AllTimeMarr Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Do you have time for a quick vote? (: This is the direct link to vote on my caption: http://www.neopets.com/games/caption_browse.phtml?page=0&action=vote&actionid=18760841 I don't know if you have to change your game language (to 'Nederlands') to vote? Someone want to test it? I currently have 1 vote *my own, haha*. // UPDATE: It seems like you don't have to change the language to vote directly ^_^ You can vote every 4 hours - for either a caption on the English / Dutch server or whatever language! Apparently you can't vote on each server once every four hours. Edited January 13, 2015 by AllTimeMarr fullonparanoid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I clicked on your link, but I already voted for mine this morning, and apparently it uses the same counter despite the different languages. Good luck in the contest! The contests in other languages have fewer winners. I notice there were 3 winners in the last Dutch contest, and there are 5 entrants this time. Does everyone place with so few entrants? How many people get each trophy? And do you have any idea what proportion of entries are even accepted? Sorry for bombarding you with questions. I'm just curious how they work, especially since I also speak French, and am wondering if I should enter the French competition instead (at least for the avatar round...). (I realize the French and Dutch competitions could have different prize distributions...) Good luck again! P.S. Since the direct link does seem to work, you might want to put it in your signature. (Sorry for my link appearing in mine; I really wish there were an option to omit your signature for certain posts... Oh, wait, there are "reply options." Wow, hope this works. My apologies if it doesn't and my link shows up.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTimeMarr Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I really don't have any idea about the details, but yeah, our contests are almost dying :( I am gonna try to at least submit in each Caption Contest! Because our NT already died YEARS ago :( And my English is not that good that I can try to submit in the English Neopets, haha. I don't want our contests to get cancelled just like the Portugese ones. Last time I participated (when I got third place!) there where around 10 entries selected I think. I have no idea how many people actually submit captions. The three captions with the highest vote amount will be rewarded. I really suggest you also participate in the French one! There might be less competition, haha, but it will also make it less likely to get cancelled like the Portugese ones. But beware to not advertise on the boards other then French boards, because you'll get a warning (so I've heard). The Dutch NeoBoards are also dead... :( I always play on English, besides these contests. I've also submitted in the Storytelling contest sometime. I think I'll make that a regular too!

siniri Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Wow, only 3 prizes in 10 entries -- that's much fiercer competition than the English contest! I don't know if my French is good enough to make a perfectly worded joke, especially if I can't advertise it on the English boards (though I guess I could still advertise it off-site...). Your English is excellent, but I hope the Dutch contest continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I had a really tough time thinking of something funny with this picture, I did submit a caption in Dutch, just because I don't want it to die, which I hadn't realised was a possibility... It was quite bad, I didn't even find it funny, but oh well. Good luck, I think I have voted, but I got an error, so I'm not sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullonparanoid Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Good luck, Marr! :D I know someone who enters both the French and the Spanish versions...if I had a strong enough grasp of another language I might try for the avie rounds. As it is, it is just the English one for me...so I hope I make it in later this year! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your English is excellent, but I hope the Dutch contest continues. Fiercer competition? How does it work at the English contest? How many entrants do win something? Everyone? & Yeah, I'll just advertise it on here too, haha. Also, I did put it in my signature on neopets, but the "action=vote" part got blocked... meh! :( Even though I had a really tough time thinking of something funny with this picture, I did submit a caption in Dutch, just because I don't want it to die, which I hadn't realised was a possibility... It was quite bad, I didn't even find it funny, but oh well. Good luck, I think I have voted, but I got an error, so I'm not sure... Too bad your caption didn't make it to the votings :( It would indeed be a shame if the contest also died! It will be my new year's resolution to submit a caption every week :D Thanks for voting, I appreciate it! I've now got 1 vote more then #2.

Lia Seeya Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thank you for voting in the Caption Competition! I didn't have to change my language. o: I hope it registered! It's so cool that we have three TDNers in the CC this week. I hope you all win big! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 In the English competition, the first 5 get gold, then the next 10? get silver, followed by another 10 getting bronze (not sure about the division between silver and bronze, but it's top 25 that get prizes). Last time, there were 40 captions accepted, so that's ~2/3. About twice 30%! Of course, your chance of even making it into the final 40 is lower in English, so I guess it all evens out... You could advertise it on your signature using the link to browse all captions, but mention the language. I bet at least some people would be willing to click for you -- it's only like 2 extra clicks. I suspect that the language CCs are pulled when the language is pulled, so if the Dutch boards are dead... Then again, so are the English boards (except for like 2 of them).

Avia loves Chias Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 i think i voted for you? i clicked the link, but the page it directed me to was in english. i'll try it again later with changing the language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane for Wax Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think I voted too but I got sent to the English one. Since Ukrainian isn't a language available, it's the only other one I'd do instead of English. German has a lot of people so I don't see that getting cut thus no reason for me to try. And Russian is too different from Ukrainian. lol Good luck! It says I voted so hopefully it counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTimeMarr Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think all the votes registred :D Since I know have 26 votes! Seems impossible without TDN people voting :-D Thank you all! The runner up now has 19 votes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globetrottertje Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Heya! A fellow Dutchie here! Of course I will vote. Eta: I clicked the link and I got an error saying "Error: Sorry, maar je kunt maar één keer per 4 uur een stem uitbrengen op één van de onderschriften." That means that I can only vote once per 4 hours. But I haven't voted at all yet. I'll try using another browser. If that doesn't work, there must be a glitch.

AllTimeMarr Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thank you all for the votes! I won the competition :) I now upgraded my bronze to a Gold trophy <3 Though for one reason or the other the bronze also counts as a gold? Because it says 2x CHAMPION ... well :-P Ruto and siniri 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Congrats on the trophy upgrade! And that's a fast prize distribution! I'm still waiting for the one before Christmas... and maybe the one before that? I've lost track. I figure TNT will get to it eventually...

Maybe because there aren't many winners? When I won the Storytelling contest, the prize distribution was really slow. I did not know about that, so I submitted a ticket. I thought it was like automatic, winner gets the trophy and prizes, haha! I was so ignorant :-I I participated in the Storytelling contest again (Dutch of course) and I think my piece will make it through :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
