I am still completely lost adjusting to my new work schedule, missing waaaaay too much simple stuff like this. I need to make myself reminders or something. Defeat my own stupidity

Don't worry mate. You're not the first to have not voted on a round you won, and I expect you won't be the last. I brought back the "you must vote to get points" rule a few years ago when I was getting 10+ entries and 4 votes, and it seems to have worked well. In my defense, the opening post for each round does say "A reminder for everyone who enters a caption, please remember to vote or you won't receive any points for your caption that round.".
