Every week I will post a picture, and you respond with a comment for the picture to be the caption. The point is to be funny. My assistant and I will review every comment at the end of the week, before the next photo is posted, and choose the funniest and 2nd funniest comments in our opinions to be the caption. The winner will receive 12 reward points and the runner up will receive 5 reward points. But you most vote on this topic to get the points! (They come out of our bank)Week 1: Let the comments roll.

Is it just me, or does this seem like the biggest scam of reward points?

You don't like it? I thought it'd be a good idea. I saw this on Yahoo Sports and thought it'd be kinda cool and can get the league involved and the winner would get reward points

Well then if you guys don't like the idea then forget it. Oh well, I thought it'd be cool.

The idea itself is not the problem. In fact, I think The Thread God used to host this competition before the idea of reward points was even thought of. The problem is that you will be turning a serious reward point profit while only giving out 3 points total, all for just posting a picture every week. Clever, but I'd be surprised if it catches on with the current reward point guidelines. And if it does, I wish I thought of it first.

Well, I spend a lot of time going through pictures to find one that could be funny ;D Hmm, I thought that'd be a good idea because you spend 0 points on this, yet could come out a winner...Well if thats not enough then, what if I revised it? Winner receives 10 points from the Miami bank, runner up receives 5?

I think this is still a good idea. Noones given any reward points yet, except for me. I think that's one good thing about the reward points idea - it's self regulating. If people think that something took no effort at all, or has no merit, they wont give any points. It's like quality control.
I might try and think of a caption later.

I think it's a good idea as well, worth a try. Since I don't have much time right now, I'll post a caption later.
PS. The Shaq wall vs Gerald Wallace would be great picture for this.

IMO, the 1st and 2nd should get more. Otherwise, it's pretty unfair IMO. All you would have to do is post a picture.

Ok, I'll edit it.
The winner will receive 12 RPs
The runner up will receive 5 RPs
Is this fair? All you do is come up with something clever for the picture and if you win, you walk out with points for the bank.
I would make it so that if you participate its an automatic '4' rating. Or should I do 3? The problem with 3 is if only 5 people participate, thats 15 points, but I'm supposed to dish out more than I received, whereas with 4 there would be 20 reward points and 17 goes to the winners.

So no one is interested huh? Not even with a 12 point reward hanging on the winner?
