Picture #1
Picture #2
Picture #3
Picture #4
Picture #5
When it was agreed upon that forum names are allowed, I didn't expect 4 of the 5 groups to base their subtitles on them...and 3 groups using Terra.
True, but that's like making anything and everything into a Chuck Norris joke.Originally Posted by Augury
heh, perhaps i should've wrote that they're an easy way to gain votes, not a good way. I didn't mean to imply that that method is "positive," but rather that it works well and thus is good for that team.
Yeah, I meant to say what you just said. My wording was bad.
Voted for 5. None of them were too funny.... #5's quote seemed the most relevant to the picture it was applied to. But I guess Terra's not a called a sexfiend for nothing
Honestly, I expected better. Maybe everyone's trying a little too hard. I know that each team has some seriously funny people on it. Why not funnier captions?

I thought the same when I first looked at them, however I think they were all focused on the task, which is not to say they did bad. This is only the first event, and it gets harder each time
Snapshot #2 submission has a slight error in it, the team changed the resolution, nothing in the images itself was changed. More or less this was done to allow more text space. This issue was a gray area in this event. It was an honest mistake on their part as well as mines since i didn't address that issue in detail. I am giving them a -3 vote, as a penalty to make it a little fairer to the other teams. But I must remind you all this was a honest mistake.

image fail!
Picture #2 also has 3 subtitles, not 1. That gives them much greater flexibility in what they can accomplish. They pretty much have a short story going on.
The definition of "Wall of words" isn't clear but there isn't a limit...All groups could've done a multiple line sub.
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

I haven't posted in this thread before, because honestly I have no idea what: "This is not the place one-up-man-ship by the teams" even means, but what comes to the "wall of text", I'd think that's something that either bothers the audience (and they don't vote the candidate), or it doesn't bother (and they may vote). So, it's not really a rule that would be broken, but an aspect that might deter voters. In that sense I agree with Chaoskiddo.
It's starting to get easier to predict which team worked on which pic...at least for the pics in discussion.

Wow.
The poll is looking great.
What happens if there is a two way tie because I think we are certainly heading in that direction.
If picture 1 or 4 gets another vote it will tie with picture 2 ( considering the -3 vote penalty ).
It’s getting really interesting.
its tied right now.

votings ends friday right?
they've been somewhat slow since yesterday... its like almost everybody has voted already... almost.
Speaking for my team alone, it was hard to compromise with all the ideas we were throwing in. Everyone has different ideas of what's funny, and so the sub-par entries are probably just the cost of coordination.
I thought a lot of the entries were funny though, good job to the rest of the teams.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
That's kind of self-contradicting sentence. Yet it still answers the question. I have to agree with you. And the fact the votes have dispersed among the pictures like they have further proves the point: Different people find different things funny.
Although in a certain sense I still think that maybe having all the groups have the same picture might have also worked. It would have been a more true competition. Now it's just not choosing between the subtitles but also choosing between the pictures, and the teams couldn't affect that at all.
I like how three of the images are references to me and-
...oh that's probably old news anyway.
I vote for the one with the GW meetup. Awesome
I don't think I said that very well. What I meant was that we all had different ideas, but were forced to compromise because of 1.) The other team members and 2.) What we thought would win more votes or appeal to a greater audience. I think our creative edges were probably dulled because of those factors. The comedy seems more scripted and unnatural because it's the product of a group's ideas, instead of one "funny guy". Having said that, I'll reiterate that I thought everyone did a good job. A few of these made me laugh (aside from my own team's).

LOL, i was wondering why Terra didnt comment on that yetI like how three of the images are references to me and-

For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.
Is that a Katon?! They do exist!!
