"Conquer Club Comic Caption Contest"

Dear all members of Conquer Club,

Today is a good day. And furthermore, we would like to present to you the Conquer Club Comic Caption Contest.

The premise is simple, and you don't need any special skills - graphical, lyrical, the ability to time-travel or otherwise - in order to participate.

But for what? There's a classy General Achievement medal at stake.

Here's the comic:

It's your job to come up with a caption for the third panel.

The real objective? To write a caption which is engaging. It could be funny, disturbingly accurate, thought-provoking, somehow romantic, or really just interesting for whatever reason.

Simply send a PM to ManBungalow with the subject title "Conquer Club Comic Caption Contest" containing your caption. You don't need to edit the image, merely send the text in.

The deadline for submitting your caption is CC Time: 2013-07-7 17:00:00.

All entries shall then be put anonymously to TeamCC members for judging. The author of the most-voted-for caption will be awarded that General Achievement medal.

Technicalities:
Your caption is limited to one sentence.
One entry per person.

I'm finally ready to announce the winner of the CCCCC!

We had a lot of applications, which made things very difficult to judge and all the polls very close.

Congratulations to anamainiacks for his winning entry:

He will walk away with a General Achievement medal.

Thank you to all of those who entered, and keep watching the seas.

I'll post the rest of the entries anonymously for those who are interested. There are some real gems in here:
Spoiler
  • I guess my beer farts discombobulated the Atmospheric Noise today.
  • Now I know why everyone always complains about the dice on this site.
  • me dices is broken cc must really hate me!
  • bad news for the turn but statistically good news for the rest of the game.
  • fricking cooks
  • As you can see, knowing the Map and having superior Strategy will NOT help you one bit when playing against a Mod
  • I thought that dice hack I bought said it was good for 9's not nine 1's???
  • I'm fine with this result, I'm still dropping 30 more than him.
  • and i believe Satan is alive...
  • Wouldn't give a f***, but this is a lot of points i'm losing to a Cook.
  • Oh well, at least it is a nice day to do yard work.
  • Fires in the West, shootings in the East, economies are falling and the World might be going to hell, but at least I'm rolling 6's!!
  • It should be easier to achieve Conqueror.
  • Hacking my opponent's account to attack myself really works!
  • Must find calculator to compute the odds of this #$&*#%@!!!
  • stupid obamacare!! you ruin everything!!
  • NOW I know where they hid the WMD's!
  • Six, not sex, makes the world go round
  • Holy ****! I should be careful otherwise I'll get screwed soon.
  • Um... 3x3x1 is 9 for me... 2x3x6 is 36 fom him…Oh shit and I lost the battle...!
  • My stratagems and plans would even impress the writer of The Art of War, but the confounded dice consistently give rolls that are about as likely as two asteroids simultaneously striking a starcruiser whilst on an intergalactic cruise to the planet Tyyrus.
  • Sweet!.......I cant wait to start a new thread in General Discussion!
  • Oh Cruel Fate Why dost thou Mock Me!
  • Well, better try Yahtzee now...
  • Hello Conquer Club; I have just received the secret code and claim my Brigadier ranking.
  • The classic world map is getting boring...hey...what if I design a new map based on giant dice?!?
  • I have made a covenant with death, and with Hell we are in agreement; you're all going to die, Die!
  • I just knew there would be consequences for hacking that Pentagon computer!
  • Shoulda known Moskva woulda put up a fight...
  • inhale, exhale, accept it happened and try once more
And an honourable mention to Jdsizzleslice for the caption shown here, which I unfortunately couldn't accept because it's not a sentence.

Sorry, Silkzone, but it has already ended! We have events like this semi-frequently, though, so be sure to keep an eye out!
