Welcome to the extremely unofficial Escapist Caption Contest!


How to play

For those of you who are new to this game, here's a quick tutorial.

Basically, the game moderator puts up an image/screenshot of actual in-game footage. Anyone registered may enter the game. You simply enter a caption for the given image. The caption may either be funny, clever or a witty fact or a combination of the three. It is encouraged to enter short captions since long one usually drags off the comedy/sense.

The game moderator's decision is final. Do NOT complain if you have lost or didn't receive points.


The Scoring System

The game will go on for 15 rounds. By the end of the game a winner will be declared and he will receive the privilege to open the next Caption Contest. The rankings will be displayed after each round.

Each round will have three winners and a few runner ups. Each place has its own respective score:

First place receives 4 points.
Second place receives 3 points.
Third place receives 2 points.
Honorable Mentions receive 1 point.

These are the special bonuses are at the judge's discretion. Note these will not be handed out on every round

LMFAO! Bonus - If a caption makes me laugh hysterically, you'll get a 3 point bonus.
Tie-In Bonus - This one is an extra point if your caption makes a witty reference to a current event.
Random Bonus - I will announce surprise bonuses along with some rounds, with point values for them.


Round 1




Results for Round 1 will be given on Saturday and Round 2 will be published simultaneously.
