Forum Game Caption Contest Update/Standings

[Chris Craig]

I have been thinking about the scoring for the caption contest. As it is there are people not even on the score board yet. People are coming up with some good captions, but not getting rewarded for it points wise. So, I have decided to change the scoring format so that each poster will get 2 participation points for posting a caption, an extra point if it makes the poll, and two additional points should the caption win in the poll. This way everyone gets points.

I have tabulated the points for this change and here are the standings as of Caption Contest #27:


1.) @SlyPokerDog - 70
2.) @riverman - 68
3.) @e_blazer - 59
4.) @theprunetang - 55
5.) @Orion Bailey - 50
6.) @Sedatedfork - 47
7.) @selloutking - 44
8.) @barfo - 40
9.) @Eastoff - 39
9.) @PtldPlatypus - 39
10.) @HomerLovesKoolAid - 37
11.) @rasheedfan2005 - 34
12.) @BlazerWookee - 26
13.) @noknobs - 24
13.) @Shaboid - 24
14.) @rotary111- 18
15.) @RipCityDSCPL - 16
16.) @SheedSoNasty - 15
17.) @BBert - 14
18.) @BlazerCaravan - 13
19.) @dviss1 - 11
20.) @trailblazer18 - 10
21.) @Dougnsalem - 9
22.) @bodyman5000 and 1 - 7
23.) @Strenuus - 6
23.) @Sinobas - 6
24.) @ripcityboy - 5
24.) @EGame - 5
25.) @BonesJones - 3
25.) @Andalusian - 3
25.) [USER=20922]@BoBoBREWSKI - 3
25.) @Sleepwalker - 3
25.) @Fonzthecpt1 - 3
25.) @HCP - 3
26.) @Wizard Mentor - 2
26.) @Voodoo - 2
26.) @HAAK72 - 2
26.) @Saint Cy of JFC - 2
26.) @UncleCliffy'sDaddy - 2
26.) @gatorpops - 2
26.) @yenniedn - 2
26.) @Denny Crane - 2
26.) @KingSpeed - 2
26.) @RickyJoe - 2
26.) @stampedehero - 2


Or we can stay with how we've been doing it with just a point for whoever wins each contest:

1.) @SlyPokerDog - 7
2.) @HomerLovesKoolAid - 4
3.) @barfo - 3
4.) @PtldPlatypus - 2
4.) @BBert - 2
4.) @noknobs - 2
5.) @e_blazer - 1
5.) @Sedatedfork - 1
5.) @dviss1 - 1
5.) @ripcityboy -1
5.) @Darkwebs - 1
5.) @selloutking - 1
5.) @riverman - 1
5.) @rasheedfan2005 - 1
5.) @SheedSoNasty - 1
5.) @BlazerWookee - 1
5.) @Eastoff - 1
5.) @Shaboid - 1
5.) @rotary111 - 1

Everyone else, not on the board.

I am going to let you guys decide whether to stay with the old way or change to the new scoring method in the above poll. Either way is fine with me. I just wanted to recognize the contributions made each game.[/USER]

So you came up with a new scoring system that makes it so you are in first place.

It just so happened it added up that way. I can take myself out of contention if that helps matters. Ironically, the change wasnt made to help me, but to give acknowledgment to everyones captions.

I'm just fucking with you. It's your game, you're doing a fantastic job running it, do the rules however you want. (Just make sure I'm the winner at the end of the season.)

Dude, you really have to divest yourself if you're the president of the game.

(BTW, the new scoring system makes sense to me.)

Divested.

 

[e_blazer]

Divested.

Jeez, I hope you aren't dropping out for good. Sly and I were just giving you some static. It's just a forum game, after all, so who really gives a rat's patootie who wins?

 

[Sedatedfork]

Don't divest yourself. Just don't take all the good captions!

 

[Chris Craig]

Don't divest yourself. Just don't take all the good captions!

I can't help it if I have all of the good wit

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I care dammit!

 

[theprunetang]

I'm down with the updated scoring system. It is the only way my wit will be understood.
