Forum:Caption Crunch



Caption Crunch is a weekly Wiki activity. Each week, creator Webkinz Mania makes a blog each week with an image relating to Total Drama and posts his own caption. You are allowed to post your own captions too.

Rules

 * You need to follow all of our rules in order to post. That means no swearing, harassment, insulting, spamming etc.


 * You can post a caption no matter how many edits or how new you are to the Wiki.


 * You can make up to three captions, but you cannot vote for them and edit them after first creation, other than the reason for grammar and spelling mistakes.


 * You cannot copy other people's captions, reword captions or change a word or two, even with their permissions, unless it is a different week. If you do so, the votes on the duplicated caption will be given to the original caption (unless someone voted on them both).


 * Don't vote to make users feel better if they have no votes. It's either if you like it and find it funny, so you vote for them or don't like it all and don't vote for their caption.


 * If you don't get the image or the caption, please don't make comments saying that you don't know it. Just go ask them through their talkpage or ask me through my talkpage. You can also see where the images links to.


 * You cannot make immature comments, because it is really confusing when you add up the totals. Caption Crunch is a place to be mature and relax, not a place to be immature and go nuts.


 * You can vote only once per caption.

First Blog
The first blog was created on January 14, 2012, with its first image featuring two Total Drama: Revenge of the Island campers, Dakota and Sam.

Top Three
The top three voted captions get mentions in the following week's blog with the image of the previous week right above it.

Quick Success
Caption Crunch was instantly a success with over ninety comments in the first day alone and two-hundred comments in the first week. There has been no blog with under one hundred fifty comments throughout it's first two months on the Wiki, becoming one of the most popular Wiki activities ever.

Success Similarity
A similarity of all the success through it's debut on the Wiki was GleekForTheater's "Couple Ranking Game", which was voting up and down their favorite couples every hour or so (this lasted for a few weeks before it was moved to Total Drama Camps Wiki).

Voting
Voting is really unique in Caption Crunch. You vote for your favorite captions and don't for the ones you don't like. You can vote by posting.

An example of this is

However, just like Facebook, there is no way to dislike any captions in Caption Crunch, to avoid confusion for the vote counter and just to give everyone a better feeling about how hilarious or great their captions are. There will not be a dislike voting system implanted in, except for very special weeks.
