Angeló Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 they didn't publish the captions for 3 days .. and in the end ... they publish .. THIS?!!!!!!!!! most of them aren't even funny or witty .. I submitted more than 40 captions and most of them deserve to be in the CC !!!!! and what sucks more is that the CC will be featured once per week only now .. which means .. to get to CC 2200 .. we need 100 weeks .. that's 25 months .. more than 2 years !!! ..!!!!! this sux big timeeeeeeeeeeee ... AAARRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH :grrr: :grrr: :grrr: http://www.neopets.com/games/new_caption.phtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuusei Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I know what you mean! Sometimes I don't get Neopets' humor... Maybe Laywerbot is the one in charge of approving captions! Haha! This does suck big time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Well, only a year before the french version of the caption contest awards the avatar... I did try to get into this English version of the caption contest, but I think I was a bit late with my submissions so TNT probably did not even look at them.

Noog Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 So wait, is the Grarrl getting hit with ice cream number 2100? I just submitted a REALLY clever caption. *crosses fingers* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Noog .. I'm so sorry man , but your caption didn't make it ... just like mine didn't :angry: Xepha what do you mean the French version ?? are the French captions different than English ones :eh: I just went to the French section OMG each CC features only 3 or 4 captions lol must be super easy .. sadly my knowledge of French is very limited ...

Noog Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 :( And I really liked mine.. Knowing the difference between "It's Springtime!" and "It's Spring Time!" can make all the difference. The worst part is that pretty much EVERYONE is competing for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurabelle Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Okay, my captions may not have been amazingly witty but most of them were better than about half of those! Do you think they only look at the first hundred or so that are submitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Okay, my captions may not have been amazingly witty but most of them were better than about half of those! Do you think they only look at the first hundred or so that are submitted? I submitted a few the moment the contest was released , then a few a couple hours later , then a few about a day later ... they overlooked all of them !!! some of them were "well , he did ask for the Bouncy Supreme" ... and "That will teach him to make clothes out of my drapes" .. I really submitted over than 40 ones and as you said, maybe they're not super witty but most of them are better than the ones they chose !!! I just submitted this to the NT Editorial : Dear TNT, you mentioned that the Caption Contest will now be featured once per week only, which means the "funny" avatar won't be available again for 100 weeks, that's 25 months !! can you please change that avatar system to every 30 or even 25 contests instead ?! that would be more fair to everyone, especially that this particular contest is humanly judged , and that will cause controversy due to technical limitations on the number of featured captions, etc, and I know lots of users are very disappointed, myself included, for submitting more than 40 captions and not getting in. Please take this into consideration and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Okay, so I feel really dumb, I thought you could only submit 1 submission like the Lenny Conundrum so that everyone had a fair chance. Why can you submit 100s of captions? :eh: Also, do they not add any new ones to vote on now that there are some options? Meaning if I submit one now, does it automatically not show up (yeah I know mine will not be likely to be picked to be put up anyway but I was really wondering if it is possible to get in after the put up the first voting options)?

If you have a thousands caption ideas, you are free to submit them all... but one by one ;) Once the vote is opened, you cannot get featured anymore. (So it's pointless to submit your caption when you are able to vote for the current contest). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I feel as though they should have specified that on the submission page. Because while I know chances of getting in are very slim, I also don't think I've ever submitted any captions before there was the ability to vote :rolleyes_anim: way to go me. Thanks for the info though. Now I can claim not getting featured resulted from submitting at the wrong time and not the fact that I had lame suggestions :rolleyes_anim: :laughingsmiley: haha, I wish.

Angeló Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 you can submit as many captions as you want as long as they're all different ... but if you keep submitting the same one it'll just irritate them and they might even hate you forever (TNT is known to hold grudges against certain players) ... if you submitted two captions and both were really , really , really good , they might both appear for voting ... it happened before with the girl named flosset who used to be the CC ultimate champion ...

Viridian Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 We're only at caption 215 in dutch, haha! That'll be a while, too. Oh and it's caption contest 1200, so I'll change the title for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 oh ok thanks ... I have a tendency to flip things around sometimes lol .. I thought 2100 was maybe a bit too high ... 1200 then , so be it .. and thanks for changing it :) at least people who know 2 languages have one more chance of getting in . haha ... one of the featured captions has a reference to dung "brownie blast" !!!! seriously TNT !!??!?!

Rachany Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Um...Please excuse me for my lack of knowledge, but what's so special about the 'hundreds'? This goes for the Caption contest, the Neopian Times, and any other things that fit in the category. On the other hand, I just submitted a caption, and I realized there is some serious competition!

As I already stated... submitting a caption AFTER the vote is released is a waste of time. Entries have already been selected for voting and yours has not a chance to make it now... :( They are so special because they award avatar. For the caption contest, it's every 100's and for the times it's every 50's. Caption Contest - Funny Neopian Times Writer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 oh that elusive NT avatar .. only established comics / authors have a chance of getting it .... most of them are on good friendship terms with Viola and Dragona who publish anything for them .... they also give them avatar hints and such <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
