12, 2018, 11:13:53 AM

Both is fine by me, let your creativity flow and make me laugh
